I'm not, Old Thor had the metal arm in the future bits from the very first issue of Aaron's run. He's not getting the arm back as long as Aaron is writing him (and honestly I don't know why a future writer would undo it). The question is if we see Thor lose the eye too in his run.

Eh, if he were going to lose it, he would have lost it sometime around Thor Ragnarok's release date. Now that the MCU version has both back again, the power of movie synchronicity is on Thor's side. I mean, unless they just do exactly the same thing as the MCU and promptly replace it with a cybernetic one that looks identical.

Comic Thor is probably keeping his eye until if and when he gets All-Father powers, because that's the same deal Odin made.

I was just saying that Aaron foreshadowed Thor losing an arm and an eye from the start and we've seen Thor lose an arm. I don't think Marvel cares as much about synchronicity between the movies and comics now as they did when they went through all that effort to make Nick Fury Young, Gifted and Black.

Iike, iirc the Russo's had to ask Chadwick what would be a good battle cry for the Wakanda battle scene because they hadn't seen anything from the black panther script, and I'm betting the rocket gives Thor an eye scene is because they had already filmed a bunch of stuff with hemsworth not knowing he loses an eye in ragnarok. It feels so unnecessary I can't think of any other reason why they would do it

Dragoncon and both Megacons are always booze-soaked and drug-fuelled affairs, but the latter is run by weirdos so for the most part the really hosed up stuff keeps to the area hotels. I have friends who "attend megacon" but don't once go to the convention center the whole weekend and their experiences are almost always more interesting than mine, if not explicitly better.

Metrocon in Tampa is also great because they have a hotel with bars and outdoor balcony pools directly connected to the convention center by a bridge over the road, which gets completely filled with cosplayers every year. It's also utterly terrifying because it's one of these hotels but like 20 stories: Staying there gives me serious vertigo. I'm always shocked that there's no deaths. chitoryu12 fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Dec 31, 2018 |

I don't get how such a dangerous and nauseating hotel plan became so popular.

I vaguely remember him losing both eyes, getting greater power and vision than Odin, stopping fate, dissolving the entire Pantheon and then becoming some kind of super cosmic being.

Speaking of cons and dangerous/weird settings, Kansas City's Naka Kon used to be held in the very same building where this happened. https://i.redd.it/0jrystnknl601.jpg The Hyatt Regency.

fwiw by my knowledge those tower atrium hotels are perfectly fine from a structural engineering perspective, that specific Regency aside. They're not actually any more hazardous or risky than other hotel designs, they just are proportioned internally such that they cause people (including me) to experience a touch of vertigo.
