3) one of the worst received and abysmal selling storylines in recent times does not lead one to believe that it will be a good and profitable move for the movies. This is pure 100% identity politics.

Not often I give you credit on a thread but credit where credit is due on that last post buddy.
I am starting to think that if me and you only talked about Comics, whisky and breasts we might actually get along just fine!

Even in the comics she called herself Thor like it was a title.
No she called herself Thordis

Opinions and assholes, yeah!
You guys need another hobby, this false outrage # is getting very tiresome and old! and then you wonder why folk label you the way they do.
Props to Shooterbrody for calling out your outright lies, trying to paint a false picture to fit your narrative, you people always accuse others of identity politics, whilst playing that exact thing yourselves, it's comical!
... and then you try to hinge your argument on one tiny aspect, hoping it will stick because deep down you probably know how stupid the initial argument is! i.e Thor is his name she can't become Thor therefore I win ..... sigh, go ask Odin ...or ya know read the comics!
Marvel do an interpretation of Norse Gods/mythology etc ... I have no idea why people are finding this so hard to understand?

Calm down... it's just a story.
You want a good reason why female Thor is stupid? How about the fact that Thor is a person and Male. It isnt a title its HIS name.
Okay. I guess you're not bothered then that Marvel appropriated the name of a Norse God for their comics? It's just bad if the name "Thor" is appropriated for a woman?
In my opinion, the bigger problem is that once again -- in typical feminist style -- a woman has to compete with and or assume the position of the man, and presumably the masculine nature of Thor. Given that Thor is a well known and well loved character, I don't see the need or the wisdom in replacing him. And especially not with a woman. But it's also rather typical for women to be expected to pick up the slack and/or clean up the messes men leave in their wake. So I guess to that extent, I'm not surprised. And, of course, when Thor resumes his position, her deeds will be attributed to Thor the God rather than the Goddess. But, again, typical. It isn't unusual for men to take credit for women's work.
I would have much preferred to see another female character brought into the picture, perhaps Hel, Goddess of the Underworld, who also happens to be Thor's niece/Loki's daughter. A woman whose character, skills, etc., could be developed and expanded for her own purposes. It would be fun to see what havoc she could raise, eh?
Personally, I would think feminists would prefer to see a woman excel in her own right, rather than as a shadow of a man. But feminist logic doesn't usually make much sense to me, so what do I know?
one of the worst received and abysmal selling storylines in recent times does not lead one to believe that it will be a good and profitable move for the movies. This is pure 100% identity politics.
Well, darn, I thought they were in the business of making money and were making the most of identity politics to do so. I guess I was wrong. They just want to play identity politics and are squandering their profits in the process. Sounds like a recipe for failure to me.

For some reason when anyone raises a dislike of anything feminist its automatically defined as anti woman misogyny.
I think this particular case is pandering and I have no problem with women characters.
Buffy summers,,,,and willow
Ellen Ripley
Sarah Conner
Katniss everdeen
Xena
Alice, resident evil
Trinity, matrix
Any woman from LOTR
All great characters.
All stood on their own.
