Thor Odinson: God of Thunder Appreciation 2020

[Intothevoid]

Is this why the whole Black Winter arc felt rushed? Because they wanted to do put it out in time for Fortnite? I swear to god if they made up the whole arc just to satisfy some overrated crappy game i am done with Marvel, why don't they just slap a Coca-Cola sticker on Thors forehead while they are at it.

That's the thing that annoyed me most about Aaron's JaneThor.

In terms of character, she was basically your average Thor. If we hadn't been told Jane was Thor, how would we have known otherwise?

She was a nurse who became a doctor, yet that was never brought up.

She was a mother who lost her child, yet that was never brought up, even when it could have easily slid in with War Thor.

She was a girlfriend and thus target back in the Silver Age, yet that was barely used.

Was Aaron the one who started the cancer subplot? Because that's all that was used, really

I saw the writing on the wall for that before her identity was even revealed. The whole 'Who is the new Thor?' thing was where it went off the rails. Personally, I'm not against the idea of someone else getting the hammer and 'gaining the power of Thor'... but the focus needs to be on the person not the title.

Eric Masterson did it best. An ordinary mortal who suddenly has the power of a god. He was CONSTANTLY questioning himself, trying to live up to the legend of Thor. He gained the power but not the experience or the training. He messed up, fell down, and had to pick himself up.

You can't have a 'mortal gets the power of a god' story without the focus being tight on who that mortal is. And that's NOT what happened here. It was all about her as Thor and being more powerful, better trained, and doing things that the Real Thor never could... and that's just bad writing. Her power up was all encompassing. Heck, I think the What If that gave Jane Thor's power was better handled than what we got here.

Thor has led the Avengers into Fortnite!

I don't play Fortnite but it sounds interesting.

I hope more Marvel characters get more exposure in media outside of comics.

God knows the industry needs it.

That's what i hated about that run. Jane being suddenly the most awesome thing ever despite the lack of experience while Thor is a drunken loser with a potty mouth.

Mighty Thor from 1962 to 2007: How pagan gods would interact and relate to modern humans?

Modern Thor from 2011 to today: Let's just write a bunch of american rednecks with some mythological stuff around them.

I blame the editor, he had the responsability to rein in the writer lame ideas and he did absolutely nothing.

Joe Quesada made the editors more lax. It's a problem Marvel had since 2004.

I'm pretty glad the Fortnite crossover is happening and especially Thor headlining it. This game is huge and hopefully it will attract readers to Cates' run which has been great so far.

Cool video. Pretty nice mix of looks, especially seeing the current design in something other than the comics.

[Frontier]

It's cool they brought back Travis Willingham for this.

So, let me see if I'm up-to-date concerning Thor Odinson -- He currently possesses the Power of the All-Father, the Power Cosmic granted to him by Galactus, and of course Mjolnir -- is that about right?

pretty much.

Does he still have the Power Cosmic?

At the end of the last issue, he looked like regular Thor again.

Idk

he can change his look but I guess he probably lost it all once he used up all of his power on the Black Winter.

Not anymore, he lost the Power Cosmic in the last issue when chanelling it all against Black Winter.
