General / Off-Topic Thor 4 will be a woman playing Thor, really not kidding!

Hollywood. LMAO
Someone made a survivor or reality show.
Then that's all they can think of.
Now it's super heroes.
Wish they still made great movies, great writing, great acting.

As i said, female Thor does not bother me much, but i'd really like them to make a Scarlet Witch movie.
I get it that she will appear in Dr Strange 2, but it's not quite the same.

How come SheHulk movie never materialized? The character would check all the Hollywood female trend checkboxes right, and to be honest nobody would oppose.

I'm not a fan of the feminising of male roles but this isn't that. In the Marvel universe Thor is anyone that can hold the hammer. That's just the crappy Marvel universe for you.

So the hammer is the important character?

So Hollywood is busy rewriting all characters from male to female, the next victim is Thor.

Speaking of, I think the best of the MCU (movie-wise) is behind us, at least for me. I really enjoyed early Iron Man (before he became magic man with nanotech), middle Thor (when he had a little bit of humor but wasn't a full-on clown), middle Captain America, all Black Widow (except the stupid short haircuts), pre-mohawk HawkEye, early Ruffalo Hulk, etc. My favorite MCU movie of all time remains the original Avengers, followed by CA Civil War. As I said earlier, End Game is the end chapter for me, with SMFFH being the epilogue. It's okay, I was starting to get comic book super hero fatigue anyway!

lol. Wonder Man as an Amazon would be confusing the the Marvel universe. I guess DC could consider it, but Wonder Woman is pretty popular

They did it long time ago anyways, its better to separate real myths from comic ones and look at them as completely separate universe.

 

[Factabulous]

It's actually pretty rare to have a film blindly try and recreate something, especially a book / myth as they don't fit the form. Even movie remakes don't tend to do much more than use a precursor as a jump-off point - look at the various incarnations of A Star Is Born - all the same story, all retold for a newer audience.

Some people just have more trouble with change than others

The forum has spoken.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I am Thor, and so is my wife.

 

[Chaparral]

Reminds me of a very bad and juvenile joke with the punchline being "I'm Thor." and the girl with the lisp responds "I'm really Thor." No I won't tell the whole joke.

That skinny chick? They should at least cast the part to someone who has a bit of brawn of her own.
