Marvels Feminist Thor Flop

[AlbertParticipant 646]

Judging by recent sales figures it would appear that Marvel Comics stupid PR stunt to give the Norse god Thor a feminist inspired sex change has been a flop with readers and I hope the sales continue to plummet.

Thor Sales Figures:

Oct 2014: 150,862

Nov 2014: 89,131

Dec 2014: 72,563

Jan 2015: 69,497

The jerk offs at Marvel are learning that radical feminists do not buy comic books! No doubt those same feminazis who haven’t bought the comics will blame ‘misogyny’ and ‘the patriarchy’ when Marvel finally wake up and are forced to axe this great steaming pile of s~~~.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

It feels good to not give a s~~~ and watch the world explode. Like sitting back and enjoying a glass of scotch while watching two people you hate beat the s~~~ out of each other.

I really want to see is how long Marvel is going to ride this before they eat crow and revert the comic, then what excuses they’ll try to offer up to the fem-collective as an apology. The readership has spoken, but it’s very sad that a company seems to have no clue what their PAYING customer base wants. Either they knew this would happen and did it anyway, or they had no clue – I’d be worried s~~~less about the management at that company if I were them.

The management is Disney. They sacrificed the comic line of Thor because it isn’t as profitable as the movie franchise and most of the viewers of Thor on the big screen are women.

I was a fan of the marvel movies but after they announced this I boycotted all Marvel properties. F~~~ them.

Antares, a smart man is one that can appreciate a nice scotch.

<sarcasm>Gee, I can’t believe fem-Thor didn’t take off</sarcasm>

I don’t know? I think I could save her! They should let me write at Marvel Comics, If I were a comic figure, I’d probably bang her! Now that would make for some interesting reading; wouldn’t it?

Disney… figures. That still doesn’t make sense to me though. Do women (not lesbian feminists) want Thor to be a woman? Or would they rather see a super hot muscular guy with no shirt? Even then, they could have just made the movie version a woman.

That’s what a company SHOULD be worried about. Their core fanbase turning their back on them. When I love a franchise, I buy collectors edition blueray and all sorts of extra crap because I love everything about it. When they p~~~ on a fanbase like this I fully expect results like you said, you stop buying all their stuff period. It sadly makes sense with the Disney overlord. Sacrifice a franchise for pollitically correct bonus points. They don’t care if they lose money, they have more than they know what to do with.

Future MGTOW Introduction:

Hey everyone. I’m Thor. You might know me as the son of Odin. I was bad ass like a motherf~~~er. I shot lightning and all that s~~~. Well this went on for a few thousand years and it was good. Then feminism comes along and they turn me into a woman. I s~~~ you not, they turned me into a woman. Comic sales detailing my exploits went to crap, and here I am the laughing stock of the Marvel Universe. I could take all those insults from Loki, but now he just looks at my chest and smirks. It drove me crazy.

So I said f~~~ that and went MGTOW.

So in the Thor the Thunderina comics was he a woman all along, or did he get a sex change so he could wear some fabulous heels to match his hammer?

I don’t know who’s asinine idea it was but you simply cannot change the gender of a superhero like Thor because it changes the entirety of his identity. He’s the successor to Odin, and therefore cannot be a woman. He and Loki were rivaling brothers growing up and the rivalry wouldn’t have the same dynamic if Thor were female. There are so many things wrong with it.

I’m by no means a comic book fanboy but I do enjoy when a movie about a hero I know remains trueish to the original story.

[TheBardParticipant 974]

The male Thor is still around, he just doesn’t have his powers as he is no longer worthy to wield the hammer but that woman is. I stopped reading after issue 3 so I don’t know if we know who she is yet. I found the first 3 issues interesting at least, but stopped buying because I needed to cut down my comic budget until the 3 DC weekly series and I prefer DC over Marvel so I cancelled the rest of my Marvel books. The idea of having a female Thor could work, but the problem is how it was handled. Jason Arron said he had this planned since 2012, but I don’t know how truthful that is. When Bucky became Captain America and Dick became Batman when those respected heroes died people liked it because it was built up and the other thing was the heroes former sidekicks, who we had all known, were the ones to take over. Sadly I feel like Marvel won’t get the idea though since social justice warriors love Marvel and I think Marvel releases that.

Glad I never really cared all that much for Marvel and DC comic franchises.

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.

A female THOR.

That’s rich.

Yeah, her feet are THOR from maxing out her credit cards and shopping all day.

The male THOR saves the planet… the female THOR saves 50% on shoes.

So tired of watching feminists falsely programming women with the idea that they just CAN NOT be content unless they enjoy the same things men do.

What’s next, a male Wonder Woman? He’s “gender neutral”, and the feminist would probably name him Wonder Rapist.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Just imagine how cool it’d be in an alternate reality where Sweden wasn’t a feminist hell-hole and the Norse religion was still practiced there. 😀

And while we’re here, I may as well mention tht I gave up on Agent Carter. Lead character is a female, lead villain is a female, school of female assassins, every guy is a jerk, Stark is condemned for being a womanizer every 30 seconds… the only interesting character is Jarvis and they aren’t doing anything interesting with him yet.

I’m tired of SFL programming (Strong Female Lead) because it just rings fake. At least Agent May just kicked ass and drove the bus, we didn’t have to give a s~~~ about her struggles against a male dominated world.

Female Viking God.  No comment.  Really.  None.

Swallow this RED PILL ===> Men will lay down their lives for their brothers, their women and their children. This makes Men useful as slaves. Women will lay down their lives for ONLY their children. To expect more from women is just a FANTASY created by society and reinforced by the unconditional love that we experienced from our Mothers. The key to freedom is the understanding that the woman you meet is not going to fantastically love you like your Mother did. If you buy into the fantasy, then she is your new master. If you do not buy into the fantasy, then she is nothing, and you retain your freedom.

+1 for the signature.

While we’re at it, I wasn’t all that fond of Dame Juni Dench playing M in the James Bond movies.  The reason a woman was put into that role was because–you guessed it–it corresponded to what happened in real life.  Dame Stella Rimington became the first female Director General of MI-5 shortly before Goldeneye was made.

 

[OsirisParticipant 39]

If Marvel really wanted to push an Asgardian female to the forefront, they could have tried their luck on Sif. But, instead, they wanted to play into the typical female power fantasy.

Odin strips Thor of his power.

Gives said power to random female.

Female underutilizes said power and squanders it.
Sounds like a divorce story to me…

I’m not surprised it failed. Some women like comic books, but the majority of the purchasing demographic is indeed male. The numbers don’t lie.

Now, pass that whiskey.

[OsirisParticipant 39]

What do you expect from people like Joss Manginus Maximus Whedon?
