Then it's magic, if it can't be technology combined with or powered by magic.
Though the latter does make the most sense, at least to me. eg the forging of Mjolnir would be technology; its powers would be magical in nature, as I'm least inclined to believe Mjolnir has some sort of mini propulsion engine inside it.

"Magic" is part of the equation and makes far more sense than just "super science", when everything in Thor and Avengers is factored in, imo.
Don't see why TBH. Just because we can't explain how it works doesn't mean it can't be technology. That's the whole point; to us it is magical.
However, I'd agree that Thor could also have been talking about a fusion of science and magic.
Originally posted by omgchosI actually appreciate that they left the magic and/or technology aspect vague for Thor.
Well since the the thor movie was phoned in IMO, just to have less back story to put in the avengers movie, it stands to reason they would botch the mythology of thor.
If they went with "Asgard is a world of pure magic, patronus! patronus!", Thor would fit less in with the Avengers where we have Iron Man, botched science experiments, super soldiers and invading alien biomechanical aliens.
IMO, Wheedon went on to cement the vagueness with Black Widow saying "these guys are out of legend, they're gods" and Captain America saying "there's only one God, ma'am and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that" (quotes might nt be verbatim, but the message is there)

As I said, it makes more sense to me that it's magic on some level, but I can't without a doubt say "it can't just be pure technology", due to noted vagueness.
It could also be Thor literally saying "in Asgard magic is science and science is magic"; there being no distinction between the two whatsoever.

No questions.Thor + flying + massive tornado + lightning spam = all half-smoke flying Deatheaters are torn and fried. They'd be stupid to start flying, though that's what they'd likely do after failing with the killing curse.
Then there's the other Avengers doing stuff.
Any questions?
Lol, dude, Thor flies nowhere near as fast as a Death Eater. Also, it takes him a moment to summon lightning or do the tornado thing. More than enough time for a Death Eater to apparate behind him and AK him. A to the K, nigga.
Thor is no match for a Death Eater. Besides AK, a Death Eater can simply shrink Thor's armor. Imagine Thor's armor suddenly shrunk to half it's size in the blink of an eye. That, or he is changed into a ferret. See below:
And did I mention Fiendfyre? Yeah, no counter for that. Fiendfyre is controlled by the caster. It cannot be altered or extinguished by any means, not even another wizard (lest it is Dumbledore or Voldemort) and is a conscious being with one goal, to kill who it is assigned to. Bellatrix Lestrange casting Fiendfyre>>>>>>The Avengers.
So, Thor get's AK'd.
Cap gets AK'd.
Hulk gets AK'd or legilimens, or mind raped.
Black Widow and Hawkeye? Lol.
