Er, no. German for fox is "Fuchs" and I can't for the life of me find any indication anyone ever used a 'ck' in there or any indication that any early form of the language ever used an 'i' sound at the end. On the other hand, the last name "Fick" is actually around and means precisely fuck...

I'd like to see the time travel plot that gets them both into the same country and millennium. Since Moses and the flood myth probably have been an import from mesopotamia (where it makes much more sense in the light of their religion) and the flood has happened quite some time before Jesus was...

Careful reading of my post might reveal t you that I did not actually accept that position as my own. I was merely reflecting on the reasoning of people. But naturally you are absolutely correct in that turning strange people into 'Thor' is not actually a new development. Also I want to say it...

You know, Thor is sh*tting all over Viking mythology, the series. Has always been. Also one of the most important legends of their mythology features Thor in a pretty wedding dress. Sure. Mary Mag knives Peter in his sleep and takes command of the disciples, building a church on Peter's...

I don't think sexism is a big part of the outcry. It's more about the strange wording and impossibility of being Thor if you are not Odin's son. It reeks of retcon and pseudofeminist cashgrab to many. So I think in the current climate this just looks too much like jumping on the bandwagon and...

Sif is a bit too obvious to remain unrecognized, I think. Looking over the mythological female characters close to Thor, Thrud (means 'strength') would be the natural inheritor of his power. In the mythology she is the daughter of Thor and Sif. Also the name would be pretty fitting, wouldn't...

Well, not Thor as we know him. But as I pointed out above, she could be Thor for the purposes of the comic if Thor-as-we-know-him renounces his name and godhood/essence/thingamajigthatmakesoneanasgardian along with the hammer. This makes the successor effectively Thor but not the same character...

Okay, here's how to transcarnate Thor-dom. Firstly the writers watch Vikings and get a fanboner. Then Thor does a whole lot of shit, as mentioned earlier in the thread. He is called out on his bullshit (maybe he can't lift mjolnir anymore) and gets so embarrassed with himself he renounces his...

The actually impressive part of the morph ball is not fitting into it but spinning fast while not suffering from any side effects like nausea, disorientation or bruising. And immunity to her own bombs is cool, too. Also I have a hard time believing the suit with its broad shoulders and stiff...
