    @hollow_point: Nope but apparently they said they will reveal it and only Aaron and Breevort know what it was apparently anyway. They probably don't know and are currently trying to think of some BS to fit in that bubble.

    Maybe he was unworthy simply because they needed him to be unworthy for the Lady Thor stuff to sell.

    I'm 99% sure whatever they say the whisper was will be total bs and completely illogical as most of Aarons writing is these days.

    I was just about to say the same thing. You would think such a major player as Thor would get better treatment, especially with Ragnarok coming down the road.

    You know if a character is influenced by a line spoken to him, he should logically know it, so logically it should be revealed to the readers or build towards a reveal to the readers rather quickly. Not doing this feels like acknowledging that it just happened for plots sake and throws out any feeling of natural development.

    Definitely... And the worse part is that marvel says that only Jason Aaron the writer, and his editor Tom Brevoort know the Whisper content, but the question is how did Jonathan Hickman made Thor worthy again in time runs out? (New Avengers issue #32)...

    At least Marvel could sound more professional...

    @asgaard: That was a cool scene and Hickman seems to at least let characters die with the necessary respect, but it never made much sense for Thor to become worthy again for trying to save something at the cost of his own life, because thats what Thor has always done.

    Definitely hit the mark with both comments. I've been saying it for quite some time that they probably never had any real idea how to convincingly make Thor unworthy, came up with the whisper contrivance and have been riding it out as a "secret" until they either pull something out of their a55e5 or enough readers give up, don't care or forget about the issue so they don't even have to make the effort.

    This came to mind just now while at work! so I googled "how did thor become unworthy"


    I figured it would be answered by now and I missed it, but nope .

    If he was unworthy he would've been unworthy before the whisper, like just knowing something couldn't make him unworthy it would most likely have been something he did or something that happened, so why would knowing it at that point make him unworthy surely he would have been unworthy at the time of the thing that made him unworthy happened because Mjolnir should recognise it, because it isn't Thor that decides and just knowing something happened doesn't change anything. Unless it was a thought he had after the whisper I don't see how it makes any sense, and I doubt Aaron has thought further into it than 'oh we may aswell make Thor unworthy would be a cool PR stunt'. If they knew what made him unworthy we would've had an answer by now waiting two years for the answer isn't suspense it's just Aaron not having a clue what could make him unworthy.

    Well if he if could be unworthy with a whisper then hell Odin could just erase his memory and poof worthy again, however somebody else would come up and say hey remember those cookies you took from my window when you were 4 thousand and ten and bam unworthy again.

    Actually, even Odin apparently couldn't lift it?

    All too well, even though that series wasn't that crash hot, imo. But how contradictory does that make Marvel?!

    Maybe Fury was talking to Mjolnir not Thor.. It makes more sense that Fury said something that made Odin and his line unworthy than to just remind Thor of an old secret that causes him embarrassment. Perhaps it wasn't even English but some enchanted forbidden words. Some sin of Odin.

    I still think the only plausible/acceptable reason is that somehow, at some point, Thor had trapped Donald Blake's soul/persona in Mjolnir (effectively "enslaving" him) and the reveal was that Thor "knew" this but had managed to be in denial about it until Nick Fury's reveal forced him to finally accept that's what he had done. This would also go a long way to explaining why Jane Foster could wield it, Mjolnir's personality, and why Odin lost his "control" of it.

    He said that he was man, that's why he's unworthy. Feminists will destroy everything so that they can make it all just as retarded as them

    Wow, you guys sure do complain a lot.

    So I got the picture, zoomed in, and filled in some of the more obvious lettering gaps. It's far from perfect, but it's a start.

    Not to my knowledge? Sad, really. I feel for him. A sigil for his return.
