Hulk's punch stopped in dead in it's tracks. Thor's attacks managed to beat them in push them backwards.
When deciding which attack is more powerful and contained the more force which is more impressive. One shotting one, or one shotting 2-3 along with others while driving them backwards?
The Frost Giants realm was stable enough to support a race of large beings and their cities. So stop trying to make it sound like a light breeze was going to cause it to crumble.
To me it looked like Thor was summoning a very powerful attack and residual energy of it was going into the building.
It really could, because a shot of Mjolnir drawing energy from the building would have made your point clear. Not it summoning the lightning, and then being redirected by the hammer in one large motion.
And the way you tell it, the building contributed to 90% of the power when we see the large bolt channeled directly through the hammer.
mjolnir channels the power...the power comes from the sky
the building stored the power which then channeled through thor (as he was holding onto the building) into mjolnir and directly out against the alien force
im pretty sure without the building, thor's lighting would not be as powerful
There isn't anything in the movies stating Thor weighs more than a normal human being.
Plus we already saw earlier in the film how Thor handles a punch from Hulk. He might get knocked back but it wasn't Earth shattering to him. He was back up and fighting no problem.
Thor was able to do the same to Hulk at some points.
Look Starscream, I agree it was funny as hell to see on screen.
I agree Hulk is physically stronger than Thor. But I would say Thor is still the most powerful person on the team.
Thor took down two of those creature carriers at once with his lightning, at the portal's opening. His ability to summon the lighting & storm is an ability he has even without mjolnir. It just sharpens his aim.

I see what you all are talking about. It does appear as if Thor channeled the lightning through the building. I don't even know why this is still going on when the writer made it pretty clear Hulk was the most powerful on the team. The ending battle did a complete 360 when Hulk showed up.
Idk if it hit him in the face but I think it was apparent bullets do jackshit against him. Also He did take a exploding arrow like a couple of inches from his face (then the ship he was on exploded around him and he just kinda brushed himself off).
Even if we accept that the building doubled the lightning's power, The feat still shows Thor is most powerful, as the attack did more than twice the damage.
However, I believe Thor was using the building to get a good view of the enemies and that the building just soaked up the excess energy.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
It was a sucker punch, but it was a funny one. Just goes to show that even though they are teammates, Hulk considers their power rivalry to be ongoing, in a humourous way. Maybe Thor even laughed when he pulled himself up, recognizing the playfulness of it all in the middle of this huge battle. He gets that kind of comradeship, where he's from.
And it did make for a parallel moment from earlier, when Thor suddenly swats Tony away while Cap is trying to make peace with them in the forest. Tony finally got shut up for a minute.

They don't seem to. For what it's worth, Thor is seen rolling over away from the fighter jet's bullets on the Hellcarrier, as it was attacking Hulk (who was taking them, and then jumped towards the attacker)

I'm still laughing at bringing up the lightning attack displayed against the alien ships as something that Thor would be able to summon under normal circumstances (ie. him not positioning himself on top of a building's peak, which was specifically shown to be charged by the lightning, after Thor took seconds to summon it all), much less mid-fight against an opponent that specifically attacks him continuously. Anybody thinking that the blatant location choice and specifical building charge had nothing to do with the potency of the attack is retarded - and for a movie that bathes in simplicity, that's quite the achievement.

It doesnt show that he is the most powerful, it shows that he is the most versatile. Hulk one shotted one without even being in a full rage with his fist and ripped through Loki.
Why would he even land on the building when he could have stayed in flight and pulled the same ft (if it was within his ability to do so)?
Yes, and like I said, Thor redirected the large bolt of lightning in one big motion. At the very least, Mjolnir was the main conductor and the majority of the damage he did would have been possible even if the building amplified his attack: The lightning came from the sky, through the hammer and into the aliens. There was however excessive energy that traveled into the building and was there for the remainder of the scene.
If the building contributed by allowing Thor to store energy, I think it'd be going too far to argue it made it much more powerful like you said.
I wonder how much a charged Mjolnir hit would affect the Hulk.
