Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread
- Thread starter bbjeg
- Start date
Thor was originally like Captain Marvel. He inhabited Don Blake's body when Blake summoned the power of Thor. Thor was a different entity but each individual retained memories of the other. I was never an avid reader, so I am not sure about the details like what Thor was doing when he wasn't summoned by Blake or even when Asgard was introduced as an actual place. For that matter, I don't know if Blake ever visited Asgard while he was not channelling Thor. Did the two every meet as separate individuals?
EDIT: Just answered my own questions with a quick Wikipedia search. Donald Blake WAS Thor after he was banished to Earth by Odin to learn humility.

As a retcon six years into the series. It's discussed here: http://sequart.org/magazine/30757/who-is-don-blake/
They shoulda had Donald Blake be the guy Thor was living with in Australia instead of Darryl.
Did they ever come up with a (for lack of a better term) codename for Jane? I mean besides meta appellation 'Lady Thor'? (Which I tend to view as analogous to "Spider-Gwen", who is actually Spider-Woman in-universe, but known to the readers--and only to the reader--as the former, for simple ease of reference.)
Just seems odd considering that Thor Odinson is his actual name, not a title. Plus if I recall the wording of Odin's incantation correctly it's; "Whosoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” not "...shall be Thor"
I guess they could repurpose "Thunderstrike" for her? I mean it's better than "Beta Ray Jane" or "Throj".
(Disclaimer; this is simply a comment on semantics, I have no problem with the character of "Jane Foster + meyu-meyu = Lighting Xena" as a concept.)

Probably not as many as you might think. In the big crowd scenes only those up front near the camera are likely to be wearing full prosthetics. Background players generally only have pull down silicone rubber masks, and large crowds (anything over a dozen or three) are mostly going to be of the digital persuasion. That's just for the Orks. Most of the elves in the battle scenes that weren't CG probably didn't even have prosthetic ears on, thanks to a cunning use of helmets and wigs.

She wasn't as first. When Thor accepted that he was unworthy of bearing Mew-Mew anymore he gave the name to her and just called himself Odinson.
Her codename is Valkyrie now. She and Runa (based on Tessa Thompson's character from Thor Ragnarok) were in the series The Mighty Valkyries last year. Not sure what they're up to right this second.
Alaqua Cox hints that the beginning of production on Echo is imminent. It would seem that the Marvel secrecy engine is at as full force as ever, as next to nothing about this series has actually been confirmed.

I've fallen a little behind on Moon Knight. I need to watch two episodes today to catch up.
Stop posting here and get to it already!
You know it's cooleddie, right? Might as well ask him to stop breathing.
Oh, OK, for some reason I was thinking The Mighty Valkyries came out a longer ago than last year.
I hope the Graham Green rumor is true, he's a great actor.
Yup, I know. That's part of the joke.
Watched it. Liked it a lot.
