MCU Hela Blocks Thor's Lightning from Point Blank

Going frame by frame she was already blocking when Thor fired an electric bolt from his sword. I don't even think you can calc her arm movement in frame 162388 since Thor's lightning bolt had already fired.
Except, we don't see when Thor fires the bolt. All we see is Hela:

  • Shoot a blade at him
  • Immediately Blocks the Bolt.
I guess at Worse it's 50/50, but all that means is whatever this would yield would have to have a "Possibly" in front of it.

But it really looks like she fired a sword simultaniously as the bolt came.
 
Thor ususally thrusts when he shoots a lightning bolt from the sword. If she saw him make that motion then she could've raised up her arms in response to that. It being offscreen and a lack a blue hue on the right before the lightning bolt appears makes it impossible to get a proper bearing/calc imo.

EDIT: Plus right after the block she ends up getting smashed into the rainbow bridge with some lightning TK.

We literally see Hela start blocking (Even in the stills) before her sword even leaves the frame. Also, her getting hit doesn't mean anything.

You can be fast enough to react and block things, and still get hit by them in other cases, Boxing as an Example.

But it could just be her proactively blocking rather than her reactively blocking. I think that the scene is just to vague too use as an upgrade.

I think its a "Possibly MHS+ reaction/movement" speed
 
Maybe if the one Spider-Man meteor thing gets a proper calc to it, it'll be better received. But right now I'm not even really good with a "Possibly" rating. But others could feel differently.
 
It's too one off, had Thor rain lighting down upon her, and she was dodging. Most would be inclined to give an upgrade.
