I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!! First off, I'm tired of people saying that can't be the real Thor based soley on who's side he chose. If this guy had shown up and sided with Cap, would you still be saying "Ah, he's a fake. The real Thor will show up and kick his @$$." These are the same people that said Spidey would NEVER go public. I told everyone that Spidey would go public with this thing back in February, yet everyone dismissed me as being on crack. Before this started I said that he would join IM side, yet people didn't listen. If you're going to take a guess or make a prediction about what's going to happen, you need to do so without bias, look at the dozens of clues being dropped left and right, and make a guess from the direction the the evidence indicates, not what you'd like to happen.
"Thor would never go against Cap, it's out of character!" Well they said the same thing about Spider-man, and you see where that got you. I realize that it's natual to root for the underdogs. I realize that the natural tendency is to side w/ the anti-regs. But if you're going to declare something bad writing just because it doesn't happen the way YOU want it to happen, then just stop reading everything altogether. And I'm sure that Thor never expected Cap to be a fugitive on the run for breaking the law.
Spider-man is going to switch sides. I said this back in February, and I'm saying it again now. All you have to do is look at the evidence and clues. God knows Marvel has put out hundreds of them. He'll, I can even tell you what specific book it happens in.
People say this whole thing is lopsided, another falacy. Yes, IM's side has more firepower, but that's usually the case in these situations. if someone is going up against the government, they will likely be out gunned and out numbered. IM may have Thor, but we STILL don't know if he has Sentry. I realize that Marvel's web-site states that Sentry is on IM's side, but the place where that's located is edited by fan submissions. I can log on right now and change it. The fact is, New Avengers # , it say "New Avengers dissassembled continues!! He has the power of a thousand exploding suns!! He has the power to end the civil war! Who’s side are you on?? More like who’s side is THE SENTRY on?? A choice is made!!! This issue ties New Avengers, House of M, Civil War and Son of M together! Be there for this very important chapter fully painted by the amazing Adi Granov! Guest-starring the Inhumans!!!" so we really can't say who's side he'll take.
If you look at the evidence, then you'll see it points to several people switching sides (not just going over to Cap, but some going from Cap to IM). Is IM side wrong? Wrong for obeying the law? You REALLY think that's the message Marvel wants to send out. F--- the law and do what you want. People keep trying to make this war a simple black and white issue, but it isn't.
Hell, if you REALLY look at all the clues, you'd see everything headed this way. The things I could tell you...
Anyway, as for Spider-man...
