    Thor is alright to say because Thor is a god of mythology.

    Also, the Thor's Hammer unlock looks nothing like the hammer Marvel's Thor uses.

    My first thought when I read the blog is that Marvel won't like this.
    Yes, it is true the concept of Thor doesn't belong to them, but the blog was written specifically enough to be so close to their version, it's obvious.

    My second thought was how much I am annoyed that they are referencing the character that was mostly responsible for making Marvel Heroes permanently unplayable for me.


    This is what the hammer looks like to me:
    Goa'uld Squishing Hammer

    Bees like honey, they don't like vinegar.
    Everytime someone makes a character that is an copy of an existing superhuman, Creativity is sad :'(

    Marvel doesn't own valkyries, rainbow bridge or thunder and lightning. Or Thor's hammer in that matter.
    They are not worthy. They can not like it as much as they want. :#
    It's hard to make a viking hammer without reference of somekind to Thor....
    Ofcourse it looks like Goa'uld Squishing Hammer. Because it was build by Asgardians. ;)


    Also, the Thor's Hammer unlock looks nothing like the hammer Marvel's Thor uses.

    CO's hammer looks more like "real" Thor's hammer. And shape of Mjölnir pendants/carvings that have existed since the viking age. Marvel's Mew-mew is more of a mallet.... =)

    No offense intended, but the last time that logic was used, I didn't believe it either.
    For context, it was claimed that everyone in Star Trek Online who names their ship Normandy is referencing the historical battle/event, not the spaceship in Mass Effect.
    And I'm sure naming that ship's captain Shepherd means they're a flock animal herd management supervisor. ;)

    It's always the pop culture reference people will think of, not the source material.
    Outside of Stargate and Marvel, I doubt Thor has ever been referenced, because Viking based franchises aren't that common and none at all with Lightning Thunderbelt McGoldyLocks as a lead character/heroic super.
