Hulk vs. Thor

[Lord Bravery]

Outside of the Helicarrier i'm struggling to think how Hulk could hit Thor really. He's got at least bullet time reactions and has supersonic flight. Could whip up a tornado to keep Hulk off balance. Continuously strike him with lightning. Thor, if he plays it smart, doesn't even need to make physical contact with Hulk.

But if Hulk gets his hands on him and is fully enraged, i could see him pummelling Thor into unconsciousness.

Where does Thor demonstrate bullet time reactions or supersonic flight? Blocking those laser bolts is not bullet time. We can track the laser bolts with our eyes. And supersonic flight is not the same thing as Thor can fly pretty fast. The closest thing I can think of that remotely can be construed as "supersonic" is in Thor when he flies really fast at the big Frost Giant monster. That wasn't supersonic. He didn't break the sound barrier.

Yeah I wouldn't really call movie Thor a bullet timer. Faster then any ordinary person sure, but then again you could say the same about Hulk.

You can track them because they had tracers. The blasts were moving much, much, much faster than Iron Man flying. When being fired from behind IM they were catching up and hitting him (at the start of that big tracking shot in the final battle). So if we limit IM to flying at around 300 mph there, the blasts must be moving hundreds of mph faster than that.

And wasn't there a sonic boom when Thor flew in his movie?

Somebody who read my post!

The whole bullet-versus-energy blast argument is silly. You absolutely CAN track bullets with your eyes when they are tipped with white phosphorus - that's what a tracer bullet is and that's why they exist.

That said, once we have the blu-ray, we'll be able to at least make a guestimate of the speed of the blasts, by estimating the distance and counting the frames it takes to cross the distance. It won't be perfect - I can positively guarantee that there won't be one iota of consistency between scenes - it'll take the same amount of time to go 50 feet as 500, because it's a movie and not real life.

Y'know. It's funny. Not only did Marvel do a great job of capturing the rivalry that has existed between these two powerhouses for decades, they also managed to portray their fight with enough ambiguity to baffle newcomers to the Avengers franchise as to who would be triumphant in a prolonged brawl between these two as well as long time readers and fans of both characters.

Bravo Marvel.

Yea, it was clever how they had it balanced. Not only does it get newcomers talking about it, which is a good thing as it raises interest. But it keeps both Thor and Hulk fans happy, who as we all know can get a bit passionate about their throw downs.

It is funny when Hulk fans get all cocky though and i just say "Thor would dump Hulk into another dimension before he can even use his strength". This displeases them :P

The sonic boom at least has nothing to do with reaction speed. Though as was mentioned, at best we'll probably have Thor with an inconsistent level of reaction speed.

The problem with Thor is Weve yet to see his limits tested in the two films.

In the Hellicarrier fight, THor was like the calm Bouncer restraining a rowdy patron.

If calm Thor can break even with a blood lusted Hulk, without relying solely on mjolnir, I think he can take him in a real fight.

It's not much of a problem here. We can only go by what he's done. Sure he might be stronger, but we won't know that until we see it.
