I have the entire Thunderstrike run love Eric Masterson and also his entire story arc as The new Thor , thank you for showcasing his adventures.

@jermason8594 2 года назад

I do too .. every time i see thor 391 i get it i got like 20 of them 🤦‍♂️

@8arrows 2 года назад

I thought it was a cool run too. Because I was a Indian brave balancing on I-beams in the 90s

It was grave injustice when they killed him off.

@powerbad696 2 года назад

I loved Thunderstrike too.Still have a few issues in my storage unit.

@thecat5872 2 года назад

Yeah guys he was a great character with a true marvel space adventure just a great creation EM with a helluva story arc and a lotta cameos in other comics let’s hope somehow he finds his way into the MCU , hoping?

@shockingstuff 2 года назад

Thanks for this. Eric's Thor was my first introduction to the Marvel Universe. It started with the Zarrko/Thor Corps arc. I really enjoyed Eric's struggle of an average man having the powers of a God thrust upon him. I enjoyed his Thunderstrike run, and he continues to hold a special place in me.

Really enjoyed watching the store of Thunderstrike. I can remember reading those comics back in the days. As a suggestion for another story I would recommend the New Warriors

I will always love Thunderstrike, even though people like to hate on him.

@lukemcgregor6969 2 года назад

I totaly hated it when they replaced Thor with Eric Masterson in the 90s. But by the end of that run, I was sad to see him go. The character really grew on me. So much humanity mixed in with the cosmic god stuff. Sif sleeping with Mephisto to help find Thor was gross, but I suppose that's why Sif never brings up Jane or Amora.

@Ixapter 2 года назад

What was up with Loki and Amora the Enchantress messing with Eric Masterson_AKA_Thunderstrike? Can you do history of Amora the Enchantress, Stellaris, Mongoose and Bloodaxe?

What was up with Bloodaxe being someone Eric Masterson cared about since those two were like nemesis to each other? What was up with Eric Masterson_AKA_Thunderstrike choosing a human afterlife over Valhalla?

@summonersumnerus4364 2 года назад

One of my fave characters, but the last guy who wrote him portrayed him as a total screw up who couldn't do anything right and then killed him. Not cool, dude, not cool.

@leyenda6149 2 года назад

I didn't see him so much as a screw-up per se, I saw him as a normal nearly-middle aged man who's civilian problems as a divorced dad where a lot to deal with. Add to that being given phenomenal physical & otherworldly powers most of us would not do very well. AND before he was Thunderstrike he had to try to keep up the charade of him being the actual Thor. In that way, he reminded me of an old show called "Greatest American Hero". He did the best he could having no history of training. I live how "human" his struggle was in a way that wasn't overly on-the-nose. That's why he's my favorite hero.

@andyrandall9289 2 года назад

I thought Thunderstrike was a great comic. I collected all the comics, and was in shock when the comicbook was canceled. He had so much potential.

@christopherulichney 2 года назад

It is hard to believe that a character who dominated the Thor comic for most of a decade has been allowed to stay dead for so long. I remember loving how it was written that Eric would look for ways out of a situation that didn't in love bashing in the bad guy's head. This just makes me want a RED NORVELL (the red headed Thor stand in ) video. We have seen Jane Foster and Eric Masterson, we need Red Norvell to complete the humans who had the power or Thor trilogy. There is still time to vote for Red Norvell n this month's Patreon poll. So get over to Patreon, pledge as little as $1 a month, and help Red Norvell get his own video.

@kevinkingslayer2450 2 года назад

I really liked the idea of Eric as Thor when I was a kid.... It was a fresh take on the character and it reinvigorated interest in the Thor mythos..... Great video, we need one on Forge or Polaris now....

@samwill7259 2 года назад

This is slightly off topic, but as a child who has gone through several difficult divorces and the custody battles therein. There should be a rule that if you give up or are declared unfit for parental rights, for any reason, for any amount of time, then you no longer hold any automatic claim what so ever to getting them back. There should be ways that you should be GRANTED those rights back, if the current guardian gives blessing, but coming out of the woodwork after vanishing for most of your kid's life should be met with an automatic "no. screw off." in a court of law.

@thedowntownmovielounge Год назад

This is very much on topic. I went through the same things as a kid as I was reading this comic. I got a little PTSD watching this video.

@Frank-Voight-Kampff 2 года назад

Thank you so much. I always had a soft spot for Thunderstrike/Eric Masterson. So really, much appreciated! What about Captain Universe? That should be an interesting character... concept... cosmic power... whatever. 😇

The Absorbing Man used to call Eric ( Thor ) Masterson Sparky the lightning kid.

I think a new story about hero THUNDERSTRIKE, should get made, and then have the hero shown in a few of the new cartoon shows.

@2:25 dude if those steel beems landed on a mans leg like that from that high up, them shits would vaporize his leg… not just break it. Makes me wonder how good the steelwork really is in this version of new york. Maybe they should up the standards and maybe then all the alien invasions and superhero battles wouldnt be toppling soo many buildings. LoL

@quentinfogger5755 2 года назад

Unlike Jane Foster, What was up with Eric Masterson being worthy of Mjolnir if he was fused with Thor? How powerful is Eric Masterson_AKA_Thunderstrike by being fused to the God of Thunder compared to Jane Foster Thor and Beta-Ray-Bill?

I also think it might be good if ThunderStrike, could appear in one of the M.C.U. Multiverse movies, and hopefully later have his own show series.

@Lazrael32 Год назад

I always like thunderstrike because he was such an everyman with a good heart and the power of a god. the blood axe mystery was fun to follow at the time too. It's unfortunate he was thrown out by marvel the way he was and got in some ways the worst treatment of all the spin off characters of the time period. (US Agent, Scarlet Spider, Warmachine... ect.)

@justinclark397 4 месяца назад

@@johnlawful2272 I thought that was a nice little callback to the character actually. For me personally though, I thought a better idea for the Thunderbolts movie would be to have each member be like a more violent version of an original Avenger. So, Thunderstrike could be a government made stand in for Thor. Because I don't know why but I'm just not really a big fan of the team they're using for the movie.
