GOTG SPOILERS BELOW!!!

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!

In the comics, Kurse is stated to be FOUR TIMES stronger than Thor. So yeah his showing isnt that bad at all, Kurse could probably put up a good fight against the likes of Thanos (strictly from a physical slugfest standpoint)

He nearly stomped Thor. How is that not a good showing?

Beata

Physically he's far stronger than Thor in both the mainstream Marvel Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I agree I just think people don't know HOW strong. He's obviously way more powerful then Hulk.

anything that can shrug off mjolnir like it was a little kids nerf football is immensely powerful

I think the swatting Mjolnir thing in the movie was massive PIS.

yeah, mjolnir bounces off yet lokis sword goes right through him?? like wtf, is loki a jedi with a lightsaber??

the blade going thru him had no bearin on him whatsoever.

Eh, The Dark World could and should have been a very well done movie that actually explored the Nine Realms and focused on the Dark Elves more but it turned into a cutesy Disney love-fest with way too much snarky humor and blatantly idiotic plot-holes. That Kurse/Thor fight could've been epic, but it was another casualty of cuts and reshoots that happened while the film was in production. I'm curious to see the director's cut because I think I read somewhere that Alan Taylor had quite a different vision for the film.

Well, Thor couldn't take on Kurse physically and had to outsmart him.

@haveatthee-Hopefully, GOTG and Winter Soldier's success means that Marvel allow directors more creative freedom and the ability to go outside the "Marvel method" box

Originally The Beyonder had given the Kurse two times the abilities that Thor possessed and beat Thor well enough and If memory serves me right Thor donned the bealt of strength and was able to beat The Kurse making The Beyonder extremely mad and so he doubled Kurse's power again and I believe that Beta Ray Came in and Finally helped Thor end it once and for all. Most wont believe this but Kurse ended up being adopted by Asgard and Kurse actually became the protector of Children, that was his new responsibility! Yeah, I was taken back also when I saw that!

This is what happened. ^

What evidence do we have that what happened in those movies was not a direct result of the "Marvel Method"? Not arguing just wanting to know the facts
