Why didn't they do this with superman, aquaman, spiderman, wonderwoman, etc.... YOU KNOW, something they do, or could, OWN.

NO, they decided to do this with a Norse god SO famous and old that he has his own DAY!!!!!!!! THOR! YEAH, the danes have torsdag.("Thor's day") THOR is actually pronounced TOR. HE was the god of Thunder, so Germans call it Donners tag(day of thunder). Of course, english is a germanic language taking from both, so we have THURSday!

But NO, they have said that ALL of history, and the religion were WRONG!. THOR is a WOMAN!

OK, so THAT is how it is going to be? Several thousand years after thor, it is rumored that there was a "......censored.... followers. What don't they make HIM a woman!?

  • Ummm... Steve? Can you back up the claim that the god of thunder was a woman?

    I've never heard this before, and I'm somewhat interested in the topic. Or have I missed something?

    PS: Never mind. I misread the OP. Who did this, and where?

  • Uh, this is my fault, Paul. I referenced it in the Archie thread. Here's a link:

  • From a relative point of view, this is not new at all since they've been making female counterparts for male dominated superheroes. (See Rule 63 of the internet) That explains why the Thor in the movies is so into "Shakespeare in the park? Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?" quote by Tony Stark. She's a woman, really?! And the shiny silky blonde hair... they've been giving us hints since the beginning. But meh, the only female counterpart I'm attracted to is the She Hulk.
  • I'm sorry - all this thread is doing for me is giving me a very nightmarish image of Claude wolfing down a pot of beans, throwing on a flowy Chintz dress and doing a stumbling run after the publication manager in a pair of neon stilettos screaming "PICK ME, PICK ME!".

  • At least one article said this is THE thor! It's fine with me if they want to somehow switch sexes, etc... but they should stick with their OWN!

    • Nope. A different character.

      Don't take it so personally, it's a comic book character. They are all made up.

  • Captain America is now a black guy:

    This storyline makes sense - as much as any comic book storyline can make sense. They aren't retconning Steve Rogers as an African American. The Falcon is taking over for what I assume will be a short while.

    I actually like the idea of the Falcon taking on a more "front of the pack" role. Maybe this will lead to a more with-the-times version of the Falcon. Or maybe they already have. My comicbook zeigeist is stuck in the early '90s.

    • It won't last. Captain America has already died and come back to live, and Bucky was Captain America for awhile.

      Yeah, I know what you mean about being stuck in the 90's with comics. I stopped buying them regularly in the 1980s. It's hard to keep up with the story lines. $4 for a comic book? No.
