The speaker discusses the strength of Thor and Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and Marvel Comics. He starts by expressing his interest in the new Thor movie and jokes about the potential plotlines. He then introduces the show "Film Theory" and explains that he's tackling the topic of Thor Ragnarok.
The speaker mentions a running joke in the latest Thor Ragnarok trailer where Thor consistently claims to be the strongest Avenger, but is undermined by Hulk. He then delves into a discussion about who is the stronger Avenger, Thor or Hulk, referencing a radio interview with Stan Lee where Stan Lee stated that Thor is the stronger Avenger because he is one of the Norse gods.
The speaker then proceeds to analyze the strength of both characters in the comics and movies. He mentions that in the comics, there is no clear winner in their battles, but there are instances where Hulk is shown to be stronger. In the movies, he compares the strength of the characters by looking at their feats of strength.
He mentions a scene in Iron Man where Thor uses his lightning powers to charge the Iron Man suit, but fails to overpower Tony Stark. He also mentions a scene in Avengers where Thor uses Mjolnir to knock Hulk down, but Hulk is unable to lift the hammer.
The speaker then discusses the concept of Mjolnir in the MCU, stating that it is not based on weight but on Odin's enchantment. He mentions that when Thor is not worthy, he cannot lift Mjolnir, and when he is worthy, he can.
