Immortal Thor #8: Thor vs Gaea 

I loved the moment gaea said " i did give them a chance, i gave them you thor" Such a cool moment

so Thor's great grandfather Buri (TIWAZ) is also an elder god??

If there is a bull god with utgard Loki, maybe it’s the Minotaur himself, or connected to the Minotaur

Thanks my asgardian friend for the mention, I appreciate Gracias mi amigo asgardiano por la mención, lo aprecio mucho

Atum..... bares much similarity to what we called The Enigma Force and one aspect of The Enigma Force is The Uni Power the energy that transforms people into Captain Universe so YEAH I can see why Gaia would not want Thor to face something on such an incomprehensible scale of power.

Man so this confirms buri is also an elder god

Toranos didn't kill the dinosaurs in Marvel!! They all got Killed by Atum because they'd fallen under the thrall of Set!

Wow has Gaea ever looked like that before in comics? In the game Lords of the Fallen (the 2023 one) there’s an npc called Sparky who is essentially an elder god and his look is eerily similar to Gaea in this issue.

At least this issue erases that ridiculous retcon by Jason Aaron,which made the Phoenix force as Thor’s mother. The art is splendid,but Ewing is too slow to develop his story.

That was hilarious and unexpected 16:53

I am The NashVillain. The AllFather ODIN is the best mythological deity & GUNGNIR is the best weapon via any mythos. I hate what Marvel has allowed be done unto ODIN over the last nigh 2 decades

Always look foward to these

Wow this was a epic overview of that book and I don't even read the comics but I love Marvel Thor!🤩🤩🤩

TIWAZ IS AN ELDER GOD! BURI IS AN ELDER GOD!

I was reading this and twirling the mustache like *Aye Gaia got a point* 😅

Who else want thor vs atum ?

There was a news that Thor 5 has got a release date at marvel studios.is that true?

Gonna be awesome when Thor and his grandpa are standing side by side against some evil bastards.

They really need to bring Buri back from Oblivion to humble them all with his wisdom. *edit* They are bringing Buri back.

10:33 this is good. Of course, lightning is the very essence of the sun if we consider the electric universe theory. I hope comic book writers just for interesting comic book logic incorporate that more comic writers and editors, can learn a lot from RU-vidrs.

You do a marvelous job on this channel!

Wasn’t Atum a member of Hercules team in The Incredible Hercules series?…along side Amedeus Cho Aztec Mikaboshi(Chaos King in disguise)and of course Hercules himself . If it is him, he got all ate up by Mikaboshi 😅 forgot what issue it is though.

Is Gaia cruel or are we cruel for living off of her while destroying her? I think your perspective is incredibly off. Cruel is benefiting off of another while harming them… not that person defending themselves. The audacity it takes to ignore the dynamic present by considering Gaia as the villain as you breathe clean air and drink clean water that she provides. It’s very egocentric…

Amazing video! I can’t wait to see thor confronting other elder gods

Awesome issue made better by your recital. Who's stronger If anyone knows Gaea or Odin?? Also any explanation as to why Thor shows no physical traits from Gaea?? Thanks as always for the vids.

i dont think comics have to be similar to our world, it propably would be for the best to give the civilians more and more advanced tech over time like we see in other series

Gracias por recomendar el canal

Thor being Gaea’s mercy to me sort of mirrors the hulk being TOAA’s rage. Thor’s role is sort of approaching that Superman role of the embodiment of Hope.

I don't think he's pronouncing the names correctly. He's applying foreign vowel sounds to the English that was used to represent foreign names. So you should pronounce them as an English speaker would, not how a foreigner would. "Horoos" and "Atoom" is irritating as hell to have to hear over and over again.

I really like this run but I do hate how the constant 'but wait, there is an even MORE powerful being' thing has undercut prior stories. Where were all these elder gods before? We used to have definitive lists of how many there were, their relationships to each other... now you might as well say Thor is Loki's father by Hel. Maybe it was always this bad but lately it just seems they have completely given up writing inside the lines of a given character. I do like the art quite a bit. Swampy Gaea is fun.

Nergal has already been in the comics in Marvel universe in Doc Strange and Conan.

Not liking all these retcons of the Elder Gods and pantheons one bit. Ewing decided to introduce a previously "unseen" Elder God based on the Celtic thundergod- seemingly unaware that it had been done already. If Marvel had editors that could do their job this wouldn't be happening.

I like how Ewing usually opens these with quotes from old classic poets.

Gaia Nolan kenjaku and uxas would be great friends frl

Nice, really enjoyed this episode!

Wasn’t Gaea supposed to have a part in that Empyre storyline from a few years ago ? She was captured or something (I believe .). Isn’t Atum supposed to be dead, too?

Another Loki? Weird

Amazing as always. 🔥🔥🔥

That T. Swift comment got me rolling lol

among us god boutta go hard

Yo bro, good to see you back and uploading Thor content. Since you were out for some time, thought some unfortunate event might have fallen to you but glad that doesn't seem the case anymore. Anyhow, keep it up bro 👍

Thanks for the great review and sharing your thoughts about the issue and portrayal of Gaea being jarring. Recently they took Odin who was always wise and very loving, and made him into a terrible guy in general, and abusive husband and terrible father. Now it feels like the "divine feminine" is under attack, physically and emotionally and spiritually/energetically. I like how Gaea said Thor is her mercy, but the way it was done felt in a negative way, like you're a failure at this or too bad type of attitude, instead of presenting this cool factor in an optimistic or bright manner.

I am your child, response: i have many children 😂😂😂

Speaking of, whatever happened to Set anyway?

Nice job 🙏🙏🙏🙏

"Tiwaz was there when earth was formed"!! What?? They'venot already destroyed Avengers and X-men continuity with Avengers BC and Krakoa- now 60 years of Thor continuity is unconnected gibberish too.

Thank you for the video and your thoughtful analysis. I miss Coccolo’s art, but the new artist is great too. Unfortunately, I disagree on the plot and feel this issue is the worst so far. The biggest reason why is Al Ewing’s choice for Gaea’s motives and actions feels painfully cliche, but worse it makes her look stupid and excessively heartless. See, if Gaea wants Humanity to change its ways, or at least go green, she picked the absolute worst way to do it. How can Humanity change their ways if they’re being destroyed by Godzilla-sized elder gods like Toranos rampaging and massacring people by the hundreds of thousands, or causing other world-ending catastrophes? Not to mention, the Utgard gods could turn on her. Don’t tell me Utgard-Loki doesn’t have something cooked up just for her as payback. But on top of that, why would she think this plan would work? She’s more than aware that humanity endures countless world-ending threats from super-villains, demons, killer AI, aliens, other elder gods, etc. and yet humans pretty much always stay the same afterward. So, why would she think another batch of evil elder gods would do the trick? She wouldn’t. If Gaea really wanted humanity to go green, she would’ve come up with something much better and certainly less genocidal. I just feel this was a cheap move by Al Ewing to artificially set up his next big story event with Thor and The Minotaur. Sorry for the long rant, but I was really looking forward to this issue and was greatly disappointed. Al Ewing could’ve done MUCH BETTER than this. Hopefully the next few issues make up for this one.

6:20-6:40- OUCH!

Dude, bent the knee 😂

16:53-🤭

Odin controls the worthiness enchantment not thor. Otherwise then only A God sbove the enchantment could control it.

Another great issue, and another great look at it! Small nitpick, sorta I would say Thor can win against the Earth itself, but not Gaea, if we nake the split between the planet and the goddess (hence sorta nitpick, cause I don't think you meant this way). Marvel usually doesn't lionize and dissect Thor's powers as much as the competition does to their heroes, but there is plenty to believe Thor could explode the planet if he really wanted. So technically, he could win against the Earth itself.
