YMMV / Thor (2020)

• Designated Hero: Thor's handling of the Donald Blake situation was incredibly far from heroic, particularly him essentially handing him over to Loki and not bothering to check what he had in mind for Blake. At best, Thor is ignorant. At worst, he is complicit. Granted, Blake killed a lot of people, but the punishment is still rather extreme. Later confirmed to be a case of him being ignorant.
• It's the Same, Now It Sucks!: Donny Cate's arc with Thor struggling to wield Mjolnir before relinquishing it in Issue #15 has been met with this reception amongst readers who felt like it was treading similar ground as it did under Jason Aaron's run just one year before.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: Donald Blake. Sure, he might have become an Ax-Crazy homicidal maniac, but he was also a victim of Odin's past manipulations whose life was nothing more than a fabrication to teach Thor some humility. A lot of readers also felt that the fate that Loki brought upon him (being chained to a rock to have snake venom poured into his eyes for all eternity) was too cruel.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: In relation to the aforementioned situation with Donald Blake, both Thor and Loki fall into this. The story treats them as being compassionate to Blake's situation by sparing his life in contrast to Odin's attempt to execute him, only for them to deal him an even crueller fate by having him tortured, seemingly forever. This is made even worse by how it appears killing him was an act of mercy in and of itself. This was somewhat lessened for Thor in Issue #27, which informs the reader that Thor isn’t aware of the torture that Donald Blake is currently going through, and it was mostly Loki’s idea.
