The Rise and Fall of Donny Cates' Thor

Рет қаралды 2,746

Күн бұрын

Written by Donny Cates and illustrated by Nic Klein, the first issue of Thor was published by Marvel Comics in 2020. And Thor is now the King of Asgard. With new responsibilities and an age of peace across the Ten Realms, life is somewhat… boring for the All-Father. But when the Black Winter threatens his very existence, it will send him directly into the crosshairs of Thanos, the Hulk, Donald Blake and even Galactus. But what if his greatest weapon is now his biggest obstacle?
Between the omnibus due this year and the sudden departure of Cates, I wanted to go over the series and wonder what exactly this could've been.

AUDIO NOTE: Apologies if the voice-over audio sounds off. I became quite ill the last few weeks, and didn't realise how much of it came across until I was editing, so I tried to disguise it a bit which is why it might sound a bit bassy. I'm still nowhere near where I need to be with audio effects, but hopefully it doesn't derail this video too much. It may also have an impact on the next one also. 🐶🐶 WOOF WOOF! NEW VIDEO! 🚨🚨 It's one of the biggest what ifs in recent Marvel. Donny Cates hit the ground running with Thor, but had to leave suddenly. So today I revisit the full series, and wonder what we're left with? 🔨📚🤔 . Yes, you heard right, MADDOGG MERCH IS HERE! 🤯 We've got some phenomenal designs by @shadowcatmanga that you can pick up today and support the channel! This has been a long time coming, so please show some love! Www.MaddoggComics.com 🐶 . If you want to support the channel, why not treat yourself to something from the channel sponsor: OrganicPricedBooks!

Hope you guys enjoy! Apologies if the audio isn't up to scratch, I didn't realise how ill I sounded when recording and tried to edit it in post. Give it a like, subscribe if you're new, and share where you can! . Spider-Man by Spencer review is next, but until then, stay Mad, Doggs! WOOF WOOF! 🐶

Mannnnn did Donny Cates make Thor so powerful in this run. It was so much fun. And I wish we got to see the FULL vision Donny was building with his writing on all his titles. Awesome review bro. PS: I really miss Donny Cates man. His writing is so fun and refreshing and I really hope he comes back full force.

I love Donny Cates run on Thor even though it was finished by someone else. However, I do agree that Odin should have stayed dead. Great video as always keep it up.

@muriok2474 Ай бұрын

Its was so heartbreaking for me. It started so strong, frustratingly forced my self to finish it

@MaddoggComics Ай бұрын

Same here, if I wasn't committed to the video, I'd have probably dropped it after Banner Of War. Thanks for watching the video mate! 🐶

@jessemillan1385 Ай бұрын

Donny Cates' Thor to me is one of the runs on Thor to date. From the Black Winter arc, the God of Hammers Arc, Banner of War, all the way to the arc where Thor prevents a vision of Thanos wielding an infinity Mjolnir. I love the Thor comics, but I need to read the Thor Epic Collections, J. Michael Strazynski's run, and Jason Aaron's run.

Donny Cates fell off hard for me. I thought he was Marvel’s saviour at one point, and now he’s just another writer I don’t keep up with

@christiaanheying4707 Ай бұрын

Well he hasn’t released a book in 2 years so that’s probably why

@RedKingdom28 Ай бұрын

I’ve always wanted to check out ghost rider by him

@aaronharvey5625 Ай бұрын

He hasn’t released anything in years and both this and his Hulk run had to be finished by other people because he was in a/recovering from a coma.

@kalkella8822 Ай бұрын

@@aaronharvey5625 That coma stuff is crap. It happened after all of the stuff with Thor and Hulk. He has a drug problem and his wife left him, he just used the accident which happened later as an excuse for not doing his work and skipping conventions constantly. The current rumor is that he's blackballed from the industry. Apparently, he did something really bad behind the scenes which we'll probably never know about ala Beau Demayo of X-Men 97. Marvel is literally paying him to not work, they're just waiting for his exclusive to run out so they can throw him out the door, and it doesn't look like anyone else is clamoring for him.

@aaronharvey5625 Ай бұрын

@@kalkella8822 do you have any source for any of that? I’ve legitimately never heard that. I can’t even find it from the normal obvious click bait websites. Also going to go out on a limb and say that when you’re blackballed from the industry they’re not going to choose to continue making new omnibuses of your work, especially your “less than stellar” work that could easily be forgotten and no one really would miss. Also, he was literally listed in the thanks for ultimate invasion. So are you saying this big “black ball” worthy thing he did was in the last 8 months?

Thanks for the review, saved me time and money. ❤I will get it when it is cheaper after release.

Glad it helped to save you some money! Would definitely recommend giving the first part a read, Marvel Unlimited was the best investment I made to this hobby 😇 thanks for watching the video mate! 🐶

@davidc1664 Ай бұрын

What bugs me too is I asked Cates on Twitter if Eric Masterson would show up in his run and he was like YUP but never happened

@davidc1664 Ай бұрын

I hope you do more videos on more “controversial “ runs. Probably more views! But yeah I was on fence about getting omni of this run but I just couldn’t do it. It falls apart

Hope u are starting to feel a little better now. I worry bout my Maddogg ha ha.😄 If u didn't know Maddogg, Cates had a serious car accident where his face literally went into a laptop. He now has severe memory loss and had to learn to do basic functions all over again. I feel really bad for him. Hopefully he comes back one day.😕

@MaddoggComics Ай бұрын

I'm getting there thank you mate, very nazally at the moment! And damn, I knew it was kinda quiet as to what happened, such a shame for him, and I hope he is doing better now! Thank you for watching the video mate! 🐶

Honestly the sound on the voice over sounded ok to me. Actually from ur review run still sounds not bad with some good ideas, just a bit overly long and repetitive at times. Great review👍

Great video!, I learned a lot of writers/artist from this videos. A suggestion/request… Jason Aaron is the new writer of Ninja Turtles, I’m not familiar with him, I’ve read people complaining about him (also people celebrating)… as a huge turtles fan I’m gonna read it anyways, but I would love to know more about him! 😅 Thanks!!! Good day!!

I personally thought Donny cates Thor run was interesting but unfortunately the ending was disappointing in my opinion.

Just hit start but I feel if you don’t mention his personal life it’s not right but if you mention his personal life it’s not right.

Didn't enjoy it when it was coming out so i guess I'm not getting the omni

Well, the run fell off. i appreciated Thor getting to be a. Power house, after so many stories of him being Nerfed

i like the idea that donny cates is gonna rewrite comics because of his amnesia like zack snyder doing a director's cut

@alexandrechampagne4948 Ай бұрын

I have been reading thor since the first journey into mistery started years ago but now im at the Dan Jurgens run Thor heroes return. In my opinion in comic you need to read the whole run of a character to judge wich one is the best. A lot of people recommended run for batman, thor, etc that i really didn’t like. For example thor from Walter S is really bad. For many reasons. The first being its the first time thor suffer back to back sour defeats. Making your hero you been reading for 20 plus years fealli g helpless and beaten. Wow what a great run right the one you need to read if you like the hero. Fuck no its the one that should get red con and ban from the timeline. I know donny cates made sure to avenge those defeat and made thor destroy Beta Ray Bill once and for all. Everything seams super nice with thor becoming the most powerful being in the universe at some point with his new power. I don’t know why people say it’s bad but im there yet i got 20 plus years to catch up on my hero. Honnestly don’t make your opinion on what to read with online comments. You got to read the full run to know what was the best era.
