Everything Jason Aaron said in that interview describes how crappy his writing is right now. He's changing stuff for the sake of changing things up. There's no heart or love for Thor behind this story. He can't honestly say he's not part of the feminist cabal with this series, after what happened with Titania. There's a big difference between writing an unworthy Thor story and what he's doing now. He's making another person out to be the actual Thor, hasn't actually given us a reason thor is unworthy, and has dismantled longstanding thor establishments, like Odins control of the hammer, Thor's connection to the hammer with his life force in it, continuing this All-Mother thing, writing Odin as a villain, etc... Aaron says that he gave Jane new powers with the hammer to make things different, but that doesn't explain Thor saying that she is the person who wielded the hammer best, and giving up his name.
I'm not happy he says he plans on staying with thor for a long time, after destroying him so much in just 8 issues. Unless Thor is alive again when this series picks back up and we start to get some answers (the whisper and the enchantment being screwy all of a sudden), I will not be touching this book again. Its good that marvel admits how they just write gimmicks and don't care about characters anymore.
