When the God of Thunder became the
Goddess of Thunder the move was marked with controversy. Sure, female
superheroes are not many and move helps balance that, but is the right way?
There’s no easy answer to that, despite what some people think. Here’s my view.
Making Thor a woman (in the same way they made the Punisher black for a few issues) would’ve been a mistake because it's a stupid plot-line with an instant
reverse button if things go wrong. Making a woman Thor is what Marvel actually
did. Just like they made a Hispanic Spider-man (Miles Morales), a Black Captain America (Sam Wilson) etc.
It’s not ideal, especially in the latter case where the man in question already had an
alter-ego (the Falcon). But I’d take that over changing a character because universe reset –
yeah, I’m talking to you DC Wally West!
