When Thor fights beings like the Destroyer, he knows he’s in a battle and instinctively braces his body for impact. If an explosion catches him unprepared (e.g., while he's focused on something else or mid-action), he wouldn’t have time to brace, allowing the shockwave to take him by surprise.
Suddenly, the figure stopped. They turned, and for a split second, I caught a glimpse of their face beneath the hood—a young man, probably in his early thirties, with sharp features and dark eyes. His expression was one of panic, like a cornered animal.

Destroyer’s hits are localized kinetic impacts, and Thor’s body can endure those due to his superhuman strength and resilience. His muscles and bones absorb the energy of those strikes without transferring the force internally.

And about the thing u said later about Thor being able to tank two attacks of destroyer but making breathing harder for him here. there's a logical explanation to that. Explosions, however, create a widespread, high-pressure shockwave that acts on the entire surface of his body, including his chest cavity. The lungs, being softer and more compressible, are more susceptible to pressure changes. This is why even an Asgardian like Thor could feel the effects of a shockwave.

I hit the ground hard, the impact knocking the wind out of me. My ears rang, drowning out the shouts and gunfire that erupted around us. I scrambled to my feet, disoriented, trying to get my bearings. The warehouse was filled with thick, acrid smoke, and the air tasted of metal and dust.

To answer this question.. Here's something I found that might answer u : Destroyer’s hits are localized kinetic impacts, and Thor’s body can endure those due to his superhuman strength and resilience. His muscles and bones absorb the energy of those strikes without transferring the force internally. Explosions, however, create a widespread, high-pressure shockwave that acts on the entire surface of his body, including his chest cavity. The lungs, being softer and more compressible, are more susceptible to pressure changes. This is why even an Asgardian like Thor could feel the effects of a shockwave. 3. Caught Off-Guard When Thor fights beings like the Destroyer, he knows he’s in a battle and instinctively braces his body for impact. If an explosion catches him unprepared (e.g., while he's focused on something else or mid-action), he wouldn’t have time to brace, allowing the shockwave to take him by surprise. 4. Environmental and Situational Context The building explosion might have unique circumstances, such as being in a confined space. In tight areas, shockwaves can amplify due to reflection and compounding pressure, intensifying the impact on Thor. This could also explain why the explosion affects him differently than a punch or energy blast. 5. Narrative Consistency with The Boys Universe In The Boys, vulnerability is key to building tension and stakes. For Thor, the momentary effects of an explosion (wind knocked out, ears ringing) would serve as a plot device to humanize him while showcasing his rapid recovery. It wouldn’t diminish his power but would fit the grittier, more grounded tone of The Boys. Conclusion Even though Thor has withstood hits from the Destroyer in the MCU, the unique nature of an explosion and the gritty realism of The Boys universe could make it reasonable for him to momentarily feel its effects. It highlights the difference between pure durability and the physiological response to a concussive shockwave.
