Janus you're ignoring that the weapon is Svartalalf tech and as such is some of the most advanced stuff we see in the movies. Asgardians, technological peers of the dark elves, make spears that shoot energy beams and a hammer that can, in the hands of Thor, create shockwaves, absorb high amounts of kinetic and electrical/heat energy, and survive rapid entry/renentry into earth's atmosphere. In fact, I was kind of surprised at how Thor was basically commanding his hammer to go into space to meet up with him. That's a durable little weapon.
Point being that Kurse has some good durability. The enchanted asgardian prison guard sword failed to penetrate his shouler, possibly getting stuck on his armor. He backhands Mjolnir, which in itself is considerable; Mjolnir is strong enough to cause shockwaves on impact, makes paste out of most foes, and split the Destroyer handily enough in the first film. The implication is that either the condition of being Kursed or the armor makes him more durable than Thor. And Thor/Loki already no sell bullets and can withstand thrashings from Hulk without death/paralysis.
Also Blax, your love for Hulk blinds you. I realize a half naked white man is too much for you sometimes, but you must restrain yourself.
"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
Where did it say that he was only enchanted against Asgardian weapons and magic? Considering that Thor and Loki seem bulletproof, I do think being enchanted against "asgardian weapons and magic" makes you extremely durable even against wordly weapons.
Plus as far as we saw in TIH and Avengers, Hulk does get stronger but he doesn't do it quickly. It takes him quite a while to move to a different level of strength, mostly we seldom see him change strength actually. So Hulk "quickly" growing stronger against Kurse has no actual proof.
Hulk takes this. You Thor-anything fanboys are hilarious.
A bit of pointy metal wielded by Loki (who is ridiculously and hilariously weaker than Hulk) went right through Kurse, Hulk will literally tear him into pieces.
IIRC Malkeith states that "The Kursed" will be immune to Asgardian weapons and magic. Several times, at that. Stupid or not, that's what it was.
And wrong on the TIH point too, as it was Sterns' Hulkblood that Blonsky got shot up with, in order to become the powerful Abomination of the final confrontation.
That was also the reason why Banner was Banner at that point, the Hulk energies had been drained from him. When he jumped out of the heli-carrier, at that point they weren't sure that he would even be able to initiate a transformation. Whether there was any Hulk left in him or not.
So, no, not a theory, simply a good and close reading of what the film was saying.
A weakened Hulk fought an Abomination that was essentially just using his own power. And he eventually got angry enough to over power him, breaking his grip once Abomination threatened the safety of Betty.
Thor != Hulk. The hammer seems to be an equalizer, but really Thor wasn't outclassed in H2H either.
Thor < Kurse. Kurse did not care if Thor had his hammer or not. He just beat the stuffing out of him.
If that benchmark is fairly accurate, and I don't see any reason to second guess it based on context, Kurse < Hulk. Unless there's some very specific aspect of Hulk's power that fails against Thor but would obliterate Kurse.
Instead of mildly disguised jabs, why not attack my argument and point out the 'lack of logic'?
Cos last I checked, Loki easily stabbed through Kurse with a bit of elven scrap metal(or was it an elven sword?); Hulk is far more powerful than Loki and isn't Asgardian made
Also, I don't understand why [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Loki being able to stab Kurse means anything in a fight with Hulk? Is Hulk going to get a Dark Elf blade and wield it against Kurse? No, he's going to hit and punch Kurse, and we saw how that worked out for Thor.
Also, Loki stabbed Kurse and it accomplished nothing at all. Abomination piercing Hulk not nearly as deep seemed to hurt him a lot more.
Look around, address the points already made by me and others. Then come back to me with this comment. Your blind assertions here have been addressed, whether or not that's acceptable to your worldview.
A 12 yr old kid is hilariously weaker than me, that doesn't mean he doesn't have the strength to put a knife through my chest.
You can't claim that Hulk is immune to getting stabbed by magical asgardian/elven weapons simply because Hulk has never tried getting stabbed by one of them.
The only Asgardian weapon Hulk ever faced was Mjolnir, and Mjolnir hurt him far more than it hurt Kurse.
...Mjolnir staggered Hulk by a sucker punch from Thor. He managed to get up just fine and keep after, and from what I remember, never really hesitated from a hit by it again the rest of their scuffle on the helicarrier.
