Namor is cool, but Odin's staff is way too big for him. Hasbro can't be seriously that lazy.

Disco StuStark doesn't need your approval.

As for reusing the staff, while I can agree that it's a bit 'lazy,' it also makes business sense. Namor is a retailer-exclusive figure, which will already see less return than a mass-retail released figure. The figure itself sports a pretty primo paint job, and quite a bit of new tooling for an exclusive (head, forearms/gauntlets, belt, and the ankle-wings). It make sense that, assuming the budget allotment for this figure, that they'd rather spend more on making the figure himself accurate and including a rehashed accessory than making a new trident at the expense of one of the more Namor-y body parts.

Besides, you don't have to display him with the trident - I know I probably won't. Hell, I can't even remember the last time I saw Namor with a trident in the comics.
