    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!

    You need to consider the fact that Hulk had his whole body to use, not only his feet, as you move the leg muscles as well when trying to lift something properly.Thor only used SOME hand muscles, but mainly the thumb, which operates separately from the arm when squeezing . I dont know you, but to me, the ratio of strength to size of muscle is in Thor's favour.

    I feel as though the fact of what muscles are used has been wrongfully overlooked. You cannot simply compare the force that they exert in these feats. Thor was able to exert that much force with only the muscles involved in closing his hand, as opposed to the muscles used by the Hulk in an attempt to lift the hammer. The Hulk used his upper body and core, which are generally significantly stronger than the muscles in one's hand and wrist.
    tl:dr The comparison used to draw the conclusion cannot be made due to the difference in muscles used.

    • @markhackett2302

      If your fingers were broken, could you lift anything, despite the fct your legs are still fine? No. Because if you can't put enough force into the grip to maintain hold, your fingers slip. The limit on your lifting power is the strength of your grip, not the strength of your legs.

      Also, with respect to thor trying to lift the hammer, I think matpat forgot that thor was basically turned into a (granted, very strong and tough) human until he became worth again (as shown by the fact that the big bouncer looking dude was more or less able to go toe-to-toe with him)

    Wait what? Why is the conclusion drawn so unfairly to thor? Why are we comparing what essentially is a deadlift ( how hulk generated the force) vs a squeeze.
    I'm fairly sure even people who don't workout knows or at least can imagine that deadlift is the strongest lift that humans can perform with weights. You're basically using your most powerful muscle groups in that movement namely your glutes, hamstrings and lower back. How is that remotely comparable to more delicate muscles of the forearms?
    If anything, assuming that the skeletomuscular construct of both hulk and thor complies with that of humans in terms of force output/ cross-section area of muscle (proportionate to their respective overall sizes) also accounting for joint structure involved in force production then Thor must be stronger than hulk based on the numbers matt postulated.
    Larger muscles in simpler joints generate forces much greater than smaller muscles in more complex joints, so if Thor can generate forces so relatively lesser with a squeeze than hulk can with his lower back and posterior muscles along his legs then it follows that thor would be able to generate much more force under the same movement.

    I think I found a problem with your theory. Your ending conclusion was based on the force one of Hulk's feet produced, but when lifting Mjolnir Hulk was using his entire body to try and pick up the hammer. The force he produces when trying to pick up Mjolnir would then be from his entire body. When you compare that to Thor using one hand to crush Tony's suit it can be seen that Thor can produce 3,456,000 pounds of force WITH ONE HAND, not even both of his arms. If I am missing something could somebody please point that out, but looking at it this way makes it seem as though Thor is much strong.
    P.S. love the show and have been watching for a really long time. Keep it up it brightens my day every time I see that you guys uploaded something.

      Vincent Keiper IV You're missing a big point fam. In movies, hulk is seen ripping through industrial material, as well as many of iron man's suits and shit just as easily as Thor. Not to mention, also in the movies and In the comics, iron man's suits are not only able to be disintegrated by a hand, but also by a bullet (which in this case would be weaker by A HIGH amount), a punch from captain America (who is human with peak human performance, so imagine Batman levels of strength), a missile, and many other things. The alloy is obviously weaker than he stated, also it's factually flawed because he compared the alloy to a real life counterpart, which wouldn't technically be a counterpart at all due to the fact that the fictional plot allows this metal to potentially be weaker than stated. A real life source doesn't always apply 100% to a fictional source. In real life. There's more to this but I don't feel like going too in depth.

    Your conclusion is wrong - Thor did not have his powers when he tries to pick up the hammer, hence his feet not sinking into the floor, as he was, essentially, the same as a human wrestler - strong, but only about the strength of someone like The Rock.
    Also in Thor: Ragnarok he punches Hulk when he finally uses his new powers and sends the green guy flying, as he was holding back the entire time trying to get through to Hulk to help him, rather than fight him. If The Grandmaster hadnt zapped him, who knows what would have happened.
    In the comics, Thor has multiple abilities besides strength. Comics Thor is more powerful than any version of the Hulk, especially when he has his enchanted belt of strength, Asgardian steel armour and the Odinforce, or more accurately Thorforce, when his father died and passed the power to his son.
    Also, never question Stan Lee on his own creations.

Thor is only using one hand... clearly using less muscles to crush Iron Man's gauntlet... So Thor's hand can exert 300 thousand pounds of force less than all of hulks arms.

    @lonnyworthamii9805 7 ปีที่แล้ว +308

    Like the video but the end results were Thor's grip strength and the Hulk's leg extension and dead lift strength. And both numbers are minimum approximations at that.
    If we took both of your numbers as their maximum output I'd actually assume that Thor is stronger--since his grip strength is controlled by relatively small muscles in his hand. When those same muscles are scaled up for the rest of his body he'd be stronger.
    I went ahead and did some quick researchon the correlation between grip strength and and leg extension strength to back my point.
    I found this study:
    journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abstract/2011/03001/Hand_Grip_Strength_as_a_Predictor_of_Muscular.156.aspx
    Now its correlative which means its not the best evidence for a causal relationship, but essentially, if its interpreted outside of the research's normal intent. you're looking at a 2.98 average factor between grip strength and leg extension force among athletes.
    That mean's you have to take Thor's number's and multiply them by 2.98 to get an approximate leg extension force. 10,296,298.76 pounds of force.
    That puts him above Hulk's 3,768,000 per foot.
    Obviously that doesn't mean Thor is stronger than the Hulk--as both numbers are just minimums for their strength.
    Still...
    A good vid though.

      But as stated the hammer it self is not heavy, just those who are worth can lift it in the MCU.But lets says it is roughly 100 to 150 pounds, most "buff" can lift that easy. So yeah the actually action of lifting the hammer can't truely show their powers because of the spell on it not it's weigh.
      So back to the iron man armor. Lets say both hulkbuster armor and the regular iron man armor are made out of the same materials, hulk is shown to crush and tear part of it in certain points of the fight. So from that I suppose they have roughly the same strength.
      I honestly can't really tell which of the two is strong in the MCU but just base off of what Matt and others say about the iron man armor they are both at semi equal strength.

    *SPOILERS FOR RAGNAROK*
    I've just realised that MatPat is wrong as in the film we see Thor starting to harness his powers without his hammer, and he almost very nearly beats Hulk until the Grandmaster activates his Thor's security chip, electrocuting him. So Thor would've beaten Hulk, and Thor is stronger now he's able to harness the full capabilities of his lighting powers.

    I don't think MatPat compared the 2 correctly.

Just because I can lift 60 tons it doesn't mean I can punch with that force.

      Second, it’s highly doubtful that Hulk was “giving his all”. That’s not the angriest Hulk has been. Plus, Hulk was crushing and ripping the Hulkbuster armor with relative ease, making an apples to apples comparison appear to give Hulk the edge.

    • @hereIAm604
      @hereIAm604 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Still, the amount of strenght you can accumulate in your feets is way higher, than in your hands, since your feet and mainly your legs contain way bigger muscles than your hands/arms (which Thor also used only one). Also Hulk used his whole body trying to lift the hammer, while Thor only used the muscle strenght of his one hand/arm. In other words, Hulk used pretty much all of his body muscles to get a bit more raw force, than Thor with only one hand. And he was not even trying to hurt Tony.

    Matpat you forgot a key point-- Muscle groups. When Hulk drove his feet into the ground he was using every muscle in his body trying to lift the Hammer. Compared to Thor who was only using his hand to crush Iron man's armor. If one hand can crush that much what happens if he uses two, Lifts with his legs, or idk puts his back into it. You got Hulks total body strength now we need Thors to make a good comparison.

    • @94e88
      @94e88 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Steven Langevin You have take in to account that Mat compared the alloy to literal steel beams, not to thin sheets like on the suit. Mat just took a steel beams max load, timed it by four and used that number, which is not right in anyway. So Thor would actually be much weaker if Mat would do his research and not be lazy. And even worse, he said that the alloy was 4x HARDER not tougher or more durable, see hardness has nothing to do with durability, hardness just usually makes things resistant to abrasion but makes the material brittle. This episode is one of the more innaccurate and lazily researched ones. Also, it seems like he wants Thor to be the winner, so that's that

    Well in Thor Ragnarok when Thor's hammer gets destroyed by his sister Hela, later on when Thor is battling Hulk in the arena Odin makes one last return to talk from the dead and gives him a vision that says that Mjolnir was just a tool to help Thor focus his power, after that Thor became much stronger and by those means he would have beat hulk if he didn't get shocked by the taser thingy.

    Because a man's hand can totally compare to all the other muscles.
    I seriously doubt that Thor's wrist and forearm can win against Hulk's thighs and calfs. Take into consideration what was happening. Thor was crushing using his hand, similar to how one would crush a can of diet coke* versus Hulk, who was basically trying to do something akin to a powerlift or a squat. Obviously, the relatively small muscles in Thors' wrist wouldn't claim victory to the entire force of Hulk's lower body trying his damnedest. But considering how close the numbers are, I'd still like to throw my hat into the 'Thor is stronger' ring. If Thor can still get close to the numbers Hulk's boasting yet he's only using his grip, I'd like to imagine a Norse god can hold his own against a gamma ray mix-up.

When he made the strength calculations (for crushing armor, and smashing asphalt), I was actually expecting him to compare wrist strength with deadlift strength. Can't believe Matpat, with all his nerdy calculations, wouldn't have thought of this...

  • @kat7512
    @kat7512 6 ปีที่แล้ว +57

    You not only compared non-max strength feats (I mean, Thor wasn't even trying that hard to crush iron man's armor), but you compared grip strength to entire body.
    And also, here's a thought that is confirmed in the movie but is just plain common sense, the computer is not omnipotent, it was programed by Tony.

      Like, I'm definitely not some form of weightlifter, but I'm reasonably fit, at the least. I could probably lift a couch a bit, but I couldn't crush a ceramic bowl.
      That said, I don't particularly want to lift a couch or crush a bowl, partially because I don't have many bowls.

  • @onstepahead
    @onstepahead 7 ปีที่แล้ว +74

    I wouldn't use the Hulk's foot imprints and Thor crushing Iron Man's gauntlet as an accurate example. I say this because of the fact that different muscles would be in use; from what I saw only Thor was only using his arm and Hulk was using both arms and his back to lift it. (Don't quote me I'm just going off of the video and basic workout knowledge) I think that there are way to many things to take into account for that example.

    • @JoshEastham
      @JoshEastham 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      SoundWave should have compared the ground not breaking for Thor? Or made it a spoiler video and showed thors new abilities

    • @mizeromni
      @mizeromni 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The ground did not break for Thor because in that scene he was as weak as humans are. His strength was also taken from him, like Mjolnir, by Odin. So of course the ground did not split, he was human.
      I still think the outcome would be thr same in any scenario, with Hulk coming out on top in strength. Thor comes close, and is smarter than an enraged Hulk so would have a chance to win in a fight though.

    • @mizeromni
      @mizeromni 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Padraig Gribbin No, he was not human, he was essentially a human. Look at the hospital scene where mere mortals held him down. He was only in the hospital because he sustained injury via being struck by a vehicle. He tanks a lot heavier hits than that in the final battle of that movie without a scratch. He did not have his Asgardian strengths anymore. Odin enchanted him to be human until he was worthy of Mjolnir again.

    • @onstepahead
      @onstepahead 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Even if you would use the ground for Thor it just seemed like mud which wouldn't break under force and just move to the side. (Again most of my posts are based on footage from the video haven't seen these movies in a while)

    You get all the data out, and (probably) double check it to make sure you've got the right numbers everywhere, but you come to the wrong conclusion.
    You state there, that the Hulk, leveraging his entire body mass, as well as the full strength of his feet, core muscles, shoulders and arms, and it totals 7536000 lbs of force. (3768000 lbs per foot)
    Then we have Thor, exerting 3456000 lbs of force in the battle against Iron Man, with ONLY HIS HAND.
    Let me repeat that: THOR'S GRIP STRENGTH WITH ONLY ONE HAND IS ALMOST HALF OF THE STRENGTH HULK CAN LEVERAGE WITH HIS ENTIRE BODY!
    So, if we add in the potential strength of Thor's arms, shoulders, core muscles, and legs, he should in total be stronger than Hulk.

      That too, however, it is likelier that cinematic Hulk was using more of his strength than cinematic Thor in those examples.
      Hulk was trying to lift a hammer to hit Thor in his rage, while Thor's example is that he was trying to incapacitate a mortal in a battlesuit.
      Only one of them was in a state where he could make rational decisions, and therefore was possibly holding more back than the other.

      Grip strength is always far less than lifting strength. The fact he was able to exert that much force is a hell of a lot more impressive than what the hulk did.

    Umm.. Matpat did you turn the page in that FEAR Itself story. Thor was joking when he said t hat, since in t he very next page he does beat the Hulk. In fact while most of the fights end in a draw. The fights that don't end in a draw overwhelmingly have Thor win. In truth Thor's win record is Three Times Hulk's record against him.
