These Changing Times
BUT, when Thor gets changed, I rise in opposition...
On the National Review website, Jim Geraghty recently reported on this:
"The surprises came in a trio: First, Marvel Comics announced that the character of Thor, based upon the Norse God of Thunder, would become a woman. The second surprise was the venue in which the switch was announced — ABC’s feminine-minded daytime talk show The View — but perhaps that was predictable, considering that Marvel and ABC Television are both owned by Disney. But the third, and biggest, surprise is that anyone thought this was a good idea.
'This is not She-Thor,' senior writer Jason Aaron said in a Marvel release. '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.'"
