Thor's age

[Sir_sun_man]

hey this is a quick one

We now have the actual time and age that thor was born in which is 1,000,000 BC which makes him a little over 1 million years old in current comics

 

[Marvel_Champion_07]

Seems simple enough. I agree

 

[The_one_you_least_expect]

Agreed

 

[Suigetsuhyugs]

That was a Jason Aaron thing right? I read it I sincerely thought that this would be ignored because of Jason Aaron's Thor retcon fetish.
It's fine by me but I heard that his age was very inconsistent.

I mean at this point what is consistent in marvel?

as for Aaron yeah but the best part is that cates did kind **** block him by making sure that Gaea is thors mom, so Aaron couldn't make phoenix thors mom so he made her his spirit mother or some such nonsense in the 1,000,000 BC run

This seems uncontroversial to add, yes.

Yup, Cates did a great thing there, and I helped him out by making sure that it showed up on Wikipedia, so Aaron would have a harder time justifying the change.

Gaea is Thor's mom. That is a much more important part of his mythos, as it thematically ties him as the protector of the Earth and its creatures, and gives him more mythology to build on, as Al Ewing is doing currently.

What happened to Cates is really sad. First his wife left him and then he had a car accident that damaged his brain. That is the reason why other writers finished his Thor and Hulk runs.

Oh dear, I hope he gets better soon

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, me as well. According to his recent Bleeding Cool interview, he was in a coma for 6 months, but he is a big fighter and keeps trying hard. He seems like a really great and impressive guy.

Oh shit, that explains the quality drop in the runs mid point. Hope he gets well soon since his stuff was pretty top tier in writing and world building

 

[Sir_sun_man]

well anyhow this seems to be a simple matter to apply the age

and we all seem to be in agreement
so should one of us put the over a million years old on thors prof?

 

[Antvasima]

Yes, that is fine.

 

[Marvel_Champion_07]

Applied the changes. This can be closed now

 

[Antvasima]

Maverick handled it.

Thank you to everybody who helped out here then.
