Can sango be a woman?

Is it because people don't worship Norse mythology anymore?

Captain marvel was actually a man before before it was passed on to a woman. It was done with a better storyline.
I was disappointed that KoiceReloaded could think it makes sense to make Thor a woman. FFS, this is some people's beliefs/religion. How do you just change that? It's like making Zeus a woman. Absolutely preposterous!!

How's Thor a
non-binary name. Thor is described as the GOD of Thunder, not GODDESS of Thunder in the Norse mythology. He is the husband of the golden-haired goddess Sif , is the lover of the jötunn Járnsaxa , and is generally described as fierce eyed, red haired and red bearded man. It's not a gender neutral name. The name has only been associated with male deity, so saying a female can rise up and bear the same name is absurd. It's a name for a god not goddess, so I don't get how it's non-binary. Have you ever read a Norse mythology that lends credence to your postulations?
Haba bro shocked grin

I didn't ask you to raid the internet just to prove my rational assertion wrong. If your warped logic can be applied in real life, then women answering Tochukwu, Kunle, Biodun, Ekene et al are all answering male's name, right? There is something called "evolution". It may be against the norm 20 years ago, but as norm is subjected to change as we have already established, as years go by and field of observation changes with it, the names become non-binary. Bottom line, Thor is now a non-binary name for the same reason she is now a woman: evolution. No long tory here.


Beorn:
You're tying yourself in a tortuous knot of warped logic. Getting hold of mojlnr doesn't immediately make your name Thor. How could you even think this way? It's appalling. I least expected someone like you to think this way. Odin the father of Thor once had the Mojlnr before Thor took over? When Odin was in possession of it was his name, Thor? LMAO. grin grin So Odin was bearing Thor initially and chose the name Odin after Thor took over? When folktales had it that he gave birth to Thor and named him Thor from birth. Do you now see the folly in your assertions?
My my. This is embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you. Were did I specifically mention mojlnr automatically makes one Thor? You're practically plucking fallacious fantasies out of thin air to make yourself sound smart. I said It's not feasible for TWO mojlnr to exist in the same universe and same timeline, or did I not? How did Odin Allfather come into this, abeg?? Mojlnr can only be lifted by someone who is worthy, and since Thor is the successor to Odin, he was worthy. Or are you unable to comprehend a simple grammar??


Beorn:
OK, in Thor Ragnarok, after Thor's sister destroyed Mojlnr, did Thor's name change? It'd have changed since the hammer had been destroyed. Thor's name should have changed temporarily when his father banished him to earth and stripped him of his godly powers. Thor is Thor's name from birth. He's not named Thor because he's in possession of the Mojlnr. You are even contradicting yourself. You agreed they can only be one Thor, so if this lady takes the Mojlnr, Thor will now start bearing Chibuike, abi? huh
Hahahaha. This bruv is frigging confused no be small grin grin
We're talking about Thor comic who is now a woman, this guy is talking about MCU Thor. E bi like say your brain is paining you. grin

Here is an except of what Marvel editor said about the female Thor: “The new Thor continues Marvel’s proud tradition of strong female characters like Captain Marvel, Storm, Black Widow and more. And this new Thor isn’t a temporary female substitute – she’s now the one and only Thor, and she is worthy!”

From the horse's mouth himself, lolz.



Beorn:
Calm down and get my point. You're in a hurry to prove me wrong that you're missing the salient point. I'm all for a new concept, a new plot, even a woman being a Thor while Thor looses possession of the Mojlnr temporarily, but the woman should not be answering Thor. It's foolishnes of the highest echelon. With or without the Mojlnr, Thor remains Thor as already proven in Thor Ragnarok. It's his name.
You've practically lost the script, lolz. I don't even know how to respond to this without debasing myself to your level. grin grin

Just contradicted yourself in 2 sentences.

To answer your question, yes, if it's a comic character. It's basic, really.
1. Thor is his real name. Captain Marvel is not a real name

2. Wonder woman has welded Thor's hammer. She didn't change her name to Thor.

Some people dey make argument for argument sake, smh. I'm still looking for where I said wielding mojlnr automatically makes one Thor. And since when did Wonder woman become an MC character?? I know there are DC/MC crossovers but I haven't seen a character from a completely different universe adopt the identity of a character from another universe, or have you??

Movies I instantly regretted going to the cinema for.

- Jurassic World 2018: Nothing new to see, The villain... okay lemme stop here, don't wanna spoil it for others.
- The 2nd 300 movie: I fell asleep watching this.
- Rampage: It's fine that the The Rock played an Igbo guy, but man, that movie is just bad mehn. Too damn predictable.
- Dawn of Justice: Batman vs Superman: Thought it was gonna be marvelesque or something close, only to see mighty Superman get his ass handed to him by frackin Batman. Mtchew.
- Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Everybody suck in that movie. I really don't know what to expect, but I expected more.
- Transporter Refueled: I won't watch another Transporter movie after this.
- 50 shades of Grey: In my defence, it wasn't my idea, I went with a friend. Never again.
- Murder on the Orient Express: Suffice to say Agatha Christie will be turning in her grave right now.
- Taken 2: Too predictable. Never bothered with the 3rd movie as a result.
- After Earth: Wasn't my idea.
- Ocean 8: Wasn't my idea. Dozed off in the middle. Rihanna is an horrible actor btw.
When Superman was pounding Steppenwolf.
People like you cried that Superman was uneccessarily over powered while Steppenwolf who bossed the entire Justice League was treated like dirt.

Okay....

Rewind back to Dawn of Justice.
When Batman was whipping Superman's ass with Kryptonite.
People like you complained that Superman who is the Alpha and Omega in DC was pathetically under-powered and treated like dirt.

Seriously i'm getting confusedhuh
What kind of Superman do you people wanthuh

NOTE : Superman's weakness is Kryptonite.

Now imagine that Kryptonite in the hands of a master tactician like Batman.

What do you expecthuh

I got no beef with the fact that Batman beat Superman.
Heck...he did it in the comics too!
So you cant berate the movie producer when the comic books has already established that Batman with kryptonite will pound Supes!

It is the one in Justice League that pissed me off.
Superman pounding Steppenwolf so easily.
Wonder Woman and Aquaman couldn't do it, even tho they have super strength, the same ability that Supes employed on Wolf.

BVS fight was understandable and logical as well.
Supes vs Steppenwolf debacle in JL was a no no...

You're so way off point that it left me speechless for few minutes. How do I clarify this for you?

1. Those names you listed are names of humans/mortals, which are usually gender specific but can be used interchangeably by any gender. Joseph is a masculine name which everybody knows. It doesn't change to a feminine name just because a female is answering it. Same applies for Josephine which is a feminine name. No duration of "evolution" will erase the aforstated facts, not even in the next century or millennium.

2. Unlike humans/mortals, the names of deities/gods in religions/mythologies are specific and fixed. You'll never see any female deity named Sango. You'll never read that another female god was also called Amadioha. It's impossible. In short, apart from Amadioha, no other male Igbo deity bears Amadioha. But I can walk in into a school filled with people of my tribe and find both genders answering my name.

Let me expantiate some more. Assuming MC creates a female character called Sango and turns it into a blockbuster movie, so if your grandson in FUTURE comes back home with an assignment in which one of the questions was:

1. Sango is a ____ name?
A. Male B. Female C. Kid D. Non-binary

Would you tell him to tick option D because one Hollywood director produced a female Sango movie? huh Koice, no fall my hand please. I hold you in high esteem. embarassed

My my. This is embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for you. Were did I specifically mention mojlnr automatically makes one Thor? You're practically plucking fallacious fantasies out of thin air to make yourself sound smart. I said It's not feasible for TWO mojlnr to exist in the same universe and same timeline, or did I not? How did Odin Allfather come into this, abeg?? Mojlnr can only be lifted by someone who is worthy, and since Thor is the successor to Odin, he was worthy. Or are you unable to comprehend a simple grammar??
Once again, you're missing the point. According the story dropped, Thor became unworthy of the Mojlnr and a female took possession of it and she became the new Thor. My argument is not about the "Mojlnr" that she will take, but the fact that she will now bear the name, Thor. I then told you with or without the hammer, Thor is a name given to him from birth and as such will be stupid for the producer to call a woman Thor who already had a name. Will SHE also be addressed as a GOD of thunder even as a FEMALE? Remember a female deity is addressed as a GODDESS. You see as you dey confuse yourself? grin grin I no know between you and the MC editor who dey confused pass. grin

This is a classic case of grasping at straws, brother mi. All I see you doing up there is using semantics to wriggle your way out of the embrassing trap you've set for yourself.

Superhumanist never specified it's Thor comic or MCU Thor. I even asked him for avoidance of doubt, if there's been a female Thor in the comics in time past in order not to blame the producers or shoot myself on the foot, and he said no.

Be that as it may, whether MC Thor or MCU Thor, what difference does it really make?

- Does the Thor in the comics have two heads while that of MCU has one head?
- Does the Thor of the comics use pangolo to fight and strike while that of MCU uses Mojlnr?
- Was it not the Thor in the comics that was brought to life in the movies? Or that Thor is different?
- Where exactly do you think MCU gets their characters and storyline from if not from the comics?
- So if the female Thor gets created at the comic level, can you bet with your balls that it will never make it to MCU? Or the MCU male Thor won't be killed off or relegated to a nobody to coincide with the comics?

So, from your reasoning, the Thor in the comic will now be a female and will never be made into a movie while the MCU Thor will remain permanently as a male? Forever? LMFAO. grin grin You sound like the author of confusion right now.
