You've taken your meta knowledge of the character and constructed an argument to undermine any feats that allow you to apply that meta knowledge ignoring context and writer's intent. 🙄Once again though the same logic could be used for Superman and his strength feats really just being flying feats.
I'm just going to address your posts in general off memory, so if there's anything specific I didn't address but you want me to, feel free to point me to it.
I understand the analogy you're trying to argue, but it's utterly flawed. You really think writers always intend it to be he hits no harder with Mjolnir so they're just as valid as a fist fight? You actually tried arguing because Superman can still possibly be using his flight even if we don't see it. You don't see that as an utterly ridiculous nitpick compared to wanting to see Thor striking without Mjolnir?
Let's even compare the flying when he strikes argument. While the flight itself is argued to add to the power, he would still have to be strong enough so his arms stay straight on impact. And unless you argue what only Byrne really went into, any lifting feat while flying would still require the strength to hold it, unless you're arguing he's just holding it on his back and physically is completely overwhelmed and his flight does it all.
Thor is hitting with a virtually indestructible hammer that's got various enchantments. What justification other than "writer's intent," which would have to be proven or at least supported, can you make to argue it's still valid to show him striking with Mjolnir as his normal striking power?
I think it says something in one topic a while back where it was asked for Thor winning hand-to-hand fights without Mjolnir, how most if not all included Mjolnir to some degree.
As for you've never seen Superman nitpicked to the degree you see Thor, how long have you been inactive?
