And so I did.

Anywho, this will be to discuss Thor's appearances, reminisce of classic days, post cool scans, videos, anything Thor (as long as it stays comic book related of course). Basically the revamped Thor discussion thread. Just take it easy, have a good time, and enjoy the character. smile

Oh, and I will be referred to as "All-Father" While in this thread. http://images.killermovies.com/forums/customsmilies/biscuits.gif

Damborgson
and to start it off, Thor god of Thunder has been the best Thor related story I've read since he lost the Odin Force. How's everyone else been taking to it?

Aaron said he's a fanboy for Mangog, so there's a chance we'll see him pop up in the future. I'm impressed he was able to blend the viking myth aspects of Thor alongside more cosmic-y backdrops already two issues in.

Damborgson
I liked the scene where Thor answered to his prayers. He's still a god after all, and being reminded of it by something else than his name, was a nice touch.

Ya that was very cool however, I like how King Thor and "young thor" are portrayed, however current Thor seems a little off, Like when he threated to kill one of the people he just saved after the girl fell asleep, other then that it looks like it will be a great run, On a side note it is nice to see thor using his weather control powers even before he was able to wield Mjolnir

Apocalypse vs. Thor to happen in Uncanny Avengers #6. From the looks of it and the previews, seems like it's Pre-Mjolnir Thor.

Damborgson
That's interesting. That's definitely has to be the pre mjolnir Thor who fought Gorr.

The Sorrow
This run has me onboard, I'm genuinely intrigued where Aaron will take the character and where this "god butcher" story goes. In the light of the recent reveal that a young Apoc will be taking on a young Thor in Uncanny Avengers i'm looking forward to see if it spills over into Thor's ongoing as UA and Thor are my 2 fav Marvel NOW books.

It might be because I'm not used to it yet, but his classic looks a lot better to me than the Marvel Now look.

JakeTheBank
Eh, I like his Marvel NOW look when he's helmet-less.

Coipel's look is the definitive Thor for me, though.

Damborgson
I agree.

Series is picking up. Aaron's internal Thor dialogue trounces Fraction's big time which is a goddamn shame because we all know Fraction can write a great story.

I blame the movies for that. Even when I had a Thor action figure as a kid, I always preferred the helmetted versions.

Since watching the movies though, I've done a 180.

Sometimes the helmets are drawn too large or unseemly with disproportional wings.

Coipel's look - or even different artists just drawing the same "Thor: Reborn" costume - typically draw a sleeker less prounced winged helm, which I prefer to the ones with the huge wings.

-Pr-
That's true.

Where should I start collecting JIM, Thor or UA? Or maybe all of them?

Damborgson
They've all been pretty good. Haven't read JIM since Loki left it though...

Zack Fair
What classic iconic/memorable essential Thor stories do you guys recommend?

Damborgson
Well for classic stuff, I'd take a look at pretty much all things Simonson. Thor: Alone against the celestials is epic also along with the blood and thunder mini series. Then blood oath is one of my favorite stories definitely, Jurgens' take on King Thor was epic, Thor: Disassembled of course is very good also. way to much stuff to list lol.

Zack Fair
thumb up Will look into those.

He was a crazy powerful douchebag. You and me both know you miss Fraction Thor.

Now Thor's at his lowest ever since SuperFraction Thor left us.

That is true. Aaron's Thor has been pretty badass so far as well though. Not as over the top as Fraction's but clearly a tough son of a *****. It's his portrayal in the Marvel Universe at large (Particularly all of his guest appearances with Avengers) that are the problem.

I didn't like Fraction's run on Thor at all, but it's still far better than most of his other showings in the rest of the universe.

Fraction translator owning Thor

Classic: Young maiden of Midgard, thy language leaves something to be desired.
Fraction: Shut your mouth, you dumb *****! You sound bad!

Classic: The fates have smiled on you, Loki...they have provided you with yet another opportunity to slay me. You wanted me so desperately. Now you have me. Do your worst.
Fraction: You always get lucky, you damn gimpy bastard! Let's do this!!!

Classic: I say thee NAY!
Fraction: &*%$!

Classic: Ultron. We would have words with thee.
Fraction: Robot, we're gonna wreck your ass!

Classic: The power within Mjolnir doth rage like the winter storms bursting upon the shore in furious assult!
Fraction: Hope you like rape because this hammer is FULL OF IT!

Classic: What place is this? And who hath dared draw the Thunder God here, from the midst of battle 'gainst the foes of Asgard? Speak mortals -- for such I see ye be! Speak -- or face the wrath of Thor!
Fraction: What. The. %*&$?!?

Classic: Bad days are coming. We have seen worse. What they did to Bill was a message to all of us -- a threat. This menace is very real. It is very powerful. And it is traveling a very long way to destroy us all. We will raise our defenses. We will fight them to the last. And we will defend those that cannot defend themselves. ... Today we fight, brothers and sisters. Today we stand up and never, ever relent. Brothers and sisters -- prepare yourselves. Today we go to WAR.
Fraction: Something is coming for us. I hope the bastard likes rape! LOTS OF RAPE!

Classic: For mine is the swiftness of the very lightning itself! And the fury of the elements is as nothing to the fury of Thor this day! Flee, death! Flee and lick thy wounds, you who are not fit to utter my father's name! And know that Thor shall not be far behind!

Fraction: Death... I cannot beat you. I never could. You know this... DO YOU NOW!!?

Classic To defend an innocent, to fight for a worthy cause, this is an honourable death.
Fraction I'm screwed.

Classic Save an adversary who fought with courage, honour and valour? I can do no less.
Fraction **** that guy.

Classic Though we may have been allies in days past your actions leave me with little choice but to stand against now.
Fraction Imma kill ya *****!

Classic I have had enough of thy villainy!
Fraction You were always a GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS!

Classic Odd's blood! The madness is surely upon him!
Fraction The Hel is this bald, glittering gimp talking about?

Classic Tell me, noble Odin, beloved father, faithful leige-- Wert thou certain that all thy precious pawns would survive thy planning and plotting--? OR DIDST THOU NOT EVEN CARE??
Fraction You one-eyed bastard! You don't give a damn about anyone!

Classic Despite your monstrous countenance, I sense within you a heart as noble as any that walks the halls of fabled Asgard and would be proud to count you as friend!
Fraction You are one. ugly. motha****a. But you seem pretty cool. Buds? Buds.

and lastly

Classic Ultron... we would have words with thee.
Fraction Hulk Hogan... we coming for you, nigga!

"The first thing that they're dealing with after that is the Apocalypse twins," Remender remarked. "In issue #6 we'll get a flashback where we see Thor, Rama Tut, Apocalypse and Kang in a conflict that creates a relic that we've currently been seeing in Jason Aaron's 'Thor: God of Thunder' series. It's Thor's axe. We'll see why the Axe is now the most powerful relic in the Marvel Universe, how it became that, and what role it's going to play moving forward."

see Past Thor basically kill him and then here is alive and well in the present and future.

Is Gorr a cool character iyo, Rage ? He reminds me of Lord Voldemort by the looks of him(which earns him cool points) and his premise seems very interesting. I might read this after it all wraps up.

Looks like Asgardian tech to me. It's been a long time since anything of that nature has been touched I'm pretty sure. I always liked the idea of the Asgardians being a super advanced society in addition to the god status and magic.

Based on what I've seen so far, Gorr is definitely the kind of character that you'd like. He may fissile out in the end, who knows, but right now he'd be your next sig.

?

Fraction's Asgardians were both high advanced technologically (They even improved and IIRC were superior to Stark Tech) and in sorcery.

It was JMS who went with the Sword and Sorcery route.

Ah figures that I didn't know about it then. As much as I wanted to, I really didn't read much of Fraction's run until Coipel drew me in for the Mighty Thor. I detested the dialogue so much I couldn't get through the issues, and since I've always read Thor because I enjoy it, forcing myself to read it just wasn't worth it. Good to hear about the tech though thumb up

Damborgson
-sigh-

JakeTheBank
Lol, so I got some good news for everyone. I was at C2E2 and I attended a couple of panels, the first being a JMS one promoting his new series and the other being a Marvel NOW to Infinity panel.

At the JMS panel, I asked him about his Thor run and why he decided to go with more character development and story over action when most people seem to go the other way around *cough*Fraction*cough*. His response was really cool. He felt that Thor should always be an intelligent and wise noble being instead of a raging viking brute and basically starting ranting about how plenty of writers didn't want to touch Thor post Ragnarok except him. JMS goes on to explain how after he got Thor to the top ten titles, Marvel decided to "have Bendis kick over his sandcastle" with Siege, thinking they could make more money off of it. Needless to say, I laughed and agreed.

Also, at the Marvel panel, I asked if there's anything big to be expected from either Thor or Dr. Doom that we don't know about and they said Doom would get up to something in the next couple of months, but apparently teased a huge Thor bombshell that will be revealed tomorrow. From the gist of it, Brevoort made it seem like a new ongoing or mini, something separate from Aaron's title.

Also, after talking to Remender at his booth, he basically said he's tired of Thor jobbing or getting beat up on by people who are beneath him, which is one reason why he brought back Sentry. So, by all rights, we should get an epic throw down between the two.

Pretty excited for the future.

psycho gundam
after going over the celestial 4th host scans in the ownage thread then looking over the whole event, you have to see that thor is a very different character. his speech is all different and the air of being a hyper-male is barely noticeable.

the whole thor getting ko'd meme is kinda true cause the thor of old would just get really pissed off at most of the things that put current thor on his ass these days.

JakeTheBank
The thing is that most of those things taking him for a loop are from team books or crossovers (a great deal of them from Bendis himself). As far as Thor's ongoing and centric events/minis/etc., power wise, he's still the same guy. Most of the people who are seriously thinking that Thor has been nerfed or whatever and aren't just joking around or trolling for a laugh have said or pretty much shown that they don't read Thor's ongoing (which makes sense to form an informed opinion on a character) or somehow think that his ongoing isn't an accurate representation of the character or is less important than what happens in books where he doesn't get any development focused on him.

Personality wise, though, yeah, JMS leaving the title heralded the gradual regression to a brute, which Fraction ran with. Part of me feels the movie is somewhat responsible for that - Hemsworth's Thor was certainly arrogant and an ass.

JakeTheBank
Also the "big reveal" was just announcing that Malekith will be returning in the pages of God of Thunder in September, obviously to coincide with the movie. Kinda expected something more, but the art looks great.

Lol, so I got some good news for everyone. I was at C2E2 and I attended a couple of panels, the first being a JMS one promoting his new series and the other being a Marvel NOW to Infinity panel.

At the JMS panel, I asked him about his Thor run and why he decided to go with more character development and story over action when most people seem to go the other way around *cough*Fraction*cough*. His response was really cool. He felt that Thor should always be an intelligent and wise noble being instead of a raging viking brute and basically starting ranting about how plenty of writers didn't want to touch Thor post Ragnarok except him. JMS goes on to explain how after he got Thor to the top ten titles, Marvel decided to "have Bendis kick over his sandcastle" with Siege, thinking they could make more money off of it. Needless to say, I laughed and agreed.

Also, at the Marvel panel, I asked if there's anything big to be expected from either Thor or Dr. Doom that we don't know about and they said Doom would get up to something in the next couple of months, but apparently teased a huge Thor bombshell that will be revealed tomorrow. From the gist of it, Brevoort made it seem like a new ongoing or mini, something separate from Aaron's title.

Also, after talking to Remender at his booth, he basically said he's tired of Thor jobbing or getting beat up on by people who are beneath him, which is one reason why he brought back Sentry. So, by all rights, we should get an epic throw down between the two.

Pretty excited for the future.

Wow. You talked to the big boys thumb up

JMS's response did me good.

Thor has a long history of being downplayed on team books, but I think that the negative image that has been shown for Thor has been mostly because of the visibility that events get. In some of Bendis's early events Thor got portrayed on a positive light and Sentry got chumped.

Personally I admit that I mostly read Thor's cosmic minis, because I like some of the Eternals/Elders of the Universe characters. Its almost as if I was expecting Marvel to make a Beta Ray Bill ongoing or something like that.

Yeah, they were all really cool and down to Earth, especially outside of the panels. JMS basically went on tirades focused on his disappointment with what they did with Thor during Siege and the whole OMD thing with Spider-Man. It was awesome.

And Remender was pretty blunt in the fact that he feels that Thor should be used for big threats and not trashed to make other lesser characters look good.

Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Aaron, which sucks. But there's another convention coming up in Chicago in August, so maybe he'll be there.

Also, one thing I noticed recently was Freyja's scene in Guardians of the Galaxy #2. Basically, Star-Lord's father, Gladiator, the Supreme Intelligence, and other leaders of various empires including the Brood and the Negative Zone all discussed whether or not it would be such a bad thing if Earth were attacked or destroyed before they officially joined the galactic community. In response to this, Freyja disapproved of attacking Earth (which is one of the Nine Realms she oversees as the All-Mother) and even threatened the other empires with a war in which she would use everything at her disposal to defend Earth with if they made an attempt at the planet.

Not really a "feat" per se, but it was interesting to see the other empires back off from her threat and instead opt to merely declare Earth off-limits for the other empires than attempt to attack it. Makes me wonder just how Earth + Asgard and the Nine Realms would fare in an all out intergalactic war.

Branlor Swift
If the All Mother's actually did something, they could obliterate some fleets. Plus, most of the races are just like 1 ton characters with weapons. Asgard is like all 50 ton characters and random weapons and armor. And then the notable characters.

Without the All Mother, and random tech, I don't think they'd do too well vs entire empires. Mind you, this is only talking about Asgard, not the 9 realms.

It'd be interesting what sort of army they would call upon.

he needs a longer run on the book

Never knew this existed...

Damborgson
Thoughts on how this all going to end?

Don't know what could possibly save the Thor's from the pointblank bomb they just took, maybe Thor just destroyed it and it didn't really detonate?

JakeTheBank
I suspect some temporal warping of some kind. Maybe the Thors being taken to the beginning of or ending of creation.

Damborgson
Maybe warped out of the dimension? The bomb is supposed to affect all of time, but maybe if they teleported to a time where the bomb had already hit...

I hope for a perfect finish to one of the best Thor arcs in a long time.

Godbomb looks like it went off.

In a godless world, he's (Gorr) gonna be looked upon as a god the same way his wife started to right before her butcherin!

His dark weapon starts to consume him. He starts acting more uncontrollable.

He gonna realize he has become that which he hates the most and that all gods are not evil...

He also gonna realize gods are just like mortals.. Everyone has some control over their own destinies and that shiet happens to good folks.

While realizing this his son realizes the same thing, but knows it is too late for Gorr. His weapon has consumed him.

His son the somehow finds a way to meddle with time and brings back the Thors or at least Thor the Avenger.

With the help of Gorr's son, Thor the Avenger gives him the @$$kicking he started way back when he was in World Shatterer Thor mode!

Then the rest is history.. The End... But not for Gorr and his dark weapon!!! Dun dun dun!

Oh... and his son dies....

Rage.Of.Olympus
I hope they tank the Bomb but Thor and Gorr are flung to the beginning of time. Then their battle causes the creation of the Omniverse.

Just so I can savor the delicious tears of the haters.

I liked the GOT10 but hated how Gorr lost an eye.

JakeTheBank
Personally, I think it's supposed to be a parallel to Odin. Whereas Odin is seen as the definitive "skyfather" and in some depictions, architect of creation, Gorr is being portrayed as the antithesis to that and will undoubtedly almost undo creation.

Rage.Of.Olympus
Gorr losing an eye was a bit weird. Dude withstood pretty much everything almost unscathed, you shouldn't be able to bite him with any sort of success. Although his weapon makes him immortal so I guess he could just replace it if anything. Watch him tank ridiculous shit next issue without a scratch.

Whatever, Thor rules and would bite Superman's face off.

BUT, interesting how Jake put it

Damborgson
What tier should Gorr be placed in? All the Thors have gotten their shots in, but he never stays down for long. So far the highest he's been hurt from has been when he got blasted light years away. And his lowest has probably been Teen Thor taking a bite out of him.

JakeTheBank
I think it depends on how much "godblood" is being spilled to fuel him.

That was my thought as well.

Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense when you consider power levels and such. But a good story should always come first.

As for the bomb, when I read it I got the impression that he smashed it apart not that it blew up.

I would love for Jason Aaron to bring back a revamp Thor Corp which would include: Thor, Beta Ray Bill, Clor, Thor Girl and Red Nor-vell

Maybe it's just American Gods rules, but didn't it happen when he was fighting Glory too? Thor gained a spark of life quite explicitly due to a young woman's prayers when he fought Glory during Chaos War. There was a visible thread of ethereal energy that attached itself to Thor and reawakened him along with plenty of exposition describing it.

There was none of this during Thor God of Thunder #11. It's a possibility that this all happened off-panel, but then again Jason Aaron wasn't exactly holding back any details in this story. If the prayers amped him, he probably would have mentioned it rather than trust that some fan happened to read a random tie-in to some storyline completely disconnected (and reviled by some) from it.

Personally, I have no doubt that Thor's resolve may have been strengthened by the prayers, at least Odin's. But in terms of injecting him with power? Not really.

Diesldude
I agree, I don't think Thor was amped, something like that would have been explicitly stated and it wasn't.

Only case I can think of is, I know it's a reach, but Thor answered the prayer of an alien child from across the universe in an earlier book. Maybe he was forced to answer prayers and the compulsion allowed him to absorb the weapon and the energy from the bomb. my 2 cents.

Jason Aaron just keeps his awesome rolling.

It's a tremendous stand-alone story and all Thor fans should not miss it.
