So did anybody read the latest issue of "The World To Come"? From my brief skim it seems like Thor's corpse was desecrated to channel its power to kill them all, and this is from the same writer who had Thor knocked out by a bullet previously.
I increasingly get the impression that a lot of the Marvel Comics writers hate Thor to the point of belittling, depowering, humiliating, distorting, and/or defiling the only major scandinavian superhero almost any chance that they get. Apparently Scandinavia is the root of all evil to them, despite its comparative lack of direct involvement in historical atrocities, and present-day rather high humanitarian values and systems, comparatively speaking.
Again, the German and Austrian Nazis completely bastardised lots of religious symbols and mythology from all over the world. Retroactively blaming the Vikings for getting some of their symbols extremely distorted doesn't seem to make any sense.
