Character Ownage

Mjolnir was not shown to be destroyed. Thor talks of killing Mjolnir in a fit of despair because in reality without Mjolnir, Jane turns back into a human and dies. I think his reaction was more of that fact. His next line is "You just killed you..." Mjolnir is not seen anymore when it plunges into the sun with Mangog. As Jane starts changing back to human(w/o Mewmew), Asgardia draws ever closer to the sun. We then see Asgardia blow up as it hits the surface of the sun, but Thor was able to escape(I think he jumped?!?!) just before Jane burns up. He crash lands on the moon with Jane. Comic ends without anyone knowing of her fate(dead?) and Mjolnir.

Aaron could piss in Thor's mouth and have him get ass blasted by Hercules and rage would still be ok with it as long as Thor has good feats.

Thor nearly burned his whole arm off in Uncanny Avengers when he exposed it to the sun, btw.

Thor (2/2):

...Not the best quality, but still readable.

Reading comics for feats, full stop, is a weird way to enjoy comics anyway.

It is. And I say that as someone who does still enjoy feats. I liken it to WWE, where the whole thing is scripted, and characters are constantly playing a game of King of the Hill with no ultimate winner. But fans will unironically say that one wrestler in his prime would beat another, even with that knowledge. I like our tourneys, but there are rules and structure there. On a long enough time scale, finding coherence to the big companies is an exercise in madness, as is claiming any superiority as a result (imo).

There's a quote attributed to Stan Lee that I like to think is true, where he gets annoyed at a "who would beat who" question, and replies that whoever the writer wants will win, and to stop asking silly questions like that.

Comics isn't the only fandom to have this issue. I saw an interesting video of how the Elder Scrolls developers threw out a lot of past canon for the sake of gameplay, but there are devoted fans who attempt to reconcile everything from, say, Arena and Daggerfall with contradictory stuff from Skyrim. Various devs have basically said there isn't a set canon because, ya know, they're making games to make money. Lore is a part of that, but they don't give af about minor internal inconsistencies when profit margins are in play. Like comics, basically. And there are fan "theories" that explain things well enough that they've been accepted into the fandom's head-canon, and occasionally even hinted at in official games. Which happens on occasion in comics too (on more popular forums and outlets, not KMC of course). It's interesting, though...you get the same type of phenomena at the deepest levels of interest, despite the differences in genre.

what instance are you referring

So the most threatening villain Marvel has, along with probably its most durable weapon are destroyed by the sun.

Kang is not afraid of the sun.

Aside from the power level being weird, that fight was awesome

The art is superb!

I'm sure it's happened more than I'm aware of, but one that I know of specifically was from an ASM where Mary Jane broke her arm but was magically better like a day later. It was during the Iron Spider arc, and he was with Tony a lot. Some fan contacted the writer and suggested a few theories that were floating around, and the writer (whose name is escaping me atm) was like "Sure, that was it all along." This was in a deluge of hate mail about it.

So fast forward a couple issues to Tony and Peter talking, and the dialogue brings up the broken arm. Tony gives some BS science-y explanation involving fast-healing serum. Then both Tony and Peter break the 4th wall and look sarcastically right at the reader in a silent panel, basically rolling their eyes at super-fans who demanded an explanation. It's hilarious, and a little sad.

So it was just a writer oversight, but fans felt the need to fit every little piece together, so some random fan theory became (sarcastic) canon.

Lol.

I have faced the Destroyer, the Phoenix, the All Father himself....NEVER HAVE I FACED SUCH POWER!!

Marvel:

The sun was not the plot device here. He already got thrown into the sun and jumped back into Asgardia.

The plot device here was Gleipnir.
Aaron definitely ran out of ideas though. 😬

@Philo

You're a complete retard. I'm some Aaron apologist? You got it backwards, I don't care about the feats as long as the story is good. That's why I'm enjoying it right now more so than the first half when it was pretty garbage but she had crazy feats.

You're like the Donald Trump of message boards. It's not my fault you're short.

Wonder Woman getting knocked out by a f****ing bullet, what is that?

The scans are kind of blurry and out of order a bit but thanks Galan!

I'm a bit confused. Jane throws Mangog into the Sun and he come backs fine. Thor is on Asgardia when it falls into the Sun and he comes back fine.

I'm sure Mjolnir is fine. We never see it destroyed. I'm guessing it's still in the Sun, keeping Mangog hostage. I was confused how the Sun could crack Mjolnir but that never happens unless I missed a scan?

Why would Thor turn back into Jane?

But I labeled the scans sequentially from 1-17, so just look at the hyperlink to see what 'number' it is for those few that are out of place.

Nothing is missing, though... That's the entire scene from start to finish.
