Of course it counts as destroying a planet but, as far as discerning the physical strength of Beta Ray Bill, no, it does not. It's a erroneous, gross simplification to say that he is "strong enough to destroy a planet".If I'm flying at mach 1 and hitting Brock Lesnar in the face, I will knock him out in one punch, undoubtedly.
If I'm standing still, I cannot do that.
Can I say I'm strong enough to KO Brock Lesnar in one punch?
Like I said, don't play dumb.
I was unaware that you could fly at mach 1 under your own power. Do you come out uninjured when you crash into things as well?
Considering it is completely within your own power to fly at mach 1, then there's no reason to make a distinction between strength and speed.
Beta destroyed a planet easily with said speed. Thor was shattering worlds without Brock Lesnar KO speed. It was purely attributed to speed, and the extra hammer hit right before impact was unneeded according to you?
Hell, it even said they were shaking the universe with their battle. Must have been some speed.
Though I don't get the separation either considering at no point in time in this thread, or anything I said would limit Thor to have no flight at this time. Seems you're making up strict Phildo guidelines and expecting everyone else to follow them.

Good point though.

Blind?
Which was immediately followed by Thor unleashing a ton of lightning to fix the moon.
He did the same thing when he absorbed the Sword, was jumping through the air prior to an attack, getting tortured, etc.
There was more going on there than purely physical strength. Unless you think pushing the moon back together is hard, but blasting lightning all over the moon to miraculously heal it is easy.
Though, speaking of blind, this is the exact thing you're trying to divert attention from:
Which was without using mach 1 Brock Lesnar knocking out powers.
Either way, Thor can destroy planets with speed and just standing still. I'm glad we got that settled. 👆
Though I'm sure we could get into Thor's hammer hits vs Gladiator's punches to see who comes out on top, and come to the conclusion that even if he wasn't shattering worlds literally in comics, he should be more than capable of.
Which was my point before you started ignoring proof. Just because one can do one or the other, it doesn't seem to matter much in impressiveness inside of comics.
But yes, tell me more of why nothing Thor does in comics counts. That probably has an underlying point in it somewhere.
