Avengers vs Pacific Rim

Thor can keep lightning spamming Tony

I don't believe they can tank a nuke. I think the wiki is wrong. Not uncommon for a wiki.

Even if that's true, the weakest Kaiju still tanked an all-out military assault for 6 days. Hulk and Thor have nothing on that.

I wasn't forgetting that, I just don't know how much of an effect an emp blast would have on Starks Arc reactor. It's an element that I assume may be affected by an emp blast but there's nothing to suggest how strong of an affect it may have. I know he doesn't require reactors to live anymore but that energy is the same type of energy that powers his suits and I really doubt that an EMP blast would permanently shut his suits down. Like I said before if Start has no prep time an only access to one suit then the Avengers don't have a chance. If the Avengers have time to develop a strategy then I think they have an incredible chance of winning.

EMP's destroy electronics and circuits and shit. The power source is not relevant.

Thor's power output seen when he killed the Destroyer or when he destroyed the Bifrost bridge would pretty much require a nuclear bomb to be comparable, to be honest.

Eh?

He also sent a tidal wave of rock when hitting the ground in Thor

Where exactly are you getting these estimates?

Wow. That's impressive. If only modern day weapons could do something like that.

The bifrost's bridge channels the power to raze a world through it with no issue.

Thor smashed it.

Nuke level is the lowest end estimate.

Uh, not at all. Just because a certain an object can withstand a certain type of energy doesn't mean it can withstand large physical force.

A wire, for example, can channel vast amounts of electricity but a man can tear it in two easily enough.

The bifrost doesn't channel electricity. It channels energy which has a very visible destructive effect when unleashed.

Your analogy was stupid. 👆

The point is it channels energy which powers that bifrost not physical force.

Ultimately, there is no reason to believe it requires nuclear level force to destroy the bridge.

"In physics, a force is any influence that causes an object to undergo a certain change, either concerning its movement, direction, or geometrical construction."

Whether it's achieved with a big cosmic gun or a hammer is entirely arbitrary.

So instead of addressing the argument you nit-pick word choice?

I'll try to be more clear for you. Just because the bridge can withstand vast amounts magic energy doesn't mean it can withstand vast amounts of kinetic energy.

Your argument is hinged on nonsensical assumptions that have no basis in fact or fiction. "Nitpick"? There is exactly no reason why we should assume the hammer for some reason affects the bridge differently than the giant death beam that destroys worlds.

Uh, no. It's based on a little something called material properties.

Sure there is. The two are entirely different.

Based on?

I haven't seen Pacific rim, but Thor's hammer is both the strongest substance in the universe and magically enchanted. I may be wrong, but I think it should be able to destroy robots.

Electricity is energy. His analogy is sound. We have absolutely no idea what kind of power it would take to destroy the Bifrost.

He's not fighting the robots.

We do know that a dark elf ship crashed on the bifrost and didn't even dent it.

That's nice. Still not exactly nuke level.
