“This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR." - @jasonaaron

Co-host Jenny McCarthy stepped in with a little more background, saying it was a woman who was saved by Thor and then followed him to Earth. After Thor is found unworthy (by Odin, one would imagine), the power and duty that come with Mjolnir pass over to her.

Are they talking about in the comic, or the movie-verse, or what the **** is goin on right now?

comics. but no one knows how it will affect the movie verse like if Thor loses his power and this is the backstory or whatever.

 

[100proof]

There's no way they turn thor into a chick in the movies, just like they wont turn cap black either

 

[lamekilla]

It's for the comics. Which will eventually get retconned

Marvel's Official Press Release

Marvel is excited to announce an all-new era for the God of Thunder in brand new series, THOR, written by Jason Aaron (Thor: God of Thunder, Original Sin) complimented with art from Russell Dauterman (Cyclops).

This October, Marvel Comics evolves once again in one of the most shocking and exciting changes ever to shake one of Marvel’s “big three” – Captain American, Iron Man and Thor – Marvel Comics will be introducing an all-new THOR, GOD OF THUNDER. No longer is the classic male hero able to hold the mighty hammer, Mjölnir, a brand new female hero will emerge who will be worthy of the name THOR. Who is she? Where did she come from and what is her connection to Asgard and the Marvel Universe?

“The inscription on Thor's hammer reads ‘Whosoever holds this hammer, if HE be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.’ Well it's time to update that inscription,” says Marvel editor Wil Moss. “The new Thor continues Marvel's proud tradition of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and more. And this new Thor isn't a temporary female substitute - she's now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!”

Series writer Jason Aaron emphasizes, “This is not She-Thor. This is not Lady Thor. This is not Thorita. This is THOR. This is the THOR of the Marvel Universe. But it’s unlike any Thor we’ve ever seen before.”

THOR is the latest in the ever-growing and long list of female-centric titles that continues to invite new readers into the Marvel Universe. This female THOR is the 8th title to feature a lead female protagonist and aims to speak directly to an audience that long was not the target for Super Hero comic books in America: women and girls.

Wow.

Gonna be funny in 10-12 years to see Jennifer Lawrence as Bruce Wayne. Selena Gomez as Clark Kent.


Good Lord.

Thor always been a woman

But really there's been like 5 female Thors/chicks that had the hammer for a while. Just a few short years ago Loki body snatched Sif's body

It's still by Aaron so it should be great. Besides Thor is running around with a big ol axe now

I will say though, it's very funny watching you guys (over)react to this like it's all just a gimmick and nothing more or trying to connect this to the movies. They been pulling this stuff in comics for over 70 years. There's female versions of every popular superhero.

Get ready for the Iron Man announcement next in comics when he gets replaced by his brother Arno.

Don't know why the comics news is in this thread anyway

Oh okay, yeah they made my girl Rachel ugly. Rooney could actually play Loki a type.

It's not going to get retconned. Things will just change back to the status quo. Retcon means that it'll be erased from continuity. Highly doubt they do that to Aaron any time soon.

Marvel teased a "big" announcement a couple of days ago that would happen on The View. We all thought it was somehow related to the marvel movie verse.
