It really can't be anybody other than Roz just because nobody else really seems to care about the Roxxon stuff. (I'd have no problem with it being Jane though)

I'm certain its Roz, but only because if it is Jane, my theory for what Fury told Odinson to make him unworthy doesn't hold up. My pet theory is that he said something along the lines of 'She would have beaten the cancer on her own.' the implication being that Thor went behind Jane's back to cure her cancer, hence her Ambassador to Asgard position.

But her having cancer doesn't mean she can't pick up the hammer and become Thor while holding it, she was also given free reign of the bifrost to go wherever she pleases (if she did pick the hammer up from the Moon).

Movie synergy says it's Jane because she the only character the theoretical movie drawn new readers can name. One day it'll work just you wait.

Waterhaul posted:It really can't be anybody other than Roz just because nobody else really seems to care about the Roxxon stuff. Yeah. She's the only one who'd care and know Dario, she's the only female character with any significant role in Aaron's run, the internal dialogue doesn't fit someone who has already experienced superpowers (which actually includes Jane, since as the love interest in a comic book of course she has received powers several times) and I think she commented on how the hammer changed her hair color or something herself didn't she? But unless Aaron thinks the readers are extremely stupid the pretty obvious hints in the issue really clash with them still selling it as a big mystery.

That's why I am convinced that current Thor is a human. Possibly not Roz, but definitely a human.

I'm still putting money on it being in Thor's head and only people he subconsciously judges worthy can lift it. Because Mjolnir gaining sentience is dumb.

My guess is that it has to do with the whole Valhalla deal, like "If you can't die then there were 0 risks in all your fights" thus a human who is willing to risk her very life at every moment she wields the hammer becomes worthy.

If I had to guess, I'd say that Fury told Thor that he is either afraid of a true death or losing the Earth, and that the mere mention of it made him afraid, thus making him unworthy.

I'm dropping the book, the identity bullshit has gone on so long it's made the switch feel like a hollow attention grab because we sure as poo poo didn't get an actual character out of the switch, we got a cardboard standee with a question mark over the face.

Yes it makes sense to drop the book just prior to the identity reveal (that you already know), when the last number of issues have been full of character development and shown them adjusting to the monicker of Thor and how they're different to Odinson as well as building the book around other characters (dumb reaction) to there being a new Thor. Everything has been building on Roz taking over, how Odinson and Asgrad reacts and continuing the Roxxon and Maleketh introduced in God of Thunder. It's not as if the book has been doing nothing and it's just changed things for nothing.

I love that this is very much a super hero story. It was pretty much a fantasy book during Aaron's first volume. Next issue looks like the perfect cap on this arc.

It's still not Roz and even if it was I don't care anymore. Two pages of character development and the rest is all about how the predominantly male cast is impacted by her. She's a plot device and I no longer have faith that Aaron will have her be anything else. Hopefully she'll be interesting under another writer. But you are right I should have dropped it when it didn't grab me three issues in per my rule instead of sticking it out this long.

The books are maybe 10 % about "woe us men, who can the new Thor be?!". It's 70 % Thor kicking rear end and 20 % Roxxon/Malekith plotting. And even Odin/Thor trying to find out is mostly to give Thor another chance to kick Destroyer rear end. I don't get your complaint at all.

I've been catching up with current marvel stuff, I hear the new thor is really great but the only panels ive seen are the absorbing ma and titiania fight, where the dialogue is super hamfisted and poorly done, is that kinda out of line for the rest of the comic or the normal quality of writing? i dont care that thor's a lady or anything it just seemed kinda dumb.

They don't really do anything like that again, no. You should read Thor: God of Thunder first though, because it's awesome and also because it directly leads into the current Thor. It's 25 issues, and they should all be on Marvel Unlimited by now.

Yeah start on God of Thunder. It's the "proper" catch up point for current Thor and is a good book in it's own right and I think you won't feel a drop in quality when female Thor comes around.

Main thing that I'm now worried about is if the sales numbers for the next couple of issues plummet, it'll encourage more over-long 'mysteries' like this.
