that is just not important
It's a good thing I don't care about any of this

Thor is also not real, so why would it matter if they mixed it up a bit?
It really all depends on how they use this and if there's a decent reason rather than just "Hey, a female!".
[QUOTE=Wii60;45397788]she looks cool to me
then again im a sucker for girls with cool armor beating up evil things[/QUOTE]
Dunno if this is worth anything, but I liked Sif WAY MORE than Foster in the movies. Not enough screen time aswell imo.
I'd be alright with this if they weren't doing it just because of "WE NEED STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS YOU CHAUVINISTIC PIGS". This just looks like they are just bending over to someone else's will.

A hollow argument?
I don't understand your way of thought.
Naming a girl Thor is ridiculous.
Well at least it couldnt be any more of a mockery of our heritage than the god-awful male character was.
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;45398556]the best part of this is that a black woman finds the hammer and turns into white lady thor
so clearly the most powerful version of a black woman is a white woman[/QUOTE]
srs?

The same reason why chain mail bikinis provide +5 damage resistance in all of fantasy.

Thor has been a frog and a horse from space, but a WOMAN? WELL then, that's just too out-there and crazy
I thought Tarene already existed.

I don't think there was a news article on Facepunch about those other two.
Looks like Beta Ray Bill has a love interest now

I eagerly await the fanfic.

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;45399606]Thor has been a frog and a horse from space,[/QUOTE]
Those are two different characters who exist along side Thor.
See the problem is not that "thor is a woman" the problem is "thor has been replaced"
I wonder if this will be from the fallout of the 10th realm event.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;45399518][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MXqhpA0.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]
I think its more the sudden change over, then again, the new story hasn't be released.
If she replaces the old Thor in a comfortable way, which would by trial or by beating the shit outta Thor, I think it'd be fine since the Hammer makes Thor, not Thor making the hammer.
If its just like, OH WE'RE CHANGING EVERYTHING TO FEMALE TO STAY RELEVANT then I can see the gripe.
cant have a vagina in my comics
[QUOTE=mchapra;45399981]cant have a vagina in my comics[/QUOTE]
I thought these comic books were supposed to be coated in vagina repellent
USELESS
[QUOTE=Tacosheller;45397840]She doesn't look, I dunno, rough enough? Like, she still seems to fall into the problem most comic book supergals do: her entire costume and body is based on sex appeal rather than practicality. She should be buff, with [I]real[/I] armor, like an actual Asgardian warrior would probably be.[/QUOTE]

looks like marvel found the gender bender machine
DC master race
This is amazingly stupid. Why fuck with a older character and instead just make a new one?
Like I imagine Thor, Spiderman and Ironman sitting at a table, cartoon smoke comes in and suddenly Thor's a chick and the Ironman starts hitting on her while spiderman takes photos.
Jesus christ Iron man really is going to hit on her isn't he.
Edit: Wait I misread the post, so it's some girl who walks up picks it up and goes "yup I'm thor now"?
Ironman statement stands.
i see nothing wrong with this
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;45399842]The female-Thor isn't a genderbent Thor. It's some random chick who finds Thor's hammer.
It would be okay if she just had his powers, but no, she has steal his name too. That's disrespectful.[/QUOTE]

Wait. So if I get hold of the hammer I automatically become Thor? Sweet deal!
Maybe Thor got distracted by that god-awful armour while she stole his hammer.
Does anyone know where this chick lives?

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;45398586]Spiderman did this briefly right before a more important sequel came out, so realistically it's probably them pandering to fans. (Case in point, they announced this on the View). Whenever Age of Ultron drops they'll make him manThor (if it hasn't happened by then)
It does have potential to be pretty cool, though. What if there was a concurrent series going on where we followed a now (more or less) homeless Thor who doesn't have his hammer or really any claim that he's actually THOR. Would he still be an Avenger? Who knows.
People have passed themselves off as Thor before. Stormstrike went by Thor while the real Thor was fucking around doing god knows what, so it's possible.
Either way it's really fucking dumb but it's probably a gimmick and they'll be done with it in a month or two, this has happened before.[/QUOTE]
I do hope you're right, but according to the article this is not a temporary thing, and she is now the permanent Thor.
I don't have a problem with them making a female character that can wield Thor's hammer. I wouldn't have a problem with her stepping in for him for a while, or even being a sidekick. I do have a problem with her just taking the name Thor, even though she is not Thor. I also have a problem that they apparently don't plan for male Thor to come back.
Now presumably they will bring back male Thor, whether that's a few months from now or longer. "Permanent" means nothing in a series that started 50 years ago and will continue to thrive for even longer. Soon they'll get over this bring the original Thor back.
