The Question IRL posted:Fun fact if you go back and look at the trade paper backs of Knights End (where Batman comes back and claims his title back of Jean Paul Valley) there is a bit where Az-Bat is talking about how he is a good guy because he beats up villains. Wrong Batman/Punisher crossover. Azbats and Jigsaw were in Lake of Fire by Denny O'Neil. "And the damned do not always scream and moan. Sometimes they suffer in silence." Don't know why I still remember that after all these years.

Do we know why Thor is Unworthy? Is it something hinted at or one of those "we'll figure it out at some point" things writers do?

This happened in August 2014. Thor has been Unworthy for 2 and a half years at this point.

To be honest the only acceptable explanation at this point would be that Nick Fury whispered some kinda failsafe spell he learned from some old tomes. It would be a copout, but at least it wouldn't be retarded.

Like the actual hint in Unworthy 2 is Thor has a dream sequence where upon he's being crushed by Mjollnir's and then the God Butcher shows up and says "You're afraid I was right" EDIT: Actual dialog " 'What if they really are better off without us' Thor wondered in fear, even as he swung his mighty hammer. 'What if a Godless Age is what they deserve?' 'What if Gorr isn't a madman at all' 'Gods help us, what if he's...'" So yeah, intent seems to be that the whisper is related to Gods being obsolete... Which is loving dumb. Onmi fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Dec 9, 2016 |

Also, during the "Time Runs Out" storyline, he grabs the hammer of Thorr, which requires the wielder to be unworthy, and right before he charges at the bad guys, he can no longer carry the unworthy hammer.

Not to mention that it's not up to Thor or anything he knows/thinks he knows to decide whether or not he's worthy. It's Odin's frickin' spell, and it knows what's going on.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, whatever nick fury said to odinson made him SUPER GAY and the hammer is not cool with that.

The entire point of that whole sequence is that he's not unworthy anymore. The hammer was responding to him being willing to die to save some kid he'd never met. The Collector is such a loving goon that he doesn't get it so he's going to make him fight towards the thing over and over so he can measure worthiness on his space scanners.

Yes but why is he dreaming of that being crushed by many Mjollnir's if it doesn't have something to do with it? And. at the least, then we can go "Jane got the hammer because she's a human and not a God." Which is still retarded, but if you don't think the answer to this whisper ISN'T going to be Retarded...

It wasn't something Fury said, it was his hot insistent wet probing tongue gently entering Thor Odinson's ear, tracing every crevice softly, gently, and the little nip of the earlobe at the end THEN it was, that Thor Odinson became gay, and unworthy

This all makes me ask two things: One - when did Mjolnir suddenly become sentient? I've seen folks post about this in the past. Just curious when the all happened. Two - how come Jane Foster, a human, is suddenly transformed into a god? I mean, this just kinda came into my head. Thor (Odinson) is a god and he wields a magic hammer giving him even more power. But he's a god (or magical Asgardian, whatever hand-wave). So he's tough even without Mjjjornilir. But since when does the hammer have the ability to turn a normal whatever into a god? Is it a radioactive hammer giving the proportionate strength and speed of a stone hammer to it's worthy weirder? Where did this new ability of the hammer come from? The whole Don Blake thing was a disguise - not empowering a human, no matter how worthy - with this power.

Ferrule posted:This all makes me ask two things: 1. On October 19th. quote:Ages ago, an unimaginably powerful cosmic storm called the God Tempest approached Asgard. Called the "Mother of Thunder," the storm possessed the power to knock planets out of their orbit and make black holes shake. Odin, chief of the Norse gods, battled the storm for many days when it threatened Asgard. Once the storm was weakened enough, Odin defeated the God Tempest by trapping it into a chunk of Uru that was given to him by the Dwarves of Nidavellir as a gift. 2. Understand that the hammer has... changed how exactly it works over the years. In the beginning Donald Blake was a human man who turned into a super hero with the hammer. Then it was revealed he was Actually Thor and all that. Basically, where the Hammer sits now is sort of just a mid-point of how it worked. Now it bestows "The Powers of Thor" even though that doesn't really make much sense since Thor didn't derive his powers from the hammer until very recently. In short. It's magic. Ain't gotta explain poo poo. There are examples of it in the past. Erik Masterson who later became Thunderstrike was Thor for a while (After being merged with Thor). It worked that way when Beta Ray Bill was first introduced, later Bill got Stormbringer which has "Energy Projection" to simulate the lightning. There are also examples of the Hammer absolutely not working that way, but as with all things Comic Books, you can basically pick and choose.

Donald Blake wasn't originally just a disguise. In early Thor, he was an existing person that Odin had shunted Thor into, which is really weird ethically if you think about it, but I don't think 60's Thor concerned itself with this much. That got retconned later to Blake having been a mortal disguise devised by Odin who had never been anything but a shell for an amnesiac Thor, but originally (when the "if he be worthy..." thing was written), Blake was an actual mortal whose body was transformed by the hammer.
