Is Attuma really that much stronger than Thor?

"By relatable and interesting I assume they are kinda talking about the same criticism that plagues Superman: that some people feel he is too powerful and there is no drama in a character that cannot really be hurt. I suppose there may be a point in there, yet they seem to have no trouble showing the Hulk as crazy strong. MCU seems to be contradicting themselves."
Ugghh. Hulk can lift the entire billion ton island of Manhattan by himself.

Superman being overpowered is a burden he faces from being such a powerful character. Silver Surfer, Flash, Thanos, and tons of characters in both Marvel and DC are stronger than Superman. He hasn't been around for 75 years by being overpowered.

Attuma in water lifts max of 60 tons. Outside water he can only lift 40 tons. Both Thor and Hulk lift over 100 tons.
Honestly, Thor never gets the respect he deserves outside of his own comics. Everytime he has to share screentime with someone else he is gimped. In the cartoons especially (not just this but Ultimate Avengers, Hulk vs., and EMH) Thor is shown as some kind of dimwitted brawler instead of being the best warrior of Asgard in a thousand years, who's had centuries and centuries of fight experience. -

I don't remember him seeming dimwitted in EMH, but in this series he seems to be. I haven't seen Hulk Vs. and it's been a long time since I've seen Ultimate Avengers, but I don't remember him doing much of anything in those movies. Like I said, I don't really care if they wanted to make Attuma stronger in this series cuz they thought he would be a good match for Hulk, but why was Thor getting his butt handed to him?
I understand Thor supposedly holds back a lot, yet he often times seems weak and unnecessary. I did like the part in "Avengers: Impossible" were he through the hammer to Attuma to have him catch it and he then preceded to crash through the tower. That was a smart thing to do instead of just relying on brute strength. -

No he is not nearly as strong but depowering Thor is just something they do to make it interesting or else it would be all over in 5 minutes, like they did with superman(sometimes you see him having trouble lifting a building and sometimes no trouble lifting an Island)
oh and PS when Hulk became more and more popular during the years they also made him really overpowered and stupid and thus not interesting enough to make him a hit on the big screen (maybe they lurned a lesson and thats why they have depowered Thor now, who knows exactly)..:) -

I wonder if enough fan complaint would make them power Thor up again? In the first season of Justice League Superman seemed quite weak and got taken out by things that shouldn't have hurt him. Thankfully in season two and onward that problem was corrected. I understood the reasoning behind it was that they didn't want Supe to always be the one to save the day when it was an ensemble, but they made him a wimp at first.
