We all know that male Thor will be back within a year. Can you really establish a strong female character this way? If she's just going to be written off in a year then what's the point? Maybe they could have used this opportunity to promote strong existing female characters within Marvel like Storm, Ms Marvel, Black Widow etc.
I don't know. Again, I am cool with this change but I can't help but think it's all just a marketing gimmick rather than Marvel genuinely wanting to create a strong female character.
