So, I'm sure I'm not the only person who reads/has read Marvel as a kid and maybe even now, but how do you guys feel about the "updating" or changing of classic characters? I read today that Thor will be reintroduced as a woman, and last I checked Spider-man has been retold as a young mixed race kid from NY. As well as Nick Fury being changed to a black man because of the movie role, and Frank Castle is now a Desert Storm Veteran as opposed to Vietnam. Is it okay to alter these things because they are fiction, or is it more important to preserve the "Mythology" that comics represent in modern times, and hope to balance the marginalization of media by introducing new concepts/characters and see if they can stand alone beside the greats?

Boooo! I heard the news and was like "wtfhleavethoralone!"
I'd only accept the changes if she had control of the Destroyer armor and Odin Force from the get go, but only if her first fight was against the Celestials. |

Wolverine is going to die in September.
Kind of angry about that but I figure he won't stay dead for long.

Thor is going to become a woman?
I'm not apposed to female superheroines, but is Thor supposed to be the Son of Odin, and the God of Thunder in the Nordic pantheon?
This seems like a disservice to real mythology if anything...
Couldn't they have just made one of the Nordic Goddesses a superhero?

Thats my point too, I know Odin has lent the Mjolnir to people in the past when Thor was "AFK" so to speak, but this is a comic taken from actual mythology, why tamper with that to try and bolster support? There are plenty of, rightfully so....bad asses in Norse mythology that can be used, maybe introduced in a Thor comic, and brought into their own right.
And yes, Wolverine dying is pretty damn lame.
