Genderbends are whatever. Thor Girl, Thordis, and all of this has happened before in the psat. Now, they're making a big deal that this is "Thor." No it's not. Thor Odinson is still a male, and still exists. What does this even mean? Does she receive his powers? No. Thor is still going to be able to command storms, as he did in his youth, without Mjolnir. His strength is technically not a power. It's his physiology. So, if done right, she wouldn't do that either. So, what are they giving her? The powers of Mjolnir. She may have the powers of Thor, but that doesn't make her Thor. The Marvel writers, Jason Aaron included has been very "playing in both ends of the pool." They're saying this is "Thor." No, it's not Thor. It's a woman with his powers. To call her Thor is like naming her William, that weirdly named chick with the hammer. If Marvel, and Jason Aaron managed to do this right, but giving her a semi-feminine name, and inferring it wasn't Thor due to some convoluted level of horrid writing, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. But as it stands. From all angles it's stupid, and I cannot wait for the hammer to return to it's rightful owner, and have Odin make She-Thor her own hammer.
