After this last clash...Is Iron Man finished?

If Thor is royalty, he shouldnt have to register should he? Same with Namor....
 
They'd have to recognize Asgard as a foreign kingdom first, which brings us right back to the fact that it's floating in US airspace.

I have to agree with photojones. It is hard to see Odin as just a secondary advisor. If he comes back I see Thor relinquishing poer back to him :(.

I'm sure Thor would, but I doubt he'd want the power back. Odin's whole purpose in creating Thor with Gaea was to create a being of both the divine and mortal realms whose power and (one day) wisdom would supercede even Odin's. Now that Thor's achieved all that and broken the gods free of Those Who Sit Above in Shadow's control, why would Odin want him to regress? He's never been power-hungry or anything; he's done what's best for Asgard. The only way I could see it working if Odin returned and became king again is if Thor basically said "screw Asgard, I intend to spend most of my time on Earth, so watch the kingdom while I'm gone, One-Eye." That wouldn't be very good, either.

What's with your views on Thor basically giving Odin the finger every chance he gets? In a good portion of these posts, you seem to have the idea that Thor has this great disrespect for Odin. :confused:
 
I never meant to imply that. I make everyone snarky when I imagine dialog. Thor obviously still respects Odin a great deal, which is why I said he'd offer the Odinforce and leadership of Asgard back to Odin in a heartbeat. Regardless of how I wrote the dialog, though, the point still stands: anytime Thor has an ongoing series, he tends to spend the bulk of his time on Earth, interacting with the rest of the Marvel universe, so the only way I see Odin actually agreeing to reclaim leadership after he bred and raised Thor specifically to succeed and supercede him is if Thor made it clear that he intends to do so again.

Frankly, my ultimate preference is that Odin just remain dead, as I mentioned earlier. Thor as a character has outgrown the need for him. That's what "Ragnarok" was all about, after all.

Gotcha. :up:
 
Odin didn't always rule Asgard, he 'took' the title from Tiwaz way back in the day(probably the previous Odin). So it ain't like it's absolute or anything. Sure Thor would defer to his wisdom but that's how it works in kingdoms! Otherwise why bother with heirs? Just to fill the castle with people? It would take their father/son dynamic in a new direction we haven't seen before, as true equals.

Speaking of Iron Man, is there a recent or upcoming issue that deals with the discovery of the sudden appearance of Asgard? Tony mentions it in the preview so obviously the us. government has been monitoring events in Oky loma.
 
Indeed. Too bad no one in Superman has beards.
 
He'll do great linework, and it'll get colored by some hack. Just like Pacheco and Churchill.

I would say then I would prefer he stays gone. I do not think there is room for him in the new Asgard.
