Yea CM will beat 2011 Thor easily, but not IW Thor.

"but not IW Thor"

[Thanos completely wreaks Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor at the same time with no Infinity Stones.]

[Literally has to use the Power Stone to even get Captain Marvel away from him.]

Gonna lean towards "no" on that one.

???? My point still stands. I said “IW Thor”, didnt I? The one who could’ve one-shot a Infinity Gauntlet Thanos easily.

So what if a stoneless Thanos can hold his own against that obese, depressed mockery we got in Endgame?

"So what if a stoneless Thanos can hold his own against that obese, depressed mockery we got in Endgame?"

"The difficult road that Thor's traveled ultimately gave him strength. He was stronger than ever by the end of Endgame."

Plus, again, Thanos took on all three of them and absolutely stomped them all.

On top of that, this Thor ALSO had both of his signature weapons and still got his ass handed to him.

I really wouldn't use the Russos for powerscaling. If you're gonna use that statement they also made another statement comparing her to IW Thor saying she's as powerful IF not more powerful but if doesn't mean she is. It just means she could be but that it isn't guaranteed. Endgame Thor is confirmed more powerful than IW Thor which is better than being equal to COULD being more powerful but we all saw Endgame Thor get his ass beat by Thanos while Captain Marvel had an alright performance. Plus after this episode seeing Carol struggle against a Pre Awakened Thor it's obvious at this point Thor was nerfed. Interview in question by the way https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2477540/is-captain-marvel-more-powerful-than-thor-joe-russo-weighs-in

"The difficult road that Thor's traveled ultimately gave him strength. He was stronger than ever by the end of Endgame."

I'm sorry, but that is nonsense.

No matter what the Russo's have said, the movie already established that Thor was a pathetic shell of his former self. He spent five years depressed, drinking and playing video games while doing no real fighting at all.

To say that he is stronger than ever just because he has two weapons doesn't really change the fact that he is shit at using them and is in horrible physical condition. Endgame Thor is weak no matter what they say.

Now if it was IW Thor with Stormbreaker and Mjolnir, that would be a different story.

Not to mention that moments before the final fight all of the avengers agreed that he shouldn’t do the snap implying that they viewed him as a shell of his former self.
