I'm sure somebody will post one of the numerous posts or pages that explain why he's so based, but the long and short of it is that he is a man or honor, duty, and unwavering resolve. He's always been this, and it seems people haven't fucked it up yet. I think the reason is because normies can't into a horse-faced Thor, so they leave Bill out of many stories, meaning only people who like him end up writing him.

Didn't he become such a dick trying to kill Galactus that he became unworthy of Stormbreaker?

Yes he did

There are so many weird heroes I've never heard that /co/ makes me aware of.

Odinson has been on Hydra Cap's Avengers. There was a great scene where he's getting hammered hehe in a bar wallowing in self-pity and tries to get Steve to join him, but Steve BTFOs him by asking him why he doesn't just go reclaim the hammer again when it's just sitting in the middle of Central Park.

That's fucking stupid though, because it's only through retarded writer contrivance that Thor can't pick up Mjolnir anymore

>>94903481
That's what Steve was BTFOing him about: Thor's such a mope right now he refuses to even try to pick it up, just keeps saying he's unworthy.

And we know he's about to get it back anyway.

>>94903522
Which again, I don't feel Thor is getting BTFO there. Thor being mopey and annoying feels out of character and shitty. If anything it's talking shit to Aaron

Thor and Steve are old buddies, so I'm sure Steve is as embarrassed about the way Thor is acting as we are.

>>94903569
I'd have to go back and read the scene again, because describing it sounds like you're right, but I recall when I read it I felt it made a good point.

He's specifically supposed to be "his planet's greatest predator", which we never see. But IIRC even 4 or 5 issues in they already start to have characters refer to him as horse-like.

>>94902253
Because he always shows up when shit gets real and it's always awesome when it happens because the book with two Thors in it always goes full cosmic tier power.

>>94902253
Because he's a based Atheist.

Thank God this doesn't have the recolor version.

I reread the SE part and it's definitely Steve telling Thor to nut up and go get his hammer. He keeps goin "I'm not Thor! I'm not worthy! I need you to believe it, Steve!"

And Steve goes "You don't even believe in yourself, you haven't even tried to go pick up the hammer you puss"

So to me it feels like the first time since the Unworthy thing has begun that someone actually called out Thor on just letting all this nonsense happen.

>>94903855
I don't see your point? It's still a shitty writer's contrivance that Thor is acting like a big fucking baby.
Thor isn't a person dude, he's a character. Who is currently being written by a pair of hacks in Spencer and Aaron

>>94902253
He's the guy that could lift mjolnir when this used to mean something that isn't forcing a progressive agenda.

I think I'd actually have been more OK with the whole Unworthy thing if some kind of antihero had taken the hammer from him instead of Jane, because then at least Thor would get to take the hammer back by force instead of just waiting till Jane dies.

Except Hydra Cap and Crazy Odin have both lifted the Hammer since then. The Hammer itself is judging worthiness, and has been very much all over the place about who's "worthy".

I also like that he has a silly name like "Bill" instead of some weird alien name like J'onn J'onzz.

Stuff with Blake gets dealt with in the subsequent issue that basically sets up the status quo for the rest of the run.

DIVERSITY DONE RIGHT.

IIRC aren't people actually pretty excited for Ragnarok because it's doing something completely different from the other two Thor movies? I can't imagine it turning out poorly.

>>94905152
>I can't imagine it turning out poorly.
I don't expect it to be bad. But I also don't have much hope that it will be particularly GOOD either. Just another by the numbers, checklist Marvel movie.

>>94905152

>I can't imagine it turning out poorly.

That trailer with the 'funny' Hulk and Thor banter kinda resoured me on the whole thing.

I know we'll never get the huge epic Thor stuff from the comics (see movie 1 where the Destroyer is obliterated in a half second) but it still always nags at me.

>>94905212
Hydra Cap used some wizardry to banish Whor to another dimension, causing her to drop her hammer. Then Steve picks it up and zaps everyone, then puts it back down in a park in Washington DC, where he leaves it in case he needs it.

DC is all like "What if Superman is a god" but one of Marvel's characters is literally a god out of mythology and nobody's like "Holy shit, gods really do exist and this proves the Norse religion to be the correct religion."

>>94907768
Well no, because deities from practically all religions exist.
In-universe Christians just say that they're extremely powerful entities, but not truly gods, or the true God

>>94907768

There have been storylineso explicitly about Thor's divinity- the Crusader was created back in the 70s to basically have Thor state the days of worship are and should be over, and the entirety of Dan Jurgen's Reigning arc was about Thor using the Odinforce to become Earth's immortal God King with disastrous results.

>>94902818
What a stupid belief system

Beta Ray Bill is one of the greatest comic book characters of all time.
You think the origin of Captain America is impressive? Take everything about it and multiply it by FUCK YEAH. Bill's people, the alien race known as the Korbinites, were on the brink of destruction. Their entire solar system was about to be annihilated by the explosion of its sun. "WE GOTTA HAUL ASS," decided the top Korbinite scientist. "HOW ABOUT WE LOAD OURSELVES UP INTO A FUCK-OFF-HUGE FLEET OF SPACESHIPS AND JUST HYPERSLEEP UNTIL WE REACH A NEW HOME PLANET?" offered another. "AWESOME IDEA. BUT WHAT IF WE'RE ATTACKED EN ROUTE WHILE EVERYONE'S NAPPING?"
And so they decided they needed a protector on this journey. So what did they do? They gathered together a few hundred thousand of the greatest warriors, the cleverest strategists, the noblest of hearts -- basically the strongest, toughest, wisest and most perfect motherfuckers on the planet.
THEN THEY TORE THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS APART.
Trial after trial after test after test after OH YEAH LET'S TRY OUT THESE NEW CYBERNETIC IMPLANTS AND BIOENGINEERING PROCESSES WHILE WE'RE AT IT WHO CARES IF IT'S 99.9 PERCENT LETHAL. The volunteers, each of them easily the equivalent of most Earthling superheroes, sacrificed themselves one by one until only the greatest of them remained.
BETA RAY BILL IN THIS BITCH.
His own people could hardly look upon him by the end of the transformations. He didn't look a damn thing like a Korbinite anymore -- they pretty much look like humans without noses, ears, pupils, pinky fingers and hair, with golden skin -- instead, he'd taken on the face of one of the planet's most fearsome predators as a result of the gene experiments. Half of his body was made of superadvanced machinery designed solely for battle. And he carried on his shoulders the weight of all those other volunteers' sacrifices. But he sucked all that shit up, BECAUSE HE WAS BETA RAY BILL AND HE HAD A FLEET OF SHIPS TO SHEPHERD THROUGH THE COSMOS!

>>94909706
So off they went, until SHIELD satellites noticed them and beamed images back t Earth. Nick Fury took one look at the GIGANTIC ALIEN SWARM OF SHIPS and damn near popped his other eyeball out of its socket. "SOMEONE GET ON THE FUGGIN' HORN," he roared! "WE NEED THOR AND WE NEED HIM FIVE SECONDS AGO!"
Meanwhile the fleet of Korbinite ships had made it out of the blast zone of their doomed sun. It exploded, and from its molten heart came a seemingly endless plague of demons! They flowed out across space to chase down and attack the fleeing Korbinites! BUT OH FUCK NO, NOT ON BETA RAY BILL'S WATCH! THAT HORSEFACED BADASS MOFO DROVE THEM OFF! Again! And again!
Until Thor showed up, looking into all of this business as a favour to ol' Nick Fury. Bill's sensors told him that Thor's energy signature was a close match for the demons he'd been fighting. GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM.
"DEMON, YOU ABOUT TO GET FUCKED UP," Bill said, and proceeded with the utter fucking-shit-up of the Thunder God. He punched that Odinson so hard he madehim drop his enchanted mallet Mjolnir.
"WHAT'S ALL THIS SHIT?" Bill was like, squinting at the words carved on it. "WHOSOEVER HOLDS THIS HAMMER, IF HE BE WORTHY, SHALL POSSES THE POWER OF THOR?" well shit, if worthy had a face, it was Bill's. So he grabbed that bitch and hefted it up like KRAKKABOOM! "THORSE LIVES!"
Bill was pumped. with the magical power of the hammer added to his own retardedly powerful strength, he could protect his people from damn near anything. But Odin, Thor's Dad, stepped in and was all, "THAT AIN'T YOUR HAMMER, FUCKER! FIGHT MY SON TO THE DEATH, THEN YOU CAN HAVE YOUR DAMN HAMMER."

607KB, 988x1600px

>>94909724
So Bill and Thor faced each other hand-to-hand in a land of fire and lava and lowed that fucking place up. They hit each other so hard they broke the fucking planet and woke up on a raft of stone headed over a lava waterfall. Well, Bill woke up. Thor was still knocked the fuck out. "I CAN DO IT. I CAN JUST HOP TO SHORE AND LET THIS BLONDE FUCKER DIE, THEN I'LL HAVE THE HAMMER AND MY PEOPLE WILL BE SAFE AS SHIT." But Bill was too noble for that, see? He grabs Thor and jumps him to safety too, because that shit wuddn't right.
Odin was grateful as all hell for that. "AWW FUCK IT," he decided. "YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN HAMMER." So he had the dwarves make up a new hammer, identical to Thor's in every way except shape and colour, which he made superior to the original because Bill was a pimp.
So basically Beta Ray Bill possesses all of the powers that Thor gets from Mjolnir, as well as the personal power to whup Thor's ass WITHOUT a hammer. He once split Galactus' helmet open and then came within an inch of killing Galactus off once and for all (read GODHUNTER!)
There's your fucking Beta Ray Bill.

>>94905064
He's also in Ragnarok, you see a statue to him in the trailer. There is a statue commemorating all the champions of Sakar and Bill is next to Hulk and Man-Thing(?)

>>94907768
Read Thor: Heaven an Earth. A catholic priest gets mad at Thor cause it throws his whole belief in his god into question. He asks Thor to tell him if his god does exist and if there is an afterlife for him. Thor keep returning every ten years to try, but has no answer. The priest dies and Thor is depressed about never having found out if the priest is going to his heaven. Great story
