A. People referencing strength also mentioned Hancock easily stopping a speeding train, with several carriages, dead in its tracks.
B. Mjolnir amplifies the power of Thor's strikes. Odin literally said, "its power has no equal". If Thor could level multiple city blocks through pure strength, just by hitting the ground, he wouldn't have to bother using his hammer all the time. Not to mention he would be physically stronger than the Hulk, which he isn't.
Thor survived his beating at the hands of Kurse, but he certainly wasn't fighting him off. And Kurse was just outmuscling him. Hancock is stronger based on strength feats(of which Thor has few without Mjolnir), easily durable enough to take hits of his own, and is much faster as well in flight and combat.

No, but when that ground smashing turns into a nuclear like explosion, it will matter. Thats called power. Lol @ it wont matter.You can be twice my size and fast as a cheetah, when I throw a grenade at you, guess what? I win.
A. I said using your logic. So, in that case, lol @ superior strength and speed not mattering.
B. If I was a cheetah that could fly at superspeed, with human level intelligence? No, you don't.

Apparently Hancock is just going to stand there and do nothing while Thor does this. He's not going to try and use his superior speed/flight to attack him while he is open, or fly away, try to avoid it etc. Never mind that this is a team battle, and Thor wouldn't risk unleashing something like that when it has a very good chance of killing some of his own teammates.
