Don't think that has ever happened so I'd say no. He dented the shield once with Mjolnir but that was about it. I'm hoping we see Thanos destory the shield in Infinity Wars though.
If Mjolnir can't break it why would Thor be able to?

That will be shortly before Cap grabs Mjolnir and beats Thanos's ass in.

This reminds me that I heard more laughs during Avengers than I've heard watching most comedy films sans Guardians.
Sometimes i forget how much audiences love Marvel films and I'm sure the good humour is a huge part of that.
The shield breaks in Age of Ultron.

During a Scarlet Witch induced premonition where Thanos has wrecked everyone?
Nah, that's some mind-fuckery by Best Olsen.
Or is it?

It's SW's hallucination that she gives to Tony. Was described as one of the scenes shown at SDCC last year. I think the scene had the entire Avengers team dead with Tony standing over them.
Pretty sure this is one of the few things we know for sure.
Or isn't?
The Ultron Drone bailing in the lower front of the mob is cracking me upSome gifs from a 1080p source.

It got bundled into the xmen deal.
Nope, it's stuck with the X-Men rights.
Ah, must've missed that.

My mates and I have had discussions about this already. Which will get more money, Ultron or Force Awakens? It's going to be an amazing year for Disney.

its from an avengers book so i dont see why adamantium would be exclusively at fox...that would be like saying no no no sony has gold, and marvel has argon.
The only reason people know what adamantium is - is because of Wolverine.
That's why the rights to it belongs to Fox.

Does seem silly how a tap from caps shield and the ultron drones are sent flying. Thor and Hulk should have no problem here
I think it's just going to be a sheer numbers and endurance thing. An endless fight that pushes them all.
It looks like the minions are garbage-tier for all characters, really. I think it will be more about the quantity of them and how they'll set the heroes back during a certain event than being an actual direct threat. There's only so many you can dispatch at once even if you're the Hulk.

So, like the First Avengers movie then.
If we're being reductive, then yeah, like the first movie. It's also another movie about the Avengers banding together against a threat bigger than themselves. Etc.
I'm sure the reason why the Ultron minions battle will happen, how long it will take, and how the fight itself will develop will all be particular enough to differentiate it from the Chitauri battle in Avengers.
which is why I hate movie Thor

there's also the fact that Ultron will be launching a worldwide attack with his drones, splitting the team up and weakening them. there are ways to make the stakes higher with these kinda things.
honestly i'm fine with stuff like that. i live for scenes of the team coming together and beating on fodder.

Yep, same here. I'm especially giddy to see more combined moves.
While it would have made more sense for Tony to fire a beam at the shield with one hand and a second beam at the Chitauri with the other, that moment is too awesome for me to be upset. That entire shot showing the entire team is still one of the best moments put in a super hero film. It felt like a huge double splash page brought to life. Whatever faults that Avengers has as a whole, that final battle sequence was so great.

I hope AOU has more long shot fight sequences in general. Justice League too. Teamup movies are great to showcase them.
Go on...
This would be acceptable because we'll never see it properly done with Wolverine (who's the go-to guy for a fastball special).
The vibranium amplifies the repulsor beams.
And using your buddy's shield to deflect a laserbeam at aliens is ballsout awesome.
I'm hoping for a Iron Man - Thor combo, where Thor amplifies the suit to 400% or more.

Why doesn't Tony use his two wrist-lasers from IM2?
He used them in Avengers 1, right? Maybe the Mk.45 just doesn't have the wrist-lasers for some reason.
I always justified it as concentrating two repulsor blasts into one beam with greater force. Plus it was rad as hell!
He was actually just trying to hit Cap, cause Cap was getting in his way. Always quick thinking though Cap just redirected the blast elsewhere.

Did he use them in Avengers? I can't remember that ever happening.
Yeah, against that dragon alien. Didn't do shit.
He used it once on the helicarrier and once against the space whale.
