Marvel Comics made an earth-shattering announcement, and they made it on “The View.” What’s up with that? Most Craved looks into the unusual marketing stunt and the pros and (comic) cons of the announcement itself: that there’s a new Thor in town, and that she’s a woman now. Is a female Thor just a gimmick? Is changing the gender of an existing superhero more progressive or less progressive than creating an all-new one? And will this new female Thor last a little bit longer than the “Superior” Spider-Man did?
