As of late, Marvel has been making a lot of grand moves in terms of stories and plots. Nick Fury has been killed in Original sin, Wolverine is set to finally bite the bullet and die, the vast majority of women are getting their own series (She-Hulk, Elektra, and Black Widow) and perhaps the one that has been getting the most criticism by Beta Bros and Neckbeardians is the misleading headlines of "Thor Becomes a Woman"
Oh no, how dare they give a strong, powerful character boobies!
For context, for what has been shared about the new storyline involving Thor is that Thor Odinson (The one with chest hair and bare arms) will lose his hammer, Mjolnir. Thus along with his powers and abilities that came with them. Then the events following that a woman will wield the hammer and become the new Thor. Among them is Wrestlezones ever beloved Al Snow
While other claims against a woman being Thor are not as douchebaggery as Al Snow's. They're still pretty stupid in the grand scheme of things. Especially in the Marvel 616 universe. Here are a few of the reasons A woman can't be Thor.
Thor is a man in Norse mythology, therefor he should stay a man.
Yes, people have said this. People like Al Snow have said this. Mind you, in the Marvel universe, there have been others that have been called "Thor." The list infamously includes an alien horse (Beta Ray Bill) and a Frog. Then again, Bill and the Frog were dudes, so that was okay I guess.
This is just a publicity stunt/wanting to attract more female readers
This is truly a mind boggler because I do not see where the problem is in the business world. This isn't the first, or the last time a white male character is going to be usurped and replaced by someone who isn't a white male. For now, Thor is going to be the eighth female character in a lead role in a Marvel comic book. Which is a huge step forward and what I personally feel with bring a broader fan base to Comic books.
How do you guys feel? Do you think the New Thor is a breath of fresh air in comics, or were you one of the many men who threw down their mountain dew and their fedoras in outrage. Shouting against "Feminism" and "Political Correctness?"

(Sauce)Piece of Shit Al Snow said:The sound of thunder is no longer Thor's hammer. It's a pissed-off Lady-Thor stomping round Asgard and noisily filling the dishwasher while she waits for someone to ask her what's wrong...
