So he literally did it right there on screen.That's what the machine did, it harnesses the power of a star and concentrates it into a beam. Thor stood in front of that beam and withstood billions of tons of matter pelting him and a lot if heat hitting him.
The only people who really hate the feat are DC fans. Everyone else takes it for what it is. The first space cheese feat in the MCU.
....Etri's words aren't to be taken literal.
For instance, Thor was being hit by a part of the beam, the rest was going arround him into the forge. That fact alone proves that he wasn't being hit by all the power of the star.
Secondly, Etri never said that the Star's matter was being drained.
Otherwise, as you claim Thousands upon thousands of tons would be pouring into the ring/forge; it would flood the station. Furthermore, it makes no sense to use matter. They use the star to melt Uru; heat is required for that not matter.
Lastly, if Thor would have been hit by matter, he would have been covered up by sticky material after landing on the station. Yet no residue was left on him.
The beam was energy from the star not matter.
