Good Ole Silent with the lame troll tactics. Ignore relevant posts while restating his post.
Anyone can do that. It does not make you win the debate though. You have to actually address and rebutt the opponent's arguments. Ignoring and restating is not winning a debate, it's actually losing (and trolling).

This is the post Silent is ignoring. Just wanted to post for all to see.
Does anyone even see any of the support pillars collapsing?
I’m viewing this on an Ipad so it’s hard to see, but @ 3:46 you actually see the surface collapse while the support pillar right under it seems to be pretty much still standing.
In order for anyone to buy the whole “support pillar domino effect” theory, someone will have to provide some support (pardon the pun).
Edit. Of course, let it be known that I AM viewing this on an Ipad and I could have missed it, so if you see it, point it out.

Silent argues that Thor did the feat without compromising the integrity of the platform. The distance between the pillars if fairly large. Meaning, if you are able to damage a small portion of the platform or part of a pillar then a large portion of the the platform will collapse.
Thor did it with the heat of the ligntning bolt.
This lowballing is getting ridiculous.
Is it possible that support pillars were damaged in Thor's attack? Sure, but they were only damaged as a result of Thor's massive attack on the surface. Let's not pretend that Thor somehow specifically targeted the support pillars to collapse the surface. Rather, he wrecked the surface which *possibly could have destroyed support pillars. I say *possible because we don't actually see this in the movie.
Did Thor ruin the structure of the surface? Yes, he did... because that tends to happen when you completely wreck something. Kinda hard to maintain the integral structure of an object when you're busy destroying it.
Was there a snowball effect? Yes there was, obviously, but let's not pretend that all it took for this to happen was a light tap from Thor's hammer. That snowball effect happened because of the massive shockwave the Thor's AOE caused. You can literally see the ice blocks rolling away from him in waves due to his shockwave.
I'm not a structural engineer or anything but anyone who's played with legos and building blocks would know that for a previously stable ceiling structure to collapse down, one would think that the support structure (pillar/column) below it needs to fail FIRST.
As I've pointed out above, you actually see the ceiling collapsing while the support pillar right beneath it is still intact. W/c throws doubt on the whole "collapsing pillar domino effect" theory. At the very least ,it cannot be entirely attributed to the failing support structure.

The whole platform was collapsing as the creature was crawling underneath. It's was highly unstable.
