Starting with the Red Hulk beating down Thor with his own hammer, it seemed like Marvel has absolutely no respect for a character anymore who has thousands of fans. Although I stuck with it, especially after Thor had "won" in a rematch. Then we saw Thor get taken down by a group of b-list villains, including Norman Osbourne, as they stood over him and made fun of him. ("Woof"😉. Okay, Thor gets rescued and then fights back, and eventually gets to kill the Sentry/Void, of course they couldn't even let this happen in a straight fight, the Void had to ask Thor to kill him! Again, it seems like Thor is getting no respect from Marvel.
On top of this, Marvel releases the Hulk VS DVD, where we see Thor humiliated YET AGAIN as the Hulk beats him down on Thor's own turf. And then there's the new Marvel Avengers cartoon, where Thor is constantly being showed up by the Hulk. And now, as far as I'm concerned, the last straw, the HORRIBLY drawn, and HORRIBLY written Let the Battle Begin. Where once again we see the Hulk humiliate Thor, by beating him down with his own hammer! I'm sorry, guys, I can only take so much. It seems like every time Thor "beats" someone, there's some built in "excuse", like the Void wanted to die, or the Red Hulk fight gets interrupted by the Green Hulk. Thor is really the reason I got into Marvel comics in the first place, and now its just one humiliation after another. He hasn't really beaten anyone lately, or done anything impressive at all. All he does is swing his hammer at people and shoot a lightning bolt here and there.
What happened to the Stan Lee days where Thor actually had some respect? Back in those days he was beating the Silver Surfer, fighting Mephisto and taking blasts from Galactus, and now he can't even beat Norman Osbourne's Dark Avengers. What's funny is that even the guys who took down Thor in Siege were surprised themselves! As if to say, "I can't believe it was that easy". I'm sure the Hulk would have come through that fight and beaten them all down. Or it would have at least put up a little bit more of a fight.
So what's the deal? What does Marvel have against Thor?
