You're confused. I'm not looking for a possible explanation. I'm also not upset about the character. I know human creativity has no bounds, and they could come up with an explanation if need be, but currently, they've given none. I'm simply pointing out that in the absence of an explanation, it is weird. And it makes…

The power of Thor means the power of Thor, not actually becoming the son of Odin. Thor is a guy that will still be walking around with his name and a history, he just won't have the power of the god of thunder, but apparently, this woman isn't the new god of thunder, she's the new Thor?

Jesus christ that makes even less sense. Though at least he got his own name when Thor became Thor again, instead of having two Thors walking around? Because this Lady Thor will be Thor, while old Thor is still walking around. This is weird. I know comic fans have accepted comics are weird, but I think even they are…

What are you saying? I'm saying taking the NAME Thor isn't about being worthy of living up to the name. If she can lift the hammer she's worthy of possessing the power of Thor, that doesn't suddenly make her Thor Odinson, ESPECIALLY when Thor is still walking around some place.

Do people respond positively to retcons in your experience? How about double retcons? I mean Thor's an actual guy with a first and last name, a guy that is ALSO going to exist in addition to this new woman. So they aren't even bringing back the idea that the Hammer makes you Thor, because Thor still exists. So…

Yeah I've seen people mention that. Wiki says thor was sealed in Eric's mind though. He wasn't wandering around as "Thor, but not Thor". I'm just saying it's weird and I can see why people would be confused.

Comic nerds forgetting about it doesn't invalidate the initial reaction. Someone becoming Thor, but not actually being Thor, while Thor actually exists is confusing so being confused is an appropriate response. His name is Thor Odinson right? The whole point of his character is that he's actual mythology come to life?…

There's no limit to the explanations for a different person suddenly taking another's name. It just makes sense that people's initial reaction would be "????". Right now, with the information they've given, it doesn't make much sense.

The new Thor is weird because Thor's not a title it's a name. It'd be like Miles Morales becoming Peter Parker after being bit by a spider. Wielding the hammer wouldn't make you Thor, just give you his powers.

That's because the people that praise or publicly attack statements or changes from companies, don't actually care much about comics, or video games, or whatever social issue they claim to be fighting against. They'd be leading campaigns to support those releases if they did.

I don't buy that new characters are doomed to fail at all. It's just everyone is pushed to the side when marvel would rather push 30-50 year old names instead of new ones, for obvious reasons.Ms Marvel was already a cool character before she became "Captain Marvel" and she could have made her way to the big screen.…

No it doesn't make any sense because they are referring to the woman as Thor. Thor isn't a title like Captain America, that's the guy's name. You don't become Thor by wielding the hammer, Thor is the name of the guy that wields the hammer. It's not about being worthy, or having nerve, it's literally adopting a guys…

Beck is such a good name. I'm glad they are doing this, I can actually donate when I get the chance. The animation was really cool. I hope this game turns out well.

"Because every Nicholas Sparks book and movie (and romcom drivel in general) is what men think is women want in the courting process and romantic relationships. " But I've never even met a guy that liked the notebook....Are romantic comedies in reality more popular with men than women? I thought the notebook was far…

Oh it doesn't at all but it's likely just something they never bothered to ask. They probably just liked him as a character and didn't think about how everyone else sounds different.

Kiosks would at the very least give it exposure beyond the enthusiasts. And you're right that vita's audience isn't kids, but it should be. Sony really should reposition it as a device for kids and casual gamers, people somewhat new to consoles.

Mhmmm. Which is kind of a problem selling it to the people that just see a bunch of ports ya know? Sony really need demo kiosks in malls so people who don't regularly visit gamestop can try out a few great games.

I hear you about price, but I really think you're robbing yourself. The vita does need a price cut so if it gets one soon I'd say it's something to really consider. A lot of people don't realize the value in having a portable console like the vita until they have one, and for many it becomes there most used console…

There remains an elephant in the room, however: The fact that Sony has slowed down in announcing new games made specifically for the Vita, opting instead to port over PS3 and PS4 games and re-release other games that can be played elsewhere. Are we recommending something that is in the process of being abandoned by…

I had no idea that was him O.o It's completely possible this is just one guy's interpretation of one character.
