No. Ultron's machine was designed to hold the rock together as it launched and then dropped into the earth. Nothing more. Thor's attack is what destroyed it. And Thor's other lighting feats are more impressive than Zod's anyways. Zod's is good; for sure. But still not as strong as Thor's and CERTAINLY not as varied.

What durability feat is that?

So has the bleeding stopped? Are you officially out of hiding?

Sorry, but you're wrong. They (Thor and Tony) overloaded the machine and used its own energies to destroy the landmass; this was the plot.

edit:

You can watch that scene where Tony explains it for yourself, but here's the MCU wikia breakdown:

"As the landmass plummets, Iron Man and Thor overload Ultron's machine and shatter the city into rubble, which falls safely into a lake."

Oh, and what exactly overloads it? The amount of power and lightning Thor brings down on that city is the main factor here. Let's say that we (generously) give Tony even 50% of the credit. It's still more impressive than anything HV has done so far.

Dude, come on. Tony and Thor overloaded the machine and the machine exploding is what destroyed the landmass, this was the plot. You're giving a "city busting" feat to Thor that isn't his, it was the machine's.

eg Would you say a small detonator is the same as multiple sticks of TNT because the detonator is what caused the TNT to explode and take down a building? You wouldn't.

No, I won't "come on" because you want to give Ultron's machine all the credit for a scene which was clearly designed to give Thor and Iron man a heroic and powerful moment. Many times the "plot" as you like to say, called for power, Thor delivered it. Who brought Vision to life? Thor. Thor made Iron man 400% more powerful with a single lightning attack. Thor destroyed and entire section of Jotunheim with a single strike. He destroyed a fleet of Chitauri. Thor has a ton of feats. Superman and Zod have a couple. We'll see, as I said, more on this as BvS releases.

Just weird now. Thor and IM were the heroes, they're the ones that stayed behind to destroy the machine and save humanity.

But the plot as IM explains is that if they overload the machine, the resulting explosion will destroy the landmass. The machine destroyed the landmass; they used something that was going to kill off humanity to save it.

What was going to kill humanity was the impact of a city-sized asteroid slamming into the earth at that height/velocity.

Ultron's machine was simply built to hold the landmass together as it also lifted and flew it into the atmosphere. Once it got high enough, it was basically a dead weight given free fall. Iron man charged the main shaft so that Thor could overload it and cause a mass explosion. THEY destroyed the city. Not Ultron. Nice that dc guys like you try your best to take away any credible feats any chance you get though. thought that was above you rob.

Trying to have a normal conversation, can you stop with the silly baseless attacks because you happened to misinterpret a scene? It's really not a big deal; I'm not making it one.

They overloaded the machine, the resulting explosion (ie machine exploding like a bomb) destroyed the landmass, this was literally the plot. Giving Thor and/or Tony the ability/feat to destroy a city because they used something else to do so is flawed; it's not like this ability is standard to either of them. You're giving Thor and possibly Tony feats they do not normally show/possess.

(This is an aside as it really doesn't matter to our convo, but the landmass wasn't going to free fall, the machine was going to reverse polarity and then speed the landmass back down, turning it into a humanity killer. Tony explains this as well in the scene)

edit: Look at it this way, do you think Thor could destroy a landmass as we saw without using Ulron's exploding machine?

[b]The energy required to terraform a planet is considerably greater than anything Thor or Hulk have taken or dished out. Also, there was only cars and shit left on the outer rim of the blast. Superman was at the center, in the middle of the flattened crater where buildings and skyscrapers used to be, and was completely unharmed.

Also, we do in fact know how strong his heat vision is. We see the destruction it causes in the trailer. [/B]

Yeah, true. 👆

That beam was on for an awfully long time and hadn't even destroyed a single city, so let's stop with the massive exaggeration of it's hitting power.

The energy is greater true but the destructive power is not. After all, Thor can take out an entire city, the WE didn't. Therefore, Superman surviving that World Engine beam is not quite as impressive as you make it sound like, simply because we can't really quantify what kind of force that beam was generating

You're right about the reversal of the engines; I'd forgot about that. Doesn't change the fact that the machine was not a bomb. It was merely a vessel.

As far as can Thor destroy a city sized land mass? I wouldn't say easily. Based off the Jotunheim feat and the AoU feat though I'd say he could; sure.

It exploded like a bomb after it was overloaded though. My advice would be to re-watch AOU, or at least skip to the Sokovia scene. Tony explains his plan and it's the resulting explosion of the machine that does the landmass in.

I disagree based on the same scenes and that's okay. Thor's not shown that level of output, at least not yet, am expecting his powers to be amped for Ragnarok.

Yes, he has. Maybe not by himself. But Thor in the movies has perhaps the greatest/most powerful feats of any super hero in movies. Watch Thor 1 again. He was pretty much impervious when he wanted to be and HANDLED the Destroyer. His Jotunheim busting feat as well; coupled with the AoU scene that you keep trying to give him 0 credit for 🙄 lead me to believe it's WELL within his powerset.

The only thing we agree on is that he will be more "Thor-like" for Ragnarok.

Don't roll your eyes at me, mister. That was the plot.

For sure, he's seemingly not going to be on Earth or at least not much and the players around him will be heavy hitters, will allow MCU Thor to be more like comic Thor.

Again, I disagree. It was a showcase of Thor's power. Iron man served up the Alley-Oop and Thor dunked it home, period

Thor 1 is still his best overall showing to date. He has some really good feats across all movies though.

Rob, I didn't know you were this patient.

Lol.

Smallville superman through a planet. I think he has the best feat. Or Donners superman turning back time.
