Thor was fighting enemies a lot stronger than he had before. It's not that Thor is unimpressive; it's that they are that overwhelming. It's worth noting that Malekith wasn't a big threat in personal combat until he absorbed the Aether, and Kurse was pretty much given a death-sentence so he could pose a significant threat to Thor and co. In the Dark Elf/Asgardian war prelude, we see other Kurse-types being utterly dog-piled by Asgardian warriors and still stood upright.

I saw watched the movie a couple of months ago, and I already forgot most of it, but I don't really remember Thor doing anything impressive aside from destroying Korg or whatever his name was. He was doing well against Malekith, but the elf never gave me the impression that he was a warrior, and he got his ass beat by Kurse.

Absurd.
At least he was still more impressive than Voldemort.

I can understand that. I rewatched it recently since the DVD release, and saw that Thor was still pretty impressive (much more so than his Avengers appearance IMO) but the bar got raised substantially.
At least he was still more impressive than Voldemort.

He has abilities none of these comic book movie characters have shown the ability to deal with. Now get back to the topic.

Except for Dumbledore.
And Voldy doesn't have Superman's powers.
Originally posted by PsychotronThe filmmakers explain he is more powerful than Dumbledore and we literally see it on film. We see him have the upper hand in a fight with Dumbledore despite him wielding the Elder Wand.

He doesn't need them. He has superior powers. He can teleport, fly, mind control others, peer into other people's minds, cast fire, create magical fire creatures, use the unforgivables, etc.
