Can someone explain the context of this?

Is this Jane using the Odinforce? Is Odin weakened somehow or holding back? Is this PIS or an Outlier?

Outlier.

I think it's PIS but I could see a key for modern Odin, he doesn't seem to be as powerful

 

[PrinceOfTheMorning]

Straight up disrespect to Odin is what that was. I disliked it almost as much as this.

Jason Aaron has consistently been distorting Odin from a proud, wise, and noble powerful leader, into a weak and idiotic raving drunkard. He is apparently supposed to symbolise some kind of imaginary patriarchy, since everything in Marvel has to be political propaganda nowadays, not remotely relaxing entertainment.

As such, our statistics apply to classic Odin, not the current depowered version.

 

[Hellbeast1]

That said it may be wise to have a key for his modern self

 

[Antvasima]

Well, his current self is likely 4-B at best, but we haven't really seen any feats from either him or Thor of remotely even that scale recently, so we really have almost nothing to go by.

What year did the "Modern" Marvel iterations start and what event occured?

Was this when Earth-616 was destroyed and reborn?

 

[Antvasima]

It got worse after the Secret Wars event, but started to get extremely bad when Sana Amanat took over as the editor in charge of character development. I don't remember the year though. Before that Marvel started to get severely distorted from what it once was when Joe Quesada took over the company in the early 2000s or so.

I think the first political roots are when 9/11 happened and you had even Doctor Doom being at ground zero that day and lamenting what happened. It didn't get too bad until the the synergy and comic book event obsession went into overdrive by the 2010s, messing up lots of standalone stories, and Axel Alonso being editor in chief and not doing his job. At least Quesada did his job.
