[@Damienx247]

What I want, more than Thor regaining Mjolnir; is for Thor finally that tapping in to the power of the storm he's always had. More than a few times in the comics, Thor has been able to generate and summon lightning, manipulate the weather, and at times flied without Mjolnir. I want him to go on a journey of discovery, to find himself, and ultimately, make his own damn hammer, made of electricity.

[@Damienx247]

@@justincruz5720 I felt that there were too many jokes at Thor's expense, along with having poor placement, particularly after Asgard explodes. His longtime friends died with little impact, which is why the actress who plays Sif didn't even bother signing on. Finally and this is a nitpick, but Bonnie Tyler's "Holding out for a Hero" or Sabaton's cover of "Twilight of the Thunder God" should have been the final battle theme instead of playing Led Zeppelin again.

When I was younger I was really into Paganism and used to idolize Thor. Comics Thor was different but, I dunno. I thought the idea of Thor being a super hero was always a cool idea. He's always been my hero. Seeing writers shit on him like this infuriates me.

[@freddieawsome1]

9_Bucks For me, it was the fact that they took away his name that gives me a sour taste in my mouth when I read Lady Thor. She is worthy, she has Thor's powers, but she's not him. Anyone can be Captain America, Superman, Batman, etc, because those are titles that can change hands, but that doesn't mean you take the actual names of those people, it was so stupid of the writers to think they could do that, in an otherwise really good story.

Thor Odinson is the only true Thor. If thor had given his powers to her and she was her own thing, she would have been received better. Instead they choose to have her steal Thor's first name. Thor isnt a title, its his damn name. It came off as them stealing his identity. People defend True Thor because they want to protect him from losing who he is. She isn't bad, she would have been better as a new wielder of mjolnir coming up with her own name and being presented as a next generation rather than a usurper of Thor's name.

Well... Odinson IS Thor. Thor is a male north god who can invoke the thunder. That's what the story has been for thousand of years. That's the mythology. Thor is not a mantle, it's a person. So, yeah I don't see female Thor as anything else than a kind of fun twist for a short time.

I don't think most people dislike like Jane with Thors power, they dislike Marvel attempting to make Thors name a title that one can just claim.

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

You're correct. By claiming Mjolnir and that should mean being worthy not just exempt from its restrictions you are claiming the power of Thor. That doesn't in itself make you Thor. It gives you comparable powers and probably a good character reference. Everyone who has ever claimed Mjolnir has had to be accepted and just having the weapon wasn't enough in itself. Beta Ray Bill, Red Norville, and even Thor Girl weren't called Thor just because they were worthy and had Mjolnir in their possession. It seems to me that they are working with an outline of what they want to achieve and are filling in the gaps rather than letting the setting and characterization define the story, but given that these vids are as much as I know about the subject I could easily be wrong. I also object to Thor calling himself the Odinson. Try picking up a book on Norse mythology and maybe use an alternate name such as Donar from Germanic mythology instead would make sense, but I doubt he would call himself the Odinson. First off, he isn't the only son of Odin and it really doesn't seem like something one would self title themselves with in his position. He isn't proclaiming himself the heir, but quite the opposite stepping back because of being unworthy. They really could have put more thought into this story as a whole if the details are so sketchy.

"A lost ball in high weeds" I've never heard that before. I learned a new thing today.

[@sofiamatos8297]

Thor was named before he picked up Mjolnir. It's his first name. No one was called Thor when they picked Mjolnir before Jane. Not Steve Rogers, not Beta Ray Bill, not Loki. There is no reason why Jane should be called Thor unless it is to put that name on the cover of the comic.

[@CrucibleBlack13]

Eric Masterson was called Thor for several years, Tarene was Thor Girl, and early on Beta Ray Bill was sometimes referred to by the alias Beta Ray Thor. We all know the Thunder God's true name is Thor Odinson. The only reason Jane took the name was because Thor personally gave it to her as a symbol of her connection to Mjolnir. She didn't technically have a name at the time because she was keeping her identity secret. Relinquishing his name was a choice. A gesture for a specific moment, not a title that automatically transfers itself to everyone that picks up the hammer.

[@darkstorm08]

.....this was the best comment about the topic ive read so far ....... no one if flipping off and crying over female CapA or IM but this one seems to get under everyones skin .... but your comment put it in perspective that yes "thor" is just a title but it is also his name ... and he passed down not only his powers, and hammer but also his name to her because of Mjolnir and the choices he made in what Rob is making it seem (since im not reading the comics) that he was on sabbatical ..... wow thanks

[@CrucibleBlack13]

True enough. Thor is the Odinson's name and not a title by default. Yet the opening post of this thread is incorrect in saying "No one was called Thor when they picked up Mjolnir before Jane." One can call it what they will, yet a portion of Thor's spiritual essence is bound to that hammer and in this situation Jane has taken up the mantle. Thor respected her desire for anonymity and passed the name on as a symbol, so those who threaten the 9 realms would not forget Asgard's champion remains. People act as if this is some outrage. This isn't exactly the first time this has happened. It isn't the first time Thor has been found unworthy. It isn't the first time a man or a woman has lifted Mjolnir. It also is not the first time a man or woman has used Thor's name while assuming the role of Thunder God. Eric Masterson called himself Thor for years and nobody got bent out of shape like they are with Jane Foster. Tarene took on the title of Thor but simply tacked the word "Girl" at the end. Anyone who has picked up a Thor comic, and followed this character's lore over the years, understands this is nothing new and par for the course when it comes to the evolution of comic book story telling. We all know Thor is destined to be King of Asgard and the Odinson will get his hammer back someday. This story won't be permanent. Until then we get a chance to see through the eyes of one of the most important people in Thor's life and how she handles the responsibility of being an immortal hero... while battling with her own mortality. It's also a chance to see how the Odinson stands strong without leaning on that hammer. With all its power, even Mjolnir is but a tool and the son of Asgard does not need to rely on it. He is still the 'Thunder God' after all.

I guess i hate change , but enough time has passed that i have to admit that Jason Aaron is an amazing writer , as well. I stopped collecting about 15-20 years ago & after reading some of the newer Thor stories , i gotta tell you , it's been a number of years since it was this good , if ever.

[@davfree9732]

I'd like Thor back. The original Thor. I don't mind Jane being Thor but the writer of her arc failed to properly address alot of issues with how she came to be Fem Thor. 1. Jane appropriated Thor's name. Frankly I'd rather have seen her make a name for herself as the wielder of the hammer. 2. Jane doesn't act like Thor. Which is the point of ANAD... but she lacks Thor's honor. If Jane was the real Thor, she'd be looking into why Odinson lost his worthiness and see if she had it in her power to restore him. 3. If Thor isn't worthy... Why is Jane? Never addressed. 4. The writer didn't trust the readers to accept Jane as Thor and pulled a 'mystery box' story arc to pull people into reading her comic. Again... why is Jane worthy and Thor not? I'd rather read her origin story instead of leaping in and running where the real Thor left off. 5. Marvel's attempts at representation have been... to be fair, a mixed bag. Mile's Morales as Spider-man, Kamala Kahn as Ms Marvel after Danver's accepted the name Captain Marvel, X23 taking Logan's mantle and carrying it on... Amadeus Cho becoming the new Hulk and the way he treated Bruce Banner like family afterwards... All great examples of moving new characters into the role of new heroes that played out before our eye's. The writer's trusted their readers to accept change as it happened... I don't feel like I was trusted to accept Jane as Thor by Marvel due to them having a weak story to support her transition. The story of Jane being Thor has legs... But she's the Thor Marvel needs, Not the Thor the fans deserve.

[@Crazedviewer]

Dav Free well written. It also didn't help with Jane Thor's first few issues were very heavy handed on feminism, and how the readers "just couldn't accept a female Thor". As you masterfully stated "The Author didn't trust it's readers to accept her"

She may have good stories since then but that intro to her character was just too much. I don't expect anyone to come out of that 12(?)-14(?) issues without hating her guts.

[@ronpetersen2317]

The primary reason she gets "hate" is because She isn't Thor. Thor isn't a position, superhero name, secret identity, mantle or anything like that. It just is his friggin' name. Give her a different name and it would have been fine. I mean wouldn't you see it as weird senseless to have someone named Jane Foster using your name and calling themselves Elijah Powell? The hammer says whoever wields this, hammer be they worth, shall have the power of Thor. Not Whoever wields this hammer will have the power of Thor and Thor no longer has a name, The wielder will have there name changed to Thor even if it is a female that now has a male's name. Sorry the writer is just an idiot. They aren't upset over the controversy of gender flipping, it just is stupid and makes no sense in any conceivable way.

[@dariquewarren]

+Jake Sangria I question those readers' reading comprehension and reasons they really hate it. it's like we're not reading the same thing. the name thing is annoying and isn't really addressed. BUT few stories exist without one or two moments/plot points/side characters that are weird out irksome. I'm heading more people hone in on the name thing then the quality of the story. this story is swag. it's finally something other then ragnarok related bs raising the stakes in asgard. this reminds me of superior spider-man. I LOVE that shit BUT Anna Marie was a shit character and mad distracting for me. alot of ways that aspect could have been written better. I still take time to make arguments of substance about it. I'm curious about what the vehement anti - Jane fans feel about the story. roxxon helping malekith? Odin putting freyja in prison? Loki actually having depth? malekith ruling the both elf clans? the list goes on. I'm irked because the most substantial arguments I've heard are 'Thor is a name' and 'feminist rhetoric'. both are negligible issues in the story overall especially since the cancer thing let's you know this is an arc and not really the new Thor. and the most feminine lecture thing i noticed was freyja arguing with odin which is like her only character trait so... are we reading the story or does the story not matter as long as a chick is wielding mjolnir? if it's the latter my opinion is i don't give enough of a fuck to let one minor detail ruin a whole arc for me. sorry, I've been holding this rant in for a week now

By "small subset of people", you mean women? 'Cause last time I looked, there are A LOT of women in the world. It's 'catering' to tell stories that feature women. It's being a good storyteller. Fanboys really need to grow up about their sensitivity to change. Let artists evolve and let their grow. All the stories get stale sometimes. This is good for the writers. If you actually love comics as an art form instead of as some kind of nostalgia-with-a-fortress around it, you might be able to enjoy both stories. I was riveted, just hearing them described. They're playing with their own mythology, and it's way more interesting. The older stories are still there. This doesn't take anything away from them. Let the artists decide what they want to do with the work. Stop pouting. If you don't like, don't read it, be grateful for all the years you had.

the writing is poor, the asspull of Thor being a title could have been accepted if done better, thors loss of worthiness shouldn't have been effectively off screen and never developed, the revelation of Jane could have been better lead up to. even though the writing is good now imo post secret wars (or maybe I just like it because other titles are so bad atm...) I can appreciate that some people have already made their mind up, even if I think they're missing out All new all different is disliked because it's all stuff from before and it's not new. They introduced and brought back a plethora of new characters of mixed degrees all very well designed for new avengers and they were developed well because well...

The mighty thor is the first comic i ever picked up, with the start of the god bomb series. i love jason arrons run! jane foster is good in the middle of a greater story piece. i feel that people hatin on her, sayin thors not a title, blaa blaa blaa. odinson gave her the name temporarily. i feel like their looking at the big picture, haters gonna hate. good job on the video Rob! keep'em comin

[@greatsayain]

how can people say Jane stole the hammer. it's main characteristic is that it can't be stolen.

[@leonardcasiano]

I agree Rob , it's a really awesome story! beautifully done!😉

[@TheDarkchylde]

This is a case of the writer feeling he is bigger than the reader. Female Thor created, not to gain readers but to make headlines. If we want diversity, then create original characters of different genders and ethnicities.

[@TalonBlades]

Thanks for the pic of Eric Masterson at the end!

[@TheSchism-y7p]

I want two Thors. like how we have two captain Americas

[@crixonwarrior413]

Technically Beta Rey Bill is a Thor (same powers). So....

[@BigaloMax]

Crixon warrior don't forget eric masterson-thunder strike

[@linkstering]

Emmanuel Ani and now apparently two iron men.

[@BigaloMax]

Marcus Hall 3 sinse riri and doctor doom. then again riri is calling her self ironheart (since marvel couldn't secure iron maiden from the band)

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

Yeah but Bill doesn't steal Thors name. He's classier than Jane.

[@renzventura9123]

dude i don't know why but i watched 6 of your videos and this is the 7th great vids man and very well explained

[@Jirodyne]

To answer you're question about who I like more, I like Thor better. Because there is only ONE Thor. As someone else pointed out down farther in the comments, read the 'Spell'. "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." 2 things on that. First, HE, not SHE. I know it changed without any reason, but it should NOT have changed. It was a SPELL/ENCHANTMENT placed on the hammer. There should NEVER be a female Thor. Not to be sexist or anything, but because that was how it was SET by the Lore, it should not be changed. Second is the last bit of the spell/enchantment. Possess the POWER of Thor, not BE Thor. Picking up the Hammer, should never turn someone into Thor, or an Asgardian looking person. They should look the exact same, just able to use the powers of Thor instead of being mortal. So 'Thor Odinson' The original true Thor that doesn't transform when losing the hammer because he IS Thor, is the one and only Thor. Others can take his powers, but there is only ONE Thor.

[@adityaagarwal6640]

jirodyne so a girl can't be Thor cause of what the writing says? That's ridiculous. It only said that bc the first person to wield it was a guy. I doubt Odin cared if a guy or girl picked it up bc why would he? Also, the writing changed because Jane picked it up. If a guy picked it up, it would go back to he. There's literally no canon reason why a girl can't be Thor.

[@TheTheDontae]

jirodyne it's fiction they can literally do anything, as long as the stories are coherent and well receive and despite the Internet having a bitch fit there are fans of this new direction with the Thor.

[@Jirodyne]

Amazing Zero That's kinda a failure of humanity. If a game has bad story, it's hated and rarely touched. Movie? same thing. Books, Cartoons, every other form of media it's the same thing. What's more, it's very hated upon if they change the 'established' Lore, or break it. Comics however, is different. It doesn't matter if the story sucks, it doesn't matter if they change it, negate stories, rewrite it. As long as it's the same characters from 80+ years ago, people don't give a shit and will love it. And yes, I know it's Fiction, but it still needs to follow LOGIC in the LORE that they set. You don't write something on a piece of paper, then years later someone else holds it and suddenly the words change on the paper. That wouldn't make sense, as it doesn't follow logic. Even spells and magic, especially Asgardian Magic, still follow rules and logic. As Thor put it, the Asgardian's 'Magic' is just very advance Technology. A 'Spell' that has been working 1 way for many many MANY years, will not suddenly just change without reason. Also yes Aditya, that is EXACTLY what I am saying. Make a new hammer, make a new hero close to Thor, or someone from a different set of gods to be based on, and have them be female. But why change THOR into a female? How about, if in Starwars, they had a female dark side user put on Vader's suit and started calling herself Darth Vader. So then Darth Vader is Female instead of Male? This is the SAME thing. and if Lucas ever did that, Everyone would hate on Star Wars. Why is it acceptable HERE to break the lore and change things, but in other forms of Media it's bad story telling and hated?

[@TheTheDontae]

***** The only "internal logic "for comic books is that the internal narrative keep going they have been rewriting and restructuring the "rules" of the universe for decades. The only thing that's changed now is social media has become more aware and can a voice their opinion's directly to writers and artists through email and Twitter. Both Marvel and DC have been gender swapping changing secret identities changing power said changing over names titles it happens once every 5 to 6 years this isn't any thing new... Tony Starks has been transformed into a woman Tony Starks been replaced by his teenage younger self Price DC has an entire parallel universe with gender swapped characters. The establish lore for mainstream characters has been recon destroyed replace and then re-introduced at a later time. There is no establish rules for magic in comic books between Marvel and DC more or less it depends on what the writer wants to do I'm not even joking magic can work one way for entire series and then you get written over later. Thor hammer has change Dr. strange ability to control magic has changed swap things involvement with in the DC universe has changed. The only rules that exists belong to the editor and chief and the writer, A female character being named Thor that is Thor isn't anything new that happened during secret wars. I don't know what your current tenure is with superhero comic books but Marvel and DC do not necessarily care they're both multimillion dollar companies with $1 billion partners to back up all of their financial decisions.

[@mtgleader]

Dr. Strange and Enchantress did battle one he lost

[@nicolykid]

I loved this art!

[@razeal1988]

I prefer Odinson but she is a great character and many people really do hate the fact that the new Odin is a woman, I personally dont give a damn long as the story is good.

[@codecatx5]

Always gonna be the Odinson. He's the OG and regardless of how long he's been around there are still great story's to be told of him.

[@eddiee8478]

Thor Odison forever!!!

[@AlisterTate]

coming back to this after the SDCC2019 announcement of Jane Foster Thor. Personally pretty intrigued to see how Marvel Studios interprets the events leading into Jane Foster Thor and Unworthy Odinson. Also really just hoping that we finally get Beta Ray Bill.

[@themadtitan7603]

Same here

[@DukeMadison]

Came back after the love and thunder movie

[@kevinedie1007]

In the end Odinson will be back I just hope that Marvel keep Jane Foster giving her Thunderstrike or something similar

[@azurebeast10]

Kevin Edie only with a power-up...Thunderstrike mace is only half, maybe, as powerful as Mjolnir...also I think it was absorbed by Masterson's kid...unless that changed

[@MugenNiFukuzatsuna]

I like them equally but I love what they are doing with Jane Foster Thor, so I want them to keep going with her.

[@shadowstorm79mc]

plot hole around 8:17 little known fact about chemotherapy is it only has a 3% success rate the reason why it's administered so much is because doctors get a direct kick back on chemotherapy medication it's one of the only medications they get a direct kick back from and they just forget to tell them about the low success rate in medical school they wouldn't know that unless they did their own independent research que the star flying across the screen saying the more you know

[@draskang]

BigBlackGWAR "although chemotherapy appeared in many cases to successfully kill tumor cells and temporarily stop the growth and spread of cancer, the treatment ultimately failed to prevent new tumors from forming" What the article says is that chemo may no prevent cancer from _continuing_. That doesn't mean it isn't successful at destroying existing cancer cells, & therefore saving lives.

[@BigBlackGWAR]

Draskang Unless chemotherapy can COMPLETELY cure you, your life is not saved by it. It is nothing more than a stop gap measure to keep you in perpetual treatments.

[@draskang]

BigBlackGWAR Who ever said anything about a cure? The purpose of Chemo is to give people more time to live. That has _always_ been the purpose. Any Dr will tell you that. Saying that is has a 3% success rate because some idiot decides to label the only possible "success" as total cure is nothing more than a straw man,

[@Max_Money_AWA]

Thor Odinson is the one and only Mighty Thor. She may wield Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor, at the moment, but she is still Jane Foster. A cancer ridden human being, and not the son of Odin and Prince of Asgard.

[@Max_Money_AWA]

The stories written with the name Thor are good, but the title should be Holder of the Hammer of Thor. To be clear, I am not a fan of the Iron "Man" either. How can a teenage girl be a man exactly?

[@lucaslacruz4334]

All new all different marvel feels like a bunch of teenagers writing gender bender fanfics and having them published as legitimate comics

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

I can't get over the massive tumblr vibes at Marvel right now. And those shitty slice of life Caltech art style comics drive me nuts.

[@thefurrybastard1964]

There's a reason for that

[@zetarise9376]

If you're talking about the archie style comics which have existed before Tumblr was ever a thing, I don't see why you need to complain about them, you're not the target audiences and many love that art style.

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

***** Nigga I read Archie, I love Archie. SOL stories are some of my favorites. I'm not talking about those.

[@zetarise9376]

Then I don't understand the problem, Hellcat is the one of the titles many hate due to its art style for some ignorant reason. Are you talking about the original art for the first issues of Uncanny Avengers? Because in the end, there are multiple artists, many of course have their own styles.

[@SaMXTeck]

I love it, there's some change that makes us want to read again

[@clintbrightwell97]

I feel like the Jane Foster Thor storyline should've been a separate "what if" story or something, not part of the main continuity. It's an interesting concept, but Thor has been around for thousands of years and has earned the title of thunder god.

[@jakeborunda8125]

AMAZING!!!! Please do more on THOR! :-)

[@chadwickhjones]

Jake Sangria I'm the furthest from a minority, and I love what they're doing with the diversity.

[@chadwickhjones]

Jake Sangria Firstly, you don't have to be a SJW to appreciate diversity. Secondly, like in all things, there are no absolutes. Some SJWs and actions thereof are fine. Lastly, no, they don't ruin everything.

[@chadwickhjones]

Jake Sangria Quality is not constant in anything. Nobody is forcing you to read Jane Foster as Thor, and it's a comic book. It can't hurt you. Even some who fight at the behest of social justice didn't like the new Ghost Busters. I haven't seen it, and I don't plan to. Not because it stars women, but because it stars women as tokens (I love the four actors). Go watch ComicBookGirl19's video about GB. Hopefully you don't mind that she's a girl with a strong opinion?

[@patrickjennings8116]

I love the pic of ThunderStrike at the end. That is basically what Jane Foster Thor is going to become after OdinSon resumes the mantle.

[@eddefy22]

I like Jane foster and her story, but the orginal Silver Age Comics are special. You just can't wipe out THOR. Sorry Jane , bring back Odinson and make hime Thor

[@eddefy22]

That goes for Wolverine, Iron Man and all the Silver Age guys. Im ok Carol Danvers as captain marvel, becuase she was Ms. Marvel/Warbird for so long. Jane Foster didn't bother me so much, becuase she was character for so long i was ok with it.

[@justunderreality]

I think you've touched on a good point. The question shouldn't be "who do you like more?" because the answer will always be "I know the original better... and I relate to them better, therefore I like them more". The question should be "Do you think the new stories will be able to captivate us in the same way the old ones did?"

sam mortazavi Not enough, he's been ignoring me. ;__;

[@Max_Money_AWA]

Holy wow! It makes sense now!!! Thor knew that Jane was dying. He has always had the doubt that he was possibly unworthy. With Jane's impending death, Thor has even more doubt because of his love for her. It is the sentient aspect of the hammer that is using this to give Jane his powers to do good so Thor, and all the realms, will never forget and sing her praises for all time. That is brilliant!!

[@toddhobza]

ComicseExplained you should REALLY do a video about Eric masterson as Thor and how he became Thunderstrike! too few uneducated thor fans know nothing of that situation and don't seem to understand it's relation to the Jane thor series.

"Aren't you tired of reading the same old Thor. We're doing something new." Jason Aaron, are you fucking kidding me? So he's the one who does something new and shelves Thor Odinson for the first time in 40 years, uh? Thunderstrike, Beta Ray Bill, Deconsecrator, Frog Thor ... nope it never happened. We NEVER had at a point of the history of this character someone else taking the mjolnir. Only Aaron had the balls to do it, aight! This is sad. As a long time Thor reader. I'm tired of those fake excuses. We all know why they created this controversal version. And it backfired as it should've. They could've given the hammer to Jane and a name of her own and people would've calm down by now. But NOoooo. They needed a controversy and they needed to pander to the SJWs. Nothing is more controversal than looking at a fandom who knows that "Thor" is not a title and a woman's name and tell them "You better like it cuz change and womynz." As a woman I feel insulted by that stunt that can be translated as such: "Being a superheroin is only interesting If the woman in question is presenting herself to world hidden behind the name of her male conterpart. You, women who love femenizing aspect of yourself don't get it. What you should do instead it's being women who show themselves in the world with a man name like we did with Jane. She didn't even choose the name for herself but that's alright cuz feminism That's our version of female empowerement. Now buy our comics or you're sexist. Sincerely, Marvel" I thought they were about to pull the same non sense with Iron Man but hey Riri will luckly be herself. Iron Heart; I like that. That's a fucking luxury these days. Thor Odinson is the only Thor and again it's sad that I have to say that because I read the first run hoping they would give an explaination to make sense of it, respect this universe's lore and fix that stupidity. Instead I got reminded that oh yeah we also want modern feminism to be part of this story so here's a cringy line folks as a reminder. I don't pay for this, don't validate these dumb choices guys or you'll get more.

[@byronbostick4310]

this video was the truth. Rob, you're the best.

[@PorterPickUp]

His name is Thor not Odinson...

[@PorterPickUp]

FundamentalPhysicist Oh im aware of the wanking necessary for Marvel make it so. In Mythology his name is Thor.

[@harnischfechter]

The inscription on the hammer only says that the worthy wielder shall possess the power OF Thor, not become Thor. Throughout the years there were many worthy of wielding Mjollnir (Beta Ray Bill, Steve Rogers, Terene Eric Masterson, even Wonder Woman and Superman) but never did any of them claim their name is Thor just because they've managed to lift his hammer. Masterson after being separated from Thor called himself Thunderstrike. Odinson is simply a patronymic meaning literally "son of Odin". The whole "it's not a name but a title" mess has been introduced quite recently along with all the other sh*t like Odin's third brother, Angela being Thor's sister, Odin being unable to control Mjollnir etc. It's simply a result of inconsistency and lousy writing.

[@ranwolf76]

Actually Odinson is his name, his surname. and it's been that way pretty much for decades

great explaination, but why the slow pan of eric masterson/thunderstrike at the end there?

[@ABombIsCool]

I'm fine with the idea of all this female superhero shit, and showing that women are as good as men, I just hate it when they have to point it out, like you want it to be normal but you keep fucking pointing it out, when they say "women power" and shit it's annoying, just let it be normal, you don't need to point it out

[@VanVeniVidiVici]

Soooo by not pointing it out you mean not reflecting it in media?

[@T.K.Fischer]

Jason Aaron is incapable of writing a female character without putting “women power!” in giant neon lights all over the place. He did the same thing in Star Wars when he came up with Han Solo’s ex-wife, who is nothing but a female Han Solo who is better than Han Solo at everything Han Solo is supposed to be good at.

[@VanVeniVidiVici]

Soooo don't write anything putting women at front?

[@T.K.Fischer]

Soooo don't pretend that writing women badly and not writing them at all are the only options available. Do you have anything constructive to add to the conversation, or are you just going to conflate "criticism of specific characters" with "criticism of all fictional women everywhere?"

[@VanVeniVidiVici]

But if we're supposed to pretend that having women on equal footing with men is the norm in literature, is pointing out that we're doing it wrong constructive and not counter-productive?

[@TIGER-xk4gk]

[@XimGama]

It's a weird feeling, but I don't like Jane Foster as Thor, nor Laura as Wolverine. Jane could have gotten the hammer without taking the Thor name, she could even had the armor and all, but I have never liked the idea when other characters (being male or female before anyone goes ranting on me) take on others identity when they could shine on their own. For example Laura was cool as X-23 with the black outfit, now as Wolverine it just doesn't feel right, same with Jane, brave enough was watching her battle cancer, then she could have gotten access to Mjolnir and the powers, but without taking the name. I mean if it will be "all new, all different" then do it so, if don't leave the original characters as they are.

[@XimGama]

I will try to keep that on my mind for Thor, maybe I'm being to hard on this. For the mantle with Dick was temporary in the Batman R.I.P. and later since it backlashed on the sales horribly on the long run, people wanted Bruce back. The only other Batman that has gotten the mantle and keep it's own hype has been Terry with Batman Beyond. Althoug personally I love Dick as Nightwing, as Batman not so much, but I do agree his time as Bats did contribute for the series, just my thoughts though.
