I can't think of a time in his own book or the avengers where Thor has consistently been portrayed like this as an adult, as a younger tale of him yes, but since he originally formed the avengers I don't recall it
Not saying it's never happened, but in his own book or avengers, consistently, I don't recall But I guess it's possible
But even so, even allowing for this is how he wants to write him, I reserve the right to dislike it

Admittedly this is left of field but since Echidna is there, and she has some mystical powers, maybe her presence is augmenting Namor?
Given Carol's treat by men in the past, I don't blame her approach toward Namor.
And I think an underwater superteam is long overdue. With other marine characters out there you'd think they'd have banded together decades ago.

He's not. I've read Scalped and Southern Bastards and he's pretty damn good.
But honestly, I find his superhero stuff incredibly lacking. I liked the first arc of his Thor run with the God killer stuff and some of the earlier arcs in Wolverine and the X-Men, but everything else... it's just kind of boring. Hulk bored me to tears, Punisher was generic (though, pretty much all Punisher comics are), most of his Thor stuff went in and left the moment I was done reading, Original Sin I keep having to remind myself ever existed, and Dr. Strange... was just kind of there. I don't know what about it, but his superhero comics are just boring and none of his characters are written in a way I find compelling.
His Indie stuff is great, but his Marvel stuff is lacking. I think his strength lies in writing smaller, down-to-earth characters and stories that are human and relatable.
Opinions may vary in quality.
My big article on Mariko Tamaki's Hulk & She-Hulk runs, discussing the good, bad, and its creation.
My second big article on She-Hulk, discussing Jason Aaron's focus on her in Avengers #20.
Why exactly is it important that heroes are always shown in the best light? Cut me in half and you will find ‘Thor Fan’ written through me like Brighton Rock. Do I fret about Thor being cast as a humorous character occasionally, or being depowered for a while? Do I worry about Thor not having Mjölnir for a couple of years? Do I mind if he is depicted as occasionally drinking or kissing She-Hulk and then feeling self concious about it? Why on earth should I?
Aaron has proven over and over that he understands Thor and Thor comics. He has brought the line huge success and asked fascinating questions about the premise of the character. Throughout he has referenced Kirby, Simonson, Thomas, and no doubt many other classic Thor stories. He is responsible for two of my favourite Thor runs back to back. I couldn’t be more happy with Aaron as the custodian of one of my favourite Marvel characters.
Right beside Thor Fan you will find written Cyclops Fan, and he’s been dead for years. I don’t particularly mind about that either, but I look forward to his inevitable return.
I find his thor a very human ish god of thunder
Not for the better I would add imo
Yet his jane was excellent for that exact reason
Imo it is the very lack of godliness for want of a better word I find lacking in his thor work
But I'm that surprised by that based on some of the things he said in the odd interview
I feel
Personally as a Superhero fan I prefer my characters to be written consistently and heroically. Not that I'm against them struggling or having down periods but I don't think it should be handled in the way Aaron has been handling it with Thor.
But that's my personal opinion. I don't think you're any less a Thor fan for having a different one.
I don't deny Aaron seems to know a lot about Thor's history and continuity, but I just personally don't really care for his handling of the mythos and his characterization for certain characters.Aaron has proven over and over that he understands Thor and Thor comics.

But that's just me.
Agreed
I can't deny the interest and success of the run
and I thought he handle janes story very well
But his general handling of the asgard mythos, thor and odin in particular I very much dislike
But clearly sales show a good number of people do like it, that's cool too
Thanks. Must have missed that post. I only recognized Tiger Shark from the bunch. I mentioned this already, but I'm surprised Namora, Namorita, Marrina and Crosta were all absent. I guess they're going for a darker take, so they didn't make the cut, but it would've been a nice use of the Atlantean adjacent characters that don't often see the light of day. Some cool designs with this bunch though & I hope they stick around in the long-run.
I don't know, I think a misdirection like that with none of them being actual candidates is kinda pointless. I hope it's Black Widow. Whoever it is, they'll likely only stick around for one arc anyway, while the current narrative is addressed, then whatever story comes next will bring someone else on board. I look forward to seeing who's on the Avengers when the War of the Realms comes to Midgard.
I think they're different enough that having Ares on the team for a few issues wouldn't cause a redundancy. If he's the recruit though, I've no clue why he'd be pulled in at this time.
Isn't this Issue #700? It's an over-sized anniversary issue I think, hence why there's a bit more content. I'm really excited. The first arc was lackluster, and I'm still not a fan of the way Aaron writes Thor & She-Hulk, but the overall story he's weaving has my interest.
It's ridiculous right? Namor is such a drama queen. Going to war with the entire surface world for the grievances of a few is freaking ridiculous. And let's not forget when his actions when he was one of the Phoenix Five against the people of Wakanda.
Amen.
It’s all very well having a personal perspective but to accuse a writer of willfully ignoring characterisation or writing him unherocially requires more than a personal sense of dissatisfaction. Especially when others don’t see it.
Suffice to say there are different ways to interpret just about anything he has been depicted doing in most of Aaron’s comics.
I am fine with different perspectives and interpretations, but I will never understand the many fans whom when given two or more alternative interpretations of a comic, choose the one that makes their hero seem worse. This seems to be the default mode for a lot of people across fandom in general. That to me is entirely self-defeating as an outlook. It starts with expecting to be dissatisfied and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
