Thor #8 Spoilers

[jackolover]

What are we supposed to think about the new Thors mission, purpose, and other importance of spoilers:

Jane Foster

end of spoilers being Thor. Is her mortal failings supposed to be the impetus of some idealist approach to the godhead of the Thor job? I know Odin put Odinson in a position of frailty as Don Blake to join the importance of the Avenger God with the sympathy towards the human condition. Is her story just as important as the Odinsons story? What makes hers different?

The issue itself. Odin wanted not just to reveal the new Thors identity, but to kill her and regain the Hammer so Odin could own it again, because he was jealous that an upstart could own something that belonged and was summoned by Odin, (and accomplished at the Dwarves forge). This is how that went.

spoilers:

The Destroyer, with Cul as the operator, was battling Thor and the host of females on Odins suspects as the new Thor. The Allmother attacks Destroyer and Cul tells Odin this. Odin relingquishes his anger at Thor and orders the Destroyer to fly back to Asgardia and ends the fight. Odinson implores Thor reveal her secret identity, but she refuses. Thor flies home to Asgardia, throws away the hammer and changes into Frail, cancerous, Jane Foster, who vows to help people weak and in need, while the transformations back from Thor to Jane is deteriorating her condition. Her story continues during Secret Wars

Is it weird that I kinda agree with Odin, how can she be worthy if shes lying to the guy, by not telling him her real identity, who created the hammer.

[MindofShadow]

I still don't even understand how Odin cannot lift the hammer. Thor I can get, he isn't worthy for whatever reason, but Odin has always been able ot lift it regardless because... it's basically his.

Anyway

I will be glad when this title goes back to trying to be a great story instead of focusing so much on "OMG GIRL THOR" "OMG GIRL POWER!"

i was rereading my Thor God Of Thunder OHC earlier and noticed a possible seed Jason Aaron Planted. When Modern Thor is chatting with king Thor, later in the story, not long after they first meet, King Thor asks Our Thor 'What he is at the moment' 'Avenger, Guardian of the galaxy' and then he says "are you a Cosmic God Cop yet".

From this, it seems to me, that Aaron has planned the story, in some shape or form, which he is going to tell in the upcoming 'Thor's'

What do you guys think?

at this point i don't think it matters why Odin can't lift the hammer. this isn't Odin's story. or just use the 'its magic' excuse. or, the hammer has a mind of its own. at this time, it chooses not to recognize Odin.

[whiterabbit]

Odin can discover when Celestials are coming from the heavens to vanquish Earth but he has trouble discovering the identity of a woman who's wielding his son's weapon? Bull crap writing. He couldn't send his crows to watch her 24/7, use the Asgardian scrying pools, or ask Heimdall?

It matters. If there is no good reason given by the end, it's not a good story.

Plenty of stories have gone from gold to crap in the last act because of badly reasoned plot twists.
