Oh man. It really is like an off-key cover of Eruption is going off in Cates's head.

Maybe they're trying to give him a weapon like the movie version has.
I'm currently doing a reading order for Thor. I also wanted to follow the spinoff characters/groups too. As far as the groups go, in Asgard, the two main groups that Thor is connected to would be the Asgardians and the Valkyrie right?
saw some image of Mjolnir, who looks feminine(?), while holding itself somehow+God of Hammers being an actual myth or something.
glad I dropped this long time ago.
btw, Happy New Year and Christmas guys/girl!!!
a bit late, Ik

That is what makes it worse.
Dudes just doubling down on a concept that was just used for 4? years.
Completely unoriginal at this point. At least Aaron thought of the idea himself lol
And I still think Aaron's idea was ok just went on for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaay too long
(and at least Aaron wrote Gorr)

I've been enjoying his run overall, especially loved Prey, but this arc feels a bit weird to me as well. It's not "bad" but it's just a bit underwhelming. I was digging the latest issue until the end. Again, it's not something where I was like, "Wow that sucked" it was more just like..."oh."
Perhaps on a marcro scale, but he's done away with a lot of Aaron's signature themes.
He's demonstrated in no uncertain terms that Thor's power rests in him, not his hammer. He wiped away Aaron's look in the first issue, and throughout this arc, we've seen it demonstrated that Thor's confidence isn't tied to his ability to lift his hammer. He surrendered it willingly, something Aaron Thor could never do.
Aaron basically regressed Thor to a Hercules character so that he might relearn humility.
Cates' Thor is a king, who speaks softly but carries a big stick.
Don't get me wrong, his stories ain't great. But Cates has Thor's character down solid, and I'd put good money on him undoing the whole 'motherstorm' that Aaron shoehorned into the hammer in this arc.
It would be fun to find a creative team that could tackle a Thor/Asgard mythos from the perspective of a space-god and not a human, trying to inject humanism into a story about magical beings.
The Asgardians, and especially the Odin/Thor family tree need a more regal injection into their characterization and to stop being presented as "any other family with issues." There are plenty of "accessible" human characters to be able to fill that void.
