Thor Odinson: God of Thunder Appreciation 2021

[jwatson]

also, how can they change their type of God???

it's not like Thor learned thunder and lightning from a book and became God of Thunder

Must have been a vacancy after war of realms. Lol

What i found most ooc was how thor talked to angela despite how she came off. I just dont see thor like that with women. I could be wrong but he was just ready to square up when i think he would have found it entertaining and just be like " thou must do what thou think is right."

in modern times, it would be an insult if he said maiden or woman.

squaring off against female is equality my friend

Lol well i guess freyja did upgrade from the goddess of marriage and fertility to the god of hunt.

Except that it isn't. It really isn't. A good writer could show you that, but that would take work. Better to serve up the "Grrrrlll Powa!" the lazy sister to "Girl Power"

Though i did laugh at the idea that here we are with the goddess of fertility and marriage and her husband has all these kids that apparently arent even hers. She should have been changed her title. The only thing missing from this issue was maury or trisha goddard.

Her title has nothing to do with her husband a good writer could show us that. But Marvel will never show us all the mortals she has helped.

I don't think cates is a bad writer. I think he kind of goes with the flow of others. Like the first 10 issues of thor felt like him, Thor felt powerful despite working for galactus, even certain parts of the donald blake story were strong and felt like thor was being characterized but somewhere it went from him defining thor as his own person and exploring his levels of character and power on the cosmic level to where we are now. It just doesn't feel like where it was going so i'm not prepared to just assume he is a bad writer i'm more just like "what happened".

As far as the girl power feels in it i think issues like this is what can make it confusing. Angela did not come off sounding to thor like a good or nice person and freyja came off as bitter for someone who is suppose to be in a new stage of her life and personally i don't think it's acceptable to take that attitude from anybody male or female but there are ways to handle it without what imo didn't feel like Thor. In the one sense it's like is the implication that because Angela is female she should basically just be able to threaten thor. That would be unacceptable had it been Loki or balder but i don't think Thor would have handled it in the aggressive way he did in the issue. That's just not how i've ever really seen thor when it comes to women, there is an inherent chivalry there but i can get in a world where you were taught to open the door, there can be a sense of confusion when even that is seen as being too forceful because not everyone conceptualizes or interpret on the same level. Like i get it and it's okay to still open the door for a man or woman it's just the nice thing to do, but i can get how someone else can think "i don't want to insult someone"

Nicely put jwatson. I agree. I have no problem with Angela or Freya as characters, but this last issue WASNT it. Its to a point where I hate to see them show up in a Thor story cause you can bet your bottom dollar Thor and Odin will be written like ****. It used to not be like that. They can be shown as strong, capable, opinionated, etc without taking away from other characters.

This run is my first experience with Cates so I've been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but yes this felt like a Aaron written story. I really liked the Galactus arc and the one after but this new arc...idk...I can't get into it. And smh at the fact two of my faves stay stuck in the same cycle of story beats: one is constantly depowered and the other always having hammer problems because no one know how to write them creatively. They both need to throw a huge KRAKA-BOOOOOMMMM at the marvel offices lol

……….They both need to throw a huge KRAKA-BOOOOOMMMM at the marvel offices lol

Someone needs to bring some much needed NEW brain power in there, the “angst writing” typical of the book supervised by Brevoort has run its course

[Frontier]

I'm still just waiting for more back-to-basics Thor that's just him adventuring again and not needing to worry about not wielding his hammer or getting into arguments with the people around him.

[Cronus]

my bet is both Gaea and Phoenix are his mothers.

you know about Laussa???

she has two fathers: Odin and Surtur and yet Surtur didn't really had... you know, with Freyja xd

it will be the same here I bet.

at least that won't destroy eveything.

I really hope that is the case. To me, there is so much for a writer to explore regarding Gaea.

Elder Gods in general are never seen anymore.

maybe once in a year when writer accidentally remembers them and mentions him/her.

[Hypestyle]

where is Asgard now? its own planet? still on earth?

[Frontier]

where is Asgard now? its own planet? still on earth?

It's...somewhere? To be honest I don't remember Aaron focusing on it that much.

[Sunny]

I think its back out in space

[jwatson]

where is Asgard now? its own planet? still on earth?

I think it's still in oklahoma, i know it was in issue 7 i believe.

It is NOT in Oklahoma lol they moved out and turned in the keys a long time ago. He threw the hammer there to test his theory of whether anyone can pick it up and that old dude picked it up and called Tony.
