You see one could read this and take it to mean you are suggesting Thor could legitimately react to people like the Flash. I don't think that is a road we should go down.
I'd rather say he is indeed superhumanly fast, but he can't really hang with the "best" in the industry, who would run circles around him.

It depends on which thor and which tactic is being used
I'm talking about the normal Thor we've had for 50+ years, who really isn't reacting to high end speedsters.
If you want to say Thor when he's under warrior madness or some other kind of amp has increased speed that is a completely different thing.
Basically in other words: If Wally West wanted to blitz Thor there would be absolutely nothing the guy could do to stop it.
Thor is superhumanly fast.
But in the same way that Wolverine or Spiderman are, just somewhat less.
That's Marvel's own opinion on where his physical speed is.
Quicksilver was shown to be easily faster than Thor's lightning, taunting that lightning is something that he has been dodging since he was a teen.
Obviously Thor himself is slower than his own lightning.
You can't have super speed 'reactions' without being super fast period. That's a complete contradiction.
That argument for Thor is like saying his muscles can only move super fast in a fight, but moves thousands of times slower if he tries to use those same muscles to run.
I would say Thor is hilariously faster then Wolverine at the very least. Thor's own speed is in a weird category. He's not a high end speedster, he's not exactly a low end bullet timer either.
I mean since Quicksilver is mentioned, I think even he has better reaction feats then Thor. Quicksilver has blitzed entire groups of heroes at once(one of which included Spiderman)
As far as physical speed feats, I can't really think of anything he's done better than batting away bullets or catching a tank shell.
I remember he built a small tower in a short time once, it was like a silver age era story, but even that wasn't in like a split second, they made it sound like it took him minutes to do at least.

It just depends. Marvel doesnt have heralds who blitz. They just don't atleast not like dc does. Now a bullrush? Sure. But an all out blitz? I've yet to see a scan of anyone in marvel doing it let alone countering it.
Well, by feats he should be hilariously faster than Quicksilver but comics. So why would you give somebody an axe or edged weapon against a person who can regenerate from blood? Whats the point? He could flood the area with lightning I suppose, if the guy regenerates like that, then nobody, not Thor,Hulk,Thanos, Superman, or anybody is going to be able to beat him with an axe. Thats kinda silly.
It doesent matter as Thor will get hit more times than he lands like all of his fights ,but he is more powerful..
It doesent matter, anytime you make a matchup where the only way for combatants to win is through physical means, but one combatant has super high end regen. It is a pointless match.
Any hulk vs Death seed sentry/or instant regen character or supes vs. Dss is just dumb because no matternhow strong they get, even if they splatter him with every hit is completely pointless. they instantly reform. And if a character only has physical means to put them down whatsbthe point? You know whose gonna eventually win.
