Yeah, Momoa is clearly a guy who prefers to make women laugh and set them at ease. He made a very stupid faux pas and unlike Affleck, he apologized for his mistake immediately.

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

He swung his mountain-splitting hammer at a man whom he had no reason at all to believe should be able to survive it. He knew he was on Midgard. He knows how strong (or not-strong) humans are. He knows how not-strong our metals tend to be. He had no reason in the world to think Cap could possibly survive that hit. Originally Posted by Flash Gordon

The fact that Stark is enough of a genius to develop a suit that can actually EAT lightning strikes is irrelevant. Thor didn't know that at the time.Though much is taken, much abides; and though

I rewatched the ACCOUNTANT (loved it) and oh man Ben Affleck could be so fantastic in a solo Batman film. I don't get the criticisms about his age, Bruce Wayne would be a guy in his 40s- at least in my mind. Originally Posted by FIFTY-TWO (52)

I meant what has the actions of his best bud got to do with him? This is slightly ridiculous actually. Originally Posted by Krypto's Fleas

Eh, he wasn't trying to murder them. It was a battle. Cap and Stark don't look like your casual civilians out for lunch on a Tuesday. Originally Posted by Vanguard-01

Dude, Mamoa is amazing.

Like to point out Tony flew in and knocked Thor an Asgardian across the forest first and Captain America hit Thor in the head with his shield first both men proved they could handle a fight with an Asgardian before he threw a punch. Oh and they captured Loki. Originally Posted by Flash Gordon

They also don't, from Thor's experience, look like the kind of guys who can survive his very best offensive weapons. Don't forget that Thor has fairly extensive experience with the people of Midgard. He has NEVER seen them field ANYTHING that could reasonably threaten an Asgardian. He had no reason to think they could survive what he was throwing their way. Originally Posted by Flash Gordon
Now, I will admit that this argument still doesn't actually help Batman in BvS because even if you accept that Thor DID try to kill Cap and Stark in that fight, that's not the same thing as what Batman did. If Thor HAD killed Stark and Cap, it would've been a heat-of-battle kind of thing. Murder Two, at worst. Batman? That was First-Degree, fully pre-meditated murder he was planning to do against Superman. He spent a lot of time studying him, learning what could hurt him, and then he concocted elaborate traps and weapons designed specifically to exploit his weaknesses and give him the best possible chance at rendering Superman helpless. Heck, even when he had Superman beaten and helpless, he even couldn't resist dragging him around by his leg, throwing him around the room, and then cutting his face just to prove he could. As helpless as Superman was by that point, that pretty much qualified as torturing him before finishing him off.Though much is taken, much abides; and though

We? Who the heck is we? If you think it is right to make light of a topic such as rape, then it is no wonder why SOME people think it is ok, and not a huge deal, to violate another person's right in the most despicable way. Attitudes like that empowered people like Ben Affleck and Harvey Weinstein. It is far from just a bad stupid joke; IT IS NEVER ok to joke about raping another woman (or even a man). If one can trivialize such a thing, then it indicates that one is capable of performing the same deeds to an innocent unsuspecting person as well. And to humour your point, the women in Momoa's context, were not (portrayed as) rapists killers and molesters. Originally Posted by Jokerz79

You think? Are you actually having a hard time figuring out whether beating up a woman is better or worse than touching a breast? Originally Posted by SiegePerilous02

Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."

Ugh, yeah that sentence of mine really sucks. Could have been worded way better. Darknight Detective responded correctly, that easily trumps any of this stuff with Affleck. Originally Posted by Clark_Kent
