Thor in IW undoubtedly had the top tier mainstream comic book movie strength feat until Captain Marvel came along. She is the only challenger to Hemsworth's star forging feats. Don't know why anyone is questioning IW Thor at this point.
Whether he was out of his prime due to being fat or it made no difference having a massive beer and skittles gut in Endgame, Thanos whipped the tar out of him regardless. And yes, Stark and Thor's tactics were questionable to me, but it goes back to how this fight plays out: if the DC trio tries to duke it out with weapons and fisticuffs, things don't look too good unless Billy is strong enough to box with Thanos. Shazam is the wildcard, as we've seen how Aquaman and Wonder Woman struggle against the big bad 9 foot tall supervillain types in Steppenwolf.
Originally posted by NotAllThatEvilWe see just a normal iron man suit was not good enough. He had to create an even bigger suit that hulk was ripping apart mid combat. Both that set of armor and hulk are a lot stronger and more impressive than BM and AM.
So showing aquaman winning against black manta is a bad showing because it's just a guy in a super suit, but hulk getting punched out by iron man is fine I guess
Thor has his confidence back pre Thanos fight confirmed in the commentary of the film. When Thanos came back he emerged with that sense of heroic purpose fixated on stopping him.

Ya agreed, I mean Aquaman has the sub lifting feat, getting hit with a 203 grenade round to no ill effect besides giving a comic relief "Ow", and taking a small island-busting blast to the chest from BM's suit. And falling out of a plane and being just fine.
