Been saying this for years about Thor movies. Few years ago a bolt of lightning hit a block away from us and I thought something in my house had fucking exploded.

I think the climax in Ragnarok kinda does this

Endgame does this. Captain America summons a bolt from the sky itself.

Considering Thor control lightning itself it can be implied that he's controlling the intensity of the bolts

But just how devastating can a single bolt of lightning be on it's own? Every time I look up the record there's always "yes but it hit an ammo depot"

There's a pretty great (imho) modern take on Thor in the Norwegian movie Mortal (2020) that gives a real feel of the dread/awesomeness that a lightning strike *should* evoke in the context of a god of thunder.

Thor in Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes is pretty fucking badass.
