Because later in that issue, Thor is swallowed by that serpent and then bashes his way out through his TEETH.Dr. Medulla wrote:Of all Marvel's major characters, Thor is one I never got whatsoever. Please explain his appeal.
That ain't helping. I suspect my a-Thorist position is related to my dislike fantasy as a genre. I'd rather read about Spider-man caught in the middle of a Hammerhead-Dr. Octopus feud, while some Osborn slowly begins to turn into the Green Goblin.Wolter wrote:Because later in that issue, Thor is swallowed by that serpent and then bashes his way out through his TEETH.Dr. Medulla wrote:Of all Marvel's major characters, Thor is one I never got whatsoever.

Also, he was briefly turned into a frog. A FROG THAT KICKED ASS.
Chris Sims at the ISB loves it, but I've never actually read it.Flex wrote:In other news, is this a good comic?
I read the synopsis of the series on Amazon and it sounds pretty good. Any readers here?
That's also a great time for me, but I also like big dudes hitting other big dudes with hammers while speaking in fakey highbrow language. Especially if either Jack Kirby or Walt Simonson is drawing it.Dr. Medulla wrote:That ain't helping. I suspect my a-Thorist position is related to my dislike fantasy as a genre.

That's something that pulls me out of the experience. For the same reason that the Silver Surfer never appealed to me. Kind of like what Harrison Ford told Lucas: "You can write this shit, George, but you can't say it."Wolter wrote: speaking in fakey highbrow language.
I have a "Comic Books get a pass" filter on my fakey dialogue detectors.Dr. Medulla wrote:That's something that pulls me out of the experience.

What do you have against Vikings anyway? Way to be insensitive to other cultures, dick.
Oh, and I just totally forgot. Also in that issue, at the end, he hits the Midgard serpent so hard he breaks every bone in HIS OWN body.Wolter wrote:Because later in that issue, Thor is swallowed by that serpent and then bashes his way out through his TEETH.Dr. Medulla wrote:Of all Marvel's major characters, Thor is one I never got whatsoever.
