AWESOME!

(though i may admit to some small measure of personal bias)

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Oh fuck YES.

Brian Blessed FTW, this film just raised itself one huge, deep booming voiced notch.

[Illuyankas]

Every film should require BRIAN BLESSED by law.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

I saw him filling in on an early morning hospital programme once. He scared the absolute shit out of some ill old lady, just by being so loud and domineering. The man's a living legend, he climbs mountains for fun, and he's in his 70s! He's the oldest man EVER to trek on foot to the North Pole, until 2003 he was the oldest man to go as high as he has on Everest, he'd climbed Mont Blanc by the age of 17, he's undertaken expeditions into the Amazon, has climbed Kilamanjaro and other big mountains, and has a black belt in Judo.

He is essentially the best man to ever have lived.

I was told about he and his wife appearing on some horrible daytime celebrity couples show - which I broke the speed of light changing the channel after that segment ended - and he was talking about climbing Everest. "We got to within 500 feet of the summit, but we had to go back and rescue someone who was in trouble and take him back to base camp and the medics. We got damned close, too, it was a shame. In the end he died, so I should have just left him there BWAHAHAHAHAHA"

EPIC WIN OF A MAN.

That is all.

Im curious. SOme of you say Thor is too powerful. In a world that has the hulk, the x-men? Marvel is hardly known for its reason.

[Aptorian]

Well. Thor is a bit more scary than Hulk is. He is the Hulks equal in strength and durability (his better in some stories) but he is also the god of thunder and storms. Thor could lay waste to the planet if he so wanted. He could create hurricanes, floods, tsunamies, earth quakes, volcanoes, etc. etc. he can travel through time and space, I don't know what Thors limits are, but he doesn't have many.

That's an issue of What If...? which has just got to be cheating...

[Aptorian]

Yeah, but seeing as Obdi brought up the Hulk I couldn't help myself.

Anyway, the point is that most of the time you see Thor in the Avengers for example, he is holding back. He's being the good guy.

When Thor gets angry, people run or people get fucked up.

During the Civil war, the people who were against superhero registration were shitting their pants when they thought Thor had returned to Earth and had joined the government initiative. The combined strength of the opposition would not have been enough to stop him.

[Bent]

This guy played Thor...for those of you who can't place him, he was Private Pile on Full Metal Jacket, The body the alien crammed into on Men In Black, the villain in The Cell, and is the main cop on Law and Order Criminal Intent....yes, he played Thor in the movie Adventures in Babysitting...so if he can pull it off, the skinny guy from Star Trek should be ok

Who played Thor in the old Hulk films from the 80s?

In Civil War the opposition have Hercules who seeks out Thor to fight before discovering the truth (no spoilers), who has shown time and again he is a match for Thor indeed Thor himself states in one comic that Hercules has the greater combat skill (although considering Thors customary chivalry etc this could be him being nice!)

But yeah I'd broadly agree, Thor is in the top few on Earth.

[Illuyankas]

He may have been using the Uru force (Odin's supergodpower for those who are wondering) at the time, but Thor has, at least once, stopped the Juggernaut.

[Aptorian]

Oh yeah, I constantly forget the Olympians that randomly team up with the Avengers.

Hercules is as strong and durable as Thor but I don't know anything about him having exceptional destructive powers like the god powers of the thunder god. But he certainly kicks ass. I recently read a bit where he made Sentry look like a little kid.

Then there's Ares. I've heard he's been teaming up with the Avengers or some similar group recently, besides being a one man army in battle, I still don't know if he has the destructive power of Thor.

[Bent]

The answer is Chuck Norris

[Cougar]

Who'd win in a fourway fracas between Norris, Wolverine, Thor and Brian Blessed?

[Illuyankas]

Thor lightnings the fuck out of Wolverine, frying him to the point where all living tissue he possesses is cooked to death - including bone marrow and whatnot - and he's offically dead. Suck it.

They say that Chuck Norris doesn't have a chin. That what's behind his beard is only another fist. Unfortunately, what's behind BRIAN BLESSED's beard is BRIAN BLESSED. Chuck implodes from the force of BRIAN BLESSED's laughter at his pitiful facial hair.

Thor and BRIAN BLESSED go off and get drunk. Thor passes out. BRIAN BLESSED wins.
