It grew out of the idea of the previous Thor becoming unworthy, which was something I was always building toward…That opened the door for someone else to pick up the hammer and carry it around in his place. They made Odin a misogynistic idiot, just so they could flaunt lady thors 'feminist' character. She could have been a strong female lead without the exaggeration of her environment, a contrived plot created to make feminist Thor appear all the more noble. So were there ever any other women from the Marvel Universe who were considered to be the new Goddess of Thunder? Not really, according to Jason Aaron “I think we only ever really talked about Jane. Lady Thor isnt inherently wrong, its just the writing is so bad. It also appears that the magic transitions actually are making her condition worse. In an interview with Vulture, writer Jason Aaron revealed that whenever Jane Foster lifts the hammer, she becomes a superpowered god when she’s not using it, she transforms back into her weakened mortal self. In the comics, Jane Foster has been battling breast cancer, and it appears that in her mortal form, she still has it.
FEMALE THOR MOVIE
The identity of the female Thor has been revealed in this week’s issue #8, and it’s none other than…(It’s your last chance to avoid SPOILERS, folks, so turn back now or forever hold your peace) …Jane Foster, Thor’s long time love interest, who is played by Natalie Portman in the movie series. Fan guesses ranged from the very obvious (Lady Sif, Valkyrie, Angela) to the little more off-kilter (Amora the Enchantress, due to her blonde hair, and even Thor’s mother, Frigga) to the straight-up WTF (Gwen Stacy?! Yes, I saw someone out there suggest that for reals.) Well, wonder no more, Asgardian fans.
FEMALE THOR SERIES
Series writer Jason Aaron, who also led Thor: God of Thunder, strongly believes that the new female Thor fits perfectly into the lore stretching all the way back to the 1960s.Ever since Jason Aaron’s new Thor series came out at Marvel, featuring a mysterious woman wielding the hammer and name of the Norse God of Thunder, people have been wondering who exactly is behind that masked helmet. The sales numbers do suggest that our new female Thor will be around for a while - despite the protests of some angered comic book readers who vocally opposed the new superhero lead when the news was announced last summer. Is the new Thor bringing more female comic book fans to the series? Unfortunately, the data - which was first compiled by Fusion - does not offer any insights into who is buying these comics, so we may never know unless Marvel releases some data of its own. It's not clear what specifically accounts for the increased North American sales. The following issues, which sold fewer overall copies across both series, also show roughly 30 percent higher sales for the new female-led Thor series.įirst five copies are doing significantly better than Thor: God of Thunder For instance, last fall's "Thor #1" sold 150,862 copies compared to 110,443 copies of "Thor: God of Thunder #1" in 2012 - a 36 percent increase. The first five issues featuring the mysterious new female Thor have handily outsold the five issues that launched the previous Thor series, Thor: God of Thunder, in 2012.Īccording to data from comic book store distributor Diamond Comic Distributors, which has exclusive agreements with Marvel, DC, and others in North America, each issue in the new series Thor Vol 4 has routinely sold 30 percent more copies than the corresponding original five issues of Thor: God of Thunder.
FEMALE THOR UPDATE
It turns out the new female Thor isn't just helping Marvel update its comic books for the world we live in today - it's also good business. Thor Love and Thunder’s leaked set photos give first look at Natalie Portman’s female Thor, Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie Thor: Love and Ragnarok set photos are not only revealing new details about the movie, but also tease how the actors are going to look in their respective characters and also a few plot details.
