Now, granted, this current iteration of Thor is a bit of a knucklehead and doesn't seem to respect anyone, even himself (and Tony's always been self-absorbed, if not quite so egotistical and dismissive of others in the past), so the fact that Thor's being an ass to Cassie just sort of follows along with his characterization for the last five years or so.
I kind of want to see him lip off to someone like Sersi, who'll turn him into a Frog of Thunder and his hammer into a whiff of magic smoke. Not since Odin kicked his butt out of Asgard for being a butthead has he so badly needed a smack upside the head.
Cassie, like all size-changers, should be an absolute badass. Because, physics. The square-cube law states that when height doubles, weight octuples. So if Cassie grows to double her size, her weight has to go up by a factor of eight. And if she goes up to ten times size, 50-60 feet in height, which we've seen her do, her weight increases *a thousandfold.* If her bones and flesh remained only as (proportionally)strong and tough as they are when she's normal size, the bones would shatter explosively under the weight, and her muscles slough off of them as her body collapses into a pile of gore, dying horribly in seconds.
Obviously this doesn't happen when Cassie (or Hank, or Erik, or Bill) grows to giant size, which means whatever extra mass they are adding is strong enough and tough enough to support that extra weight, which means that, at 10x size, a size we've seen her at before, she *should* be as strong and tough as old Marvel Handbook-era Hercules or Namor or Thor, able to lift close to 100 tons, and with bones tougher than any substance on earth (other than fantasy stuff like adamantium), and muscles and sinews and skin at least as durable as battleship steel.
So, again, badass. 'Cause, science.
