PaybackJack posted:I think we can deduce some of what makes Thor unworthy with some assumptions. Nah you see, I think this is a psychosomatic thing. I understand where you are coming from as a lot of bad, cocky assholes have tried to wield Mjolnor and failed but I think it was because deep down they knew they weren't worthy. And or Mjolnor sort of reads a persons mind/past to determine it. For example, Dr. Doom well and truly believed he was going to wield Mjolnor in the run up to Civil War, but as soon as he tried and failed to pick it up he was pretty much all "I really thought I could do it." When it comes to Thor, during Dan Jurgen's "The Reigning" Thor loses the ability to wield Mjolnor after seemingly killing Jake Olson. And Mjolnor is left in New York, until his Son Magni starts rocking it. But at the end of the story when he has to fight Super Mega Destroyer, he realizes the reason he stopped being able to wield Mjolnor was he stopped believing he was worthy based on what he had been doing. So I think belief is a huge part of it. Thor currently believes he is unworthy and will have to undertake some quest to purge that belief. As for what the whisper was, I'm sure it was "Sif only SAID she was 18."

PaybackJack posted:The only reason Thor is unworthy of the hammer is because he now knows the secret; the existence of the secret had no bearing on him wielding the hammer prior to this point. I'm still of the mind that Fem-Thor is going to be Jane Foster, after Thor magics her better against her will. I'm picturing the secret whispered will be something along the lines of "She was at peace with dying, and you took that away from her." That's a pretty dishonorable thing to do, if you ask me. Sure, at the time, Thor wouldn't think anything of it. He gets to swoop in and be the hero, save her life, feel better about himself, etc. He's still worthy to wield the hammer. But it's not what she wants. She even told him to his face that she's OK with dying. Now that he knows that what he did wasn't heroic at all, he's unworthy. He probably knew deep down that it was wrong, but didn't own up to it until it was thrown in his face. CzarChasm fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Aug 14, 2014 |

Jane has told Thor that like 4 times though. Why would it affect him more from Fury? Making the main love interest character the female version of the hero is the most cliche way to go too.

It would be funny if the secret got out and goons everywhere started weaponizing it whenever Thor comes knocking. Just dudes with megaphones yelling "You eat your own boogers" at Thor when he's mid flight causing him to drop to the ground.

I like to think that Aaron's a better writer than that. It needs to be something situational, something that only applies to the moment at hand. That's why my money's on, simply: "Your fly is open."

I haven't been following this series closely, but as I understand, the heroes are fighting over Uatu's eyes, which contain all his knowledge. Why would his eyes contain his knowledge? Wouldn't that all be in his brain?Beanpants posted:It would be funny if the secret got out and goons everywhere started weaponizing it whenever Thor comes knocking.

I supposed I shouldn't be shocked this question was asked. Literary concept? "Why doesn't Spiderman webs come out of his anus?" You know what, let's explore that. It must be asked. Then let's segue into his radioactive fluids and how it affects Mary Jane.

Shouldn't his eyes be seriously decomposed by now? It's been a while since he was killed. I'm surprised none of the characters in the book have remarked about them smelling funny. At what point will tissue decay destroy the information that is (somehow) encoded in his eyes?

I was suprised to see that Uatu's eyes have an iris and pupil. Usually when we see him they are just blank. Usually solid white, although in Original Sin #0 they are pitch black. What gives?

I honestly think it has something to do with Toruun his and Sif's kid. This past week's Avengers World had those kid Avengers from Bendis's Avengers run. And to me in my mind she's the obvious new Thor.

Unmature posted:Why are we assuming the Watcher's physiology is anything like a human's. They really aren't. Even by the story, Watcher is shot in the brain, has an eye gouged out and he still is alive. And way back during Quasar, Watchers all started dropping dead as a result of the idea spreading among their race that the act of Watching constitutes an interference. And they just died. Then when Quasar argued that even dying like that was interfering and that they may as well live, all the Dead Watchers just willed themselves back to life. As that's a thing they can do. Point is, Watcher's physiology is truly beyond mortal beings understanding.
