Talk:Thor (Marvel Comics)

Possible spelling and grammar errors
Hello, I saw that the nominated this article for GA status. I'm currently experimenting with a script to automatically detect spelling and grammar errors, I hope you don't mind being my guinea pig. Feedback and improvement suggestions are welcome.

Detected possible errors:


 * Sentence: While in the afterlife, Thor once again binds himself to Blake to ressurect himself, and creates a new Asgard floating over Oklahoma, gathering the Asgardians who had been reincarnated as mortals.
 * Correction: replace "ressurect" with "resurrect"
 * Explanation: spelling error

 * Sentence: Though Asgard is destroyed and Loki is killed after coming to Thor's aide, Thor ends the attack and his banishment is commuted.
 * Correction: replace "aide" with "aid"
 * Explanation: incorrect word usage


 * I handled it. David A (talk) 16:15, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Lead image
There has been some discussion over the lead image during the GAN, so let's discuss it elsewhere. When I started it had File:Thor by Olivier Coipel.png, and the problem with it is that it has too many distracting background characters. Before that it had this image, but it has a similar problem, there's a lot of distracting text. Before pointing this I checked for earlier discussions about the lead image, and found Talk:Thor (Marvel Comics)/Archive 3, which is about current look vs. classic look. What I talk about here is rather "collage with Thor in it" vs. "just Thor".

Needless to say, as this turned out to be a bit beyond the mere copyedit stuff, I will remove this item from the GAN. My opinion is just mine, and I will not refuse to approve the article if everything else is fixed but there is consensus to keep the current image or the previous one (or just no consensus on which one to use).

 * For my 2 cents I will only note, as I did in the GAN, that for years we used the image File:Thor-272.jpg which you can see here: if that one is acceptable, it could always be restored and added back to the article. BOZ (talk) 14:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I would personally prefer a very well-drawn "clean positive energy" type of image without lots of distracting cover text being shown, or other characters for that matter, as I think that best represents the character's core concept and personality. I will see if I can find one in the Marvel Comics Wiki. David A (talk) 21:01, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I found an image here that I think works well, as it displays Thor's classic appearance and is rendered without any distracting details. David A (talk) 21:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Is this image acceptable for you? David A (talk) 04:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Here is another link for that image. David A (talk) 04:56, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * What's its source? The big ugly alien  ( talk ) 05:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, it seems to be an image by John Romita Sr. or John Buscema, but I am not sure in which publication it originated. I will try to investigate, and welcome other attempts as well. 🙏 David A (talk) 05:11, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I was told that it is in fact an image by Ron Frenz. David A (talk) 05:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * This seems to be where the image first showed up online. David A (talk) 07:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * So would it be acceptable to use this image, despite only knowing the artist, and not the officially published source, or whether it was a private commission drawing for that matter. David A (talk) 07:37, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
