>>146808517>hyde is popular fellowis he?I know this is just Ewing teasing another writer using the character but I'm not sure I can remember the last Mr Hyde was even used before this bookmaybe that Ralth Machichio Morbiues one-shot for when the film came out
>>146808432>Captain America's punching bag>strong guy who even Spidey can one punch>guy whose gimmick is touchingThe only real threat here is Radioactive Man. Thor's human villains are pathetic.
>>146808396bump
>>146808407Ewing your woke fag, give me a Thor, Sif and Amora 3some.
>>146808427>Amora is suprised Magni can hold MjolnirWeird, you'd think she would expect that.
>>146808503>>146808507>>146808513Seems like a lot of effort just to tarnish Thor and the enchantress' image, obviously Dario wasnt counting on these losers actually doing anything to Thor.
>>146808877Ewing will rather die than write a white man having sex with two beautiful women
>>146808390So how is this run compared to Immortal Hulk? I liked Ewing's writing there, is this one along the same lines?
>>146809294It really struggles from Coccolo's departure, but otherwise it's alrightAlthough I really ought to read through it again, I'm already forgetting some details
>>146809238But Ewing hates Paul, he can based sometimes.
>>146809120Thor is saying that he didn't decide Magni is worthy, and since he is the All Father, that means he's setting the rulesSo Magni is lifting the Hammer and throwing it around with pure strengthWhich shouldn't be possible
>>146808407The art has really gone to shit.
>>146808503I love this evil cunt.
>>146808396I really hope Ewing doesn't get full page rate for these reddit sourced quotes.
>>146808402Looks like Atlas.
>>146808407The Lion faces on his epaulets make him look like Thor's kid with Hercules

>>146808402Jesus! Marvel hires inkers, the pencil is not bad but it looks horrible with these generic inks, Marvel with Kevin Feige in charge is this, he doesn't know the importance that each professional brings
>>146808438Based.
>>146808427man, the earthbound villains finally got some licks in with Thor and are now gonna be jumped by him and his son
>>146808438man, has Radioactive man always been this cool? I'm tempted to read his past stuff now if got any recs
>>146808453Hyde's dialogue is a lot of fun
>>146808503It's funny how Agger winning in Ewing is great while in Aaron it didn't really feel earned.
>>146812494that's just due to Aaron being a hack he can't even make Conan sound right
>>146808402hurr son of durr
>>146811860Why do you type like a retard
>>146808507>>146808513I'll give it this: the unremarkable room in the unremarkable building line is good shit.
>>146808438Based Radioactive Man
>>146809294Immortal Hulk: strong in the first half, weaker but still good in the second, decent art all the way throughImmortal Thor: art is great for the first 8 issues then turns to raw dogshit, the story is good when its focused on the Elder Gods plot but the Roxxon shit drags hard, we've seen Aaron tackle Roxxon extensively and Ewing also used them in Immortal Hulk
>>146809996Everyone except Nick Lowe hates Paul so I can't really give him any points for that>>146810052I think Thor left it up to chance to see if Magni is worthy
>>146808438I do prefer it when Radioactive Man is actually trying to be a hero, especially as a Chinese hero working for China so that he can still come into conflict with American heroes if need be, but since it's clear that Marvel insists on keeping him a villain this is at least an interesting depiction.
>>146808503>I'm totally not Dario Agger, I'm his previously never before seen son Dario Agger Jr.Wait a minute, this is the exact same thing Lex Luthor did back in the 90s.
Hark ! This doth be mine final post upon /co/.How canst anyone thinketh that this doth be awe-some for true ? How canst anyone taketh seriously a comical manuscript with Thor as a supposedeth to be superhero ? How canst anyone seeth the Thor as heroic for true in this book ?"Ouh, Thor doth be smiling, so awe-some, this be so cooleth guys..." why dost thou lie to thyself in such a manner ?Thou guys art simply forcing onto thyself the new fadeth there shalt be within this hivemind of a board, with the blandesteth, tamesteth, most classicly safe comical manuscript there canst be, while thine selective outrage doth be shitting upon Cates' Hulk for things that would be praised if they were scribed by another's quill, but NAAAAAAAAAAAAY thou hast to shitteth uponst it even if it be good because the hivemind doth dictate thou to do thusly !!!Tis no wonder thou canst get laideth, but guesseth what ? Lo, I obtainst a shieldmaiden now. For the first time of mine life after one score and four years I finally obtainst a shieldmaiden, and all that monkish fuss hath become quite irritating since.I am simply departing for goodeth anon, I hadst plenty of fun with that board but I doth proclaim I be done. I pray thou to get shieldmaidens to, maybe it will openeth thine eyes about the hivemind that is destructing thy self, alas, the hivemind is mayhaps keeping thou awayest from being able to seduceth anyone, so thou art most like entrapped within one vicious circle, and sadly, there beith no WildC.A.T.s to savest thou from't. I simply hopeth that mine epistle shalt maybe aid thou to think by thyself a mite more and to obtainst a shieldmaiden to.Enjoyeth thine manuscript.
>>146812826As an adult only now do I realize Dohan was really good at hiding his missing finger.
>>146808507The villains shined in this story
>>146808503>Agger is going to fake being his own son to nepobaby his way back to becoming CEO of RoxxonHoly kek
>>146808438wtf I love Thor's villains now
>>146810052>>146812919>I think Thor left it up to chance to see if Magni is worthyIt's the magical rules lawyering that Ewing loves so much. Word play to solve logic puzzlesIf you aren't worthy of Mjolnir it becomes heavy enough that you can't lift itBut Magni is God of Strength, so he always becomes strong enough as he needs to beIt's the "Can God make a rock so heavy that even he can't lift it" paradoxThat's why Magni is saying that Mjolnir feels heavier than usual
>>146813154aye I love when Marvel writers actually respect and want to earnestly use these villains plus give them great moments to let their personality shine.
>>146812494It's almost as if Aaron's a shitty writer
>>146812903>good when its focused on the Elder Gods plot but the Roxxon shit drags hard,Anon, it's completely the other way around. Nobody gives a fuck about Toranos or whoever, while they all love Agger™ and the corporate villainy shenanigans. The mystical stuff is the boring part of this Thor run, for once.
>>146809294Significantly weaker while also being the best Thor series in a looooooooooooong while, low bar to cross though
>>146813201yeah, you'd think the turning characters into mouthpieces or flagrant character mishandling and Mephisto being shoved down throats would make him not have so much work
>>146813219Honestly I agree, I'm all for Agger and his hit squad of Thor's earth villans but mostly breeze the Utgard stuff. It reminds me of when Ironman Armored Adventures would have his rogues gallery often flock and interact with Justin Hammer or Obidiah Stane which was a lot of fun in the show.
>>146813219>>146813292I'm interested in the trials that Skald Loki has been putting Thor throughBecause he keeps getting cool new gearAnd there's just one of trial to goIt goes:Agger > Skald Trials > Untgard
>>146808478>>146808491So Radioactive Man gave up the idea of fighting the second he saw Thor brought a squad with him? He really is a professional.
>>146808497Aw, I hoped she'd fight Iron Man
>>146813460That reminds me, what was Loki like in Magni's timeline? Was he that Thor's scheming vizier to show Thor's corruption, or was he dead to show Thor's ruthlessness?
>>146812964I think it's a fun way to reconcile his various depictionsSometimes he's honorable and trying to be a hero, patriotic and serving China as part of the People's Defense Force.Other times he gets used as a generic supervillain who does dumb shit because writers need recognizable mooksExplaining the latter away by being a kind of role he plays as a kind of government game of spies and assets, so that he can go back to doing the former. It's pretty elegantIt even explains the Collective Man having to do some similar shit
>>146808507What were they even arrested for? They were just standing on a rooftop until wanted criminal Thor beat them up with the posse he gathered.I guess logically they're all either fugitives from being broken out of prison or in violation of their parole, but other writers have treated villains going straight so casually I figured that capes get to operate on GTA rules.
>>146812423Only time Radioactive Man has been written beyond being a one dimensional villain was during the post Avengers Disassembled through Secret Invasion Thunderbolts run. There it was established that Radioactive Man's power makes him bipolar and thuggish and he had a great deal of guilt over his powers killing innocent people, hence him joining the Thunderbolts having regained as at the tine, he had regained his sanity. He had a cute running friendship with Songbird and was her only ally during the dark days of the Ellisbolts, until Osborn fired him from the team post Secret Invasion, sending him back to China.
>>146812423I think he was most like this after Thunderbolts: Faith in Monsters by Warren Ellis.
>>146808402>>146808407The narrator talking about Magni's tale having ended makes me pretty sure he's not going to last past this run. Ewing might be making a point about leaving bad futures and what ifs out of mainstream continuity, but I can't recall if it would be hypocritical if him to do so.
>>146815273It depends, he's had characters that come from the future that travel back to the present day, like Golden Skull, the tiding-fly from the ninth cosmos and Zayn AsgharAlthough they're all created by him, I can't think of any pre-existing characters that he used like Magni
>>146815395He used Dani Cage Captain America but usually sent her back to her own time and Avengers of 20XXThere's a lot of time travel and branching timelines nonsense in his Venom, what with there being like 5 or 6 different future Eddies He has Galactus's mom Taaia stuck living in present day with Blue Marvel. But she's not from an alternate future but a way distant past and previous multiverse
>>146815273I think Ewing is commentating on the idea of continuing a character's story when the character has already reached as close to a definite ending as you possibly canIt's why the previous issue opened up with an homage of JMS first issue of ThorIn that issue Thor had already reached a rather definite ending with Ragnarok happening and everyone in the realms dying except Midgard but of course this being comics he has to return
>>146814458>It even explains the Collective Man having to do some similar shitMy personal headcanon for why he was so out of character in that X-Men run where he was attempting to become a crime boss was due to some off-panel shenanigans his team had to clean upBasically an extension for why he's so fucking pissed at American heroes next time he showed up for people thinking New York is the center of the world and not recognizing something was up
>>146810052>>146813158Hulk BTFO.
>>146808418
>>146815690So he'd been morally inverted or brainwashed into being evil, and after recovering he's still bitter that the Americans just thought he was bad without questioning it? Yeah that's worth a no prize in my book
>>146813158Never really liked that paradox. Of course God could do so, but he could also then make himself able to lift it. It is, however, weird that you just go>Yeah he's the God of Strength so, he'll just match whatever strength he needs to do somethingThis is setting up for him to fight Hulk again, isn't it? Or Juggernaut or something retarded where he shouldn't be able to stop it but he can because GOD OF STRENGTH LOL.
>>146815719>>146808418christ the eyes are so fucking bad. he looks blind or retarded. like thsi isn't even a 'it'll take an hour to fix it' type issue, this is literally 5 mins work.
>>146808453>>146808461>>146808466>>146808474>>146808478>>146808491I am so fucking sick of post Authority/Planetary comic writing where villains aren't even jobbers they are flat out jokes. Also is there ANY difference now between Enchantress and Emma Frost?
>>146811563Another Tales of Asgard huh? I forget, what was the last terrible thing to happen there?
>>146816258Enchantress has the advantage of not being a smug mutie bitch that everyone sucks off and actually faces consequences at times.
>>146814325he was standard evil loki
>>146816258Amora has always been incredibly powerful, barely below Loki
>>146817917Which is why Strange thinking he can swoop in and become Sorcerer Supreme is so offensive. If that even was a title, Loki or Amora would have it. Or maybe Odin but his overwhelming power didn't seem to translate to spells usually.
>>146817724I looked it up and you weren't kidding. It seems like most of the bad stuff there was all Loki's fault and Thor's biggest failing was trusting him....That feels kind of lame, is it actually not bad if you read it?
>>146818046it's fine read on it's own
>>146818030Come to think of it I think Karnilla is above Amora and maybe in some capacity Loki>Strange thinking he can swoop in and become Sorcerer Supreme is so offensiveClearly Marvel doesn't know what to do with him so they are just throwing shit to the wall to see what sticks. He had that academy that one time, now he's depowered, now this etc
>>146815774>Of course God could do so, but he could also then make himself able to lift it. That... makes no fucking sense, dude.
>>146816258Nigga they ARE jokes to current Thor yet they still beat his ass a few issues ago thanks to a decent ambush. It's like you don't understand who super hero comics work
>>146808390NeatThanks for the storytime
>>146815719Really bad art.
>>146813254>while also being the best Thor series in a looooooooooooong whileWILL SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKING EXPLAIN WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE LAST RUN???(besides making Thor & Bill hostile)Also what was egregious about the Aaron volume that gave Thor the golden arm?
>>146819707arcs were overall too long for the stories they were telling, Cates always had an issue in regards to pacing, and the villains were pretty forgettable as well Cates destroying Broxton for drama I guess but it was pointless and forgotten in the issue he did it in, so much JMS thought he had to spend the last three issues of his Captain America run fixing it,Art was overall much better but Ewing seem cursed in that regardbut Cates could have been a lot worse
>>146810052Thor didn't decide magni was worthyMagni was worthy of the hammer without thor deciding itHe didn't need any strength at all hence why he said he imagined it heavierMaybe he could've lifted it anyways but he didn't need to
>>146816258Where's the Enchantress waifu fag to explain?
>>146808402>both parents are blonde>brunetteI get that they don't want readers mistaking him for Thor, but still
>>146819926Learn to read, Thor explains >>146808427And Magni says it feels heavier, not that he thought it would be heavier >>146808418He's wielded mjolnir in his own timeline, he knows how it feels
>>146821783>>146821036>>146820337
>>146816258Anora has real tits.
>>146823067jej
Thors helmet seems really uncomftorable to wear.
>>146818046Magni's Loki wasn't purely evil tho'.He was HONESTLY working for Thor and Asgard, but he did it the most Loki possible way.
>>146815273i'm expecting Magni to go back to his timeline, now restored, by the end of the book.it would fit "sons are better after their fathers" quote
>>146815722more like he FAKED being dumb evil, and got really pissed nobody ever thought something was not adding up
>>146808390What happened to this series?
>>146808390Is it just me or does Radioactive Man look like the actor who plays MCU Wong?
>>146823067It's true!
>>146823402>more like he FAKED being dumb evil,Didn't he had some shmuck be decapited during a conference with the other crime bosses?
>>146824484It's written by Ewing.
>>146826763Who is generally incredible so that doesn't answer the fucking question.
>>146826776>Who is generally incrediblelol no
>>146825360Benedict Wong, to be fair he's a big bald Chinese guy also suppose
