It's another nice choice that I liked too.
True and that is precisely the biggest problem, with any of the characters of X-men (heroes or villains) or Spider-Man that problem has never existed and the writers have always done what they wanted but I suppose that is due to their high popularity index that has allowed it for decades, in Thor they never do it and everything is reduced to such a low number of characters and they hardly take advantage of anything (I would love to see being back a book like Journey Into Mystery, that would allow as in the past to take advantage of other characters or create new plots for the main book and we would not always see the same things).
In the Avengers they have already stagnated with the same characters within the team and those that people love the most seem to no longer have space in that book.
With Amora who is as important and as complex as Loki in every way, they never dare and when they do, they do not risk anything, they do not continue forward or return to the starting box and there it stays, that's why for me I like it so much the character, anything that comes out of being a villain, I will always be considered it an improvement and currently I am very tired of the writers being only able to do one thing with her and also humiliate her by facing weaker characters than her.
This is one of the few issues of Thor that I always liked and I think it was DeFalco first issue of Thor after Walter Simonson.
