I would disagree with inconstant. His tone is subtle with Thor before War of the Realms, but he does very much present Thor as an strawman for Atheist arguments on a regular basis. Thor's continued unworthiness is the best example, but not only.
And God damn does he ever miss an opportunity to dump on Gods during War of the Realms?
I'm not too passionate about Thor, but I find myself loving his scene in Endgame more, where Thor learns that he is still worthy, despite his failure to kill Thanos.
When Aaron's run is finished, if there's one thing that will mar it, it's his continued depiction as treating someone's worth with depression as their actual worth.
The more I think about it the more I really like Endgame's approach to Thor and their spin on "unworthy." I even find myself hoping that he stays chunky. Perhaps not quite as overweight as in Endgame but still heavy. Kinda-sorta like Aaron's "War Thor" Volstagg.

I dunno. I think he definitely looks at it with an atheist or agnostic bent which is why the gods are so flawed and generally useless except for a few exceptions, but he can't seem to make up his mind whether they're worth keeping around or do any good aside from a few unique cases (some of them only technically gods) and sometimes even that isn't enough because they're not doing as much as they could.
Is that how the Warriors Three will be "remembered" ?
Man, I hated that moment in Ragnarok.
Agreed. As much as I enjoy Ragnarok, the way they got rid of.....basically everything......was pretty awful.
Hey, speaking of the War Thor.....where's that hammer at now? I don't remember who has it/where it's stashed. Seems like the WotR might be a good time to hand that thing over to someone and point them at some elves.....

I enjoy Ragarnok as a Superhero comedy film but not really as a Thor film.
I mean, not only did they just get rid of anything with very little fanfare or care (and even when it did seem like somebody cared they usually had to throw in a punchline), but Thor basically became Hercules, Executioner wasn't really Executioner up until they recreated his most famous comic moment, and Loki got turned into a comedy relief character.
I don't blame anyone for enjoying that, but it's really not what I look for when it comes to Thor.
He doesn't hate Thor, but he simply does not get the character and his supporting cast nor does he approach godly characters as they should, I mean, ffs what's the excuse for him having Hela crying like a teenage girl because Thanos dumped her......
Aaron is just trollin gwith Odin now lolol

Not the way I read them. His themes have remained very clear and unchanged from my perspective. What does it mean to be a god and specifically Thor. Just about every plot and subplot has addressed this in some way or other. Just about every antagonist and secondary character has served the exploration of this.
