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?

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.

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.
