One of the best runs on Thor was writer Jason Aaron's 7-year long run writing for the title. Aaron introduced Gorr, the God Butcher, the new female Mighty Thor, and wrote all sorts of cool adventures. Many of those ideas ended up being adapted into the MCU movie Thor: Love and Thunder. This video takes a look at what makes Aaron unique as a writer, specifically analyzing the first 11 issues of his run, paired with artist Esad Ribic.

I never processed the idea that Gorrs son betraying him could be his subconscious trying to bring him back to the light. What a wonderful thought. Great insight!

The character did need a bit more development, gorr always felt like an epic but ultimately hollow villain. For instance he's ensuring others suffer without their gods just like he did. And that Thor fights back proves not all gods are bad. He's an eternal pessimist, it's not the most thought out personal philosophy.

The fact that gods just...EXIST in all classical superhero universes is one of the big jokes that's always directed at them. But truly examining what that MEANS is a big swing to take, and on that couldn't be attempted without an awareness of possible controversy. It's a very high minded, high concept idea that this run pulls off so well as to make it look easy

Jason Aaron's God of Thunder run is what made Thor my favorite Marvel superhero. In particular, the first two arcs of God of Thunder, God Butcher and God Bomb, really brought out the epic-ness of the character, thanks to Jason Aaron's writing, and Esad Ribic's amazing art, which really lent itself well to the epic aspect of the story. Thank you for this episode, I'm really glad to hear about this run from one of my favorite comics KZfaqrs!

Aaron's Thor run was really really good, i just wished he paid a little more attention to previous and current continuity in other books (e.g.: he completely ignored everything in Ewing's Loki: agent of asgard run, which, by the way is a read i'd highly recommend), but, man, I don't know what happened with his avengers run, i (personally) find it a slog to read (everything is so crancked up to eleven that nothing actually feels exciting, and that war of the realms she-hulk tie-in in which he basically just complained about people not liking his she-hulk for 20-ish pages was baaaaaad). Anyway, great review as always, love your videos!

I'm a Jason Aaron stan all the way, but I agree. His Avengers has been like "Avengers but with explosive rage and ALL the toys." I will say now that I see some Englehart in his stories I appreciate more his pulling from those sources, but it just hasn't been for me. Mind you, I think the best run of Avengers of all time was Busiek and Perez, so I set my bar pretty high, but yeah...his Avengers has just been all over the place.

@@v-trigger6137 personally, I liked it (although the beginning was VERY rough, like an issue in which Jane was fighting Titania and the Absorbing Man and Titania knocked out her husband and surrendered because she gave Jane a "girl pass" or something similar...Titania... The one that regularly fights She-Hulk. Furthermore I really don't care for the way he writes Odin, like, at all) I wouldn't know about Thor being out of character: on the one hand, at the beginning of Jane's run I recall him being quite a dick, but it kinda made sense with him being found unworthy (and why it was found so), getting mutilated and finding out someone else took his hammer and apparently has better control over it than him, all in a short time; later on he became more in line with the previous depictions. I'd say that from the point when the reader is made privy on who the new Thor is and onward the book gets pretty good, it just has some growing pains at the beginning. (BTW, not to shill, but if you have a phone/tablet/whatever and you are on the fence about the series, you could subscribe to Marvel Unlimited and give it a try: best case scenario, you love it and start collecting the physical copies; worst case, you don't like it and still have A LOT of great stories to read/try until your subscription expires)

You know going in that it doesn't matter. None of these characters are going to be the next Phoenix, and even if they are, it won't be for very long. So why drag this out?

@@sim4344 There's a panel with narration in Hickman's Powers of X book. Which refers to the 2010's as the "lost decade". A veiled swipe at the quality of Aaron, Bendis and Fraction's output. Obviously the petty, behind the scenes movie rights nonsense by Disney played a part in it, too. My own personal favourite X-Man - Beast - has been at the receiving end of near constant character assassination. Which began during this time too. The title of 'Wolverine and the X-Men' (both the comic and show) put a lot of fans backs up also. For obvious reasons. Bachelo's art being quite divisive didn't help. I believe it was Bendis that championed the current bastardisation of the Phoenix Force in AvX too. Treating it as a power-up for everyone, when it *never* was.

@@pious83 Sure. But I don't think "quality" is quite the right word. Art is subjective. Even my problem isn't so much with his writing as it is with the nature of modern superhero comics and writing stories with the tpb in mind. For all that I've heard complaining about Aaron's run, including some from myself, I kinda feel like he wouldn't be on what, year 4 of his run if it was that much of a problem. What obvious reasons? Again, I quite enjoyed it. I know I'm not the only one. I'll agree that Bachalo is very stylized, and not everyone's cup of tea. But Nick Bradshaw also drew a lot of the series. That sounds right. I didn't care for AvX.

I recently read this entire run by Aaron and had a totally different reaction to it. I think the greatest weakness it had was that the entire premise of Thor doubting himself, or rather Mjolnir doubting him, made absolutely no sense. What really was different about Thor between when he became "unworthy" and at the end of the run where he magically became worthy again? He was a hero throughout the run, looking to save others all the time, even due to some great sacrifices to himself. There was no great change because the character was being a hero the entire time. The answer is because the story demanded it basically, because at no point in the story did it actually make you think that "yeah, Thor is totally unworthy....you know while he's saving the universe.... again". And you can tell Aaron had no clue how he was going to make Thor "unworthy" since he didn't reveal what was whispered to him in Original Sin for months and months later. When the reveal finally happened......it was just plain dumb. I can understand trying new things, like a female Thor. Although I also found it weird that she named herself Thor, the hammer gives you the power of Thor. You don't actually *become* him. I can understand why Marvel the comic publishing company wants to publish her in a comic named Thor for sales purposes, but storywise again it made no sense. I would like for this different story Aaron wanted to tell, to just have better reasoning behind it I guess than none at all. Make Thor actually have done something that would make him, or rather again Mjolnir, question his worthyness. If Mjolnir thought all the Gods were unworthy, why would it create another God by making a female Thor? For that matter what had the new Thor done to being worthy? If we're looking at the worst examples to base the worthyness of the entire group like was being done to the Gods, how in the Hell would humans be seen as more worthy? :D I thought it was an ok journey overall, definitely helped by the great art. But I wouldn't put it at the upper half of Thor runs.

I think making Jane Thor makes sense seeing a mjolnir deemed the gods unworthy because of gorr’s ideology of there are no gods and if they do exist then they don’t care what happens to us because they let atrocities happen everywhere like what happened to his tribe and family, because while Thor does save the planet and the world all the time along with the avengers there are times when he might not be needed in a conflict because the other avengers would be enough to stop the threat so instead of doing that he could focus on answering the prayers of people that might actually need him and I think mjolnir making Jane foster Thor works in my opinion because she’s a human and deals with human problems just like the people Thor is supposed to be protecting no matter how small their prayer may be.

Like the whole Jane Foster arc felt like entirely supported itself in the gimmick yet did nothing to make Jane's character compelling which I don't get because Aaron can write great female characters, his new character during his ghost rider run Sara the caretaker for example is a fantastic new character that stand on her own, yet Jane feels like a carboard cut out in Aaron's mighty Thor. We are never given a satisfactory reason of why she became worthy outside of having a uncurable deasease that she is offered magic cures but she rejects, this directly contradicts the what makes one worthy as it was clearly layout by Simonson's Thor with Beta Ray Bill that to be worthy is not just being a good person, not just to go through great personal pain, Bill and Thor common ground was always that they carried their entire people's safety, hopes and destiny on their backs, and the fact they were willing to expand their devotions to other people, I never got that out of Aaron's version of Jane, hell Sif would had been a better pick for female Thor, or use the retcon in Strancinsky's Thor that part of Thor's soul was used by Strange to reforge the hammer, and that Thor's love for Jane was what allow her to lift the hammer initially and she later becomes worthy as her character develops, kinda how Thuderstrike became worthy by living Thor's life. I mean is not a bad run but I feel Aaron's lost a lot his writting quality during this run, it doesn't help his Avengers' run after this one has a lot of the cast feeling out of character specially She-Hulk.

A lot of people think that Jane-Thor was editorially mandated rather than something Aaron wanted to do. If so, that would explain why he had trouble writing her.

They bring up a question but never answer it. They brought up the issue of "if gods are good why dont the help us?" But never had thor answer it. It was turned into a generic good vs bad at the end ☹

That ending list was almost biblical... "Thus Thors begat The Mighty Thor, who begat The Unworthy Thor, who begat The Mighty Thor..."

God just think how awesome it would have been to have 3 thors instead of having thor regress back to being thor 1 for this new thor movie.

Never cared about Thor until I got the Marvel Unlimited subscription and chanced upon the Aaron run. Drawn in by the covers, I wound up loving the story. I also became a huge Jason Aaron fan!

Great video, but I need to look up just what a god is in marvel, cuz I've never really thought about how they're different than a regular super person.

One of few times of Aaron writing to the main character of the story. Wish he would do that more often

I've watched the video of Thor dealing with Gorr the God Butcher. I've also read Walt Simonson's Thor. But, my favorite is still Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's Thor. I would like to know your opinion on the MCU/Chris Hemsworth Thor. That is if you've watched any of the movies.
