y’all: peter was able to stop bucky’s fist in civil war bc bucky heard peter’s voice, realized he was a child, then weakened his punch bc he was so worried about hurting a child uwu
me, eating pistachios: y’all know peter can canonically lift up to 75 tons, right. y’all know bucky’s fist is easy as hell for peter to block, right. y’all know bucky didn’t know shit about peter being a child and was just shocked that someone was able to so easily block his punch, right. y’all know that, right.
Like, I could come up with a bunch of examples of Thor being hella smart, but let’s go with the most obvious one in this movie.
Thor specifically told the Guardians NOT to go to Knowhere. He told them they wouldn’t be able to stop Thanos from getting the Reality Stone anyway, and knew 100% that he needed to be more powerful to face him.
Not only was he right in the sense that, with Stormbreaker, he came super close to defeating Thanos with all 6 Stones, but also, if the Guardians had all gone with him to Nidavellir instead, Thanos wouldn’t have captured Gamora, he wouldn’t have found the Soul Stone, and he would’ve had to face the Avengers AND the Guardians on earth with one less Stone.
Moral of the story: Thor is INCREDIBLY smart and 100% knows what he’s doing, and people need to start paying attention to him more.
My favorite part of the gem of a movie that is Ragnarok is when the Revengers are discussing why they needed to steal a ship and Thor just casually drops several Science Explanations about needing a ship to withstand the singularity and basically ANYONE WHO THINKS THOR IS DUMB CAN CATCH THESE HANDS
so there’s this really popular online conspirator who focuses exclusively on the avengers and posts shit like “the hulk: actually an extraterrestrial?” “there’s a reason you’ve never seen Hawkeye at an airport—he’s made of metal” & “steve rogers is Dead: cloned and replaced beneath our noses”. the blogger goes by BruceBanner and everyone thinks it’s just a screen name but it’s actually bruce banner

I just heard my mom tell my brother, “when you die, you will go outside and garden until your father says you’re done” and it took me a second to realize that my brother was playing a videogame and this was not a theological discussion.
