Caboose Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 This. This morning on ABC's The View Marvel announced that Thor, Marvel's God of Thunder, will be a woman in the comics. The news is a major shift in Marvel's continuity, since Thor is one of the oldest superheroes in the Marvel universe. The new storyline will launch this October, penned by series writer Jason Aaron. What do you think of this? Good? Bad? Pointless? Fake? Article. (If this is the wrong area, I do apologise.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unease Peanut Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I guess this will go the same as in MMO's... Male armour is super thick and protective, female armour... 'What armour?' Why would they do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Make_Big_Boom Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Sounds like it's just going to be one storyline, and not permanent: like Deadpool kills the Marvel Universe. It's cool with the gender switch though. More heroines for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I don't think it's either good or bad, but this and all the other recent Marvel Comics changes seem pointless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinWarrior Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I'm all for equality between men, women, black, white, gay, and straight and anything in between, but this is stupid. Thor is one of the oldest Marvel characters and one of the most loved, to change him and his entire storyline just to bring in a certain group is as pointless as Wonder Woman turning into a man. You've gotta understand, building a new female from the ground up attracts more people then changing a working formula on a male character, which WILL drive people away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smore1337 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 thors always been male, so why mess with it as the new character when you can just make a she-thor( think hulk and she-hulk.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think it's kinda weird, but cool at the same time. So does this mean a girly Thor now? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONI Agent Locke Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm all for equality between men, women, black, white, gay, and straight and anything in between, but this is stupid.

You've gotta understand, building a new female from the ground up attracts more people then changing a working formula on a male character, which WILL drive people away. This. Someone probably complained about there being no real strong woman in the Avengers, so this was their best idea. Also, Thor is a demigod from Norse mythology. He existed before Marvel. There's artistic liberty, and then there's historical revisionism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
