Captain Marvel (MCU) vs. the Justice League (DCEU)

[greatmetropolitan]

I absolutely am viewing the neutron star feat as SMvFL, as it's a huge outlier for Thor. As for him wrecking a city in the first film, I'll have to check that out. At least to see what the definition of city is here. Thor hasn't shown city destroying capability in any other movie so that would also come under SMvFL. Sokovia has a ton of caveats on it.

I'll look at the Thor wakanda scene again too,as I don't remember him physically wrecking a ship the size of the one Carol easily took out. Nor does Thor have a strength feat like Carol's rocket scene.

It didn't happen.

He was literally never in a city in his first movie...

Again, he didn't.

Towards the end of the battle, he was flying around smashing Stormbreaker into shit, but when it was hitting those ships it was just causing explosions locally within them. Never wrecked them entirely (edit: I mean, it wrecked them to the point that they "no longer functioned", but it didn't obliterate them or anything like that).

That's what I thought. Glad my memory isn't going! The only places Thor was in the first film were Asgard, the Ice Giants home base and the little town he landed in after being depowered. I might have wrecked a chunk of the ice giants' place, but it was hardly devastated and it was nowhere near city sized.

[Captain Morgan]

For the sake of discussion, let's say the Thor/Neutron Star feat was an outlier. What are Thor's high-end durability feats?

Various examples of taking abuse from Hulk with minimal damage would probably be the best. A lot of others have qualifiers. He was on a floating city when it blew up but the force of the explosion was going directly away from him and it seemed to knock him out. He was falling at terminal velocity but managed to get air born and redirecting the last second which seems to have taken a little of!the force out of it. (As I recall it cut away after impact so it isn't clear how dazed it left him or whatever.)

He's also survived in the vacuum of space. Could!be forgetting some others.

[KJS]

Kurse - who, remember, was deflecting Mjonir when it was launched at him with some force, and threw a massive boulder 100 feet across Svartalfheim - was standing above a prone Thor, smashing him repeatedly as he lay on the floor. Thor suffered no lasting damage from that.

[Captain Morgan]

Right, Kurse. That's what I was forgetting. I feel like one of the big differences between the good Marvel movies and the bad ones for me is the heroes actually seem to get injured in the good ones.

[The Arbiter]

Thor was actually bleeding from Kurse.

As for the "Thor destroyed a city!" comments, that's just not an accurate way of looking at it. He hit some giants with a fairly generic AoE and it had the tertiary effect of destabilizing an ice shelf that then collapsed domino style for a bit.

The star feat has some many problems also, but OP has clarified so we dont need to go down that road

[KJS]

Thor was actually bleeding from Kurse.

And from Hulk. And from Thanos. But "no lasting damage" were my words. He was fine literally seconds after.

[Dark Soul # 7]

Yeah, but that’s not how they do these things. One scene segues into the next movie. Like the end of Ragnarok segueing into the start of Infinity War.

But then there's also examples like the first Ant-man movie which showed Cap and Falcon finding Bucky. That turned out to be a scene that took place in the middle of Winter Soldier.

I'm thinking that'll be the case here as well.

[The Arbiter]

Fine is one way of looking at it. Here's my problem with the "lasting damage" comments.

In /real/ (MMA) combat situations, people get pounded on and bloodied up reeeaaally badly sometimes but then have no "lasting damage" the second the fight is over. Frankie Edgar vs Gray Maynard as an example. Frankie got dropped FOUR times with blood pouring out of his nose. With a 60 second break between rounds he suddenly wasn't bleeding anymore (noses are weird like that) and was totally coherent.

By your standards, the brutal beating he recieved caused no real lasting damage.

My issue with this is that the statement feels like it invalidates the damage inflicted as perhaps less serious than it appears. But if the round hadn't stopped and given Frankie that 60 seconds, Gray could very likely have MURDERED the guy. And that is serious lasting damage indeed.

Put another way, do you feel Kurse's blows were ultimately incapable of ending Thor's life had he not been interrupted? Or do you think if he was left to keep pounding, Thor would have died?

[TheLastDalek]

I can't help but feel people are overseling Carol's feats a little bit. She's certainly very powerful (especially by MCU standards), but I don't see her as being above Stormbreaker Thor or IG Thanos.

I also think the whole Ronan ordered his entire fleet to evacuate bit, is kind of making things sound more impressive than they are because said fleet consisted of three bombers (one of which was destroyed) and a few fighters.

Her most impressive feats were tossing the missile and flying through one of Ronan's ships.

I know we don't go by writer statements but it does sound like they are setting her up to be the most powerful super being by far. Remains to be seen how far they will take it and if it will obvious or not.

Those are good feats. Thanks for replying.

If I recall correctly, Thor took a face-full of the Bifrost exploding in his face at the climax of Thor. Loki was using the Bifrost Bridge to destroy Jotunheim. Thor remedied this problem by hammering it multiple times, which exposed him to its tremendous energies. He's also shrugged off energy blasts from Gungnir, though it did appear to hurt and disorient him visibly. Moreover, Thor has experience in resisting the harmful effects of Infinity Stones (e.g., the Reality Stone and Power Stone respectively). While the Stones were by no means functioning at full power, it's still impressive. Captain Marvel's photon blasts are comparable at the very least.

As others have observed, Thor has bounced back after getting clobbered by powerhouses like Kurse, Hulk, and Ultron. I'd peg Captain Marvel's strength somewhere between Kurse and Hulk.

With these feats accorded, I think Thor has what it takes -- particularly with Stormbreaker in hand -- to stop Carol; however, she is likely to receive a significant upgrade in Endgame. All she needs is an upgrade in the durability department and she'll be winning more in these discussions.

I didn't see Carol Danvers display any speed feats. And regarding her durability, about 10 minutes before she was flying around destroying bombs, she was getting rocked by her former Kree teammates inside the space ship. Do we disregard this vulnerability because of what she displays 10 minutes later?

To quote the OP

"Full power Captain Marvel, without limiters and channeling the full power of the light speed engine - i.e. Tessaract-powered Kree tech"

In other words, what she was by the end of the movie at full power.
