It's funny because the first issue of Fear Itself had Odin calling Thor a ninny throughout the book. Then he gave his child a whoopin' for talking back.
Do I think he's de-evolved to a pathetic sissy girl? No. I think he's just as hard as he's always been. I don't remember Thor using the full extent of his strength off the bat. Like SC said he doesn't panic and lash out and try to kill. That's not in his character, IMO.
Do I think his characterization is slightly softer as of late? Yes. In comparison to JMS's Thor to current Fraction's Thor...Fraction's Thor comes off like a hippie, just the way he talks and carries himself--though not COMPLETELY different from JMS's Thor [he still has retained his air of "I'm a god, sh!t yourself when you see me"] JMS's Thor was much more serious. Though, I'm not sure if Fraction's Thor was even a factor when this thread was made...the topic seems to be about Void/Sentry, I don't think Bendis did Thor much injustice. To be honest, as bad as many people Siege was I think it would've been much worse if Thor bludgeoned Sentry/Void to death minutes into their encounter. That would've been low-balling Sentry, too...so...
