Thor Odinson: God of Thunder Appreciation 2020

[K7P5V]

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

Correct. An intricate plan by Loki involving himself, Karnilla & Mephisto (while turning both Odin & Thor into cat's paws).

Definitely Thor #390:

That's the issue where Cap lifts Mjolnir. Also where the Captain America rules/Monica Rambeau sucks phase was at his height.

Also, don't forget legendarily AWESOME artwork from Ron Frenz.

What happened to JKtheMac and CharlieHustler though?

[Panic]

I think JK always said he would be leaving the thread after Aaron left.

Pretty cool, but i wish Cates would explore Thor's role as king of Asgard instead of doing another ''unworthy'' saga.

Well, that’s no true. Cates has gone on record on Twitter to state that this isn’t another “unworthy” story as per below:

Bleeding Fool:
“*YAWN*

Marvel's hottest #comics writer at the moment is Donny Cates. So it's more than a bit disappointing that when he took over on Thor, Cates wasted no time heading straight towards another tired "Thor Loses Mjölnir" story trope”

Cates:
“Not even CLOSE to what's happening. I assure you, Im not THAT predictable. And I promise you....you won't see this one coming.


So, it’s definitely not going down the same path as Aaron and I can’t understand why some people would think he would after all that went on before.

I was right, he is one of those readers who care more about the writer than the characters.

It's just fatigue after going through the Aaron storyline and Cates being a fan of Aaron's run.

Yea i don't think he was gonna make Thor unworthy any time soon again, the arc is still gonna revolve around the hammer and i wish the hammer would just do some hammering for a few arcs and we focus on Thor himself.

Completely agree. That’s one thing that I’ll always be greateful to Mike Oeming for in his Thor Disassembled story was taking away Thor’s reliance on Mjolnir. Even though Thor became infinitely powerful with the runes and didn’t need Mjolnir he was still shown that he had been too dependent on it forever.

Another thing that bugs me about how he is portrayed by writers is that he never uses any other powers except lightning.
No tornadoes, hurricanes, storms etc.. this needs to stop and writers ( Cates, as he’s the current writer) need to be more imaginative, end of.

Couldnt agree more. Classic Thor alone was marvel's premier powerhouse, it just seems in earlier issues of Thor, Thor was a thinking fighter who relied as much on strategy...and esoterics... to deal with some of his less physical opponents. And whatever happened to Thor with even some measure of reaction speed? I mean, it stands to reason that someone of vast superhuman strength will be able to over come the bounds of gravity and inertia much more quickly than an average human. Yet, time and again, Thor is presented as "the Slowdinson". I hate that.

Was that a God Blast though?

Agree, too many people think Thor is only capable of throwing lightning bolts at his foes.

I think he would be capable to beat the Champion of the Universe (without power gem) in a fist fight.

Was that a God Blast though?

it's never mentioned if it was godblast
Normally thor goes something along the lines of "i combine my godly powers with the power of the hammer supreme"
Maybe it's a weaker godblast since he doesn't combine anything. Maybe he doesn't need the hammer supreme. It's unknown because we've never seen him use it again and it's not described.

Maybe it's not even a godblast, just lightning
It might just be an entirely new move since it says "thor reaches deep into himself for a strength never fully realized before"

I think it's a God Blast though without Mjolnir directing it.
