I highly doubt Marvel writers and editors looked back and swore revenge on Thor for all the PF fans and enacted it thusly.
It's basically just classic Worf Effecting going on to put over the X-Men in their own book. With added garbage to boot.

Yeah, actually.Thor underwent massive growth and development over the years, especially after discovering the reasons for Odin banishing him and the purpose behind the Donald Blake persona. Achieving ultimate wisdom, ending Ragnarok, and dying further developed Thor as a character.
JMS actually wrote a Thor who learned a lot from his prior lessons and was matured as a character and much slower to anger and hesitant to kill as he should be. Gillen did the same thing.
Fraction then comes on board and decides to bring Odin back and regress Thor about ten or so years development wise.
He also seemed to me make seem like a brash and pompous young Thor. I swear I may never buy another Thor comic again.
Yeah, he does. Which invokes alot of the qualities the movie depicts. Even though Thor becomes worthy at the end of his own film, he's still brash and hotheaded.
This whole "hey, let's make the comics more resemble our movies" mentality is stupid.
That Marcus Johnson/"Nick Fury, Jr." shit is some of the most atrocious and blatant attempts I've ever seen.

So is current Thor still currently a high herald? What are everyone's thoughts?
Yeah. His feats under Fraction and during Fear Itself confirm that much. Even in AvX, he "clipped the wing" of the Phoenix Force.
There's also the fact that several months worth of story doesn't retcon or contradict an established history worth of power displays.
