So wait, does this mean that Thor and Rachel Summers are half siblings? Claremont was on record, but not in the books, that he intended Rachel to be the offspring of Jean and the Phoenix Force from 811. Is this why she could get into his mind easier than others during AvX???
Thor fans have my deepest and sincerest sympathies in these dark and troublesome days. You both did nothing to deserve this misfortune. I would not wish the fire albatross on my worst enemy for fear of them becoming useless and irrelevant.

I wouldn't expect it to last long. I don't see Thor's franchise's mythos being beholden to a separate one for that long
It's not that separate, not really, not anymore.
Since AvX the Cosmic Turkey has pretty much belonged to the Avengers franchise. And Jean basically telling it to F-Off a couple of years ago...that's just the stamp on the relocation letter. It's the Avengers headache and tumor to worry about now.

True.
I don't even see Donny Cates referencing that nonsense in his current Thor run...so it might as well be a non-issue, just Aaron pulling a "Slott" looking to stir up some nontroversy.

What's the fastest that a retcon has ever been undone? I know it's unlikely, but it would be hilarious if Cates immediately severs Thor's ties to the Phoenix in issue #15 or something.
That would be awesome. He's hardly referenced anything happening in the avengers so hopefully he'll ignore it or retcon it. I'm remembering issue 1 he quickly did away with the destroyer arm and eye patch and said said that was Aarons Thor and he want to tell the story with HIS Thor, he can just ask quickly do away with this Phoenix mess.
the thing is, he didn't retcon or even ignore anything.
he had Galactus healing Thor.
it would be a different case if Thor already had an arm and no eye patch in #1 without any explanation.
there are still things he has that Aaron created over the years (Odin retiring, Heven, Angela, Heimdall's death etc).
the latter 3 are just bad.
So wait, the Phoenix is now Thor's mom??
How does this even work?
Like...how exactly does this even mesh with what's come before?
The Thor that should be the son of Odin and the Phoenix Force is Red Norvell Thor, not Odinson Thor (son of Odin and Gaia).
