Zeus versus Odin... parenting skills
who's the daddy?
c'mon... who's the better parent, the better tutor and instructor and the better disciplinarian?

I think Odin is worse... but that's just because he has more showings.

Zeus is obviously the more prolific progenitor due to being the better looking all-father (maybe homo) and having more skills in this regard.
But how many of his baby mommas does he pay attention to?
Odin for responsible parenting--I guess . Zeus for winning.

Didn't Zeus turn himself into a swan in order to impregnate a woman? How is that setting a good example for Hercules?
What part of the game is that?

Odin gets off beating the shit out of Thor, cursing him, raping and 100 other things.

Odin is a far superior parent and is much wiser than Zeus. F*ck Fraction and his ridiculous take on Odin. 50 years of continuity take precedence over this idiocy.
The Odin he writes is a raging lunatic. So out of character I don't want to even call him the All Father.

Fraction's writes Odin as an ******* but his never raped anyone unless you're referring to the For Asgard mini where he raped Gaea. But that's non cannon.

I've actually thought of a possible explanation for his change in character

Only on KMC would you find a debate on the evils of fictional child abuse compared to fictional bestiality.
Only on KMC.

Unfortunately Fraction has never hinted at any problems and outright said he enjoys writing an angry Odin.

Yeah but another writer could retcon it to something like that

I think Zeus is the better father. Odin beats his kid like he was black or something. (Meaning both Thor and Odin). Talks down to him. Odin is a dick.

Possibly. But I wager Fraction will be writing Thor for a year or two more. Hopefully sales will drop significantly like they did during his last run and that will force Marvel to change writers.
After the Galactus/Surfer arc, I'm dropping Thor. I never thought I'd see the day when the incestuous idiot Zeus would be getting votes over Odin in regards to fatherhood.

So, the general feeling is that Zeus' talents lie more in impregnating the unsuspecting milk maidens, whilst Odin's one-eye is kept more focused on raising the runt he has?
What about Loki? that's a twisted piece of parenting no?

There should be an arc where it is revealed that when Odin was resurrected he was possessed by some kind of evil spirit and Thor and his allies have to fight him in order to stop it.

Odin is the better father. All of his machinations ultimately resulted in Thor achieving the end of Ragnarok and saving Asgard from pointless death and rebirth. Though Zeus comes off as more stable currently mentally lol

What about Loki? Odin tried his best, but Loki is twisted at his very core.

Something like that should be revealed but I doubt it.

I can't support a writer that butchers my favorite characters so.

Yeah, Loki is a douche. There are some takes that play at "nature vs. nuture" but generally, Loki's douchebaggery is all a result of Loki himself.

So why doesn't Odin deal with him properly? Surely a good parent would know when to abort such a failed venture. Think how many innocents have died as a result of Loki's machinations.
Odin just has to clip him round the ear and all would be set aright
Also, Zeus comes from a troubled-home, he should be given some props for managing to not strangle Hercules at birth! c'mon, the guy's father castrated his grandfather, that shit's not right is it?
I think you're all far too judgemental about Zeus, he needs our understanding and respect for what he has achieved, in the way of parenthood.
