>fun lovable comic-relief character turns into gritty violent avenger after kids get killed in front of him >literally Penance all over again >readers are so desperate to have a male thor around that they will accept such hack writing
Capeshit is inherently shoddy due to thematic trickledown and extremely tired concepts
Just stop following it and leave the dying industry behind you
Anthony Diaz
It really is 90s extreme with a slightly different art style.
Evan King
People who confuse straight serious stories with edginess/extreme stuff need to die off like the cancerous absolutist sith mother fuckers they are.
Ultimatum & Nemesis were edgy crap, this was not.
James Wood
I didn't call it edgy, I called it retarded, althought, I should've called it like that. Having young children get blown to bits in the arms of the one jovial family-man character and have him experience PSTD and turn into the warmongering Thor of War covered in the blood and guts of his enemies is the defition of a grittier and edgier makover.
There's nothing serious or mature. Give me a fucking break it's still shit, clichéd writing.
Thomas Howard
I haven't read any Thor since it turned into Journey Into Mystery again but is anything worth reading past that?
Jack Peterson
Ultimatum and Nemesis were fun this is crap
James Rivera
>but is anything worth reading past that? God Butcher/God Bomb is among the greatest Thor comics ever made. Here 1-12. readcomiconline.to/Comic/Thor-God-of-Thunder Ignore anyone who says it ripped off Jurgens run, it used similar ideas but did them better in every way.
Grayson Moore
But good people DO have horrible shit happen to them in real life sometimes, there is nothing cringy or childish about showing it happen in comics.
Carson Morgan
it won't last for long, once war Thor sees he scaring other kids he will drop the hammer.
Gavin Gomez
If that's your counterargument, then you have no idea what is actually angering people here.
Colton Taylor
Taste this poor seems impossible.
Brandon Nguyen
>Volstagg's family killed
Why does Marvel have such a hate boner toward families and children?
If Superman was Marvel Jon would have died in his arms by now.
Did Hilde survive at least?
Jacob Taylor
>>fun lovable comic-relief character turns into gritty violent avenger after kids get killed in front of him Volstagg? Not his kids ;_;
Connor Kelly
>Ultimatum >Fun
Git gud, this is not even a bait.
Isaiah Rivera
BUT THAT'S COOL I SWEAR YOU TUMBLARDS NEED TO GO BACK TO MS MARVEL
Brayden Martinez
I liked Ultimatum too, even though it threw out a lot of possible stories and characters. It was nice to have an event that wasn't immediately erased with most, if not every, character fine afterwards.
Carter Bennett
It wasn't his family though. Just a bunch of random children.
Juan Nelson
I don't understand, looks dope
Ian Lee
>not liking Loeb you're a tard
Jaxon Price
Fuck off Gappy
Adam Johnson
Yeah rrrright, today it's Saturday. Schools are closed.
>You do not have to have an opinion for each of their works. >You must admire an author unconditionally.
It's like Straczynski. There are a lot of good things he has written, but there is also Sin Past. Same for Loeb.
David King
Op, cut the bullshit.
The kids killed in front of him were elves he was escorting.
It is nothing like Penance. Penance felt he was responsible for deaths. Volstagg is going to kill those who are really responsible.
Ethan Richardson
>reading Marvel >especially anything Thor related You're part of the problem You're why we can't have nice things Stop reading Marvel. STOP. READING. MARVEL.
Eli Lewis
>God Butcher/God Bomb is among the greatest Thor comics ever made. Here 1-12.
It's just a boring rehash of an idea from Jurgens' Thor.
Zachary Wood
they did this to volstagg? man im glad i havent bought a modern comic in 10 years.
Jeremiah Green
It wasn't his kid, it was elf kids. Which we all know is wrong
Elf kids are for rough loving not killing
Brody Wood
The Lion of Asgard deserves it. Thorstagg will be like he was in his prime again!
Blake Gutierrez
WRONG But the Accursed was good
also, this is now a Thorstagg general
Adrian Scott
it's FAR better than him being the cause for that shitty event Siege that fucked over JMS so bad he quit Marvel
Chase Wilson
>tfw we'll never get a Thorstagg, Beta Ray Bill, Thor and Hyperion book
Feels bad man
Daniel Adams
Wait a minute by the time Siege happened JMS was already off Thor
Gillen was the one who wrote the Thor tie in issues for Siege.
Luis Adams
Jesus, I would kill for that.
Asher Perry
JMS wrote right up to Siege, maybe 1 or two books before. He refused to write it, they actually wanted him to write it but he just said "Fuck you, I want to tell my story not Bendis garbage." and left. He had a good run and brought Thor out of Ragnarok and, rightly so, thought it was an idiodic idea to destroy everything he built. Thor and Asgard was back for 2 years and Marvel thought it was a good idea to fuck it over and destroy it again. Marvel just shat all over everything he did, he was right to give them the finger
Angel Cox
While I agree that it is tired writing and not very good, it is definitely not penance levels of bad. For it to be penance bad, Volstagg would have to beat himself in the face with Ultimjolnir daily once for each child that he saw die that day and claim it's how he is fixing his karma. Then he'd have to get a cat and make it do the same thing and name it something along the lines of WarCat the Warmongering Puss.
Henry Walker
Nah it wasn't his family but he was going to adopt them since they had just lost their moms and dads.
Josiah Wood
>It's "this shitty writer who is know for being a shitty writer doesn't suck, the genre sucks and it's also holding back the indies!!!!!" episode
Why Sup Forums keeps having reruns?
Andrew Wright
Volstagg as Thor sounds like a neat idea for a What if? or something.
Julian Morales
Volstagg is not eating again. Quick we need a /cock/ board again
Grayson Martin
>this shitty writer who is know for being a shitty writer He's really not though outside of people being mad about Whor
