I don't think this is worth the hate it's getting. We all know male Thor will get the hammer back eventually. Chill out.
It's intentional pandering and ruining a male superhero at the height of his popularity and on the back end of an epic and well written series which is now derailed so that a female Thor story can be told rather than the male Thor fans want to read. It's very much worth the hate, I assure you.
Well first off, you haven't read the story yet.
Similar things were said about Superior Spider Man. SSM didn't turn out to be too terrible. It wasn't great but that's because Slott isn't that great period. It wasn't the holocaust rabid fans made it out to be. Peter's back now and has interesting new challenges to face.
Thor will be back. Aaron is still writing the book. There's a new character fans get to see if they like. If the book doesn't sell well and the character flops then you should have nothing to worry about, Thor will become worthy again in a jif.
This doesn't "ruin" his character any more than Ock possessing Spider-Man ruined Spidey's.
And, out of curiosity, did you become this vehemently angry at DC when they changed Wally's race? And technically speaking, you have no proof this decision was Marvel's and not Aaron's. It's likely that it is, but you have no proof of it.
Finally, at least this change can be reversed. Very easily. Wally's race will never change back.
EDIT: Also, Thor is still around lol. Now we get to see the stories of metal armed axe Thor. The status quo is changing, and that's a good thing. Fans like you demand that the publishers shake things up, and then when they do, you rage so hard that it frightens the publishers into preserving the status quo and reverting to business as usual. I think we should be proud of Marvel for making risky decisions with three of their most prominent characters, while Wolverine is dead no less.
