Rune King Thor vs. Current Thor

Better get ready for the Fortnite mini-series, Rage vin

Who cares? A few panels later, he overpowers and defeats Loki.

Also, just being able to drain Mangog shows how incredibly powerful Loki was.

I was actually working my way to that very point. Invalidations have been swarming the Mangog showing for pages after all, and I did mention Loki earlier on in this thread, only to be ignored and goal posts moved to handbook entries, and feats that took place 50 plus years ago.

Sure.

I'm just pointing out that b!tchgog was weakened, something that always seems to get ignored by thorbags.

It's right there on panel. Maybe you can argue his strength wasn't directly proportional to his magic (Which is TECHNICALLY not wrong. Mangog gets his strength from the rage of his exterminated race), but regardless, the Loki thing happened.

Thor CASUALLY ripped his head off with one hand. The difference in strength is ridiculous:

Loki is ridiculously durable at his base and is way more powerful here. That's some crazy strength.

It's not even a purely physical feat.

Unless you're ignoring the whole scene and the glowing runes.

He definitely got his head pulled off with physical force, the Rune passes to his head after the fact to keep it alive.

How do you explain then...

1) his ponytail not getting ripped off first?

2) his neck stretching like a Looney Tunes character?

3) little to no blood?

Also, fun fact... Loki has survived decapitation before, all on his own:

1. How everything else that should happen in comics but doesn't, happens.

2. It was getting pulled off, it'll stretch a bit.

3. You can see the blood but:

Probably just artist preference.

That isn't much blood either and it's gone soon after.

That's good for him I guess?

And Oeming has obviously done his homework, so he must've known about that.

RKT seemed to be beyond physical confrontation and relied on the runes' mystical powers instead.

Rune magic passed from Thor's hand to Loki's neck wound, whether the purpose was to keep him alive or not. It could be to stop bleeding, to keep his body away, to do all sorts of things. Keeping a decapitated head alive and talking is just the first thing that comes to mind.

That said, I'd need to see some proof that he was using magic to do the pulling. He could have just as easily used the spell from Mangog on Loki or some crap, he chose to grab him and start pulling.

By his f*cking ponytail.

Without holding him with the other hand.

If the ponytail was so tough and so superglued, then why Loki didn't simply get lifted from the ground...?

Even by comics standards, it's dumb.

The only explanation? Magic. Runes' magic, Dambo.

You're asking why there's comic inconsistencies, and the only answer is because there are comic inconsistencies.

Let's assume magic was involved to perform the feat of head pulling off:

- You don't how much of it contributed to strength or how much was used to simply keep Loki stable.

- Thor uses rune magic, but there are no visible runes present on Loki's body when he should by all accounts have runes present if his whole body is being englufed for this to be a magical feat.

Pretty clear it was rune magic, imo.

Right before he owned Mangog with his magic, we see a glowing rune appear on RKT's hand:

Right before he owned one of Loki's monsters with a blast, we see a glowing rune appear on RKT's hand:

And then right before he plucks Loki's head off, we see a glowing rune appear on RKT's hand:

This.
You can see Thor’s hand force Lokis head in a downward motion right before he pulls it off, Indicating physical force was used. The runes just kept Loki alive.

It was made very clear, but thorbags are starving for feats durhulk

Hey, thats true 🤷‍♂️

Hard to say he didn't use something when his hand has the rune every time he acts offensively.

So, you agree it makes perfect sense that the rune magic violated all laws of the material realm, allowing Loki to get beheaded in such (very weird) manner...?

I agree that magic was involved in a way ?

The rest is up to your interpretation i suppose
