Thor vs Palpatine

Thor and Palp have had prep on each other before the battle.

Force users big claim to fame regarding combat reflexes is blocking energy bolts, well Thor is able to do the same thing, difference is that he does it without pre-cog.

Hmmmm, sure its there, but thats a very Old School example, Thor has changed heaps since then, so Im not sure Id go supporting Mjolnir flying around and attacking all on its own, and I certainly wouldnt for movie Mjolnir, personally.

He has only improved over the years. Why would he lose such a simple ability if he's been upgraded since then?

Thor wins this pretty easily with flight and lightning and tornadoes.

You guys need to accept that Palpatine can end this pretty quickly also, he has unpredictable force user speed,
and mastery of the one hitter quitter of sci fi - the lightsaber. He's also a master of storms, and lightning.

So cool fight, but by prediction of margin of error I go with Palps on this one.

Just the smarter killer.

Movie Palpatine is rather slow and not very powerful and lightsabers had a hard time with blast doors, not to mention that Thor's durability was shown to be very high.

Thor is also much stronger and possibly durable enough to take a lightsaber hit.

Thor wins this with any attack he chooses to employ.

What are you talking about? Sidious' speed feat was standing up, igniting his saber, growling, doing an M.Bison Psycho Crusher and then stopping, rearing his saber back, and then stabbing two Jedi before any of them react. I can't point out how incredibly out of context this point of the movie is taken routinely just to establish Sid's street-cred, since Mace put him on his ass with a front kick and virtually no speed, and Yoda outmaneuvered him all over the place. It's pretty much the only time he kicks any ass in the movies except for Luke "I won't use my saber" Skywalker.

Thor would have split him in half with Mjolnir before he had the time to land and then rear back in his stupid stabbing motion.

Unpredictable force user speed? Lol, Palpatine moves like an old man.

Lmao, calling Palpatine a master of storms and lightning in a thread with Thor.

What a bunch of nonsense bro.

Also, Thor's energy durability is massive. Loki stabbed him in the gut with Odin's spear while simultaneously blasting him he was perfectly fine:

Him tanking a lightsaber is not out of the question.

I don't see Thor tanking a lightsaber-strike. However, I also don't see Palps ever landing a lightsaber strike, so the point is moot regardless.

Allankles is using EU feats, methinks.

I think you're right. The 'speed' Palps displayed against Mace(and co.) in the film wasn't nearly as impressive as the novel's description of the same fight. Not even close.

And since the film is all we can use here, the feeble old man that Mace thrashed certainly isn't blitzing Thor.

Thor wanking needs to stop.

Thor's going to do what Thor does most of the time, he's going to charge in cos he's impatient and try to play smashy with his silly hammer, then he's going to get his ass handed to him by the old decrepit looking man with the glowstick more times than naught.

Quoted to take out of context in the future.

Like he did against the Frost giants where he threw the hammer, used a AOE charged hammer strike or the giant monster where he flew through it's head or Iron-man where he threw his hammer and used lighting or the Destroyer where he threw his hammer, used a tornado and forced it's energy beam back into it, or against Loki where he used lightning or against the aliens where he used lightning and threw his hammer.

Yea...all movie Thor does is try and slug it out....good call 🙄
