Yeah, but nobody cares about the original Green Lantern. Thor on the other hand, is still pretty relevant.
That's my point, that if DC really gave a shit about the LGBT community, they'd make a far more relevant character gay.

Marvel does take a lot more risk than DC. The riskiest thing DC has done recently was making Clark Kent go rouge and have a new Superman that's black. But that doesn't really count since it takes place in an alternative universe I think. Where as something like Thor becoming a woman takes place in the mainstream universe.

What is Green Lantern now? I heard he was gay then Arab.
That's different. There are many different types of Green Lanterns protecting the galaxy. The Green Lantern you're probably thinking about is the original Green Lantern, who is now in fact gay. But it's not the same Green Lantern as Hal Gordon, John Stewart (the black guy, not the Jew), or Simon Baz.
That was bullshit too. DC wanted to show support towards the gay community so they made the FIRST Green Lantern gay. Does anyone even care about that dude? He's weak against wood . . . huh, I guess it DOES make sense that he's gay, lol.
Alan Scott has a huge fanbase with comic fans and the change was in the comics , it's just the movie/tv people like you and mecha who dont care.

Thor looked like a girl to me anyway. Even in the comics, Spider-Man calls him Goldilocks. Besides, making Thor into a woman is not as bad as making Iron Patriot and Nick Fury black in the comics. Marvel is letting their influence on the films affect the comics. Which is what I told some Michigan kid about a few days ago.

If i was a women I think I'd be dissapointed. It's not like they made a new strong female character, they just gave an already established male character a sex change.

@Stigma Not really. Thor is still there. He just loses the hammer (Is unworthy of it) and the hammer chose someone more worthy to wield it.

Which is absolute bullshit in the context of the current comic run, Thor has never been worthier to wield it as he has been in the past 2 years

The whole turning Thor into a woman doesn't make sense at all in the current context in the comics, I could understand if they did it when Thor is acting unworthy and she could use the hammer, but she wouldn't actually become fucking Thor.Beta Ray Bill for example, picks up Thor's hammer and could use it, but he's still Beta Ray Bill and not Thor.
You are only defending this because it's a retarded change in the name of diversity even though it makes no sense and is a ridiculous idea
