In the comics, quite a few different characters get to be Thor for a while, Jane among them. From the fans I’ve talked to, the problem they had with her was that the whole thing was presented to feel like a temporary thing which ended with a return to the status quo.

Overall, that’s the general complaint about comics. They tend to do lots of cool stories for a while, but some writer comes along who preferred the status quo from years back so stuff gets reset with some helter-skelter retroactive continuity.

I find it most interesting when the comics don’t return to the status quo. That’s most frequent outside of shared universe comics- when you only have one writer working on a book for a long time, they tend to evolve it well past its premise.
