Thor Odinson, God of Thunder Appreciation 2019

[The Cool Thatguy]

btw, I was just thinking when Eternals get resurrected (let's face it, they will), Thor should ask his friend Sersi to grow his arm back.

it should be within the realm of her power.

I'm of two minds about that.

On the one hand, we're more aware than ever of soldiers losing limbs in battle, of having to adapt and deal with the trauma. Thor could be a character that could explore that.

But on the other hand, has Aaron really addressed the lost limb, and any trauma associated with it, at all? Hell, losing it to begin with was poorly executed and felt more random than anything else.

of all the problems should a loss of limbs be really explored in a book about an asgardian god? I just dont think the theme of the "trauma" matches the setting

[GodThor]

well sure, but It should as well be within the powers of asgardian magic, and thor is not simple asgardian god either (son of an elder goddess)

this also pisses me off and it's not only Aaron.

they don't acknowledge Thor's heritage and act like he is just an Asgardian God.

hell, even if the do it was just a by-away comment.

the only purpose was to humiliate him.

Why not? Fiction has been used to address many a concept via metaphor and such.

Thor comes from a culture that glorifies warfare and frowns on weakness. Thor might find himself hard pressed to find support for his recent loss. Or the story could go in another direction, in Thor finding support easily but struggling to accept it.

There are plenty of angles to explore, though Aaron went with the boring one, which was not to address it at all.

Tyr is the obvious character to explore that idea, having lost his hand to the Fenris Wolf.

I don't think it really works in super-hero comics anyway, as the available tech provides limbs just as good if not better than those they lost.

mine it's just a very subjective consideration so take it with a grain of salt, when I look for a comic book about mythic an powerful gods I'm not longing for a commentary on permanent physical injuries

Tyr's been missing a hand for a while now. He could help Thor address, sure but it wouldn't work as the main character.

As for replacing the limbs, most restore functionality. Not say, things like physical feeling or remove the memory of having lost it in the first place

it's bad enough that he moans about Mjolnir.

I don't want Thor to go around and be depressed because he doesn't have an arm.

it would LOOK terrible (it already is).

btw, I just took another peek at that chapter where Mjolnir got destroyed and saw Thor getting restrained by few fodder Asgardians in the background.

even those little details that you shouldn't pay much attention are bad.

actually this year we "lowly" humans were just able to implant the first robotic hands capable of sensory feedback, should the gods be left behind ? I think not

btw, that golden hammer was casually being cracked by Namor LMAO.

No that didn’t happen. It was in the very next issue, and indeed in the most recent issue.

There are two ways of looking at the golden hammer as it was previewed in #700. Either that was just supposed to be a glimpse of the Avengers costume, and the golden colour is just a colourful choice, or the gold meant something important.

The two books do somewhat contradict, in the way that team books often do contradict. In Avengers Thor is not particularly concerned by multiple hammers. He seems to have the same one throughout the entire run. In his own book he is constantly breaking them and makes a point of asking for more.

Originally I assumed we would get its introduction in Thor, and that it would become his primary hammer, but we are running out of time for that to happen and I think the timelines have marched too far forward for the whole of Thor to be prior to Avengers #1. So I guess that would suggest that the golden Avengers hammer is just part of his Avengers costume. A hammer he keeps at the Celestial base perhaps.

The hammer in Avengers has sometimes been coloured inconsistently. One time it sits on the table looking like stone. Another it only has the slightest hint of gold beneath a lightning blue glow. Mostly it has been coloured gold.

Thor #472 Mar 1994
First appearance of the Godlings: Blitzana, Loga, and Luminor in "If Twilight Falls"
Thor wakes from his dream of Ragnarok, to find his friends and father around him;

Thor tells them that he cannot stay in Asgard, his destiny is on Earth;

Odin tells him no, and he is forced to fight his way through his friends, and leaves;
He arrives on Earth and finds a battle between three powerful humans and three animal-like monsters;

Thor interferes and helps take down the three monsters, but is stopped by the master of all six - the High Evolutionary.

Script by Roy Thomas, pencils by M. C. Wyman, inks by Mike DeCarlo

[MindofShadow]

Why is Odin so weak?

I am way behind on Thor but how did a Skyfather get stabbed by redshirt elves?

EDIT: I mean, he just went toe-to-toe with Mangog not too long ago.
