perhaps my country or perhaps at the core of the loving sun

Those Scotch girls, apparently.

school is generally very slanted towards girls

This, and yet they still don't do as well.
Just sad.

that's totally what that is though

So because a new character isn't white and male, it's a gimmick to get an already massive fanbase even larger? Comic books change characters literally all the time throughout the generations. God forbid the Falcon, a verified Captain America fanboy, take up the shield after Steve Rogers.

It's like you don't even know what the word diversity means, lol.

Swapping out the entire main cast of an already established classic after two sequels is a gimmick.
Basically making too many sequels or spinoffs of anything is gimmicky.

The hunger games had a female protagonist and plenty of female characters, but it wasn't a gimmick, because it was its own franchise/IP.
But Ghostbusters already exists, you can't just remake it and forget about everything that happened the last three movies.

the 'new thor' is just some woman. who the hell is she? a norse god? which one? and what kind of explanation is "thor just can't hold the hammer anymore and steve is now old because he has rapid aging"

if you really think that was for anything but to get more potential buyers interested than i dont know what to say man. why do you think family guy killed brian off briefly? obviously wasnt to get people watching again ANYTHING but that.

I'm convinced you know nothing about Marvel.

There was an alien that was fully capable of lifting and utilizing Mjolnir named Big Ray Bill. The Hulk can lift it also (albeit wiht brute strength). Mjolnir goes to whoever is worthy.

there's a logical backstory as to why thor is now a woman (i think it's his daughter?)

I don't think that's the case.

There are restrictions for who can hold Mjolnir but other people are perfectly capable.

Also I meant Beta Ray Bill not "Big Ray Bill"

im not questioning that she can hold it, wonder woman could hold it for gods sake, im saying why did thor just stop being worthy? it is literally his weapon. he is the norse god of thunder and he just stopped being worthy? ok

He was deemed unworthy on other occasions?
Even in the new Thor movie before last he couldn't wield it.

and what makes this mysterious woman any better? do we know? all we know is she's taking his spot and that the internet exploded about it for a couple of days, which is exactly what marvel wanted.

how about you read the loving comic when it drops and find out yourself

you're just reaching for stuff to complain about at this point. your assumptions are completely baseless

do you honestly believe that marvel didnt do this to bring attention to their comics? is that such a ridiculous idea that you cant even consider it?

[Harm94]

After seeing the new black and gay spiderman and the new lady thor, I definitely have a feeling they are trying to appeal to the SJW crowd.

Holy stuff.
A black/female superhero taking on the torch would catch attention regardless of the intention.
What do you suggest? Marvel not letting superhero successors be minorities or women? Because that's the only solution that is viable with your logic.

Can we have a color blind Asian male rogue and a crippled lady wolverine?
