His new host is only surrounded by African-American people, so it seems to be heavily inferred, but I might be mistaken.
However, it really might save the character from so often being handled with extreme antagonism and character distortion by many Marvel Comics writers, so I see it as a welcome change. They might hopefully leave him alone and let him shine in virtue again now.
And if what is supposed to be Marvel's most iconic "big gun" superhero can help to positively inspire lots of socially and financially oppressed brown kids, along with people in general, that is obviously also great.
He might help to serve as a bridge of understanding that there is only one race, the human race, as Rosa Parks herself said.

Oh, and I'm also hoping, if it's progressive, that we'll get more representation/confirmation of Loki's genderfluid status.
I know it's been implied, or confirmed in the background before, but I would love to see it actually displayed properly in the foreground too.

What are you talking about? The modern version of Loki has long been openly genderfluid. It is a (more interesting but) entirely different character than classic Loki, who was cisgendered straight, and a bit of a horndog in that regard, given that he lusted after Lorelei and Storm, though.

Donny Cates seemed to try to return Loki to being cisgendered straight though, and also had Loki subject Donald Blake to extreme amounts of torture. Cates' run didn't really make any sense in terms of storytelling or characterisation for either Thor or other characters.

Yeah, but only on a technical level I've felt, that is we haven't really seen a lot of actual frequent changing of gender in terms of pronouns and presentation.What are you talking about?

Hmm. I have seen a lot of that over the years, even if there has been less of it in Thor's own comicbook.
By the way, if Thor is reborn into another universe that more closely resembles our "real" world, has Enchantress succeeded in her plans to usurp the Odinforce in the main Marvel Universe in the meantime?

I always thought that Donald Blake's fate was extreme bullshit. Dude went insane because of what Odin had done and yet he's given a fate worse than death. Not to mention that the retcon of Blake as a whole was so damn stupid.
- 177,575
- 90,552
Agreed. It was completely out of character for Blake to turn insane and murderous in the first place, and then he was systematically tortured by Loki afterwards. I am sorry for the horrible things that happened to Donny Cates in his private life right afterwards, but I do not appreciate his complete bastardisations of characterisations, rational narrative storytelling, and generally extremely callous and power-obsessed writing style at all.

By the way, this new comic book series also seems interesting. Christopher Priest's old Black Panther run was largely very good in my view, even if he also let Thor, who has endured energy blasts from multiple Celestials at the same time, almost be killed by a regular bullet to the head.

Oh damn, The-Powers-That-Be shows up in the new Scarlet Witch and Vision book. Guess it's more than just those dumb redesigns that other writers are still salvaging from GODS after it was cut short. I never really read GODS so I don't know if this is confirmation or just a reaffirmation of their power but Wanda says that they're above the Vishanti, the Goddess Witchcraft, and Chthon.

Someone can add this to Moon Knight's page. From the recent Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu comic. He's got resistance to soul manipulation via Khonshu. He got stabbed by a magic sword that steals the souls of those it kills and Khonshu showed up to stop it.

Already on my list to add in the future.

In hindsight, it was fairly obvious, being comparable to other multiversal abstracts and all.
Also, is it just me, or Khonshu becomes stronger and higher in hierarchy each time he appears? Cause it sure feels this way.
Tomfer
He/Him- 1,917

Yeah, he does. He's already been stated to be above the "normal pantheon gods" with Knull saying he's an Elder God.

Normal being like Olympians and Norse ones? Is he like... Those Who Sit Above in Shadows?
- 177,575
- 90,552
Yes.
Well, Joe Kelly had Khonshu humiliate himself against Cyttorak, so I am no so certain.

I am not so sure that they are Elder gods yet, but Al Ewing may eventually reveal them to be manifestations of Utgard-Loki for all that we know.

Those are Beyonders
Like Gaea or the other gods who appear in Immortal Thor

Was it ever confirmed? I never liked the idea, as Beyonders never acted as TWSAIS.

Idk, but they say the same things
TWSAIS are probably mad beyonders, like the og one

Also, can anyone help me with, perhaps, easiest revision in history? Involves Marvel Zombies (not really).
Tomfer

I don't know anything about those guys, so I can't answer that.
To be fair, they were in Cyttorak's realm, and gods are at their strongest inside their own realms. If they were in Khonshu's realm, the roles could be reversed.Well, Joe Kelly had Khonshu humiliate himself against Cyttorak, so I am no so certain.

Some more information about Thor's new status quo:

THOR relaunched title announced teasing major status quo shift
Marvel has announced details for a new Thor relaunched book teasing a major status quo shift for the god of thunder.

So does that mean we might see Thor in his Donald Blake persona like in the 1960's? Because the way that teaser announcement is worded, I think what's going to happen is Thor waking up in his Donald Blake persona and the story goes from there.

I think that he might have ended up in something much more closely resembling our real world, where he might experience both our own world's social problems from an oppressed underdog perspective, as well as what he is normally threatened by in a metafictional sense, both from what he symbolises to bigoted far-right fans and from authors who have distorted his characterisation beyond recognition over the years, as well as Ewing's in my view severe overestimation of the negative effects our own powerscaling wiki's and community's focus on the power level of the character has on him and the world in general. But Ewing is entitled to having his opinion, even if I personally think that the last one is partially misguided and/or misinformed.

Wanda summoning the true form of the Powers That Be and threatening her was not on my 2025 bingo card. Yeah um Marvel is making it really clear she’s intended to be a top-tier character right now

From what I can tell, it seems like a metaphor for the structure of the Marvel Multiverse from a mathematical perspective. If I had to guess, it might also be a reference to the new Abstract Entity The-Natural-Order-of-Things.

Anybody here use Marvel Unlimited? I've been curious about some of the exclusive comics on their (funnily enough, they're both Avengers books), but I'm not sure if I should get a subscription just for those two, and I'm not the most knowledgable on how exactly it all works...

I read them for free. It takes longer and some don't even get there but Avengers academy and Avengers United and some others.

Avengers Academy WAS one of the ones I was curious about, actually...

I think it's mostly ok but I'm sure most people think it's woke s#it because there is a lot of LGBT characters.
My real complain is that there is almost no classes, the entire book is basically them acting as heroes despite not being supposed to because they are still learning.
