That would be a good point if the power of Thor's lightning was limited to regular lightning. His lightning has taken out people way more powerful than Arthur.

Even with a regular, non-amped shot?
I'd be curious to see what kinds of people have taken hits and kept going too.
and I thought this Thor was depowered some?

Maneuverability probably. Dude will swim circles and shiet. Lol.
At least the only thing i can come up with.

Yeah, put it there so Aquaman is allowed a bit of maneuvering room.
That will be helpful for running away? Not really sure lol.
And we saw recently in Aaron's run that Thor can fight underwater without any hindrance, although that was with Mjolnir. Although he did it again in the Thor Annual, but it wasn't much and not against beings anywhere as agile as Arthur.

Yup.
Loki tanked it when he became Worthy and that was specifically attributed to him getting the powers of Thor:
He's lost the extra powers he gained with Mjolnir but he has his weather powers and all his physical capabilities. He's still a solid heavy hitter and hasn't actually lost much stock.

Ah okay. Maybe then.

Aqua has the advantage in both being water, and the speed.Wins in both.
Three feet isn't the ****ing ocean.

Actually I think that's a pretty good comparison, assuming you're talking about pure physicality.The old aquaman couldn't really hang with Supes AT ALL, but now he can take and give a few.
To be fair, Aquaman's always been durable, and pretty strong. He's just not had his strength showcased to this extent before; not since COIE anyway.

I feel his recent push is enough to compete
Compete enough to hurt Thor? Sure. Enough to win, though? Not imo.
He relies more in his physical stats than say, Diana does, and in that he's still a level or two behind Superman imo.

It boosts his stats, yes. That's about it. Arguing that they'd make him beat Thor is another thing entirely.
Unworthy Thor with his axe
Vs
Aquaman with his trident.
Melee combat only. No exotic abilities.
Fight in an arena with 3 feet deep water everywhere.
Round 1. First blood. First to wound opponent wins.
Round 2. To the death.
Going over OP closely,
Unworthy Thor...vs
Melee combat, no exotic abilties
Aqua has a better weapon, fast, has a boost.
To me he wins.

okay, to be fair, I didn't read the op.
He might have a chance, depending on Thor's newer, weaker stats.

Wow I can`t even think of any scenario where Aquaman beats Thor He dosen`t even need the axe.He only needs to clap his hands together once,and Aquaman,his sea horse,his little buddie(can`t even remember his name?)His fish friends would all be ko`d and many miles away.You might as well have Galactus vs Dare Devil!
