Are you trying to say lack of proof is proof in itself that a person is incapable of doing something?
You might have a case if he looked like he was exerting himself in the slightest when dealing with multiple machine gun rifles simultaneously being shot at him. He did have to take a few minutes to absorb energy out of a nuke but Nuke is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Anything Thor ever did.
Originally posted by Silent MasterSo we are automatically to assume that Shaw would be incapable of absorbing Thor's attacks just because he didn't face a singular opponent as powerful as Thor? Dunno if I can agree with that.
Thor has feats that are above what Shaw has shown able to instantly absorb.
And imo, absorbing the entirety of a nuclear reactor's power (which Shaw had no reservations whatsoever about doing) shows that he is capable of easily absorbing/storing energies > what Thor has displayed. Shaw not absorbing said energies "instantly" doesn't mean much. It's the same amount of total energy regardless of how fast he absorbs it. Additionally, he was only capable of absorbing the energy as fast as the ship could deliver it--it's not his faulty it couldn't be delivered "instantly".
I'd also like to remind everyone that Shaw seemed capable of amplifying the energy he absorbed by a very high margin. This was beautifully portrayed during this scene.

(0:22-0:30 for the energy absorption, then 0:40 for the [amplified] energy release.)
Originally posted by Silent MasterShaw's original plan was to absorb ALL of the reactor's energies--a task he was well on the way to completing until Magneto powered it down. Obviously Shaw wouldn't risk overloading himself if he knew such a feat wasn't within his ability. :/
He didn't absorb the whole reactorand what he did absorb took several minutes,
and yes, the speed he can absorb at does matter.
Again, Shaw was only capable of absorbing the energy as fast as the ship could deliver it... Not his fault said energy was delivered at a slower pace. :/
The speed at which Shaw absorbs energy matters? What're you basing that claim on? Certainly nothing Shaw said or did in the film. :/

So nothing then... how you name the feats that are greater than what shaw did on panel that leads you to believe Shaw couldn't absorb it.
I've already named a couple of them, ie the ground pound and the lightning strike.
At no point did Shaw ever absorb an attack that powerful.
Originally posted by KingD19Youre totally missing the point, he absorbed them with complete ease showing he had no problem with anything shown to come his way.
A standard grenade from the cold war era is not comparable to Thor. Neither is a single bazooka round. And he took a barrage of bullets, and a single bazooka. A bazooka can hardly penetrate a tank.
Its funny posters say Shaw never absorbed attacks on Thors lvl!! yet when did we see Thor put down a energy absorber!!

I get the point. But just because he can absorb those levels of attack with ease, doesn't mean he can do the same with Thor's level of attack.
Comparisons are everything. A grenade is let's say getting hit by an average boxer. Thor's attacks are like getting hit by a car going 90mph. There's a huge difference and you can't put one next to the other.
