TServo2049 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) This is actually happening in the comics, it has no more bearing on the movies than Miles Morales in Ultimate Spider-Man, or that period in the Batman comics when Bruce Wayne was missing-presumed-dead.

grim22 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Comics vs Movies. 2 different things. Spiderman won't be Miles Morales either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Do not be fooled. This is not the first time a woman has wielded the hammer and the power of Thor. The inscription on the hammer reads "Whosoever holds this hammer..." not "What man holds this hammer..." Other Thor women: Storm(not only was she a woman, but she was black! "PC" before the term was coined): Rogue(who steals Thor's power and essence): Wonder Woman(Yep...the DC character): Thor Girl(Obviously created only for cosplay reasons): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TServo2049 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 49 variant covers? New #1's? We've officially fallen into a time hole and ended up back in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanamichi Sakuragi Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Wolverine's going to die come September. Thor's becoming a woman Captain America's being replaced and Steve's an old man now. Fuck Marvel's comics. Hardly the first time a comic character has died. Thor himself is not becoming a woman, someone else is taking the mantle of Thor. Again, not the first time this has happened. Captain America's been replaced before. Nothing listed is inherently negative, it all comes down to execution. Some of the things people love about the Marvel Universe were retcons/changes from the status quo as well: Captain America in the modern age, Magneto as a well intentioned extremist, etc. Wait and see how things play out, before completely damning the company because three changes.

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) This is why CGC when professionally grading comics with the death of a character put the word "Death" in quotations. They know anyone can return from the dead in comics. There is another medium where death is invariably fleeting...soap operas.

Hanamichi Sakuragi Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Do tell me the last time Marvel's changed and it was written well/not retconned a year later. Not the last time, but two of my favorites were the return of Bucky as the Winter Soldier in the 00s, and the introduction of the Cassandra Nova in the 00s. Kid Loki in Journey into Mystery was also my favorite version of the character, and although the character returned to old habits (though it lasted longer than a year), the final issue pointed out how the character was going to regress because fans/editors wouldn't allow the change to progress or stick. Also in the 00s. More recent stuff as well, which I can get into later (Change of status quo with Daredevil, for example). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
