It is once again time to block all the leaks/spoilers tags and laugh as I can only see like everything second or third thing on your blog (I do genuinely just find it funny, I’ll go back and check everything after the official release)

But in the meantime I have a few random questions

1) is there any character designs that you would change and why? (Yuji’s scars don’t count I know you are attached to him keeping his scars)

2) is there any plot point that you would get rid of or do major changes to in the manga?

3) if you could magic force a character back to life who would it be?

LMAO honestly a lot of the things i tag as spoilers/leaks aren't even from the most recent chapter i'm just tagging most manga-related things at this point just to be safe even if weeks have passed :'> onto ur questions tho !

1. character designs i would change

as far as the characters i draw regularly, fr the most part i am happy with their designs and the differences between my interpretations vs canon more or less boil down to style differences. the way i draw the characters is the way they exist in my head. i draw them how /i/ want them to look. that being said i'm pretty sure i've mentioned before tht i would give yuuji and megumi a few inches to their hair/bangs shjdgfdsj i'm generally not a fan of the short spiky look i don't think it gives much to play with shape-wise. megumi is a bit better than yuuji but i still wld like his hair to be a bit more deliberately styled. *gestures 2 my megumi portfolio* comme ça

as for characters i don't draw as regularly that's where i have a few more gripes with some designs. nanami for example oh my god i'd make nanami's hair a sandier blond and not the awful yellow-green it is in the anime . clashes TERRIBLY with his shirt. i'll be so real i couldn't even get emotional abt his last stand/beach scene bc i was like God These Colours Hurt,,,, change his tie also while i'm at it.

i might get flack fr this but i do not like geto's/kenjaku's design. i think geto only looked good with his hair fully up, the minute he changed into the robes i was out. ik it's the point but imo it drowns him it makes the silhouette so bulky and busy and uninteresting. i dont have an alternative lmao i'm just a hater

2. plot points/manga arcs i would change

once the manga wraps up i promise i will dedicate a few days to reading it from start to finish and then maybe i will have an answer to this smile :)

3. character i'd bring back to life

shorter wong banana fish :(

/j i know u meant from jjk uhhhhh probably nanami or maybe choso

thanks to @itsfuckingcanon for tagging me!!

favorite color: this question is actually impossible. can I pick colors in relation to characters? I love the color palettes of yantao, eimiko, xiaoven, as well as kazuha and kokomi's color schemes. I also love colors associated with studio ghibli movies :)

currently reading: a book called Immune: A Journey Into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive by Philipp Dettmer about the immune system and an unhealthy amount of fanfiction.

last song: Do I Wanna Know by Arctic Monkeys

last movie: Ponyo !!

three fave ships: beiguang, piltover's finest, and xingyun. bonus ships because i'm an indecisive bitch: yantao, eulamber, rannett, xiaoven, wesper, renga, matcha blossom, stolitz,

currently working on: a beiguang fic with @jesterjangles and lowkey a yantao fic i've been conceptualizing for a while. i'm also working on literally every fucking fic idea that comes to me while i'm in the shower,,, let's just say my google drive has had enough of me opening new docs just to write 6 sentences.

comfort food: grapes grapes grapes!! canned peaches oMg and lays BAKED potato chips

fave time of the year: august- because it's fall (my favorite season) and because the word august is so awhwhwdyadsfuydf

favorite fic: I cannot possibly name my all time favoirte fic because that would be impossible. but my favorite tropes/ aus are definitely angst, only one bed, roomates, fake dating, high school au, modern au, enemies to lovers, smutt, mutual pining, and hurt/comfort.

bonus!- tropes I hate: soulmate au - (fucking annoying lol), suuuuuper slow burns - (bitch do you think I have that much time?!), chatfics- (feels lazy, has no plot at all, and hardish to read), fics with TOO MUCH plot- (ik ik i'm not making sense bc I just said not enough plot is annoying but there are just some fanfic writers, bless them, that try to tell me a Story,,, when i'm just trying to read about characters getting together), excessive miscommunication- (y'all aren't 2 years old just fucking TALK goddammit), and fics with HUGE paragraphs - (my poor eyes cannot even begin to digest those giant clumps of words)

Mighty Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder rant

Seeing Natalie Portman returning to reprise her role as Jane Foster, nevertheless wielding Mjolnir, finally getting the treatment this character deserves, was surreal to say the least. I had just started reading Lords of Midgard, the 8th issue of Mighty Thor (2015 - 2018), and had fallen in love already. But I didn't suspect at all that Taika Waititi would pull this card in Thor: Love and Thunder, considering Jane was barely mentioned in Ragnarok. The news about my favorite actress portraying one of my favorite characters coming out of the blue - you can imagine the excitement. Alas, I quickly remembered what the fandom thought of that comic (at least on tumblr) and imagined it now growing tenfold, cuz not everyone in the MCU fandom reads comics but pretty much everyone wants to watch another Thor movie. And yes, many fans weren't ready for this step, still recovering from Sam Wilson getting the shield in Endgame. Which is completely fine. We're not obligated to like everything Marvel throws in our faces, we're allowed to criticize and express our opinion on the internet or wherever. What is not okay is mindlessly hating, and even worse - using false facts to support said opinion.

I have seen some people using the argument that it is one of Marvel's worst selling comics. Which has already been proven wrong by multiple sites, including Comichron, just Google it, as I did myself. I read multiple posts, ones saying how good Jane is doing as Thor in sales, others disproving this, so I checked for myself the numbers at the site mentioned above month by month to be sure. The comic truly had its downfalls as the story progressed but in my opinion it's normal for the 1st issue to have more sales than the 21st. If we compare it to Unworthy Thor, which started running a bit later and followed the now unworthy Odinson, the data shows the latter had more sales. But then again, while Might Thor was at its 17th issue, Unworthy Thor was at its 2nd. Also, they later crossed paths, shared comic issues, it's fair to say they go hand in hand and Jason Aaron, the author, probably doesn't want us to compare them, as they complete and compliment each other's stories. Still I decided to check the comic that made Thor unworthy in the first place - Thor: God of Thunder (2012 - 2014), which seemed to me more "comparable" to Might Thor (2015 - 2018). *I keep putting the years it was being released so as to not be confused with previous Mighty Thor issues, whole Odinson was still Thor, please bear with me* So yes, the numbers were pretty close, but from what I saw, Mighty Thor had the upper hand if we compare first issue to first issue and so on. (In defense of Odinson, we have to take into account that this data is only from the US and does not include digital sales. Also, he's been around since the 50s. We could argue Jane was a breath of fresh air that some Marvel fans were indeed ready for. As a non-American, and also a person without a hint of knowledge in economics I cannot take into account inflation and whatever else has prevented or enabled Americans to get their hands on the comics or has affected prizes through the years. Bear that in mind.) Moreover, from what I saw on Comichron, both comics had much competition - God of thunder was released along with Avengers vs the X-men, the Uncanny X-men, pretty popular at the time, and the Goddess of Thunder faced Civil War 2 and DC Universe Rebirth (yes, DC is in the game too), also dominating with tremendous sales for the longest time. Yet I stick with my original statement - both Thors are valid and shouldn't be put against one another regardless of profit. Because at the end of the day what will matter the most is the story. And boy, what a story it is.

Now, I haven't read the Thor: God of Thunder, but as I was doing research I found one very well written summary and explanation of Thor's arc and his becoming unworthy and I will post a link below, because I honestly feel I wouldn't be doing this comic a favor by describing it without having read it. Which I plan to do in the future, tbh. It's a fantastic prelude to the Mighty Thor (2015 - 2018) that I've come to love. First, I'd like to ask you all to stop hating on the comic without having read it first. It doesn't make any sense and being petty for the sake of being petty won't benefit neither you, nor anyone, really. Now, about the comic itself - the art is magnificent. It's just gorgeous. Mighty Thor isn't , thank all the gods, sexualized, she is pretty buffed and generally looks like a warrior. As it is with the other characters, I dare say. The background truly captures the essence of every world Jane finds herself on. Action scenes are just the right amount and balanced with dialogue well. On a side note, it's pretty funny to read/listen to in your head the Shakespearean English cursive in which Jane talks as Thor. The plot line branches beyond this comic, starting from Thor: God of Thunder and leading to the War of Realms. And it is elaborately built in every issue. You don't know what to expect, yet it makes sense when it happens. Which leads me to the characterizations. My God, what a treat Loki is in this. Clearly, my opinion is kinda biased, since he's my favorite character, but you never know which side he's on. What his motivations are. And it just feels so... Loki. His writing is brilliant. Almost makes me forget what the MCU did to him. Also, he gets some daddy time with Laufey (not as kinky as I make it sound). Frigga/Freyja is just as awesome as in the MCU, even more, at least in the comics she calls Odin out on his shit, who btw is I guess an asshole in every version and universe. Malekith, the main villain, is unbearably despicable, I want to tear every page he is on. He really was mishandled in the Dark World, if you want some true action with the dark elves, you are welcome to enjoy. I saved the best for the end - Jane Foster/ Might Thor. Now, if you think Dr. Foster spends her time boasting about her worthiness and how Odinson is just called Thor, but she is Mighty Thor, you are horribly wrong. She just... does her job. Because the hammer chose her. Because there's no one else to do so. That's it. If you think there's some feminism involved, yes, there sure is, but it certainly isn't the reason Jane became Thor in the first place. It was not the creators going SJW because it's trendy, as such a mindset is honestly offensive to any descent creator with any self respect, but a well thought out story arc, which, I repeat, you have to read the comic to understand. Jane is not at all whiny about the hate she gets in-universe, not only from foes like Odin and who-not, but from Shield and generally people whose asses she's saving. Her having cancer is not something they pulled to provoke sympathy and make her look like a victim - on the contrary, she is a damn hero and a victor. I don't want to give out spoilers, but her being Thor is actually a giant sacrifice that no one really appreciates (both in-universe and in the fandom). She is not Thor to prove she can be, or just to prove "women can be heroes" - she doesn't have to. She is simply needed by the realms and so she does her job, even though she is called a thief, persecuted and generally hated. All that matters is that the hammer finds her worthy - the beauty and simplicity of that fact you will find out, for the last time, if you read the comic.

I'm not making you read the comic or watch Thor: Love and Thunder. I myself don't know what to make of this film yet because there's barely any information about it. I only know it will be based on the comic so that's a reason for my hopes to be up already. On the other hand, since I didn't like Loki's characterization in Ragnarok, I'm not sure what to expect from Taika. There are valid reasons to not like the idea of Jane returning to the MCU as Thor, which you are entitled to. However, reasons such as "why does everything have to be political these days" are not. Because if I had to make a list of everything politically related in the MCU, it would take forever. Steve Rogers kills nazis is the most blatant example. Make of it what you want. But I think we're far enough into the 21st century to realize art and real life are not that separable. It's undeniable that art affects people and that is to say, people everywhere. And they all have different opinions and aren't gonna like everything media is offering to them. And I wish I could simply tell you not to watch the movie but I'm a Marvel fan too and I understand that I can't just take away Thor from you because I want Mighty Thor as well. But none of us can stop Marvel from producing it. So, to quote an image I saw recently, I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people. Let the rest of the fandom enjoy what they want to enjoy. Yes, ik I can play around with the tags and avoid posts that unnerve me but, for example, I'm looking up Mighty Thor fanart, which obviously isn't anti-Mighty Thor, yet I get attacked in the comics for anticipating a movie that doesn't even have a full cast yet. Ik I'm not asking for too much when I wish to get the same internet experience (not only tumblr, but also insta, YouTube, Twitter, any site) as the Thor Odison fans, for example. I'm aware I cannot stop all the toxic fans and the trolls but I hope this post has inspired those of you who simply can't envision Jane as Thor, or don't like Natalie Portman in the role, or whatever eles personal preference that doesn't involve political issues and isn't harmful to the community, not to attack every post on your dash with hate. The movie is called LOVE and Thunder, for God's sake. (on a side note, is a franchise that is too afraid to show LGBT characters for more than 1 minute so as to not lose profit from China, THAT politically correct)

Anyway, that was a veeeery long rant, sorry to whoever reads this but, like, please, I put effort into this, hoping this time around I won't be the only positive reviewer of a movie, like I was with Solo: a Star Wars story (yes, I'm still bitter about this), which was boycotted for no apparent reason but was a decent film in reality, and I'm only bringing it up because it has a similar experience to Love and Thunder for getting hate before even being released. I'm not defending a billion dollar company that flopped in box office once, I'm defending the viewer's right to media they are interested in. If you don't like the character, remember - that's your opinion, not a fact that the character sucks. Kudos.

Not very easy to navigate, I advice you to do the research month by month individually for comics you'd like to compare. Also, if you happen to find more reliable data, pls say so in the comments.

Here you have the summary and explanation of the greatness of Thor: God of Thunder, Jesus, I'll go bankrupt if I buy this one too.

Yes, I want to end the sales dispute once and for all, I'm tired of seeing it on my dash. This guy probably explains it better than I did.
