Look, I Love Thor, But His Unworthy Thor Era Should Have Been Permanent


After Thor is told an unbearable truth about the gods and himself, the God of Thunder loses his right to carry Mjolnir and sets off on a quest as the “Unworthy Thor” to rediscover what it means to be a god. Compared to the other major arcs in Jason Aaron’s greater Thor epic, which spanned almost a decade, The Unworthy Thor is a minuscule addition that only served to bridge the God Butcher saga to the War of the Realms event a few years later. While Thor ultimately learns his lesson in Mighty Thor #705 (2018), after Jane helps the God of Thunder realize that he will always be Thor, with or without his hammer, it marks an oddly inconclusive end to the Unworthy Thor saga.
