Thor Odinson: God of Thunder Appreciation 2020

[Wall-Crawler]

This shows that modern Marvel hates Thor or just don't get the character. Much like how nobody gets Thanos but Starlin, with Ron Marz and Keith Giffen being the only exceptions.

No, they don't "hate" Thor, many writers probably don't get his character but I doubt a company feels hate towards one of their staple and most recognizable characters.

Need I remind you, despite how badly he's been treated by Aaron, Thor is still a massive powerhouse and the saving grace of Midgard, he alone has saved the Earth's ass in 5 events this last decade alone (Siege, Fear Itself, Infinity, Secret Empire, War of the Realms) with 3 of those being Thor centered stories that encompassed the entire company.

On the contrary, I think Marvel does see a lot of potential in Thor, but in trying to make his appeal for mass consumption, he is losing the characteristics that made him unique.

I think Marvel definitely sees Thor as one of their marquee characters, they've just let his depiction become vastly inconsistent and less than flattering in some instances.

But Jane Foster was pretty much the real heroine of WotR. Taking leadership of Asgard warriors and slashing through mythological monsters like they are scrubs despite her being a regular human.

Marvel doesn't necessarily hate Thor but in their push for diversity they push their female character, most of the time at the expense of established male characters.

Not really, your dislike towards Aaron is affecting what actually happened.

The first half of the event was about trying to get Thor back because all the earth heroes knew they'd lose without him, and so they did, then as soon as they got Thor back, he turned the tides in favor of the heroes, went to the sun and afterwards pretty much soloed Malekith's amy with planet wide storms and hopping around the world helping the teams of heroes, then finally he became worthy and defeated a Knull amped Malekith, effectively finishing the war by himself.

All Jane did was offer some support against the Dark Elves while Thor dealt with the actual threat , yes it was beyond dumb, and seeing her leading warrios with thousands of years of experience and calling her all-mother almost made me puke, but that was the all the extent of her participation.

When was the last time Thor and Loki had an actual fight ?

I was thinking, despite Loki being Thor's main villain and most recurring one, in their 50+ years of history they've barely had any actual fights one on one, it's usually Loki manipulating events or having others do the fighting for him.

For everyone:

I thought some of Jane's role in WotR was ridiculous and the four Thor's were unnecessary, but Thor was the main character of the event.

It was still ridiculous for Thor needing help from his past and future self to defeat a Loki-lite villain, even if he was amped by a symbiote. And the way Aaron writes the character in Avengers is still awful.

That I very much agree with.

Again, I agree that the past and future Thor's felt unnecessary and just Aaron trying to bring things full-circle in the most unnecessarily over-the-top fashion. And Aaron really doesn't write Thor well in Avengers.

IIRC, they came to blows during Thor #432:

This is where Loki seemingly dies in Tom Defalco's run right?
