@rorie: Oh! Uh... In the Thor movies, he has that female friend that fights with him alot. She's awesome in those movies, so she'd be my top pick, plus she's already in the movies so it'd be an easy transition. I'm blanking on her name though.
Oh boy. Alot of people are responding to me cus i just said temporarily changing Thors gender might be stupid. The idea reminds me of those awful generic sci-fi episode tropes where people switch bodies for an episode or something.
A new lady character taking over for Thor awhile seems like a cool idea, though her using his name seems a bit weird to me.
@hailinel: Well sure, anythings possible i suppose, but it's comic books i wouldn't have high hopes for that is all. Just seems like a slippery slope, but thats not the case apparently. We got some new lady taking Thors hammer and powers, then calling herself Thor? Isn't that just his name? Wasn't he named Thor before he got the hammer? I dunno! i don't follow comics that closely.
Wait, im confused, is Thor being transformed into a woman? Or is some random lady picking up Thors hammer and acting in his place for awhile?
A female character is taking up the hammer and title of Thor. Thor Odinson (male Thor) continues to exist, he just won't be worthy enough to wield the hammer, hence the new Thor. OP incorrectly summarized the situation.
Ohhhh, ok that sounds perfectly fine and could even end up being awesome. If it was thor himself turning into a woman via magic, science, alternate realities, whatever that'd be really really dumb.
Why would that be dumb?
Because he's an established character with an established personality, so if it was by his choice it'd be really poor writing and out of character. If it was some wacky hijinks caused by a bad guy or an accident then they'd just be silly and stupid. So its either bad writing or being forced into becoming a woman, which is just in bad taste and comes off as kinda silly.

I'm not really against it, not really for it either.
I understand why they dont really do it anymore, since it'd get tons of negative press, especially with how overly sensitive games journalists are these days. Plus it wouldnt really add much to the game since most people would avoid killing the kids.
I wont lie though, in Skyrim, in Whiterun those little kids that run up to you can say stupid annoying crap, yeah i'd love to be able to smack em.
