Hulk losing to the Hulkbuster doesn't mean Hulk would lose to Thor.It just means IM performed better than Thor did. And before you say Thor was holding back, remember that Tony spent half the fight trying to calm Hulk or rescuing civilians.
Unless you live in a world where electricity causes quakes, then yes, it was the kinetic force. Don't know why that's so surprising, Thor is almost as strong as the Hulk after all. I don't have to prove Iron Man can absorb electrical attacks if he's already done it. It's up to you to prove that the hammer strike's electricity is somehow different from Thor's other lightning.
Oh, really? Then why didn't he use his exotic attacks against Kurse? Might have been a good idea to use lightning or a tornado before getting ass raped by the elf. Or why didn't he use those exotic attacks when Ultron was chocking him out with one arm instead of waiting for the Vision to save him?
Kurse didn't ambush him, Thor tried to ambush him with a hammer toss. Even without the hammer he could still summon his weather powers, but e didn't. Thor's exotic powers aren't always AoE, a few lightning bolts could have been very helpful while Ultron was manhandling him.
Both Tony and the drone can easily evade the tornado, and yes, Tony can absorb the strike as it's not an actual explosion but kinetic force + an electrical discharge. He can absorb the electricity since he's already done it in the past.
What skills? What on-screen skills has he shown? I'm not talking about shitty flips or whatever, just some kind of martial skill. Thor fight no better than brutes like the Hulk, he relies almost entirely on his power.
Strong enough explosions cause tremors, so you'd be wrong. It's easy, his normal lightning attacks don't cause massive explosions. And as per Thor 1, his charged hammer strike caused a massive explosion. Proof. Now it is up to you to prove Iron man can absorb a massive explosion as he has never absorbed an explosion before, so he can't absorb a charged hanmer strike explosion. But, if that is how you wanna play it, let's say the Jontunhem blast was caused by massive kinetic force. 😈
Funny thing is, if the sheer magnitude of the force of that blow was due to Thor's kinetic power, he would crumple Veronica like a tin can even without his lightning, so it looks like you kinda argued yourself into a corner here. 😱
Because (like I've repeated over and over), he got separated from his hammer early on and he was dazed and off balance the whole time as soon as he was ambushed? facepalm Fact is, there are many instances of him going exotic and you just choose to ignore them all right? Rewatch Thor 2. He was flying towards the ship when Kurse took him down as he was chasing after Malekith's ship to keep him from escaping, not attacking Kurse.
Most his charged hammer strikes caused massive aoe damage. Especially against vibranium. And lol at you using a few instances vs the many instances Thor has used his exotics. It looks like lowballing is all you have left as you have no argument beyond that.
You mean the drone that couldn't even avoid a few big rocks thrown at it? It's suddenly gonna start evading massive tornadoes now? Prove it. And Tony in the Hulkbuster armor is gonna have to try and enter the tornado if it wants to engage in melee vs Thor who's at the center of it.
You mean other than taking on a base full of SHIELD agents? Or avoiding Hulk's blows or easily sliding below a thrown fighter wing or deflecting energy blasts with a mallet or when he fought the Destroyer intelligently by turning its energy against it or when he used his flying hammer charge to one shot the giant monster thru its mouth? Or when he keeps outfighting his brother who was nearly keeping up with Cap's agility? But, by all means, let's lowball Thor's fighting skills. After all, that's all you got going for you.
