It just seems like about 5 writers had that idea at the same time.I mean, Thor has good showings against Thanos himself, nevermind his lackeys.
I have to say this is kinda what I was thinking. I mean Thors fight with Emma was no disgrace. Even without the phoenix force she is still a formidable opponent.
Just imagine Emma didn't have the Phoenix force and she was able to use her tp and her diamond form at the same time. She would be capable of taking out alot of powerful characters, now you add the phoenix force and thats one hell of a powerful character.
Just the fact he resisted her tp was very impressive.
I think its always been like that back in the day they 'killed' Thor in Secret Wars to creat an OH-****-the-bad-guys-just-too-out-a-major threat-moment.
