She didn't beat him. She got him to Jupiter's storm and bloodied his nose. He had her in a chokehold before he left the fight.

Marvel desperately wants the progressive crowd. That's always been the group they pander to. They're so focused on making sure that insanely vocal demographic is happy-happy that they didn't notice their comics turn to shit.

I ask you, anons, what Marvel titles are still in your pull lists?

This he was winning easily! Though it was annoying that she lasted as long as she did.
>>
>>80908022
Not exactly. Hulk got replaced by an Asian, and I think Stark has been retconned to having been Jewish.
I don't follow IIM, but it seems like something Bendis would do.
>>
>>80908104
Pretty much true.

In a one on one fight, Odin always bitchslapped his boy.

Fuck, Thor could barely kill Bor up and Bor has literally no magic powers at all.
>>
>>80908075
The fight was portrayed as Whor doing the most damage
She hits him with Mjolnir to Saturn's moon
He impotently tries to lift Mjolnir
She hits him with a huge rock
He blasts her to Jupiter because Jane needs to look even better in the next scene
She blasts him with a red-spot powered blast
And punches him
Again
And again
And I think a fourth time
[blank]
Odin has Whor by the throat but has to leave because the wife who was constantly belittling him recently has been hurt

It was an extremely shitty showing on Odin's part
>>
>>80908410
>>80908075
>>80908233

Why didn't Odin just draw the Odinsword and bisect Whor?

Odin only holds back against Thor's dissent because he actually loves the boy, why does he not just rip this pretender apart?

Welcome to stories written by people who hate fiction
>>
>>80908452
Because it's Whor's book?
Because Odin is currently a stand in for male oppression and thus cannot actually win or be reasonable or worthy of the hammer he fucking powers?

Or Odin is a skrull and Mjolnir is possessed by Surtur
>>
>>80908466
Bendis said he was going to have an arc about Tony finding out who his real parents are. To me, that just means he's going to be Jewish.
>>
>>80908540
Exactly.

Because instead of having stories, we have events.

Whor is an affront to the Thor books, not because she's a replacement for Thor, but because she is the most offensive kind of replacement.

She's boring. She has no conflict, no unique events, no unique takes. She's done literally nothing of note but hit at Thor's supporting cast.

She is literally useless.

Therein lies the problem with making female feminist comic book characters. They become less about the story and more about female empowerment. It's tougher to take the material seriously when there's an obligation to create mary sues.

rune king Thor was more powerful than odin. but that didnt suit the MU well so he got fixed

She got the drop on Odin since no sane person would attack him and there was no reason for him to expect her to. They were then evenly matched at best when Odin was pulling his punches and Jane was going all out. I know you're bait, but hopefully someone who hasn't read it and sees this will be spared from having an uninformed opinion.

Pretty sure she's going to fight surtur at some point too.

You know, because instead of expanding the fucking Thor mythos, we'll just recycle the villains like typical shit.

I'm expecting the Enchantress to show up and get angsty.

I was so disappointed that JMS nerfed Thor when he restarted the book.

And that he reset everyone's characterization back to the 1960s.
And that Broxton was treated like Asgard hadn't been flying off the coast of Manhattan.

Oh, they seem to care about comics, but they don't buy comics. They only care about comics to the extent that movies can be made out of them occasionally, so they have to make sure that they contain no "problematic" material so they can watch it when it airs on AMC without seeing something that could potentially upset someone that they hypothetically could have known of color.

Marvel Gods follow no fucking logic, they make shit up as the go along and can unmake it just as easily. They're stories that were brought to life, and stories can be edited. /co/ just doesn't like this particular edit (not that they should, just saying; Thor lore is insanely flexible, "canon"is the last fucking thing you should bring up as to why Whor is bad).

Thor comics are literally "make whatever shit up you want" in the first place, that's their entire fucking charm. They're not bound by all that mortal shite.

Honestly, its never been a worse time to be a fan of female hero's if you're a guy

Spider-woman is just pregnancy and new mom shit. Hellcat is a fucking archie comic, She-hulks last solo was basically her being the lawyer for the super community, without doing any supering, Squirrel girl is...i forget i blinded myself after the first issue and have just been going by on Brail since then, and Captain marvel is just space exploration, and blatant girl power, and each one of them seems to go dancing at the clubs every second issue.

Other than A-Force, and black widow non of them actually seem to be fighting crime, hell patsy is a woman in her mid 30's running around like a 13 year old. Meanwhile on the other side of the spectrum you got Spider-man doing a suborbit halo drop in a fucking webbing ball, and Iron Man fighting demons with doctor doom, there seems to be no middle ground between between guys and girls right now.

While back in the time around civil war, She-hulk was bounty hunting, and doing her lawyer stuff at the same time, Carol was leading an avengers team while also being a 2nd in command to 2 other teams, and had a solo actually worth reading, Black widow was still killing people left right and centre, Jessica jones was kicking ass hand in hand with lue, and Spider-woman was working her ass off to make up for a skrull running around as her

One of the most fundamental fucking rules in Mythic Marvel is that the Gods are unchanging characters in stories already written out you fucking stupid shit.

As far back as Thomas, Gruenwald & Simonson writers were deliberately giving vague and contradictory backstories and then lampshading the very vagueness.

Yes, the gods are made of story and contradictory in origin and sometimes nature.

But never at all has Marvel ever hinted that said story is mercurial and as easily edited as it does now with the Loki agent of asgard stupidity.

Simonson was most definitely contradictory on purpose, he specifically referred back to Thomas' version of events and how they were at odds with others but never said they didn't happen. And Gruenwald's goddamn Gruenwald, even if he hadn't picked up writing duties mere issues after Thomas' version was published (which he did) he would have known it all inside and out anyway and understood how the continuity of it operated better than anybody else. These weren't accidental inconsistencies and you do these guys a disservice to imply they were. Why does it irritate you so to think that beings made out of fairy farts and dreams have wiggle room?

Because you people seem to think "magic" is an excuse for shitty writing and shitty interpretations of characters.

The line you need to draw is where you're talking artistic lisense and then trying to apply it as a metaphysical force in the universe.

It's like taking what the Joker says about his past and making it LITERALLY multiple choice.

See, I have no problem with reality being altered simply by "Gitting gud" at magic.

My problem is when it's as simple as writing in a fucking book and not complex series of metaphorical sacrifices or delving into the philosphical firmament.

It's why I really fucking hate new Loki. he just "Does thing" and then BAM, it's done.

It's anti-climactic and a fucking bore.

except Loki had to fucking sacrifice his own original being to become god of stories.

I quite like the "Joker's a metaphysical force" theory.
But yes Joker's a mortal man (insofar as we know), so it's not taken literally. For Thor & his ilk it can be and has been.

>>80913692

He fucking burned. His fucking existence burned because of OldLoki! spell and to avoid his existence being erased he became god of stories.

That's a fucking metaphorical sacrifice on all the fucking senses

But they're CONSISTENTLY bullshit is the thing.
They're in their own little bubble, you won't see Loki teaching that trick to Magik anytime soon.

Female Thor is boring, read a couple issues and dropped it. Anyone paying cash for the book is a sucker or diehard Thor collector/ultra fan. Vote with your wallet, don't like it, don't read it, it will save you aggrivation.

Loki changed his OWN story. As a shapeshifting trickster god of lies it's not unreasonable that he could literally redefine his own existance.
>>
>>80918212

As a Trickster deity, it's his role to remake himself. It's why Loki can do it a lot easier than Thor can.


Having said that, my argument against Whor is that a lot of it is poor storytelling.

Odin, in the current run isn't really a strong adversary. He's not powerful, smart, wise, respected or anything. He's a petty old man

Before the skyfathers made good characters. Even when they were petty or unjust, they did so with a certain amount of majesty and presence. It made them *feel* like gods. When they acted, it had weight.

Look at the fight however. Does it feel like Thor is fighting against all odds? It's someone who's supposed to be the champion of the Asgardians fighting their king, the most powerful of them all. Instead it feels like a sideline, the more epic stuff happening is clearly the rebellion lead by Freyja followed by Loki's "betrayal"

It the end, the fight is a petty little brawl. They're barely bloodied. School yard fights have been fought with more brutality and meaning than that fight.

That is the point. They ARE their little bubbles, you can somewhat shift the ideas of a god around, but the story remains mostly unchanged.

It's like people rewriting books like lord of the rings. It would be close to impossible.

You do know the role of the Horned God historically is to screw with people for their own amusement right?

Loki, Pan, Satan - all variants on the same thing - but one thing they can't do is change who they are.

Mythologists are shaking their heads in shame at you two right now.

The fight was stupid. Since Aaron is just making stuff up, I choose to believe that Jane was going all out and Odin was merely upset. He had a blood nose but that was it. The last panel when Odin had his hand on her kneck I think he was going to take her head off.

The fight was bad. Odin has far more powers than Gor. Gor was strong but that was basically it. He didn't have blasts and things like that. He can't freeze time or seperate Heven from the world-tree when he gets angry.

This is true. After re-reading JMS Thor... it wasn't very good. It had some high points, but it wasn't very good. JMS didn't messed up the lore.

This is totally not baiting and shows just how perfect and better FemThor is over ManThor. This is why ManThor lost his name and the gift his father gave him. FemThor deserves all this and there's nothing you can do about it.
