rockpile Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Stupid. Other than trying to make buck.... why? http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/07/15/thor-is-now-woman/
Mark Vader Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 But, but, but......FOX News Lies! In this case, I wish it were true.
Dr. Fong Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Don't pay attention to publicity stunts like this that comic book companies pull off. It'll die quickly and they see what a flop it is and the character will be thrown on the scrap heap of continuity.
DC Tom Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 We'll teach those ancient Norse a thing or two about political correctness.
Gugny Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 We'll teach those ancient Norse Norice a thing or two about political correctness. You're welcome.
4merper4mer Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Is this the first transgender super hero? When was the operation? Do we now have all political special interests covered in super hero world? Is there a pot smoking super hero? Edited July 16, 2014 by 4merper4mer
Buftex Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Is this the first transgender super hero? When was the operation? Do we now have all political special interests covered in super hero world? Is there a pot smoking super hero? Willie Nelson?

DC Tom Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Is there a pot smoking super hero? Yes, but his superpower is sitting on the couch eating Doritos and not gaining any weight.
frogger Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 From what I've read Thor does not turn into a woman, but rather is deemed unworthy of handling his hammer and another Marvel superhero who happens to be female is considered worthy to handle Mjölnir. Not a crazy notion, marvel lacks a real female superhero...sorry but storm (who can also handle lightning) black widow and even Electra the only female marvel character with their own movie, can not compete with its top stars. Though Jean Grey should have had her own origin.

Though Jean Grey should have had her own origin. I've never been a comic book reader, but I have friends who are, and even though Marvel is trying to get a movie franchise going for some of their female superheros, my friends say that is going to be tough to do because the Marvel female superheroes are not all that interesting. They do tell me that the DC female superheroes are far more complex and interesting.
RuntheDamnBall Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 In the ancient Norse myths Gods changed sexes frequently. But if nerds want to get into a tizzy about something that doesn't affect their day to day lives in the least, more power to them.
John Adams Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Thor was always a BS superhero with a lousy backstory. In order of stupidity: 3. Thor (not a superhero but a god. All he has is a magic hammer) 2. Daredevil (Zzzzz...who cares about a blind superhero) 1. Superman (yay, he's indestructible.... that's fun for 2 minutes)
