MCU Thor and Gorr Lifting Strength Revision

Hello everyone.


I would like to propose removing the Pre-Stellar Lifting Strength ratings for Thor and Gorr in the MCU.


The reason is simple: the current justification appears to be circular.


Thor’s Love and Thunder key currently has “At least Pre-Stellar” Lifting Strength because he evenly matched Gorr.


Gorr, meanwhile, has “At least Pre-Stellar” Lifting Strength because he evenly matched Thor.


So the scaling effectively becomes:


  • Thor gets Pre-Stellar from Gorr
  • Gorr gets Pre-Stellar from Thor

That is not a proper lifting strength justification.


Neither character has an actual Pre-Stellar lifting feat, nor do they scale from a character with an independently established Pre-Stellar lifting value. As such, this rating does not seem properly supported.


By contrast, Thor’s earlier Class P rating is at least feat-backed through moving the rings of Nidavellir, which is a direct lifting justification.


Proposed changes


Thor:
Remove “At least Pre-Stellar” Lifting Strength and keep him at Class P unless a better direct justification is provided.


Gorr:
Remove “At least Pre-Stellar” Lifting Strength and replace it with a more conservative rating until a proper feat or scaling chain is found.


Conclusion


The current Pre-Stellar ratings for Thor and Gorr seem to rely on circular scaling rather than an independent feat or a valid lifting chain, so I believe they should be removed.
