Cheers.
Not sure why you're explaining the scan to me. The bottom line is Banner stopped the shield agent on her tracks on the notion that Hulk is without a doubt stronger than Thor.
I'm merely pointing out that scans like these and incredible feats of strength other than Hulk are regularly displayed by others that kinda muddy the waters.

That's an eternal debate, doesn't mean who's the strongest out of the two. Seems like you all are doing a lot of picking and choosing to be honest. One instance during fear itself, Thor tells us he never could beat Hulk, then we have this instance that you all tend to ignore or not accept...Hulk/Banner tells us the combined might of the Avengers (including Thor), the fantastic four along with more that they can't stop him and wave them off with a stomp.

Guess what? This was ignored. Then we have Thor admitting he couldn't beat Hulk upfront during fear itself which resulted in him bfring Hulk.

An eternal debate means exactly what it means, it's something that had been debated over the yrs, kinda like what we are doing...doesn't imply on who's stronger. Everything else points to Hulk being stronger, including statements.
Picking and choosing? Are you sure you understand what that means?
And read above where I am in regards to "eternal debate".
And you're still not getting the point of why I brought up the scan. I'm not saying Hulk is the strongest, that's kinda his thing. I'm merely pointing out the fact that Marvel makes you think twice every so often. I mean look at my list in the first place. Smh..
And I'm pretty sure your scan is describing WWH arc. Not sure why you felt the need to include Thor.
And OneAngry hit it on the nail in regards to your fear itself scan. Thor was being somewhat facetious or else he would have not ended his statement with "did you now?"
