Thor is currently headlining a crossover into one of the most popular videogames of the decade, he's had 3 linewide events focused on him and his mythos this decade as well, plus he's the only original MCU character to get a fourth movie, if anything, Marvel sees the massive potential Thor has as a character and a franchise, sure he's been on a rough patch thanks to Aaron, but that's because we don't like the direction the story took, not because writers "hate" him. I do think Aaron has some animosity towards the character because Aaron himself is very petty and can't stand any criticism, but Marvel as a whole values Thor quite a lot, he's one of the staple A-listers now.
If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

I think an easy way to look at Thanos stories is that anything written by Jim Starlin, Ron Marz and Keith Giffen is the real Thanos while anything written by other authors should be dismissed as a Thanosi clone.
Well no, i think it was called bioelectric energy or something, which allows him to match his opponents no matter how powerful. As far as Rulk lifting the hammer, it's been established that you can move it in space. He simply used loopholes like that to get his edge.
If you're thinking of someone who managed to copy thor's worthiness, look at awesome andy, who became noble bc of it in the she hulk run

Honestly I don't think the Red Hulk/Thor thing was really that bad.
Red Hulk kicked Thors butt... then in the very next issue Thor came back and kicked Red Hulks butt. People overlook the fact that in the second fight, Thor had Red Hulk at his mercy in literally a hand full of panels.
YOu can knock Loebs writing, but he really didn't job Thor to Red Hulk. He arguably jobbed everyone else to Red Hulk... but Thor overall had a very respectable showing.

That's pretty much why I dislike modern comic writers. They just don't GET it. They just copy older popular stories and try to make it 'theirs'... without getting what made it great in the first place. Daredevil writers are the worst offenders to me. Everyone from Bendis to Netflix has tried to recapture 'Born Again' without 'Getting it'.
Everytime I turn around Daredevil is having his life destroyed, his girls killed, his career trashed, his identity exposed... and its' all just a continous beatdown to make Daredevil a dark, bitter and 'gritty'... But that's NEVER what Miller did. In Miller's world Daredevil lived in a dark gritty world where he kept getting kicked... but he ALWAYS ROSE UP ABOVE IT. Bad things happened to him, but he doesn't lose hope. He's NEVER the guy who goes out at night just to hurt bad people... he's the guy who stands between a drug dealer and the punisher just see he faces the courts...
You can screw with a hero all you want, but you gotta keep that heroic spirit there or the story is garbage.
