It would have made more sense just to create a new character, even if similar in powers, costume, etc. I guess they did try to take the easy way out.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371841750506260427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726120322588904573.post-58424646508729539132014-07-18T08:38:20.549-05:002014-07-18T08:38:20.549-05:00I'm not a purist either but I have to admit I&...I'm not a purist either but I have to admit I'm not too keen on the idea of gender-swapping Thor. We've already seen someone besides Steve Rogers don the Captain America outfit when he presumed dead <i>(I swear, I'm not a comic book geek!)</i> so having another guy wearing the outfit is less of a shock.
