The 7 Writing Sins are:
1 . If well written, whispers don't make fearless Asgardians honored warriors stop their fights, Asgardian "religion" is the opposite to that.
2. Thor was Thor before we was worthy of Mjolnir, this was also written by Aaron with young Thor, the way how he give up on his own identity (defines who we are) was not believable, again if well written that is not how Asgardians Gods behave.
3 Odin the All Father and ruler of Valhalla can't be unworthy of Mjolnir, if so the foundations of Asgard and Valhalla are broken, and he also was the one that made the enchantment of the hammer.
4 Odin the Wise All Father of Asgard that gave a eye for wisdom, can't be the stupid antagonist that Aaron is writing, it's not believable that he would ever trust Cul the Serpent again, after what happened in Fear Itself, his motivations don't fit his character core essential elements, he will hunt with the Destroyer who is worthy of Mjolnir? Really? But brings to Asgard who actually kill is son Thor? This is not Odin the All-Wise.
5 Being worthy of Mjolnir doesn't make you Thor, worthy Loki recently in Axis wasn't Thor, even if Aaron goes with the angle that the hammer has Thor life force after being fix by Dr. Strange, when worthy of Mjolnir in Fear Itself Steve Rogers never was Thor or had Asgardian behavior and didn't use Thor Odisnon own expressions, when was establish from Fear Itself until now, that Mjolnir is a character? I think i miss that issue, according to Aaron now every time that a character is worthy of Mjolnir he becomes Thor? Was only this time? What that means in the future to the Original Thor? This also wasn't well written and believable.
6 I also think that is not believable that a human rookie, can use better the Asgardian Weapon Mjolnir than the original Asgardian God Thor, with thousands of years of experience.
7 In this 5 issues Aaron narrative build a female version of Thor, not other original character like Sif with her own personality wielding Mjolnir, was the all point of this book only to change gender? Doesn't this implies that women can't replace male heroes without having their name, identity, personality, glory, powers, weapons and costume? In my perspective this is unfair to female lead, Angela book is great and Sif was great in JIM, and they still were and are Angela and Sif.
Again my points are focused only on Aaron's writing... Tell me where i m right and where i m wrong...
1) That makes no sense at all. And you have nothing to back it up. You have no idea what was said and it's not like Asgardians are mindless monsters that keep fighting until they die... Seriously?
2) It's already been pointed out to you that Odin refused to allow Thor the name Thor in asgard when he refused to stay. So he adopted Red Norvell as his new son Thor Odinson and refused to call Thor by his name. Also when Thor lost to Beta Ray Bill, the very first thing he was going to do was renounce his godhood and go to Midgard,
Hell, Odin stole a buttload of Thor's power and stashed them into the gauntlets and belt so he could make a Thor Backup... Obviously one he had no problem calling Thor.
It's long been established to be both a title and a name.
3) The first part of 3 is nonsense. "if so the foundations of Asgard and Valhalla are broken" is silly. Yes, he made the enchantment, but it's changing. And it wasn't just Thor's power infused into Mjolnir when it was repaired, but all the Odinforce Thor had been given was put into the Hammer as well.
4) Out of curiosity, what do you think his reaction would be after being gone and suddenly Freyja wasn't just backing down from being in charge in his absence? Or his son is no longer worthy of Mjolnir, and there's some pretender running around? He was used to being in charge, he's the All Father, and now so much is different. How do you think he would respond to so much change after returning?
5) I think this is all based on a misunderstanding. Or you're being dishonest. But I'll assume you're misunderstanding. She is not "becoming Thor". She is still the same person, (hence her thought bubbles), but her speech is being augmented to sound more Asgardian. The speech augmentation and added knowledge is what's new, and yes, most likely due to the extra infusion of Thor's and Odin's power, giving it somewhat more of a mind of its own (also why it was able to call to her). This might have other effects later, too, (like curing her cancer). She never called herself Thor before the conclusion of her fight with Thor Odinson, and she was even against it. So this isn't her simply becoming Thor as in the character "Thor Odinson". She is wielding the hammer like the other Mjolnir wielders who were transformed. And at least she had the decency to not immediately call herself Thor, but wait for approval from Thor Odinson (which he has given in the past). So the statement "according to Aaron now every time that a character is worthy of Mjolnir he [or she] becomes Thor?" is problematic. People have been transforming from the hammer for a while. Now the question, "now every time that a character is worthy of Mjolnir and transforms, his or her speech will be augmented by the hammer to sound more Asgardian?" is much more honest and applicable to reality.
Captain America didn't actually transform... And he didn't the first time he picked it up either. So obviously not everybody transforms, even if they pick it up. So that's established throughout Thor Lore. So using Captain America here doesn't apply. As for Loki, he's already Asgardian. And besides, this is all moot because not all changes happen instantly. It could have taken time for the enchantment alteration due to being loaded with more of Thor and Odin's powers. Changes in mutation are rarely instantaneous anyway. Do you have this complaint in every comic where an event takes a long time to take effect?
6) If we're working under the assumption that the enchantment has been altered by the super infusion of a buttload of Thor's and Odin's Power, then it's more of a symbiotic relationship between the two of them, so nah, with the hammer's help she could do quite well. Things don't always have to be static. Things can change as other things change, so a huge infusion of God power may change it. Besides, Loki beat Thor with his hammer as well.
One nitpick though... Thor doesn't have thousands of years of experience... To quote you, "What about you read TGOT? Maybe you could learn that Thor" hadn't yet began to wield Mjonir in 493ad. 1500 years ago, so there's no way he coulda wielded it for "thousands" of years, at most "more than a thousand" but no plural of thousand.
7) Question 1: She's not simply a female version of Thor. Sure she speaks in Asgardian dialect out loud, but lots of people do. Heck, Sif speaks in Asgardian dialect. She's even said "I say thee nay." Just speaking in Asgardian dialect doesn't mean she doesn't have her own personality. She has a distinct personality, but out loud and in thought bubbles. They sound different because of the dialect, but they don't conflict with each other, excepting when times she is surprised she knows things, but that isn't affecting her personality, more like augmenting her knowledge. The separation of thought and speech is a really cool and interesting part of this run. It's kinda neat, especially when she starts out thinking and then continues her inner thoughts out loud, like when she's flying. *Ok, so now I'm flying. But...* "How art thou... Supposed to steer?" And there are times she emulate's Thor, like when she asks herself how Thor would handle something, but that's a personal choice and in no way indicating she's actually becoming the same as the male Thor. And look at when they fought, that wasn't a fight between two of the same people.
7) Question 2: Nope, other men have had Thor's name, identity, glory, powers, weapons and costume without implying anything negative about all men. (I've removed "personality" from the list above because of the whole paragraph about Question 1)
And whoever this new Thor's secret identity is (Jane Foster), she's still herself behind the mask, no less so than if Sif or Angela picked it up, even accounting for her new speech pattern. It's just a different name, one she didn't even pick for herself, and was given to her symbolically.
