Let's be honest... It's not like Tony doesn't know what THOR's power sets are. He's only fought side by side and against him for the last 20yrs. He has absorbed or blocked per a force field THOR's lightening attacks, SS cosmic blasts, Micheal's attacks, nuclear bombs...etc many, many times. And for him to not be ready for THOR's attacks and just get fried like that is straight PIS...The only other explanation is that Tony wanted to take the abuse because maybe he feels guilty about how everything went down. Outside of that reasoning... It was nothing but PIS.

🙁

Nope. Sorry. Tony may have done fairly well against Thor in the past, but he never straight up won a fight in the end. Even the Thorbuster suit, powered by Asgardian magic, wasn't enough against King Thor. Of course, Thor has never been this angry at Tony before; this time, he wanted to give him a definite message.

I like the new direction the writers are going with this. I do think it's time Thor reasserted himself as a powerhouse and showed just how big the gap their is between herald-level beings and other superheroes. IM should have wore his Thorbuster though. That was just a bad judgement call and I don't understand it. I look forward to seeing more of this non-holding back, ruthless Thor. Badass.

I doubt it, I think the events in Thor happen after WWH, although I could be mistaken.

Hey guys, I've been reading through the new Thor series and I have really enjoyed I so far. I love the artwork, think the writing is excellent, and I'm enjoying the new characterization of Thor. However, there is one major thing about the book that just aren't sitting well with me that I thought I'd discuss.

I really, and I mean really, dislike the way the rebuilding of Asgard is being handled. It feels way too contrived to me. Why on earth would Thor, needing to rebuild Asgard, choose a location in Oklahoma, or anywhere in the United States, to rebuild? This makes no sense whatsoever. Why did he not choose a more practical domain, perhaps something obvious like the mountainous region of Scandanavia, or above the oceans, to do this.

To me it seems like an all-too obvious attempt to tie it in to the events of Civil War & registration, and to set up a "cool" fight with Iron Man, and it makes no sense to me. It didn't seem in character for Thor to just choose a location in the American midwest to me. Sure he was there at the time, but that's not justification It just wasn't necessary. Iron Man and Thor would have come to blows without that.

Which brings me to my other point - why did the writers feel it was necessary to show Thor rebuilding Asgard here on earth in the first place? This utterly kills the mystery and fantastical wonder that is supposed to be Asgard itself. It's not supposed to be a place mere mortals can just see hovering above their land. I think it's an unnecessary retcon and almost feels insulting. I hope that Marvel doesn't plan on keeping things that way. I much prefer the way the whole thing was handled in the Ultimate universe, keeping Asgard mysterious and vague. Don't show Asgard immediately, and keep it mostly off-panel if you're going to do it.

I just thought I'd vent for a moment, it's just really bugging me. Anyone else feel this way?

In somes ways I agree in ways I don't. Asgard doesn't need to remain o nEarth fo0r long but as of right now as it is being rebiult God by God I think it is a neat diea. It gets us to finally see what Asgard unleashed on Earth would be like.

I actually think Thor returning to earth is before WWH.
in the prologue one of the War Bound, i think Korg said that they will have to deal with Thor.

Either way so far it looks like Thor is just going to stay out of things. Although with as far as we've gotten in World War Hulk if Thor was going to get invloved it would probably be to put an end to it.

Although along the same sides. Anyone else just plane exicted with the way MU is going. There has seemed to be a distinct power downgrade over the years. Classic Juggernaut was gone. Thor went to sleep. Silver Surfer really hadn't been exposed to much.

But now all three are either back to their classic levels and or getting ready to start kicking some malor behind.

I think the dimensional realm that Asgard sat in is gone, in the aftermath of Thor: Disassembled. This part of America was the place Thor's hammer fell to; it seems to be taken as a sign for the place Thor starts the work of rebuilding. The Great Plains states have been underexposed in comics, so it's a little different.
Why not Scandanavia? Well...American publishing company. European comic companies do Thor stories in Europe. Besides, America was the new land for Thor to learn about since he debuted in the 1960's.
I don't think the stay in Oklaholma is long-term; I bet by issue 50, we will see Odin's return, and Asgard the city will join with a newly-created Eternal Realm, so a big moving job will happen.
I really like his new look, with the chainmail and the darker colour scheme of grey & burgandy. He looks less superhero-like and more Godly & traditional. 👆

I wish I could comment on this series, it looks so good but I'm waiting for the trade ✅

u know that would be kinda ****ed up if marvel decides to keep Thor separated from WWH imo..
Why would they mention Thor in the arc then? Just to keep our hopes up for another EPIC Hulk and Thor Slugfest to let us down..
I really hope Marvel does the right thing, Thor and the Hulk brawls are well documented, i just think it would be just cool fo them to go at it one more time.

Ive been enjoying it so far. I dont mind Asgard being in Oklahoma because this time around humans must decide if they need the gods(something like that) and having Asgard in the middle of America serves that purpose as oppose to having Asgard in a remote mountain.

The only thing I have my doubts is Thor looking for the Asguardians which reside whithin certain individuals. I feel this was done in a mini series a few years ago already. Thor wasnt the one looking for them but is the same premise.

Or one Panel as he banishes all of Hulk's crew back unto the planet they came from minus ship.

Merged with IM-v-Thor into one Thor thread.

I bet you wish the New Thor Series had been going on while your Tourney match was going. Imagine dropping Asgard on somone's Dome 😛

Hadn't actually thought of that. But if I was in tourney mode, I'm sure Scoob or myself would've tried it.

Just got this comic and read it.

Loved it, Heimdals return was just great.

I also enjoyed how the Thor vs Iron Man fight went down, nice to see two of my favorite characters in conflicts.

As for Thor taking place after WWH...
I always thought that was what Blake was talking about when he said to Thor that he would be needed soon.
However, having not started reading WWH yet I am really surprised on how low priority this "world war" has. It has not been touched on in any of the Marvel titles I am currently reading (all three Spideys, Punisher and Thor), making it seem like it really isn't a big deal.

Well, the Punisher certainly wouldn't be involved in WWH; not his line of country. And Spider Man has his own miseries at the moment, being on the run from the Pro-Reg government. And Thor has only been back for three issues, and he's concerned with Asgard & finding the other Gods; not getting involved in the aftermath of the "War Of Brothers", as he put it. None of these three are direct targets of the Hulk.

Well just pointing out the differences between really big events and not so big events. Civil War effected everything, WWH hardly anything.

However I think I saw a Punisher title on a WWH checklist somewhere....

Good idea changing name of thread btw.
