TWITTER BUZZ: Marvel's New Female THOR

TWITTER BUZZ: Marvel's New Female THOR

Yesterday the internet exploded with the news that Marvel's current incarnation of the God Of Thunder would be replaced, and a new female character would take up the mantle of Thor. Check out some of the reactions, including Joss Whedon's, who apparently likes Katee Sackhoff for the movie version!

The reactions have mainly been positive, but there's a few (mostly jokey) negative comments, and some feel that -- although they don't have a problem with the character being a woman -- Marvel's motivations might be a bit shady, or that it's just another headline grab from the publisher, and that Thor will be back to his masculine, long flowing blond locked old self in no time anyway. Here's a batch of the best reactions, but be sure to leave your own in the usual place.

This'll last what, 3 maybe 4 months before it's just stupid?

I take that back, it's already stupid. But I'm curious as to when it will be stupider.

I just don't understand as to why it's a big deal. I actually don't mind that Thor is a female.

It's incredible and hilarious. RT @gerrycanavan: Identity panic over effing THOR has got to be the zero-level of white dudeism.

I don't understand why they're calling this person a female Thor? Will their name actually be Thor? Aren't they just wielding Mjolnir and wearing a version of his armor? I'm confused by this.

It's not the idea itself that's insulting or idiotic. Thor can be a woman or even a [frick]ing Dalek under the right circumstances.

It's just in THIS CASE,it's clearly Marvel implementing ANOTHER stupid gimmick. DC's ideas, for the time being, are just variant covers. Marvel on the other hand is just making changes for the sake of a quick buck.

REBOOT MARVEL!!!

"I find Marvel's patronising, "We make comics for girls because we guess they don't like comics starring boys" attitude quite sickening"

Whiny fanboy is whiny.

@yossarian

He was a wrestler..

From people bitching about a black non-Peter Parker Spider-Man to people bitching about a non-Thor Odinson Thor, it just clearly shows how racist and sexist some of these fanboys really are. With a huge twist of ignorance to the mix.

So if you don't like the idea of turning Thor into a woman for the sake of turning Thor into a woman, you're a sexist?

Katie Sackhoff should be Carol Danvers
Ivonne Strahovski should be The Enchantress

if and when they do a female Thor then ideally someone like Carol Danvers/Ms Marvel would be 'worthy enough to wield Mjolnir' (in Marvel Phase 4)
