New Female THOR on the Way

I just don't understand why her name is Thor. Why say, "This is Thor"? I might be looking at this wrong, but THor is his name, not his super hero identity. That's like Falcon becoming the new Captain America, and Marvel saying, "This is not New Captain America. This is Steve Rogers."

I agree with some of the posts, the new female-Thor looks great... but there is not need to defile Thor's character to reach the female audience....

Bring Valkyrie, or Sif to the main stage, or make a new one, but don't defile Thor...

Just my 2 cents

THIS x1000

Why is it always my favorite characters that this stuff happens to?? ...first Wally now Thor. This is some f*%king bs!

Wow this is why most Marvel modern writers are hacks just rehashing the same character in a less interesting way time to go cancel my subscription this generic wonder woman rip off can suck my d*ck

Well.................F**K YOU MANNN " she's now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!”

Which is why 'Betty' was used.

This shall be interesting,i'll give it a chance. Even though i wanted Angela to get an onging.

@unbreakable_fs4: Thanks for sharing my view, it's beyond tactless that Marvel have decided to do this to Thor. That was the only Marvel series I was reading and now I'm done with Marvel since nothing else has captured my interest at all.

Ha ha! You so funny man. Wait, huh, what, is this for real serious? I'm all for diversity, but this is diversity gone too far. This is ridiculous.

Seriously, I foresee my Marvel pull list shrinking to the same size as my DC pull of 1 or 2 books. Thank goodness for Image, more of my money will be going to them.

Hate it. Wouldn't mind if it was just someone else taking up the god of thunder bit, but there can't be another Thor.

Unless Thor had a sex change operation...which would be pretty funny.

Huge Thor fan. But this is just recycled Earth X mumbo jumbo..

First SPOCK,then Logan and now this and Cap,this is hilarious. The big 2 are really desperate.

@lvenger: Tell me about it. Other than Thanos Annual and Avengers (which I'm stuck on issue 18 cause I got bored), Thor: God of Thunder was the only thing Marvel related I kept up with religiously. Well, back to exclusively DC I go until these bums at Marvel get their act together.

Jason Aaron has consistently been putting out good work on Thor: God of Thunder. I have high hopes that he'll do something cool with this concept.

Make She-Thor kiss Jane Foster or Lady Sif, then i'd be interested. No seriously, this is a cheap gimmick made in Marvel.

I wonder if this a sort of knee-jerk response from Marvel to Azzarello/Chiang departing WW and the Finch's making the book less mythological? As if they were thinking: "We need to get those readers craving mythology and female warriors!"

No? Oh well...

(Bet it's Brunnhilde though.)

AAAAAnd now i'm right.
Always was against the alternate versions of any hero,and not we have lady Thor.....

Great.Fantastic.

Angela has ginger hair

Same here. Surprisingly I'm doing the opposite of a lot of New 52 critics. They dropped DC because of what The New 52 did but I'm dropping Marvel for similarly justifiable reasons. I do hope Marvel gets their act together as this is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I loved Thor: GOT for reasons I could list all day and I bought it religiously too. But now this unnecessary reboot and inane gender change is keeping me away from Marvel for the time being.

I hope Thor still has a book because a story based on him dealing with the loss could be very interesting.

I refuse to call her a guys name Thor and it's just too confusing with two of them around. So I'm calling her either She-Thor (She Ra), or Shor.

Also this kind of sounds like the set up for Thor Girl.

this sounds awesome...Aaron has been doing nothing but solid work on Thor since he started so I see no reason to doubt him now

the design is really great as well...I have no complaints at all with it...she looks badass

I'm also going to throw my guess on her identity into the ring and say that I'm betting that it's Agent Roz Solomon

What did Thor do that made him unworthy?

Just

W

T

F?

F--k ya, im going to start reading this book

@lvenger: Completely agree. Speaking of the New 52, I'm currently looking for some new titles to pick up to fill the void left by Marvel lol. Any suggestions from what you're currently reading?

Angela?

That depends, what books are you buying and what do you want to get into?

Surely this is grounds for identity theft? I mean taking up a mantel is all fine and dandy but actually taking someone's first name and job...

This is one word: Stupid. We all know how this is gonna go down, she'll have the hammer for a little below or over a year, then fans are gonna complain that this entire idea is retarded and then they'll bring the REAL Thor back in. It happens with all the superheroes who get replaced (except the flash apparently)

@dernman: That's the only way I might still read Aaron's Thor book. And even if Aaron does have a separate Thor title, I might not read it due to how annoying this dumb move is.

Oh and some press release info hints at it being Thor Girl given statements such as "She created herself to look like Thor." That's a definite hint at Thor Girl.

@lvenger: Completely agree. We're taliking about Marvel here. Tons of female characters in their possesion to promote the female spirit if they want. But moves such as these, ripping off already established characters as males for half a century just for the sake of it, feel cheap and unoriginal.

Maybe she is one of the Woodendottir? Frigg, Atli or Ellisiv?

But I've another Theory...

In origin, Thor was confined into an human begin, Donald Blake. Donald was a mortal that can transform into Thor. Two different person sharing body and essence. This concept has been used many time in Thor life, for varius reasons

But in the first time, Thor was punished for being unworthy, and "imprisoned" in the form of Donald Blake.

Now: Thor will be unworthy + the new female thor IS Thor = Tgor will be declared unworthy and is essence confined into another mortal body? Perhaps not a newly created being, but someone already existing? Maybe someone that willing accept this fate for saving Thor? [Perhaps = Roz Solomon ?]

I know right! That's the type of thing that pisses me off. I would have no problem if she was a new character that had her own story but the fact that she's basically stealing just about everything Thor is flat out ridiculous. This is the same bs DC pulled with the New Wally

Thanks and I share your sentiment. Even new characters like this Ms Marvel title are working well. Create unique female characters and flesh them out, don't slap a woman into a male hero's identity and call it appealing to other genders. It's pointless and derivative by now.

Finally Marvel is doing something interesting with Thor. So what if Thor is going to be a woman. That dosent make the character less interesting. I personally wish that when marvel introduces this female as Thor's replacement tbat they would kill off Odin, ascend Thor to the Throne as King, Power him up and make him the boss on the last stage. That way we can get This female carving her own path as Thor and when a really rainy day comes along and she aint enough. King Thor comes out, shuts shit down. I am Ultimately saying, Make Thor King, make him stay relevant and be respected as the God he is and should really be, this would go well with most Thor fans such as myself. And we can have a new female Thor that can be as relevant as The male one was as an avenger. My opinion.

wait What?

A male character*cough*becoming a female character*cough*seems to be*cough*Loki-all-over-again*cough*a fascinating concept.

This is very interesting. I wonder how this will turn out...

I can not wait this is the coolest thing to happen to Thor in like 10 years.

This ISN'T HOW YOU REACH OUT TO WOMEN, MARVEL. MAKE NEW FEMALE CHARACTERS THAT DON'T SUCK HOW ABOUT THAT. We have been complaining for YEARS about genderbent side-characters, like the only way to make a girl hero popular is for her to be "Super"girl or "Spider"girl or Hulkette or Miss Wolverine, when are you going to get it through your skulls that the way to get us to respect you is to make actual real new characters? You slate Black Widow and Storm and then you give us a reskin of a male character! What the f***? Isn't the fact that this is the wrong way common knowledge at this point? To the point where even you yourself shy away from using it as an example? F***'s sake.

What?

Don't we have Valkyrie, Sif and now Angela for this Marvel WATH THE F@#K. Don't try to make this a god baised concept this is a lame excuse for gender equality. If you wanted to create your own Wonder Woman and an All new all Different Captian America just create A NEW CHARACTER FOR GODS SAKE

Hmmm... does this make any sense? I mean... isn't Thor like a separate being from his human counterpart? I thought that was his deal, that the human part of himself is actually replaced by an asgardian named Thor who has nothing to do with his host so being a man wasn't related with having a male human host but more of being himself a man.
But then again, when Loki had a female host he was a woman for a while so... yeah, who knows, maybe it does make sense. Still sucks and is a horrible idea, but I guess it can make sense?

until the next movie.

@lvenger: What bugs me is the gut feeling that this isn't even Aaron's direction. It's a Marvel directive being pushed for other books or crossovers.

If it does turn out to be her I guess they're going to ignore how her character had ascended to another higher plane.

It's also annoying how they're marketing this as some female feminist thing. It makes it all the more ridiculous.

So what is Thor going to be called now? Why would she even be called Thor? The title she would be inheriting is the God of Thunder. Not Thor. That's his name. Did Wonder Woman suddenly start going by Ares when she became the new God of War?

Also I hope they don't forget that Thor should still have the power even if he loses the hammer. That the hammer only allows people to use his power. I think they will though.

"Captain American"(wait what), Wolverine, and now this. Congrats Marvel. I'm 100% done with this kind of shit.

II for one support the all new, all sexy Thor. Now she just needs the beard *fap fap fap*

I just read it on time it's official. Thor will be female now. Hahaha XD best day of my life.

At least Thor in his original form still exists, he'll get the hammer back eventually. I'm for this. Fans demand changes in the status quo and then when it happens they have a conniption.

And lol at the DC fans leveling criticism at Marvel after what their favorite company did to Wally West. This change can be backtracked, and the old status quo can be restored if this venture flops. The Wally change will never be backtracked, especially with the Flash show including a black Wally as well.
