I'm hoping for an epic feat where Thor kills the demo gorge raaaaa! But I'm sure Thor and Tanarus will throw down in a couple issues. Those shackles broke easily enough when Thor says "No." then the next scene "RAAAAHHH" shattering his restraints, already placing him well above the rest of the lot that are waiting to be eaten. Doubt Thor will be killing the God Eater with his bear hands( albeit given his recent slew of victories over folks that should have owned him, I can't take it off the table). Somehow he will return, get Mjolnir back and likely wreck Tanarus. |

Which foes are you referring to that he recently beat who you think he should have lost to? Excluding SS.

Which foes are you referring to that he recently beat who you think he should have lost to? Excluding SS. Wins on Glory and the Serpent really being the two glaring ones that come to mind. Now don't get me wrong he was geared up tremendously for his fight with Odin's brother, but he was still wrestling around with someone that was shattering vibranium with his finger tips x being turned into a giant monster serpent, while wounded. Prophecy or not, Thor's win there an impressive one. |

His fight against glory was truly impressive, but I do sort of dismiss his fight with the serpent to an extent. Plus I think it would have been better if he fought him in human form.
I think his victory of worthy hulk and thing were more impressive.

I think his victory of worthy hulk and thing were more impressive. Considering Glory was written out as some sort of abstract character I'd say so. Human form serpent got effortlessly booted by Odin into the ocean, honesty I'm not sure how well he would have done in a straight out confrontation with Thor slugging around the Odin-sword, lol. Which one? King Thor without the Odin power beat them both down with his bear hands, his fight against the worthy incarnations seemed to be even less effort with that hammer in tow and that wound in his gut. =P |

Human form Serpent was far more formidable than a giant Serpent who seemingly lost all magical powers and was just a giant fucking target. Human form Serpent shattered Cap's shield and effortlessly BFR'd Thor with a blast in their first encounter. It would have been a far tougher fight.
King Thor lost his arm in that fight but he did beast them up with his bare hands. Thor defeating Worthy Hulk and Worthy Thing at the same time is at least as impressive since those two were far more powerful than the versions King Thor fought. WThing basically killed Rulk and WHulk destroyed everyone else. Regardless, this fight was easily more impressive than his victory over the Serpent in Serpent form. I just rolled my eyes at that fight.

WThing basically killed Rulk and WHulk destroyed everyone else. Regardless, this fight was easily more impressive than his victory over the Serpent in Serpent form. I just rolled my eyes at that fight. All the Serpent did was BFR Thor with the same type of portal Odin sent Thor through at the start of the book to avoid the prophecy that has him getting killed by him. He was indeed snapping Cap's shield with his fingers, but that strength shouldn't have gone away when he turned himself into a giant serpent, if anything, it should have easily been increased significantly. Odin essentially gears out Thor with the same armor he effortlessly booted the Serpent a few Ragnarok cycles before he even had the Odin-Power and a sword that can cleave off the limbs of Celestials. The Serpent isn't likely going to be defending himself well at all against that kind of weaponry in his normal human form. We aren't entirely sure why that arm came off, all we know is King Thor had them both beaten down with brute force alone without the odin power amping him. Worthy Thing never got much of a chance to fight Thor, he got knocked away by a Mjolnir toss and then killed by a Mjolnir return in moments of that fight( which is why Thor should murder Rulk in a fight) and Nul sat there as a punching bag for Thor as he couldn't seemingly hit Thor at all in that fight(which is why Thor should murder the Hulk in a fight=P ). What makes this fight impressive IMO is the fact Thor is wounded by that time/space gash in his gut that inevitably seems to kill him during the Serpent fight. |

The serpent form has zero apparent magical ability and all that strength was seemingly worthless, plus he had no maneuverability. Talk about harder to defend... In serpent form he is a giant target with no defense whatsoever. Thor was just slashing him at will. Poor choice by the serpent to go into that form IMO.
It seems apparent IIRC that Thor had his arm before that fight and after it was over it was gone. That's my take on it but maybe I could look at it again. Thor killed wthing easily with mjolnir obviously, and whulk had a clear fair fight against Thor. The fact that it seems Thor didn't hold back as much as he is normally well known to be doIng, made this doable. It is more impressive as you note because he was significantly wounded at the time. We both know the first thor vs Rulk fight was loeb bullshit, and Thor in an all out fight definitely takes Rulk and hulk.

We both know the first thor vs Rulk fight was loeb bullshit, and Thor in an all out fight definitely takes Rulk and hulk. The transformation itself was quite a light show, as was the magical blasts he was letting out of his mouth that even had Mjolnir getting knocked right out of the fight from the get-go when it was tossed. He was fast enough to grab a hold of Thor and deal some damage to him in the process multiple times, but the Serpent didn't show much for maneuverability to begin with. It's debatable if Thor could even have done any damage to him without the Odin-Sword in the Serpent's new state, Mjolnir clearly wasn't much use. A giant target that mind you was tanking multiple slashes from the Odin Sword, the same attacks in his human form probably would have cut him in half  . If the Serpent actually had something he could have used to defend himself against that weapon he probably could have put up a more interesting fight, but for what he had it seemed like he gave Thor a hell of a lot of hell despite the sword. He did have the arm prior to fighting the both of them, but said arm was already being cradled at the shoulder after Logan seemingly slashed his wrist(didn't make much sense given the same guy was brushing off the Destroyer's blasts without pause after) and we can't be entirely sure of the circumstances that led to it's removal as the fight was off panel, just Thor beating them both senseless with his bare-hands. Angrir didn't take much effort and Nul only got one good hit while Thor, which was because Thor left himself open when he flung himself between the two and tossed his hammer to knock Angrir on his rear. Outside that he turned Nul into a punching bag that couldn't even score a hit at that last stand off on him when he had Mjolnir in hand. Given this showing, Thor should really hammer down the Hulk family all in one go, if the Hulk hopped on god juice can't do it not sure World Breaker bar being ridiculously enraged can do much better. |

Mighty Thor #10 was pretty damn awesome. I got this feeling reading it like I just wanted to yell....seems like Tho is going to do some bad ass stuff.

Issue #10 was a good one. I marked out when Thor remembered who he was.

LOL, I think I yelled the panel aloud when I was reading it. Lmao pretty sure I did too. Hope you caught some people off guard with that one. Haha it's just one of those random things Thor occasionally does. I can't say I remember him doing it before aside from when he had the Odin Force or Rune Power. But every so often a writer likes to write Thor more along the lines of his true capabilities. |

Just read Mighty Thor #11, that was surprisingly more brutal than I thought it be. Kelda on paper can still come back from that(the girl survived her heart being removed, tis but a flesh wound), but boy that did not look pleasant.
Hiemdall is kicking all sorts of !@#. And a Silver Surfer and Loki team-up would be pretty cool for the world of Thor.

I haven't read #11 yet but I'll get back as soon as I do. Sounds good.

I already read #11 I forgot. When does #12 come out?
And yeah Kelda's little injury was pretty gruesome...I've been waiting for Marvel to actually use her because she seems like a decently powerful character.
Heimdall is whooping Ulik's ass too, that was cool. I'm sure Thor is going to come back and save Heimdall and murder Ulik though.
