Based on Jason Aaron's The Mighty Thor
Interested where we'll get Female Thor from given there's no Asgard (at least a proper one) and no mjolnir at the moment.
Jason Aaron's beard 'bout to get the cameo
Well that's one way to get Natalie Portman to come back. ;)
This movie will have the most upbeat, friendly, non-acrimonious online conversations ever.
Aaron cementing his legacy in one fell swoop, bad bitches only.

How optimistic of you :p.
I'm not one to dwell on the negative but I feel kind of bad for OG!Thor right about now.
Man, Aaron won lol. His Thor run straight up about to be memorialized by the MCU. If Endgame was the goodbye to Stark and Rogers, I wonder if OG!Thor bows out in this movie

I mean, I would say since it's a JaneThor movie, you would expect them to take OG!Thor out.
Actually, from the sounds of it, it seems Valkyrie is driving the plot more then Thor is. With Jane in two I'm almost half-expecting him to come off as a third wheel in his own movie.
[QUOTE=Punisher007;4470339]Well that's one way to get Natalie Portman to come back. ;)[/QUOTE]
I'm actually a little surprised Natalie Portman came back. Honestly I didn't think she was too into the marvel movies. And her character was seemigly written off easily enough.
I'm thrilled we're actually getting a fourth Thor film! This is the first time a solo character has gotten more than a trilogy so I'm kinda surprised; Endgame didn't give Thor an ending, so I figured we'd see him again....but I expected a GotG3 role to be his final appearance. Getting more Thor than I thought I would! Now I just hope he's still fat! Fat Thor is a national treasure! :D
Not surprised at all about JaneThor, and not upset about it either. Aaron's writing has gone off the deep end, but JaneThor started out pretty strong. The MCU has successfully adapted divisive stories before and they're obviously not going to follow Aaron's narrative exactly.
Hemsworth isn't going to play this role forever so I got no problem with the torch being passed. Super excited about this one!

Well, guess this means I better avoid certain parts of Twitter and YouTube for a while.
They’re going to use Chris to try and get people on board with it and then kill him off. On her own, just like in the books she can’t pull it off. I will tell you this, I’m done with the MCU. After this BS and the “Ten Rings” going to Shang chi? Forget it. Iron man could’ve had an EPIC movie but no. It was racist. Now another Asian guy gets something he has no business having? Sorry. Done. And I’m sure a LARGE amount of the GA will agree. They’ll still make money but not billions anymore. Female Thor and gay Valkyrie right there cuts off at least 50% of their audience.
Like it or not, like Stark said in Endgame, there’s still a HUGE contingent of people who will forever resist being forced to accept things they don’t want to. Marvel is gonna learn the hard way. CM made money because men and women supported it. WW is the top out for female only support in a blockbuster. So Hammerette will get one hit movie before she dies off.

I think the best way to do JaneThor would be:
- Thor has the Stormbreaker, so he's fine without Mjolnir
- Which means he doesn't need to be unworthy
- She's only called Thor and female Thor as a nickname because she holds Mjolnir and has the aesthetics, not as a full-on "Thor is a mantle" thing.
- So no "The old Thor is just "Odinson" now" nonsense.

I dunno, I can easily see them having their cake and eating it too with Hemsworth Thor & Portman Thor running at the same time for a little bit longer.

When you see how JaneThor gets treated, it's not as surprising.

JaneThor in general is pretty strong, it's just when it comes to the original Thor that the main problems persist.
But I hope Jane isn't suddenly an expert and master Thor when she inevitably gets the abilities like she was in the comics.

A torch passing probably works better for JaneThor then the comics did, though I still hope it works out better then the comics did.

To be honest, I wonder if they give Jane a hammer and powers but give her a different codename then Thor like the cartoons did.
Although it would be truer to the comics for them to not truly coexist.
I loved Aaron's run. Wonder if this will have a serious tone. Will they have Jane having cancer and it's in remission because of Mjolnir? Or will it not be used at all? Wonder if this is all going to be laughs.
So far the reactions at Marvel's Facebook post are quite civil. For now.

And I bet it's very likely that Hemsworth is done after this film, so it's not likely going to be a problem.
If nothing else, we can take comfort in the fact that the MCU has adapted bad/divisive stories like Civil War, and made them successful and, more or less, quality. This isn't likely to be nearly as bad as Aaron. The guys at Marvel Studios are, quite frankly, just much better at their jobs (generally).
[QUOTE]But I hope Jane isn't suddenly an expert and master Thor when she inevitably gets the abilities like she was in the comics. [/QUOTE]
Who knows? It'd definitely be fun to see a rookie trying to control that much power, but depending on how they spin the enchantments it might make some sense. This isn't going to be Aaron's story put into live action, sh*t's gonna go down differently. I mean, some fans are going to write it all off just because it's based on Aaron but I doubt the film will look like Aaron's run any more than the Civil War film looked like the comic it was inspired by.
[QUOTE]A torch passing probably works better for JaneThor then the comics did, though I still hope it works out better then the comics did.[/QUOTE]
Two dozen MCU movies and none of them have been near as bad as the comics. I really don't think there's cause for concern.
[QUOTE]To be honest, I wonder if they give Jane a hammer and powers but give her a different codename then Thor like the cartoons did.[/QUOTE]
I dont think that's going to happen, for marketing and branding reasons more than anything else. But, Marvel's name alone is all the marketing you need so maybe Jane will get a different codename after all. I'd definitely be fine with that.....but I expect Jane will use Thor's name. We'll just have to wait and see.
[QUOTE]Although it would be truer to the comics for them to not truly coexist[/QUOTE]
I feel like this is going to be our goodbye to Hemsworth and that solves a lot of Aaron-shaped problems with how he's handled while Jane has the hammer.

I guess I'm just less sure because I'm not crazy about Waititi's Thor...or what I've heard about Endgame.
JaneThor just conjures some bad memories when it comes to OG!Thor.

I think that's all the more reason not to handle Jane like Aaron did. Because otherwise it'll just make OG!Thor look bad.

If it can improve from what Aaron did, I'll be grateful.
And maybe Thor's standing and portrayal in the comics will improve alongside it, so I can rest easy on that front...

Talk about knocking me over with a feather,; after the things she said, I thought she’d never come back, much less like this. I may have to start liking her again. Now bring back selvig!
Jane and her friends were, by far, the worst thing about the first two Thor movies. A movie centered around her and Valkyrie?
[img]https://media.giphy.com/media/2pU8T0OTNkmre/giphy.gif[/img]
Of all of the announcements...THIS ONE displeased me, the second only to Eternals given how much Marvel RARELY puts them in the spotlight outside of several minis, some characters interactions with the rest of the Marvel Universe and the original run of the series.
I mean the idea of a female Thor isn't a bad one, but with HOW Marvel handled Jane Foster's character and her "Transformation" into Thor is really pushing me to give this film a hard pass. Hopefully the director will have a PROPER idea of how to make this concept work. Right ?
Honestly, I was not interested in a fourth standalone Thor Odinson movie. I think Hemsworth ran his course and if Marvel was looking forward to continue the Thor franchise, I always supported the idea of passing the hammer to Jane, Eric or BRB. Considering how successful the Jane run was in the comics, I'm not surprised they went with that. Natalie Portman definitely deserves better than what she was given in the MCU, so it feels like an overdue too. And for her to accept to come back after being less than happy about the direction she was given tells me Taika had one hell of a pitch to convince her. I'm genuinely happy and excited for this.
My only concern is about the tone of the movie. Thor: Ragnarok was definitely the better directed Thor movie and I have no issue with Taika as a director, but he tends to go overboard with the comedy, and considering Jane's story in the comics and the whole cancer battle thing... let's just hope he does everything in a tasteful, sensitive manner.
I was also done with solo Thor until horse was confirmed, but that's because I couldn't see Portman letting them do this.

LMAO nobody cares. This is like the geniuses who predicted Far From Home was gonna flop because MJ was black and now it's currently the highest grossing Spider-Man movie, or that Black Panther was gonna not do well because it would only appeal to black people. Your average normal person does not give a crap about these things.

Or that Captain Marvel was going to flop and it grossed well past a billion.
Does Jane have an Appreciation Thread around here? Homegurl's about to get more hate than ever, and it would be nice to have a place where people could discuss her without the usual vitriol.
None that I can see; however we have this:

LOL Disney wouldn't push Captain Marvel to the point of being just the second MCU origin film after Black Panther to pass the 1 billion mark. That's just the YouTube haters grasping on thin air. CM's a thunderous success.
