The first time he lost it, he was being an asshat and Odin took it
second time Thor killed Loki and Odin took it again.

Aside from the naming weirdness, Thor actually still exists and apparently will have a book called the Unworthy Thor
Looks awesome.
This pretty much sums up comics these days overall by the big two.
It's all about the short gains.
Yeah comics are like the weather, don't like it? Wait a little while.

Yeah, what do you call a male Thor without his hammer?
I'd be perfectly cool with it if that never happened, but still calling her Thor is daft.
When Dick was running around in the bat suit he was Batman, but we didn't start calling him Bruce. Calling her Thor is just a lame marketing move.

I want Thor and Lady Thor to have a legal battle over the name, with She Hulk vs Matt Murdock as their lawyers
Eh, Thor is always Thor, but if someone else wields the hammer they are granted the power of Thor/become Thor. It probably all started back when Marvel gave Thor a human alter-ego, Donald Blake. Since then lots of people have been Thor or a Thor-like entity (Thunderstrike, Beta Ray Bill, etc.).
So basically Thor will be on a mission to regain his worthiness, and he will still be Thor, but so will someone else. When Thor-Thor comes back Other-Thor will probably be given her own special hammer and a new name, assuming she was popular (like Beta Ray Bill). There was even a "Thor Corps" for a while because there are so many Thors running around.
Without that it would be a bit hard to see the difference to the Male Thor
Should call it "The God Formerly Known as Thor". This actually makes it even more cash-grabish because now Thor fans have to buy a second book to follow the original character.

Any word on new52 dying?
It's not that hard to understand. Thor loses the right to wield the hammer, some lucky young woman gets it and becomes Nu-Thor.
Let it go, man. lol

Is the name Thor retconned to being a title now? Other people have had the hammer and they weren't called Thor.
It'll happen though it may be another twenty years.
I hope they call it The superior Thor
The subject title is inexplicably wrong considering the second paragraph addresses it:
Apparently yes, which makes me want to know what to call the other Thor.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Bleh. More Marvel NOW!!! gimmicks.
First step wrong my boy Aaron's made. Way too much of a pandering move to the current tumblrsphere, and without even creating a new character to do it. Just quickly jamming a female into one of the "big three Avenger" roles. Would make more sense to have a female Captain America since Thor is actually his fucking name, not a "title".

In that case old Thor should get a spiffy single rune as his new name.

The link in the OP is to the mobile version, so that is probably what you are seeing.

Sounds like rule 63 fanfic becomes canon.
In the future.
You mean Wasp, but Yellowjacket was a female too.
Thats not at all similar to this. Yellowjacket is an alias.

Correct. Thor has innate powers unrelated to the hammer. The hammer makes him much more formidable, but his status as "god of thunder" which allows him to summon storms and control weather, generate raw "godforce" from his body, and his massive strength all predate his being able to pick up mjolnir. His mother is also an elder god, more powerful than Odin and Thor has some Ill defined earth based powers related to that.
There's also the issue that Jarnbjorn while not mjolnir is still DISGUSTINGLY powerful, and Thor just killed exitar (!!!) With it in uncanny Avengers. Mjolnir as impressive as it is can't get away with that one.

What if it's Squirrel Girl that becomes the new Thor?
Also, does this retcon old man Thor who wields the Thorforce in the future?
