Thor is transexual!

[Viking]

Apparently Thor does something that makes him unworthy of wielding the hammer and then is replaced by a thor fangirl who wears a mask and calls herself Thor. He, that is the original Thor will be doing something else while someone else is wielding the hammer.

If anything this is a riff on his origin, where Odin sends him to earth to learn humility. This might be the All-Mother (yes Odin has been replaced by a female too) either being part of some evil plot involving estrogen to destroy asgard or teaching thor ehh.. I don't know.. Feminism?

Even though this was announced on "The View" I'm not entirely convinced that girls are the target market:



It doesn't look like she'll need a hammer to pummel Loki.

I'm not sure Tranny Thor will be a seller.

Also it should be Thora, not Thor.

[celedhring]

Meh, she isn't even hot. They are actually trying to be serious with this?

I thought the same thing. If they want more women and girls to read comics, dressing the women in something that will actually protect them would be a good start. And maybe bringing them down to a more manageable C-cup, while they're at it.

They could have a tie in with Nickelodeon where she went on quests and taught children Swedish.

This smells an awful lot like a troll.  Even the quotes sound like troll-quotes.  I'll believe it when they sink a lot of money into it.

Plus the mask makes her look like "Brunhilde the Dominatrix."

Ok if the superheroes go into battle dressed up in tights and impractical capes your expectations cannot be this high.

[CountDeMoney]

I'd do her.  But she's gotta keep the Brunnhilde helmet on.

[Syt]

Dunno, Thor's outfit is often not really geared towards protection, either (though he often has an armored shirt in recent years).

[DontSayBanana]

It does seem weird that thor, an established character beyond comic books, would be the one they would try this with. Surely a female captain America for instance would be far less silly?

Or perhaps that's their thinking, a lot more people know of the real Thor today than when the comic book character was first conceived, they're trying to draw far more of a line between superhero Thor and god Thor?

Which they've already started.  Captain Marvel's retired, and the former Ms. Marvel (Sharon Ventura) has stepped in as the new one.  Also, with the additional details provided by Viking, I beg to differ that "this is Thor."  This is more like Beta Ray Bill than Thor.

They always look like they are wearing their underwear outside of their pants.
