Zeus is clearly superior amongst all the others gods. So lets state some feats:

Speed: Ares super blitz. Thor is a statue.

Strength: Zeus Pulls those two columns down.

Striking Force: Zeus throws a chain through a Titan. Zeus punches through a Titan. I doubt Thor can do that to a human.

Durability: Poseidon's orbital dive, creating a tidal wave.

Versatility: Not all applicable in combat, but clearly has more godly powers than Thor: Shapeshifting, Creating a magical whip from fire, teleportation, summoning horses.

The orbital dive was WTF.

You're clearly wrong on most of these

Speed: I'll give you speed but the Titans could hit and react to the gods, and a human was able to react and take out a Titan using the bow. So while the gods are fast they are obviously can be dealt with.

Strength: Thor is able to stop a blow from the Hulk with one arm. Was strong enough to crush Ironman's armor with his bare hands, the armor is very durable. And Zeus only destroyed the ankles of the giant statues and that is what brought everything down. Impressive but not exactly pulling down the entire columns themselves.

Striking: Thor was able to send Frost Giants flying with his swings, could hit cars and send them flying at enemies. Broke through the Bi-Frost bridge. And sent Hulk flying with a hammer shot. Punching through the titans doesn't compare with those.

Durability: Thor survived the Bi-Frost explosion, took blasts directly from Ironman at almost 500% power, took a blast from Odin's spear. Took a shot from Hulk with the only noticeable effect being a slightly bloody nose, and he crashed into the ground with enough force to cause a decent sized impact on the ground.

Versatility: Really Thor can make Tornadoes, summon lightning, his hammer can return to his hand, and fly. Thor clearly has the better versatility options and all are combat useful.

Thor clearly outclasses Zeus in most of the categories with Zeus' only advantage coming from Speed.

Don't see where you've pointed it out.

Clearly PIS. You cannot dismiss Ares' feat however you want to spin it. Thor only moves at human speed. We know this because he is played by Hemsworth, a human, and no speed special effects were ever applied. He'd be like a statue to Zeus.

Blocking Hulk really isn't quantifiable. Crushing Ironman's armor was impressive, but again we don't know Zeus couldn't replicate it.
Columns/Legs, same thing. If you watch the scene they are really thick. I don't see Thor doing it, although we may disagree on that.

Yes it does. The gods easily sent Titans flying, too. Zeus sent Ares through a thick stone wall. Punching through someone requires significant speed. Force = mxa. Lets assume their strength levels aren't leagues apart. But Zeus' speed is, that means his striking force is much higher.

Bi-frost explosion = ???

Ironman's blast, not too impressed (depends how you look at it, I really don't see the blast killing/hurting Thor for plot's sake).

Odin's spear blast is a strong feat, I'll give you that even though it feels really inconsistent.

I picked Poseidon's feat for a reason - Thor was afraid he was going to die when he fell from the Hellicarrier. Poseidon jumped from orbit, another walk in the park.

Yes we know all about Thor's powers, mainly the lightning and variations of moving the hammer. What I meant was Zeus clearly had a greater range powers. An example is making a magical whip from fire. I don't believe he is limited to those, and it would be strange to argue otherwise. Either way, I agree the ones shown aren't combat useful (although the whip would be).

No he doesn't.

Even with your position, Zeus' speed gives him 10/10.

Hmm very interesting arguments.
I do think Zeus is too fast for Thor.
