3. Kurse never bloodied Thor, Hulk did back on Saakar.
4. Kurse actually swayed from Thor's blows, but as I've said, he seems to have some sort of outer shell. He doesn't seem able to feel pain.
We assume all characters are using their full strength unless there is strong evidence that they were not. That's facts.
The leviathan feat is not impressive as I calculated before. It would be if Hulk stopped it COMPLETELY (he didn't as its center of gravity was still going forward) and stopped it dead in its tracks (he didn't as it took quite a distance). The initial punch did almost nothing. It was through the bracing through the concrete that slowed it down.
And Hulk didn't budge Surtur after the first hits, proving either movie inconsistency or that Hulk's weight had everything to do with it.
If Movie inconsistency then this leads to your argument about Hela and Mjolnir. If weight, then it's a terrible feat.
But Kurse didn't budge (which has nothing to do with being hurt).
But don't forget Kurse bloodied Thor in a few blows (Hulk didn't on Sakaar).
Kurse sent Thor away weaker with a significantly weaker type of attack (a backhand) than Hulk did using much stronger type of attacks (weapons, kicks, uppercuts, etc).
