Haha. If you ever have a chance, ask a Jane Thor fan, why they like the character. It's pretty interesting.After the words noble, self-sacrificing and brave, you can point out that they are describing Thor Odinson. Then they'll discuss how she's also a frail mortal. That's when you realize they don't actually know anything about the mythos and are ignorant about Donald Blake. 90% of them are like this and only enjoy the book because the art is pretty. Also, feminism is in. Once you understand the driving force behind this, you can understand why it seems to have fallen apart so hard.
Aaron wrote himself in a corner. The whisper, the mother storm, the retcon about the hammer's origins etc. he was a dog chasing a car. He caught the car and didn't know what to do.
His whole premise for this story has been exploring the concept of being worthy and making Thor a better character. Do you feel that either of those things have been accomplished through Jane? I think most, are left more confused after the story than before.
not the thread for it, but just quickly--i liked jane for the sake of jane. i thought she was written well and consistent throughout and was entertained by the character, no more or less than that. looking deeper into some sutained themes--the loki stuff focused on the power of story, and he even chased off twsis by claiming that perhaps it was the gods who dreamed them into being, like the humans may have dreamed the gods (a similar theme explored by gaiman in sandman...) blake WAS frail, but thor existed first. here we don't have a god becoming a frail mortal, we have the reverse. we don't see a god following because of pride, we see a mortal rising because of worth. jane is a reverse thor in many ways. i see some parallels between that loki scene (gods make GREATER gods) and what was going on between jane and thor (man made gods, in this case made gods worthy). there is more than that, but like i said, not the place. suffice to say i enjoyed the arc overall, though i wasn't happy with all of it to be sure.
I love the premise of the Unexpected.
The Unexpected is a vibrant book that’s epic in scope and for writer Orlando that was simply the way it had to be. “From day one when we talked about The Unexpected that was the tagline, ‘To prevent Crisis, expect The Unexpected.’ So if this was gonna be a team that’s combating these line-wide crossover level villains before they create another Metal, another Milk Wars, or another Final Crisis, we knew they had to be big and threats that big usually come from the Multiverse. They come from that concept of something bigger coming to eat the DC Universe, for lack of a better phrase,” Orlando enthused. “If a team lead by Neon the Guardian of Creation is gonna come at these things, you’ve gotta have energy and boldness to match that.”

No, MC2 is yet another reality. Earth-982.
Adventures is 20051.
Also, you can easily say Dareangel is trolling, stop spamming the thread even worse.
Logan banged Elektra in 616 canon, too.

In addition to Stilt's post, Marvel Adventures is basically made for kids. That's why the dialogue is way off for the characters and sounds mostly like something a 6-year old would say. B/c its made for them lol so chill. Also they later added elements from the Marvel cartoons on Disney. Every issue is a stand alone story aimed to get kids interested in buying toys and movie tickets.
