Can someone tell me which series (and maybe which issues) show Wolverine losing his healing factor for good recently?
You know, that stuff that leads to him getting offed in 3 months. |

Just read some Ultimates for the first time and wow at how fucking awful Thor is there.
A dirty hippie activist. What a shitty reimagining. And Hawkeye looks like a faggot with those earrings. |

Are you fucking kidding?
Ultimates vol.1 - he's a fucking hippie activist, always speaking up against governments, saying he will only join the Ultimates if the POTUS doubles huminatarian aid budget, talking about saving the environmnent and whatnot. He is awful there. I can only hope he gets better later on. |

He's awesome because they keep you guessing as to whether he is the real deal or not.
Also, as much as I love 616 Thor, he's kind of one dimensional. The Ultimates version is at the very least a more interesting take on the character. Also, Ultimates 3 is garbage by the way. Takes everything cool about Ultimates, throws it out the window, and basically turns it into a generic 90's team superhero book. |

And back to Thor, ok, I gotta agree it's pretty fun with this whole "is he crazy or really a god", but that activist bullshit gets on my nerves. Never met a norse god, but that doesn't seem like shit they'd get into.

Nah Ultimates 3 was the awful one by Jeph Loeb involving terrible stuff that I don't even remember. Think it was the Scarlet Witch getting shot, or something.

Strange since that series is generally regarded to be fairly good, although I've not made it that far yet myself.

Ultimatum is probably the worst thing I've ever read. It's like the comic equivalent of a sociopathic 9-year-old's action figure playtime. "And... and... Then Blob EATS HER! And like 20 people drown over there but we won't show it!"

So apparently Thor is soon to be replaced by a female Thor.

Seems kind of dumb seeing as how Thor was the character's name not the persona's name like they could do with Spiderman. Whatever though, it's Marvel so I'm sure usual Thor will be back by next summer when Avenger's comes around.

Well, considering that Thor has been a frog and a lizard-alien thing, I don't think a woman is that big a stretch.

So yeah. Naming her Thor doesn't make sense to me either. Also, they've already had a female Thor for years. She's called Valkyrie. Dunno why they didn't just give her a series. Will wait to read tho, as any concept can be good if written well. |

Yeah the concept of the story I have absolutely no problem with, could be very cool, just calling her Thor seems odd.

I remember years ago when they had Eric Masterson (sp?) replace Thor for whatever reason, I thought that was pretty cool, but again I don't think he was called Thor they gave him some other name.

Someone just showed me that. I'm not a comic reader so I didn't know if it was breaking news or something. I came here to tell you about it anyway but it's not as new as I thought. http://marvel.com/news/comics/2014/7..._presents_thor
I do know that comics undo things like crazy, though. A character dies "for realsies" but is ressurected by something or someone a few issues later, for example. Male Thor will do something to make up for whatever he did to mess up and be back eventually, Why the sigh from Kalyx? New character for MvC4. Just 10 more years to wait. |

I commented on i09 that her keeping the Thor name was very senseless, in that Thor is 'Thor' because that's the name his parents gave him. The hammer gives you the power of Thor, but it doesn't make you Thor. You're just worthy at the time. Essentially they wanted to keep the title on the book for sales.
Bear in mind it's already been mentioned that Valkyrie is essentially Batwoman to Thor's Batman. She could have the hammer without having the name (it could very well be her, though). And what about Lady Sif? She's had way more exposure after two movies and one of the most fun episodes of Agents. Just comes off strange, abrupt, and desperate - sense this is mostly to score points with the SJW/Feminist crowd. Falcon may well take a turn as the new Captain America for similar reasons (though there's more narrative weight to that at least). So no this doesn't excite me for a new character in a game. She's not gonna last long enough to be in a game anyway. Alt costume DLC fodder, at best. |

I wonder if people will be as pissed about Captain America being black as they are about Thor being a woman.
This looks like it's just an alternate series of comics but the "real" Captain America and Thor will continue. Is that it? |

No, it's the 616 Universe. These are the replacements for now.
And it's Falcon, he more than earned the title long ago. It makes more sense than a possibly random chick being named Thor. A woman wielding the hammer isn't really an issue (at least for people who aren't assholes). |

Is it 616 as in the devil?
It's hard to tell who is mad because it's a woman and who's mad because they hate change of any kind. |

Nerdrage can be anything.
616 is the designation for the main Marvel comics universe. |

It's also the real number of the beast. Some ancient king read it and said it must be a mistake and it must actually be three 6's. It always was supposed to be 616.

I'm cool with Falcon being Cap-- in fact, I kinda wished that he inherited the mantle back when Rogers died after Civil War.
I do think, though, that this isn't being done as any sort of natural progression of characters or story, and more just a way to garner attention and get pats on the back for being 'so progressive.' Otherwise a black Cap and a female Thor wouldn't be rolling out at the exact same time. So, it's a good move, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth because I feel like they're doing it for cynical reasons. |
