I can't imagine anything you could say to Thor that would make him unworthy. His worthiness is not determined by him -- it's Odin's magic in the hammer that makes the decision. Thor doesn't have to know that he's unworthy -- he'll find out when he tries to pick up Mjolnir. This kind of thing happened to Beta Ray Bill when he was on the hunt for Galactus.

Something like Doesn't it feel awesome to be worthy?—something that makes it a point of pride. Being Thor becomes a selfish, unworthy thing if you feel superior to anyone who can't lift the hammer or just take that hammer-endorsement as a magical confirmation that you're  amazing.Jane's dying from Thorness, which makes it about as selfless as becoming a literal god can be.

You know it didn't occur to me until just now, thinking about gwenpool's knowledge of the MU being a fictional place, I wonder of antiman, Galactus, and Eternity are eluding to also knowing that fact in ultimates #5.

CapnAndy posted:I think it is. Thor is needed, Jane is fantastic at being Thor, and she's saving lives, but it's also killing her and making her act in ways she feels uncomfortable with, and she's too high on the hammer to care. Those are all true statements. So, Mjolnir is killing her because she has cancer and it's purging the anti-cancer drugs from her system when she transforms, right? Or is the hammer itself directly causing her cancer? Couldn't she just stay powered up as Thor until she has time to set aside to do the chemo properly/a cure for cancer is discovered?

CapnAndy posted:It's the first one. Chemo is poison, as soon as she transforms Mjolnir purges all the poison from her body and leaves the cancer a clear field when she turns back. And yes, she could concievably stay Thor all the time, but Jane Foster has important work to do too and her absence would be noted. And putting aside the hammer until the chemo does its job and she's in remission is also an option, except for how people are dying right now and also she enjoys it too much. Reminds me a little of Captain Marvel; his Nega-Bands were slowing the progress of the cancer, but they were also preventing treatments from working.

Does Lady Death have a following? They own every other Chaos Comics! property and actively pursued the Lady Death rights. There was some behind the scenes fuckery in the Chaos bankruptcy that pushed LD apart from the rest of their properties. She had a fairly huge following 15 years ago. These days I have no idea. The new book tomorrow has the original writer back in the saddle so that might be enough to being some fans back.

Does Lady Death have a following? They literally have a character like this. Basically a Lady Death with the serial number filed off, I assume made up when they said "gently caress that, keep her" to the owner. (I read all of Swords of Sorrow, which had the Chaos chicks as the villain's heavies. And I have like 5 issues of the Chaos series that they got Tim Seeley to do, as a result of a billion different Dynamite bundles all tossing it in)

Man the Bad Girls trend was really weird to live through. Dozens of tiny little publishers that would never have made a loving ripple in comic shops otherwise were getting variant covers and writeups in Wizard just because they had some half naked lady mascot.

Gary Numan's album Sacrifice was released in the US as "Dawn", not only with a different piece of Dawn art than appears in the ubiquitous ads, but different art for each song page in the CD booklet and limited edition Chromium cover. Full disclosure: I have a Gary Numan signed Crypt of Dawn comic.
