History YMMV / Thor2014

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: The new Thor, at least to some, became this when they revealed she was [[spoiler: Jane Foster, fighting cancer]], due largely because it added a lot of depth to the character and because it finally put one serious source of ArcFatigue to rest.

** The ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentMarvel relaunch's handling of Loki. Both in regards to Loki's design (where he's regained his second horn and gloves but still has a torn jacket, and has gained PermaStubble, that resembles pubes glued to his chin, when Loki's typically been clean shaven, and is now explicitly an adult when previously appeared to be in a young adult form) and his characterization (where its teased he might be returning to villainy, but its not clear if this is just Loki tricking the villains), has been devisive between those who are glad to have Loki back and enjoy the way he's being handled, and those (mostly fans of ''ComicBook/LokiAgentOfAsgard'') who are less thrilled with how he appears to have forgoed the character development from that run and the differing characterization between now and how God of Stories Loki appeared. Really didn't help that Loki:[=AoA=] was one of the titles stealth cancelled (read: ended without an official word about it to this day) before the relaunch and also one without a clear follow-up giving its fans the impression that Marvel ''expects'' them to pick up the new Thor title for their Loki fix.

** Lady!Loki complaining about the "men" or making "we women" speeches comes off as either this or sarcasm depending what you think about the writer knowing what he is doing as main universe Lady!Loki was classical Loki in Sif's stolen body, and quite insistent on being just as much of a man as ever. If the writer knows this it must be sarcasm, if not... yeah... narm.

* FanNickname: Not a good one, but sections of 4chan and reddit have taken to calling her Whor.

* BrokenBase: The reveal of who she really is further splits the fandom. Some actually would've ''preferred'' it if Lady Thor was [[spoiler: Roz Solomon]] instead of [[spoiler: Jane Foster]], since they find her more interesting. While some are interested in what could be done with a Thor who [[spoiler: has cancer]], others think it just gives the character a poor shelf life.

** Because she didn't. She went just by the Goddess of Thunder for the first couple of issues and the editorial mandate for her being Thor is presented in-comic as Thor Odinson's idea. The whole thing seems to be a huge identity crisis for the character as exemplified by the tome containing this part of his story found by his granddaughters in the ''Last Days of Midgard'' arc of ''Thor: God of Thunder''. '''It was hidden and chained shut.'''

** Some have also pointed out that the ''Thor: God of Thunder'' series, specifically the arc ''Godbomb'', spoils the fact that Thor himself will reclaim the hammer eventually, as some events he mentions to his younger self have already happened in current books, making some wonder why [[spoiler: Jane]] has taken Thor's name instead of just the hammer and powers.

* InNameOnly: Many do not like that she has Thor's name, rather than simply having her own identity with the Hammer. At least one fan decided to address the issue in a video, seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kTcKaI6450 here]], in an attempt to explain why some had, and some still do have, a problem with it. It basically boiled down to the idea that while many will accept that Jane has the hammer, they do not find her using Thor's actual ''name'' appropriate. Mainly due to the fact that Thor's name is, in fact, his actual ''name'', not a costumed identity. The only other character in Marvel to use the hammer and name without being directly connected in some manner to Thor himself was an alternate reality 22nd century hero whose real name is Dargo, but it's hinted that in his case, Thor was ''dead'' in that era, and thus Dargo is a legacy hero. The fact that Thor himself is actually ''alive'' while [[spoiler: Jane]] is running around with Mjolnir is what kills it for many readers.

* ContestedSequel: Either a case of {{Sequelitis}} or EvenBetterSequel, as Jason Aaron's ''Thor: God of Thunder'' was pretty well-liked by readers.

** Despite previous wielders of the hammer getting their own superhero names (like Thunderstrike or Beta Ray Bill), she is just 'Girl Thor'.

* {{Anvilicious}}: A common criticism of the book is how heavy handed the feminism is, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the fight between Thor and the Destroyer. Odinson calls on all the women he suspected of being Thor (which apparently includes every woman he's ever met) to help in the fight when Frigga questions how they'll stop it. Frigga proceeds to shout what may as well be, "girl power!" Many readers also noted that there are ''no men'' among the group, even though it would've been pretty easy for Odinson to round some up while finding the Amazon Army, and felt the feminist series even ''more'' Anvilicous, at best, and sexist at worst.

* BaseBreaker: Female Thor herself. A major change to a beloved character is always going to be met with resistance, but some accuse the comic of just being feminist propaganda given how some of the stories play out. The reveal of who she really is further splits the fandom.

* BaseBreaker: Female Thor fans of Odinson were not exactly welcoming of her. It only got worse as some accused the comic of just being feminist propaganda. But after the reveal of who Thor really is som fans have become more accepting of the new Goddess of Thunder.
