Film Theory: Is Thor STRONGER Than The Hulk? (Thor: Ragnarok)

THOR: RAGNAROK is hitting theaters, giving us another epic Marvel movie that features our favorite heroes: The Avengers. This means The Hulk and Thor will yet again be featured in the same movie, giving us another chance to watch in awe as they enact astounding feats of strength. So far, Marvel hasn’t given a straight answer as to which one of these ultra-powerful heroes has the most brawn, even though they’ve gone head-to-head multiple times in the movies and comics. But that ends today, Loyal Theorists! With the power of math, science, and research, I will reveal which Avenger is strongest!

6:50 I DIED!!! (My fat cats name is Gandalf, we tried to put him on a diet but in revenge he pooped on our pillows)

...Did you just compare Hulk's max deadlift to Thor's grip crush?

[asianpersuasian]

I want a redo on this theory. You know since you compared deadlifting to grip strength...

[ainzulgone]

He compared arm and leg strength without thinking about the fact, that the legs are several times stronger than the arms. With this, Thor's grip strength gets easily bigger than Hulk's leg strength.

Matpat: Who is physically stronger, not who would win in a fight. So let's look at their fights and who's won more.

[AnoNYmous-bzef]

1:39 "Who would win in a fight?"
Stan Lee is still right though. He wasn't asked who is stronger, just who would win a fight.

[Gokuislifefam]

Hulk: *deadlifts 3768000 pounds*
Thor: *applies almost the same amount of force with his fingers*

[TheRagdollrejects]

So hulks entire body strength can output marginally more force than Thor’s hand... I’m not sure that proves the point.

[floop]

I just realises that at 10:20 MatPat shows a list of people who are worthy of lifting Thor's hammer, and Steve Rogers is on it (followed by "maybe"). Well that aged well.

[adriannoris]

"Thor can wield Mjolnir while nobody else can"
2019 me : Pfft.

[sleepykunderkat]

I feel like matpat should come back and redo this vid after infinity wars and especially because comparing a deadlift and a grip strength are 2 extremely different muscle groups

[TheFerretofEarth]

Literally comparing hulk using every muscle in his body to lift the hammer vs Thor's hand

[Grandflea]

I can deadlift more weight than eddie hall can exhert through gripping.
Thus, I am stronger than him.

[Cbev]

No infinity war spoilers but we may need to redo this discussion now lol Thor really flexed this time around

[samjohnson]

10:47 the reason that Thor’s feet didn’t sink in to the ground is because when he was banished to Earth he lost his powers and strength which is also why he had a harder time beating up the guards to get to Mjølnir

[jimmilton]

3:37 he said that to make a bluff to hulk who was possessed by an asgardian which made him more stronger than he regularly is and literally blasted him into space saying "DID YOU NOW"

[TheBluePhoenix]

I'll pretty sure my legs output more force than my hands.

[adamhubbard]

Thor was about to win in Thor Ragnarok without mjölnir

[TheAarongauntt]

That awkward moment when you compare grip strength to deadlift strength and assume it's the same thing

[dexterjohn]

Mat pat:Hulk is stronger

Infinity war: I gonna put some dirt in ur eye....
