Didn't much care for how Thor lost tbh. "yeah you sure were tough. even if I caught you're mystic war hammer and then KO'd you while mocking you."-Clark Kent
I guess Thor got the Round 1 win seeing as how Superman needed Manhunter to hold Thor off long enough for him to get back into the fight. But Superman being in more or less good shape after he did recover makes it hard to call it a definitive win. More like a bone being thrown out to Thor fans.
Anyways a mini rant there. I don't mind Superman beating Thor. They are in the same class. Should've been more of a fight though and tons more epic.
What? It was a cheapsot and according to narration he recovered in just a few moments. How does getting punched by superman and manjobber who was struggling with Hank pym in the same issue constitutes as a win to thor is beyond me. I agree with the last part, it should've been more epic.
dont see how it was a cheapshot. Thor declares in his usual fashion that he has had enough and while directly infront of superman flings mjolnir at him. on top of that he got
everyones attention initially by summining a storm. That was not a cheapshot.
Superman was down for a bit if I remember right. He got smashed, then the scene goes to metron and the grandmaster having a conversation, during which Diana rallies the league and the two teams rush one another. Superman got into the fight later and helped manhunter tag team thir. But like I said it was more of a bone bone being thrown. it wasnt nearly as legit win as supermans of course.
I dont recall manhunter having any sort of trouble. He was phasing through pyms attacks then got bored and proceeded to one shot him.
Not really, kal was giving cap a warning then thor started to whirl mjolnir and attacked superman from a side. It was the last page of issue 1, issue 2 starts with narration saying that "just a moment ago thor sent superman through a building" and we see superman and j'onn punching thor. Superman wasn't even dazed by that attack, how's that a win for thor? Yes manjobber was having trouble with pym while T'challa claimed the prize they were seeking. You definitely read a different comic than me.
The writer himself disagrees with you but you pick and choose which Superman quotes to take literally so this is the norm for you. What's funny is the same arc you say this counts but wait don't look at this Superman didn't mean it. LOL.
If Kal is so stupid that he ignores an angry threatening storm god who just got everyone's attention seeing as how he summoned a storm all, it still wouldn't be a cheap shot. It would be Kal being an idiot. Which he is not, nor was he being one at the time. He saw Thor and I think its more than obvious that it wasn't a cheap-shot. Saying it was sounds like a good deal of reaching.
Well I can't argue with that. The scan after Thor puts Superman through the building is Kal on his back then slowly getting to his knees while still crackling with energy. Then the two teams collide and Kal is not in the silhouette. But the scan says "moments" so I'm going to assume he wasn't down for as long as I thought unfortunately. At least not enough to constitute a win. Seeing as how characters get smashed all the time and then get back up for the fight. I concede that point. THAT SAID. Of course Superman was hurt/dazed. Thats why he ddint get right back up into the fight.
^thats what happened a moment after Thor attacked Superman.
Yeah, no he wasn't. I really wish I had the scans to show you. Manhunter was never hit then proceeded to one shot Pym with a mental bolt. If you think thats trouble then our definitions are very much different.
But Bizarro was in Superman body and used Superman strength and punched at Bizarro/Supes and he tanked it. Superman was capable of using Bizarro body better than he could and he Superman is also familiar with his own body. Why wouldn't he know if Bizzaro was stronger or not?
