* BrokenBase: Thor's fans disagree over his treatment by Marvel.
* [[IncestSubtext Bro]] [[FoeYay Yay]]: Thor and Loki
* DracoInLeatherPants: Loki. Not having a designated love interests leaves him wide open for the [[MarySue Mary Sues]]...
** The amount of {{Mary Sue}}s seems to be decreasing with the introduction of [[{{Tsundere}} Leah]]...and the fans [[FanPreferredCouple love them]]...
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Kid Loki, Leah and Thori have gained an incredible popularity.
** No longer the case with Thori now that he reveals his allegiance to his father, Hel-Wolf.
** Volstagg was an EnsembleDarkhorse long before them, especially when we got to see how awesome of a father he was.
* HilariousInHindsight: Loki got reincarnated as a boy, and Asgard wants him dead? Not only that, but he's also solving the mysteries that surround him with his female sidekick? And adding to that, he solves a mystery which involved extracting evil nightmares from suffering dreamers? [[MythicalDetectiveLokiRagnarok Sounds sort of familiar...]]
* JerkassWoobie: No matter how you feel about Kid Loki, his methods, or if Ikol has a bigger plan in store for him, watching him in the new ''Mighty Thor'' issues eight and nine, first struggling to remember his brother and then after achieving that hacing to deal with the fact that ''no one else does'' just makes you want to hug him. He also only really acted like a jerk to Donald Blake after the doctor asked how Loki could forget ''Tanarus'', driving the knife deeper.
** He does however quickly [[ThrowTheDogABone get an ally and recovers Mjolnir]], and that ally just so happens to be [[spoiler: The Silver Surfer.]]
* IdiotPlot: Any plot that involves Thor or anyone else trusting [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Loki]] becomes one of these after, oh, his tenth betrayal (so, since the mid-1960s). The current mega-arc by J. Michael Straczynski would be the most recent example.
** Of course in JMS' story Thor and most of the named Asgardians didn't trust Loki (except for Balder) but Loki used Thor's words about Asgardians getting a fresh start on Earth against him.
** It's like that in the original myths, too. Loki's REALLY good at getting people to listen to him who should know better by now.
*** That's debatable. The gods in the original myths didn't trust Loki as much as they tolerated him as long as he made up for the trouble he caused.
* MagnificentBastard: Loki. He's frequently viewed as nearly harmless because most of his plots are just staged entertainment to occupy his near immortal life, but this undercuts just how dangerous he is when he gets serious. Loki is the god of mischief and obfuscation, and other big powers like [[DoctorDoom Dr. Doom]] and Mephisto tread on eggshells when he comes knocking.
* MemeticMutation: "My god has a hammer. Your argument is invalid."
** And the distinctly more confrontational: "Your god was nailed to a cross. My god has a hammer. Any questions?"
* MyRealDaddy: For a large portion of the fanbase, the stories and art of Creator/WalterSimonson will never be surpassed.
* NarmCharm: Some of the Shakespearian dialogue can be downright silly. But when you have [[SoCoolItsAwesome a god with a hammer that shoots lightning engaged in mortal combat with thirty-foot frost giants]], it just seems appropriate. And, well, awesome.
** This is the ''only'' reason Frog!Thor works. The whole storyline seems ridiculous, but the frogs are just so... noble. And once you're sucked in, you can ignore how absolutely bizarre the actual Frog!Thor looks.
* OlderThanTheyThink: The idea that Thor is blond and clean-shaven is not Marvel's. There's [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/Thor.jpg/405px-Thor.jpg a painting]] done by a Swedish artist in 1872 that features a similar Thor.
* UncannyValley: Loki's female form (as drawn by Olivier Coipel) is unsettling and creepy despite him inhabiting a beautiful body. The reason? [[http://i.imgur.com/tKxTu.jpg No eyebrows.]]
* TheWoobie: Kid Loki is slowly turning into this. Thor's dead, but Kid Loki can't remember him and then he can ''but'' is still the only one who knows Tanarus isn't him. ''And'' everyone in Asgard hates him again (to where other children punched him for considering talking to Volstagg when the man was dressed as Santa). The All-Mother want to protect him and consider him a good asset, '''but''' he must remain a secret asset and so the abuse continues. '''And''' he's living in a hole in the ground. '''[[FromBadToWorse And]]''' tormented by nightmares of Thor that he can barely remember when he's awake.
** He seems to be dealing with it as best he can, though, sliding more into an IronWoobie.
** ''And'' by the end of the Manchester Gods arc he's screaming and sobbing. They're going for full-out BreakTheCutie with him.
** And in Journey into Mystery #645, oh boy, does Marvel break him.
