Angela last issue had a real twist, that no one could predict, i never could guess that Sera was... Just because you read Angela last issue, i will try not be so harsh on my post, and don't be offended by the Thordis name, in my perceptive fits the new character,
I'm not offended... I just think it's silly. Oh, but please explain why it "fits the new character?" What is your reasoning for calling her Thordis instead of Thor? But hey... Since we're calling folks things they were called in alternate earths, I guess I'll just go the earth 9047 route and call Odin Shmoden and Odinson Sore.
Note: I put the rest of the quotes under spoiler blocks to save space.
He probably did see Mjolnir flying away... but did he actively choose to spy on the thrower? As I said, she wasn't a threat, so why spy on her? He doesn't see everything within Asgardia at once. He can see anything in Asgardia or anywhere else if he wants to, but he has to focus on it.
And it doesn't matter if Sera ever entered Asgardia. She was Malekith. An actual threat to Asgardia. Someone Heimdall should be keeping tabs on, and someone he was keeping tabs on in the Thor books. No matter where Malekith was, Heimdall would be able to see him when he chose. And had much much much more reason to keep an eye on Malekith than Thor. Yet, you demand he must have seen Thor's transformation, but don't imagine he ever said... "Hmmm I wonder what Malekith is doing... I should look. Huh? Why do I keep seeing this random angel lady whenever I look for Malekith? And why is she hanging out with Shmoden's daughter. Maaaaybe this could be important!" Nope.
He probably did see her leaving and entering Asgardia. But that doesn't mean he ever watched her transformation. In order to know who Thor was he would have to A) actively watch her transform, or B)presumably try to look for Jane or Thor and see the other. The most you could say is he almost definitely knew she spent a lot of time in Asgardia. And he knew she wasn't a threat so security wasn't compromized. So no reason to report to Shmodin
Except at least Aaron took Heimdall's sight into consideration with regard to the identity of the transforming person. Heimdall was a much more active player in Angela, and the author never considered Malekith is on "Asgardia's most wanted" list.
The very first introduction of Sore has him wielding the hammer without ever showing "why he was worthy." But as the story goes, you see the type of person he is. You're basically suggesting the entire Thor saga is poisoned because they didn't do that with the original Thor either. Actually, Jane has a much larger history than Sore had within the comics before he wielded Mjolnir. In the time she actively had power, she used it to join Sore on adventures, fighting trolls and saving Sore's life even. She also helped out in Marvel's Civil War as a Doctor.
Heck, Sore's first use of Mjolnir in the comics was an act of self defense, not even knowing what the stick he grabbed was for. At least Jane knew she was using the hammer to go into battle to help other people and not just herself. That seems much more impressive.
I see... You've completely ignored Eric Masterson. I know you don't like him, but your taste doesn't decide canon. You can't pick and choose which parts of history apply. But anyway, D'argo, Beta Ray Bill, and Eric all transformed when they wielded the power of Thor. If I remember right, even Loki got a nice change in armor. So, her transforming is hardly new or needs justification.
And you can say she wasn't characterized over and over and over, but she really was. Both internally and externally. I've pointed out examples in the past. I honestly think you're blinded by the flowery Asgardian font and ignore the words that she has actually said.
As for the mystery, well lots of people were still convinced it was Roz until the reveal, so take it up with them, and as I said above:
"for me the main draw was how the characters reacted to the mystery. So you had Sore using it as a distraction to take his mind off his own current suckitude, Freyja using her as an inspiration and a masthead for her conflicts against Shmodin, and Shmodin pissed that his hammer enchantment has "grown beyond him" and using Thor as the focal point for his dissatisfaction regarding the obedience that seems to be lacking."
And the story isn't over. Do you always need information right away instantly, or do you accept that stories provide mysteries and explanations over time?
