Ok... let's not exaggarate. Thor threw an axe and Apocalypse easily caught with his reflexes. Only why Thor had any success was because Apocalypse wasn't aware that Thor magically enhanced his weapon. If he was aware, Apocalypse would crush him again (he could also take an axe from him).
Apocalypse literally had the power to kill Thor with a headbutt, to break him. He was out of Thor league.
And why are you bringing this up... would MM bypass his defenses also? 🙂
Apocalypse would tear him apart.

Like Mshinu mentioned it was not 616 Apocalypse.
And when he shook off Black Bolt's whisper (as mentioned in the narration), he was amped up by the inhumans.
Because Prince Thor was a beast in his own right (God Butcher Arc displays that). He lacked Mjolnir, experience, and discipline like his Modern self, but he had the mentality of a savage warrior and the strength and ferocity to take on high end threats without fear. At least that is why I was impressed. Initially Apoc sonned a featless Thor without a context and then it was shown that Prince Thor was very capable, but outclassed.

Apoc restrained Hulk, remember.

Sandman has restrained Hulk by the same tactic. Heck PAD had punisher restrain Tiger Shark by some ropes. Restraining someone from behind with cables isn't necessarily a strength feat and Thor could've easily replicate that feat under PAD.
He did it with one hand.
Against someone like Hulk, all Thorina can do is get her ass whooped. And that's on a good day.
Those were chains, not ropes btw 😛 Fail is strong in TS, unfortunately. He even lost to Gargan 🙁
The problem is the recent push in Marvel for Apocalypse to raise his stock as a team threat.
Ever since Messiah War, with the revelation that victories over him being temporary wins over a weakened Apocalypse raises questions. If this is Poccy who can walk down Exodus, or Stryfe. Than the Martian has his plate full here.

Thor has never tried to restrain hulk in that way, if Apoc tried to slug it out with hulk he would be reduced to scraps.
