Thor's costume

[kedrell]

The costume designers already confimed the cape. To me that means no Ultimate look.

[Chewy]

Well we know he has a red cape, so it won't be the Ultimate "suit" :yay:

[Bad Superman]

Coipel's FTW.

[RogueDK]

Coipel's FTW.
Cheers. :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, we know that the costume has a cape. That's not the same as the costume definitely not being the Ultimate version. I'm sure I'll be worried about Ultimate influence right up until I see a pic of the costume. :csad:

[Bad Superman]

Cheers. :awesome:

Cheers :cmad::up: :up:

[afan]

I'll take any kind of photos of the costume or the hammer. I really want to see what they've come up with for those.

Not sure why you desire it but here ya go.........

Yeah, for all we know, the cape could be part of Thor's costume only when he's in Asgard. He could switch to a more modern (ie Ultimate) version when in Earth. So, the "Ultimate Costume" menace still stands.

I don't hate it, but Coipel's version is far superior. And the Ages of Thunder costume is much cooler.

Good one :woot:

[marvel_freshman]

I would be very happy with this up in Asgard

[marcvader]

That is somewhat what i'd like.^^^

[Canis Sapiens]

That's a very good version, too.

[kedrell]

I love that one. :up:

[afan]

Very very nice..........I dare say this would be accepted by all.
..minor adjustment would be to give it an open collar.
Hammer a bit too big.

[kedrell]

I agree about the hammer(that one looks almost like the ceremonial version, if there is such a thing), but I like the collar as it is there.

[TheCorpulent1]

Not a fan of the Ultimate Alliance 2 costume, myself. It looks too Roman to me.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

but still a thousand times better than the ultimate design!!!!!!!

[afan]

Not a fan of the Ultimate Alliance 2 costume, myself. It looks too Roman to me.

Hmmmm....... how so?
'cause for me it is a slightly altered classic Thor design.

[SpiderByte]

Maybe a new helmet, but i like the chest and everything else.

[kedrell]

@Corp-

I'm guessing it's the overlapping scale like armor pieces you don't like, huh?

[TheCorpulent1]

@Corp-

I'm guessing it's the overlapping scale like armor pieces you don't like, huh?
Yep, that's it. It clearly is an altered take on Thor's classic costume, but the alterations are Roman-inspired to me. Or at least, that's what I think of when I see overlapping leatherish armor like that. Whatever it is, it certainly doesn't look like there's much Norse influence on it. And yeah, I know the Coipel costume doesn't have much Norse influence either, but it looks like it has a broader medieval fantasy bent to me than any specific cultural influence.

I don't know, I overthink designs a lot. :o

[antmanx68]

I like the above pic a lot except the helmet, I think it would need to have some sort of part that comes down around the sides of his face.

[Webhead2006]

i am sure they will have classic/616 hammer for the movie. And i am sure they will probably do more a classic/modern 616 for the costume. There is no reason kenneth would be doing ultimate thor look. He is a more classical type of guy.

[PyroChamber]

Who's doing the costume designing for this movie anyway?

[SpiderByte]

The person who's doing the costume designing. :hehe:

Nothing wrong with that. After all the clothes make the man.

[kedrell]

But I'd say medieval designs were largely influenced by the earlier roman designs. Watch Excalibur(great ****in' movie!) and look at the suits of medieval armor in that. They're overlapping in many ways like Roman armor was. Just don't give him the plated armored skirt...that'd be too much. ;)

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope they stay away from armor in general for the movie. My ideal costume would be Coipel's design but with the mail undersuit replaced by bare arms and cloth pants. I want that visual reinforcement that Thor is one of the strongest beings in Asgard and doesn't bother with armor because he doesn't actually need it. His skin is effectively as tough as any armor.

Thor is one of the most powerful (if not the most powerful) beings on earth. one of the most powerful in Asguard. However, while on Asguard he's constantly fighting giants and mystical creatures. Creatures that CAN hurt him, it's a good idea to show him with armor, like every other asguardian, which are typically norse warrior gods.

[TheCorpulent1]

He's one of the most powerful beings in Asgard as well. There's only a handful of beings who can match or exceed his strength even in Asgard. Plus, have you seen the other Asgardians in the comics? A lot of them barely wear any clothing, let alone armor.

Odin leads an army and wears full armor. his son should do the same, imo.

But hey, maybe you're right.
Maybe thor should just rock a T-Shirt into battle. :D

[TheCorpulent1]

That's what he did the equivalent of in the comics for 30 years. :)

[SpiderByte]

I want someone on the street to look at Thor and say, "Is that guy on crack or something?" as he's shouting "FOR ASGARD!!"


That would be hillarious.

[kedrell]

My point was that most European armors from the middle ages had some influence from the Roman designs which came before.

thats the one aspect of the ultimate Comics that could work and provide some fun in this movie.

See? The Ultimates Universe isn't TOTAL crap. It DID give us Ultimate Nick Fury.

That's nothing to brag about.... 616 Fury>Ulti-Fury on his worse day.

[Wolfman]

Conan I mean Thor should wear his trademark black tunic, it could be leather and to make it more interesting (instead of jsut all black) it could have some patterns, or carvings or whatever you call them, in it. Sort of like in this viking bag:

It also didn't give us people thinking Thor's crazy. The 616 comics have played on that theme a few times over the decades.

I can't say I ever recalled that but I was a fan of THor in the origional 300 to 400 series.... 400 culminated with a huge battle with Sutur and the egyptian God of death Set I think.


In that run there was an epic battle betweeb Hogun and Daredevil, I remember many thinking Hogun was crazed...but he was halucinating.

616 Thor...we have to see the strength...not hide it if Hemsworth can pull it off...

[RogueDK]

http://www.xoopit.com/s/216juk2ie3mf4vbh01nk

616 Thor...we have to see the strength...not hide it if Hemsworth can pull it off...
I'd be pumped for this if Hemsworth could pull off that look. :word:

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd be flabbergasted if any living human being could pull off that look. :thor:

[SpiderByte]

It is very hard to pull off a realistic-looking 616 costume. Ultimates is one of the worse designs, but looks one of the most real. 616's looks best, but would be VERY hard to put on-screen.

Methinks they'll try to combine a few elements of the Ultimates (hairdo, steel-ish hammer) and combine it with 616 (helmet, non-glowing disks, the original shape of Mjolnir) and such.

[Evan Drew]

Preyty much the arms would be the big challenge. The torso armour can help with the upper body mass.

[Ace of Knaves]

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w303/ejar_bucket/Comic%20Posters/OLIVIERCOIPELnew_thor.jpg

I think the Coipel design would look sick.

[TheCorpulent1]

Preyty much the arms would be the big challenge. The torso armour can help with the upper body mass.
Having seen pictures of Hemsworth from Red Dawn and knowing he's put on even more muscle since then, I'm not worried about him filling out the costume. I say let his arms be bare in the costume. Remember, Hemsworth's not gonna be by himself on screen. Not only is Hemsworth a big dude by any measure, but look at his castmates: other than Stevenson, who'll be wearing a fat suit, they're all relatively normal-sized people, so Hemsworth will look even bigger by comparison.

[Wolfman]

Looking at that drawing... Thor aparently has very small penis, if at all. Between he's right leg and left leg there seems to be no "middle ground" if you will. The right leg dissapears behind that little piece of cloth and the left comes out the other end. The cloth doesn't even bulge. It's just flat. I'm kinda worried.

:pal: Really?! I think you taking this comic book thing a lil too seriously dude :hehe:

[Wolfman]

Heh, but just look at it. Damn, it's on the previous page. But I'm just asking, where's the equality? The artists never forget to draw breasts to female characters. Where is Thor's bulge people? Thor if anyone should have a bulge...

[Webhead2006]

yea i still say its probably going to be one of the more modern 616 looks from what we have been hearing on the costume. Then maybe some traits from the classic 616 suit. As for ultimates look i doubt anything will be taken from that look.

[SamuraiSon6]

i like the ultimate alliance 2 look that someone posted the best

[Nathan]

Has anyone seen these? They are artworks from the Thor game that was in the making at SEGA. I'd love if the Movie costume looked like those Artworks. Very 616, but updated to not look cheesy.

According to the artist, "These Thor pieces were all part of concepts for a video game SEGA was doing in conjuction with the movie being planned at the time. The movie was postponed due to a WGA strike and so was the game. The movie is back on again, but I'm not sure what the status of the game is. I'm no longer at SEGA."

Agreed on the helmet;

I actually like the costume design, but the 616 helmet would look great there instead.

[SpiderByte]

The chest seems to be based of the Ultimates. I'm surprised nobodies started *****ing about that yet.

[Ace of Knaves]

616 Thor has always had those circles there.

The Ultimate suit is holes that glow.

[SpiderByte]

Yeah.

The ones there are glowing. He has the Ultimate belt too.

[Superhero 101]

I think i am the only one who likes the Helmet. I think i like it because it looks slick

Have they released any other concept arts like Loki or Odin? I can't wait to see Loki's costume. I hope it's like the one in Marvel Ultimate Alliance

[The_Mighty_Thor]

I think they are reflecting light. They seem to be more like the discs on JMS's design than the Ultimate look.

[Ace of Knaves]

Yeah.

The ones there are glowing. He has the Ultimate belt too.

Yea but what I mean is the suit doesn't look like it's tech. He doesn't look like a cyborg.

I think i am the only one who likes the Helmet. I think i like it because it looks slick look it's smooth and shiny.

[SpiderByte]

So NOW you like the Ultimate look?

Hypocrite.

jk, jk

:D Oh trust me fella, I despise the Ultimate costume. It's a nice design I'll give it that... but not for Thor. IMO anyway.

Yeah.

I don't see a lot of similarities, except for the circles that appear like they might glow.

[Webhead2006]

yea those artworks were posted here and i think the news thread over the past week. But now as we know they are from a shelved thor game. As for the real costume only thing we know for sure is he will have a big red cape.

[TheCorpulent1]

There are similar elements to the Ultimate costume on the design above, but there are some differences that give it more of an appropriate feel for Thor. Little touches like the more medieval look of the belt, the stitched leather pants instead of what looks like buttoned, break-away sweatpants, the boots' looking less like modern-day combat boots, and of course the cape make the design look a lot more like a proper Thor costume than the techno-wrestler look Ultimate Thor has.

well if u didnt know those were just art from a shelved thor game. But yea overall look isnt that bad.

[RogueDK]

The security on the Thor set must be super-tight for a photographer not being able to steal a shot of Hemsworth in full on gear yet.

Even someone was able to at least do that with Ledger on TDK set. Show us a glimpse already. :csad:

[Son of Coul]

I'd rather see an official photo than a sneak shot of the set photo personally. And I know if the latter appeared on the internet first I'd pretty much HAVE to look at it, so... kudos to Marvel's security.

Perhaps but I think it's only human to gauge just where Marvel's head is at with his attire. Especially now that we're only guessing and not much to go on this early...

I know it's about to kill my Thor fanboy kid as he searches frantically on the net for something in the 616 area for just a glimmer of hope. He doesn't trust that Marvel can capture a satisfying enough look for his favorite hero. Now he's affected me as well.
I'm pretty sure if the look leans too heavily to the Ultimate version, hes going to have a coniption. :hehe:

[kedrell]

Ask yourself this question: When has Marvel really screwed the pooch with regard to the hero's look in a live action film? And lets just stick to the real movies, not the Corman stuff from way back when. Other than Shrek-Hulk,,,er, AngHulk, I can't think of a single one. Sure some people complain about the X-men costumes but at least they didn't look stupid when they redesigned them. I think Thor will be just fine.

We were many months into production before we got that spy pic of Ledger by the trailer, if memory serves me correctly. And we really couldn't tell much from it, other than they were going with longer hair.

And TDK was much more hyped than Thor is.

At least I assume, I wasn't looking into this stuff so much then.

I feel the same way. I am anxiously waiting to see how the Thor costume looks. I want it to look at least pretty close to the comics look(not the Ultimate look). Either the old costume or the current one. I am especially worried about Mjolnir. I want Mjolnir to look like it does in the comics, but am afraid we are going to get a more ornate looking hammer.

[Webhead2006]

well another thing we got to remember right now they are shooting in the marvel studios, studio space in manhattan beach cali. so everyone is probably inside and all that. So that is probably why we havent had any leaks yet. But in a few weeks they move to new mexico to start location shooting. So i am sure once that happens we will probably get something going on.

I thought that these were the costumes???? Are they not confirmed yet???http://www.themovieblog.com/2010/01/first-look-at-big-screen-captain-america-and-thor-costumes

[Webhead2006]

those are just the current comics versions of thor and captain america costumes. We dont know how the movies look will be. Will thor is know to the cast and crew and marvel guys and we are bound to know in a few weeks once filming moves to location shooting and if marvel releases a official look. As for cap we dont have a costume fully known besides the details joe has stated. And we are likely not going to know what cap's real look is to probably aug.

[TheCorpulent1]

Where does this keep coming from? Those are statues, for crying out loud. I very much doubt the first reveal of the movie costumes would come in the form of statues.

[Wolfman]

I think it comes from the fact that the Iron Man statue of that company was movie accurate, before the movie came out.

Allthough I dont think the curremt comic costume is going to be the movie costume. No way. So f it.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, but they specifically made a "movie costume" Iron Man sculpt in that case. The vast majority of their statues are just comic versions of the characters. It seems like people on movie news sites who don't know any better saw a couple new statues being released for characters who have movies coming up and assumed they must be wearing the movie costumes, even though they're clearly not (unless Marvel Studios has somehow managed to create the world's first form-fitting chainmail).

[Wolfman]

Yeah, that chainmail sucks. If you have muscular arms, you don't hide them into some stupid chainmail that in real life shows little to none definition. Dammit.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, it works for the comics, where every line can and usually does show through literally anything. But in the real world, I'm hoping we get a bare-armed costume. Let Hemsworth show off the guns. ;)

[Wolfman]

Right on. Hey my previous post... the word "life" has turned into a link for an add. Wtf is that? How is that possible? What if I write it again? life

[marvel_freshman]

I think the costume this guy drew of Thor is PERFECT for The Avengers.
He said it was combo of Ultimate & MUA2 costume.

[batsone]

really though, nice work, but you can keep that Thor> I'll take the current look, thank you very much.

[RogueDK]

That Thor in the sketch above isn't what I would crave either. Not slamming the artwork but his concept of combining Thor's aesthetic is terrible. :doh:

Classic/current 616 or bust thank you very much.

[Nathan]

It's not looking bad. All the drawing is missing is the helmet and cape to look pretty much 616.

[RogueDK]

It's not looking bad. All the drawing is missing is the helmet and cape to look pretty much 616.
The fact that the artist left out those two vital signatures of Thor's getup automatically makes it bad.

It wasn't his/her intention to implement them otherwise he would've.

[Webhead2006]

maybe the guy isnt good at drawing those elements?

[RogueDK]

maybe the guy isnt good at drawing those elements?
Kind of a lame excuse wouldn't you say? As rational & level-headed as you are on this site, you actually believe that?

This is clearly a bias account of what the artist would like. That's fine in itself with me, I just don't agree.

For the record, the drawing's pretty good as a whole.

[marvel_freshman]

I case you guys didn't notice, I said that would be a good design for Thor in The Avengers, while he is on earth.

And if you did notice, and think the that costume wouldn't be good for Thor in The Avengers., answer this:

Would Thor really need his Asgardian wear on earth? Mainly the helmet & cape. Can you really see a guy in all that Norse wear compared to Iron Man, and Captain America's supposed upgraded costume. I think not.

Thor is gonna need an upgrade for The Avengers. I think that was the concept of the ultimate costume.

The only thing I can do without on the ultimate costume is the lighted chest & belt and the axe/ hammer.

Other than that, I can see the Ultimate costume next to Iron Man & Cap.

http://www.immortalthor.net/bio-ultimatethor.jpg

[Chewy]

Yes I can see Thor in his costume next to Cap and Iron Man, helmet/cape and all. Thor wears what he wears, he isn't going to remove his helmet and cape for no apparent reason.

Oh, and **** the Ultimate costume.

[TheCorpulent1]

Exactly. It boggles my mind how people somehow think Thor is gonna, what, feel insecure because his clothes are weird by Earth standards? He's a god; he doesn't care. Woe unto all who besmirch the royal Asgardian raiment. WOE! :argh:

I'm OK with you.

in the movie of thor, the movie takes place in asgard... And earth too, so i imagine we'll see a suit who will look like the ultimate suit in earth. But in asgard, i think we will have an updated classic look.

It could be very cool

[marvelboy10]

Ok but i want a new suit for the part in earth. more modern.

Two suit in the movie could be good.

[TheCorpulent1]

As long as it doesn't look like the Ultimate costume and it includes a helmet and a big, flowing, red cape. :)

[RogueDK]

I'd rather once Thor is exiled to Midgard, once he's befriended by mortals to wear a tshirt and Levi's as an effort to fit in with the everyday crowd. Maybe pull his golden mane back into a ponytail?
I could see Jane Foster taking him shopping for this very thing: there's abit of humor that could come from doing that. A clash of customs if you will...experiencing a baseball game, cable tv, etc...

When it's time to go back into kickass mode, put back on his traditional 616 garb...with winged helmet and red flowing cape.

You know, it would acually be funny to see him in a fancy suit, only to see it be torn apart in a fight with one of his enemies.

[RogueDK]

Exactly.

I mean I can envision Thor & Jane going into a mens' shop and some very flamboyant tailor trying to "size" Thor up for a suit with his tape measure while Thor gives him a suspicious but displeased stare. :hehe:

He is an Alpha male afterall and wouldn't necessarily feel too comfortable from all of that kind of touching. :woot:


Thor: "Why doth thou touch me there, mortal?"

[Nathan]

I'd love if he'd say something like "These clothes are not fit for battle. I do not understand why you wear them."

[RogueDK]

I'd love if he'd say something like "These clothes are not fit for battle. I do not understand why you wear them."
"Speedos, Jane Foster? Tis madness upon my loins! What sort of man finds such undergarb not confining?" :hehe:

[Spider-Vader]

I don't see why Thor needs to look like everyone else. He's a god & he could careless. Current 616 costume would work well, it doesn't look cheesy or anything.

[Webhead2006]

yea i doubt they would end up going ultimate look for avengers movie there is no need for it in my mind. He will probably end up in thor and avengers have something that is a mix between classic 616 look and the more current 616 look.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd rather once Thor is exiled to Midgard, once he's befriended by mortals to wear a tshirt and Levi's as an effort to fit in with the everyday crowd. Maybe pull his golden mane back into a ponytail?
I could see Jane Foster taking him shopping for this very thing: there's abit of humor that could come from doing that. A clash of customs if you will...experiencing a baseball game, cable tv, etc...

When it's time to go back into kickass mode, put back on his traditional 616 garb...with winged helmet and red flowing cape.
I have no problem with that. It's the idea that he should permanently change his costume to something more like the Ultimate one that I'm not onboard with. Mostly because I think the Ultimate costume makes him look like a techno-WWE wrestler.

[RogueDK]

It looks much worse than that. :hehe:

I agree. Thor being banished to Earth should kind of be a humbling experience for him (yes, even for a god) and once he discovers he has an admiration for its people, I see nothing wrong with him taking on some of our customs even if they're not permanent. It humanizes him to an extent and the viewing audience connects with that but he's still Thor.

It shouldn't be an action for the simple excuse of pandering to fans of the Ultimate look so they do a costume change midway through the film. Thor just isn't Thor without the red cape and signature helmet...to me and some others.

[NoirMan82]

[Wolfman]

Hmmm... I can't wait for some Superman-like scene with Thor getting shot or something and then just looking at the villain with small lightnings flashing in his eyes, expressing: "for that, I'm going to f you up". :)

[TheCorpulent1]

It would be a pretty hilarious novelty to see Thor actually say, "I'm gonna f*** you up!" though. :hehe:

[SpiderByte]

Yeah.
I saw a bit of Thor in an Ultimate Avengers clip. I didn't like the suit, but I did like the way he talked. It wasn't regular English, but he didn't sound like someone from a Shakespeare play.

[BoredGuy]

There's a huge difference between regal, proper english and ye olde shakesperean middle english, I'm sure we'll get the former.....


tho it would be funny to hear "Loki, I shall skullf**k thee!"


jk.. definitely don't want to hear that...

[topdog1]

What is this from??? Saw it over on Facebook.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2009-6/1341152/Thor%20Concept%20Art.jpg

I pray that is NOT the hammer they are going with. Gack.

[Canis Sapiens]

Forget the hammer... he stole Wolverine's boots! :wow:

[Canis Sapiens]

Anyway, fear not. If I remember correctly, this concept art was discarded long before the production started.

[Webhead2006]

yea i remember seeing that work ages ago.

[Webhead2006]

I just noticed how the boots in that thor pic resemble the "ears" on Wolverine's mask.

Creepy....

[antmanx68]

I remember seeing on the guy's DA page that his agent asked him to do THOR movie costume design and he was all pumped but later found out if was for the Hulk Vs animated film.... so probably not even looked at for the motion picture.

[Spider-Vader]

The costume looks good, but the hammer....ew.

How cool will that look on the Silver Screen? I'm talking about the shot not just the costume

[RogueDK]

^^^Ugh...:doh: That Thor looks too much like a cheesy Sinbad. No, please.

I hate the welder's gloves too.

[Khemik@L]

Intriguing bit from Marvel_Freshman's site:

THOR Movie Concept Art? (http://www.**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=15203)

I for one think this may be fake. I don't know I doubt Marvel Studios will change something as Iconic as Thor's hammer to that degree. I mean isn't that kindah making Iron Man Shoot Rockets instead of repulsor rays, or giving Hulk Red pants? Or am I being too whiny?

[TheCorpulent1]

It's fake. We've seen that design before.

[Khemik@L]

It's fake. We've seen that design before.

Thank God!!

[Webhead2006]

yea it was posted months ago here from another site, it was designs that were going to go for a game or the hulk vs dtv but wasnt selected, and we were talking about it just a page ago too.

As for Cas manip i see nothing wrong with his design it works for thor. i would tone down the helmet the wings are a bit to large. But the overall design is good.

[Nathan]

^^^Ugh...:doh: That Thor looks too much like a cheesy Sinbad. No, please.

I hate the welder's gloves too.

Cheesy Sinbad?

[RogueDK]

Cheesy Sinbad?
Yeah, every time I see that particular pic and pose, it screams Sinbad to me for some reason and not Thor.

It must be those Hammer pants he's wearing. :hehe:

[TheCorpulent1]

They don't seem particularly baggy to me. In fact, I'm kind of hoping we get something like those pants instead of the current comic costume's chainmail for the movie. The more I think about any kind of mail in live action on the big screen, the more I think it just wouldn't work.

[RogueDK]

Mail in the structure of live action film can work; it's all about smart design. I'm just not a fan of that AoT look at all though.

That concept sketch which was posted previously looks more awesome to me sans that bone hammer. Leather armbands> welder's gloves.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not a fan of the gloves either, but the rest of the Ages of Thunder costume looks good to me. Cloth and straps are a good look for Thor.

[Vartha]

^^^Ugh...:doh: That Thor looks too much like a cheesy Sinbad. No, please.

Well in Myth Thor wore gloves or gauntlets

[RogueDK]

Well in Myth Thor wore gloves or gauntlets
Respectfully, that might be true in lore, Vartha but I was first taken with the comic book version. That version does just fine without the gloves for the last 40 years.


It's already a downer that I won't get to see Blake strike down the cane and transform (an awesome effect in itself onscreen)...I don't want to see Thor wearing gloves. :doh:

[TheCorpulent1]

I probably shouldn't show you this, but I'm just that cruel:

What's that from I missed that.

[TheCorpulent1]

Promo pic for the upcoming Avengers comic relaunch. Thor's finally gonna rejoin the team (:up:) but apparently the artist arbitrarily decided to add gloves to his current costume (:down).

[Vartha]

looks like JRjr

[TheCorpulent1]

It is indeed. I love his art but I'm not really sure why he decided Thor needed gloves. Not really a big deal overall, though.

[RogueDK]

I probably shouldn't show you this, but I'm just that cruel:

:hehe:
I won't lose sleep over it really so no harm done here.

That being said, the gloves really suck in what would have been a great pose. Methinks that Marvel is trying to insinuate that accessory into his everyday look from now on. :whatever:


Perhaps preparing us for what is to come onscreen?

[RogueDK]

yeah Rouge I understand but the Ages of Thunder books was supposed to BE the Myth version, and Marvel's version the rebirth.
Oh, okay. No wonder I had no desire to read AoT.

That belt is awesome.

[Thunder_god]

The gloves suck far less than the horrific pants/sleeves.

Is that chain mail? Scale mail? Lots of square plates grouped REALLY closely together? I dunno, it looks more like that crappy, square, floaty plates they sometimes make women's accessories out of, like purses and such.

Give me the Ages of Thunder costume, I will deal with the gloves, but ditch the faux-mail please.

T

[Son of Coul]

Geez, you guys really hate gloves.

[SpiderByte]

*raises hand, hoping he won't get killed*
I like the gloves.

[superkong 500]

I think that look would be great for the avengers. Let the thor movie costume the same but just add the square mesh. It will look awesome with the armor/mesh shinning as he walks. But instead of full gloves just have him use the leather bracelets and short gloves underneath, like say Boromir in LOTR.

[Brian Braddock]

Perhaps JrJr's logic behind their enclusion is that most armours over time are seldom gloveless? I dunno.

Not exactly a big deal for me though, I gotta be honest. They certainly provide balance overall though, aesthetically speaking, if you take the costume as a whole.

[Spider-Vader]

I like the gloves too, I think they look sorta cool.

I'm really eager to see what the costume looks like, I wander when we'll see it? I hope it's soon. I don't want to wait until Comic Con.

[Vartha]

It's actually a pretty good read. To Thor fans, it was great because the stories Fraction used were from the actual stories from the myths.

If you know somebody with the books or the trade borrow it.

Oh, okay. No wonder I had no desire to read AoT.

Thanks. I might give it a try since you think very favorable of it. Although Fraction's name tacked to it gives me pause. :hehe:

His Punisher writing isn't so great. :dry:

[Webhead2006]

i am sure we will probably know what thor looks like before comic con. There will probably be an official reveal in EW or other trades next month or so. And probably leaks if we see thor in costume in location shooting once that happens in new mexico.

[TheCorpulent1]

Fraction's hit-or-miss for me too, but Ages of Thunder was definitely one of his better comics. Just prepare yourself going in with the knowledge that these are not the current Marvel versions of the characters. They're from previous Ragnarok cycles and they're meant to integrate the myths into the comics a little more closely.

Noted. You guys speak fondly of it, least that I can do is check it out for myself... I just ordered a copy over the weekend so if it's good, I'll admit it.
Just hard for me to overlook the attire though. :hehe:

[TheCorpulent1]

He changes costumes throughout the series. All the gods do, since you're supposed to be seeing different versions of them from different Ragnarok cycles.

[SpiderByte]

By the way, is the costume supposed to be revealed at ComiCon? I wasn't sure, and if it is, when is it?

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think we've heard anything about official reveals for Thor yet. They only started filming a couple months ago and the movie's not slated for release for over a year, so I doubt we'll hear anything official for a while. Given that they're filming on a closed, indoor set until later this month, I doubt we'll even see unofficial pics until whenever they move to New Mexico and are filming outdoors, which is harder to control.

[Webhead2006]

yea we have no clue when things will happen. But if its like im/im 2 we should be seeing something official between march this month and april, then more revealed at comic con later this summer.

[RogueDK]

Corp & Vartha, I finally picked up the Ages Of Thunder hardcover last night from the bookstore and the book is beautiful I'll admit. Thus far, although the stories take on more of the mythological aspect as opposed to the comic incarnation as you've both stated, it would appear the Coipel-ish costume makes an appearance in this as I quickly browse through the pages.

That made me happy. Hopefully, that's the version I'm crossing my fingers that we'll get with Hems. :word:

[bubbadoom]

I have no problem with the gloves, but what's up with those ankle bracelets?

LOVE JRjr, oh how I wish Marvel would put him on the FF!

[Webhead2006]

or full time on spidey !!!

[Brian Braddock]

Or maybe back on Daredevil?

JrJr's synonomous with D/D for me, after his classic run in the late 80's/early nineties.

[Young Superman]

I hope they go with somthing like this as Thor's move costume. Love the classic Thor costume.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/thecorpulent1/Thor/thor3small.jpg

[Webhead2006]

well i think it will be a mixture of traits from classic kirby and a bit of the more modern copiel one. This is just my opinion.

[TheFuture]

Whatever they do they have to be careful, they have to get the costume concept perfect and that is no mean feat when it comes to Thor. IMO very few of his looks will transfer well onto the big screen in live action. Methinks that's the reasoning behind his current, more cinematic friendly, look.

[SpiderByte]

If only Redd weren't legally restricted from telling us what the costume looks like....(for those who don't know, Redd is a user here who's an extra in IM2 and Thor).

Glad you picked it up Rouge! Between Tales of Asgard and Ages of Thunder, those are the basics of how Thor grew up. Great reads in both books.
I personally can see the Ages costume in past setting and the Coipel in the present setting, both transfer to the Screen better than most of Thor's outfits IMO. Though I still love the Lord Thor outfit from the Reigning arcs too. Which that Ironhead studios seems to copy by the way.

[Vartha]

I don't, the Visa checkcard Commercial has me cringe at the Classic and I love the classic Thor.

Vartha, just finished reading it last night and the book was FANTASTIC! Well worth every penny even if the gloves still bothered me. :hehe:
Of course Thor was quite anal in the first story and this is probably the first time ever in my love for the character...

that he deserved a beatdown. Thor got his ass handed to him by his father with such swift PWNAGE. I saw his imminent come-uppance early on during this read.

The Reigning arc was great. Personally, I wouldn't mind if movie Thor adopted a style along the lines of what Magni wore. :word:

[Vartha]

If you're REALLY interested and want to read the actual myths the ages of Thunder comes from look for "the Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland"
VERY cool read in itself of the Translations from Snorri Sturluson from the 1300's!
Comparing what's in Ages to the actual story is pretty easy.

No the two aren't equal but it shows that Thor's classic costume would be way to campy for the big screen.
They even recognized that on the Hulk tv.

[RogueDK]

No the two aren't equal but it shows that Thor's classic costume would be way to campy for the big screen.

And yet, he looked even lamer on that program; IMO, that was the campy version. :whatever: Makes me wonder if they even made an effort to fashion something much closer to the comic book look.

C'mon, Vartha...it wouldn't be such a task to make classic Thor believable onscreen. It's all in the execution of the design.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

I want all the costumes from the Avengers Got Milk Commercial!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbnGeWzYPZw

That'd be the most epic team of Avengers...evar!

Well MY other problem is how many Viking have you ever seen wear TIGHTS and leotards?
I think if Marvel's aiming at a LotR type film They'll want to go a more historical looking costume like the Modern Coipel or Ages of Thunder.
Like I said the Classic is still a fav but it looks more like it belongs in Cartoons IMO.

[jmc]

It's a fine balance with comic costumes, but the beauty of Thor's is there's a lot of room to move to make it work well for live action, you could go a number of different ways.

[JAK®]

I disagree, I think Thor has it easy when it comes to adapting his costume, because a lot of design elements fit into historical context, and him being an otherwordly being gives him a justification for wearing strange clothing.

[RogueDK]

Well MY other problem is how many Viking have you ever seen wear TIGHTS and leotards?

Well, yeah...that can be easily remedied. :hehe:

Alter those two areas and still keep the essence of classic Thor.

[Vartha]

Well I have heard arguments that the Asgardainas ARE gods and they could wear different styles of clothing, but still I don't see it that way. Must be my love for Renaissance faires and historic films.
I'm just happy Thor's being made.


on a side note, even when tights were used in those times, they were actually tight PANTS, there was no elastic in those times

[JAK®]

Superhero costumes aren't like tights or leotards, other than that they are form fitting.

[RogueDK]

If Hemsworth is posing on future pics dressed like this, Vartha...you'll have a nerdgasm and love it. Just like me, you so desire this look:

SAY IT!!!!! Nothing beats Classic Thor's look. :word:


http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g245/RougeArtist/adamsthor.jpg



The tights debate reminds me of the arguement I had with a friend who thought the wings on Thor's helmet were actual wings attached on. He was amazed that they never got broken in battle. :hehe:

In some renderings, they do like like REAL wings.

[RogueDK]

T
It's never really been defined but even as a kid, I was under the impression that the wings were metal.

In the old school comic books, colorists seemed to always highlight them naturally white looking and non-metallic/reflective thus leading many to believe that they were actual wings tacked onto Thor's helmet.

This lead my friend to believe that in all of the years reading Thor, he always wondered why his helmet never broke a wing despite his helmet always falling off while engaged in battle. lol

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Asgardian birds are tough!

[Webhead2006]

for me i see it as a full metal helmet.

[Vartha]

Like I said I love the Classic but I can't see it on the silver screen thanks to that cheesy vynle costume in the Visa commercial. lol

The wings were up to the artist really. I don't remember the classic wings ever getting damaged. Tho during the fight with the Thorbuster Iron-man I recall those feathers flying.

This is one that I could actually see working in live action.

[TheCorpulent1]

For a kid, as Thor is in the mini-series that was taken from, sure. But biker shorts are a no-no for grown-up Thor. Or any grown man who's not competing in some kind of cycling event, really.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

True, but I like the way they incorporated the chest plates with the leather straps holding them in place. If I were in charge I would have Thor where a leather top that hung down through the belt similiar to the current look, I would use the chest plating from that pic and then just give him some regular viking era pants. And his classic helmet of course.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd just use the current costume without the mail. Pants over the legs and bare arms.

[Webhead2006]

man i cant wait to see how this board reacts once we get the first official or leaked look at the costume.

[TheCorpulent1]

It will explode. If most people like it, it will die down quickly. If a lot of people don't like it, we will argue about it until release day.

Some New Thor Details Reveal Timeline, Costume and More

http://cache.reelzchannel.com/assets/content/blog/ThorBlog.jpgWith the official synopsis (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie-news/6074/official-plot-synopsis-for-kenneth-branaghs-thor) for Thor (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie/234734/thor) only recently revealed, details on the upcoming comic book adaptation have been few aside from casting. Jon Favreau (http://www.reelzchannel.com/person/83068/jon-favreau) has explained that Iron Man (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie/227493/iron-man) and Iron Man 2 (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie/259019/iron-man-2) will take place before The Incredible Hulk (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie/243423/the-incredible-hulk), leaving where Thor fits into that timeline a huge question mark.
According to Latino Review, a source close to the project revealed (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/thor-exclusive-marvel-secrets-from-insiders-part-i-9425) where Thor fits on Marvel's movie timeline — which also includes The First Avenger: Captain America (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie/259110/first-avenger-captain-america) and eventually culminates in all characters teaming up in The Avengers (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie/262408/the-avengers).
In terms of time-line, Thor is set after The Incredible Hulk. In the script we make mention of gamma radiation and one of the scientist characters, I think Stellan Skarsgard (http://www.reelzchannel.com/person/100396/stellan-skarsgard)'s Professor Ford recalls, "There was brilliant scientist (Bruce Banner). He was a genius with gamma radiation and somehow S.H.I.E.L.D. made him disappear." So Thor's story would take place after The Incredible Hulk.
The ending of both The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man teased the upcoming Avengers, and the source claims that Thor will be no different.
Basically, at the end of the movie, Thor makes mention to Clark Gregg (http://www.reelzchannel.com/person/177135/clark-gregg)'s character Agent Coulson that his kingdom of Asgard and S.H.I.E.L.D. are on the same side and whenever they need his help, he will be there to assist them in battle. It does leave it open, with Thor basically saying "When you need me and you want to assemble a team, I'm down." So, this is obviously pre-Avengers, post-Incredible Hulk.
The source praised Kenneth Branagh (http://www.reelzchannel.com/person/222580/kenneth-branagh), calling the director "passionate," and describes Chris Hemsworth (http://www.reelzchannel.com/person/302392/chris-hemsworth) as "a cool guy and about as normal a guy that you'll ever meet" and "a perfect Thor." Marvel's presence on set was also praised since they have "done a really good job of trying to blend what they need to have a successful movie and what they need to keep all the fan boys happy," including Thor's costume.
Surprisingly, the costume looks amazing. We could tell early on from the production sketches of costumes and sets that this was going to be something good. It's just beautiful and the designers really took it to heart. If you look at some of the more recent Thor comics that are out now, the tone and the costuming is that. It's basically, the way you read the comics now, they're updated the way they are now and that's how the costumes are. I think everyone is going to be very, very happy. Nothing looks cheesy or cheap. Everything looks like it's real. Everything looks like it came from that period. And everything looks right on all the actors. Nothing looks stupid. I guess that's the best word. It's just jaw-dropping even to the Marvel executives.
While Thor opens May 20, 2011, The First Avenger: Captain America will follow on July 22, 2011. Captain America director Joe Johnston (http://www.reelzchannel.com/person/81916/joe-johnston) says that at least half of the movie (http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie-news/5768/joe-johnston-discusses-captain-america-casting-and-reveals-costume-and-plot-details) will be set in Europe during World War II, which is consistent with the original comic book origin and well before any of the other Marvel movies.

[Vartha]

well that EXACT quote was in the Latino review describing the costume yesterday.

[Crimson King]

double post

[E.Brock]

so we're gonna get more of a current thor costume? so the metal on the arms?

[Nathan]

I can't imagine the chainmail looking good on screen. It could be Coiple's design, but maybe made completely out of leather and cloth.

[Vartha]

Well it looks like it, look on the bright side it's not ULTY (i have neon on my chest) Thor

[RogueDK]

And this SHH poster will take it! I read this info to my fanboy kid this morning before he went off to school and he was positively ecstatic that they seem to be going the Coipel route with Thor's look. It took a load off of his mind...and mine too. :word:

Notice how the source clearly states that the costume doesn't look cheesy nor stupid. Yet, they supposedly maintain the look he has on the comics now. Unlike my good friend Vartha, only the classic version could've made me happier. :woot:

Coipel, baby!!!!!!! :awesome:

[Iceman]

man i cant wait to see how this board reacts once we get the first official or leaked look at the costume.It's gonna be HUGE!!!

For a kid, as Thor is in the mini-series that was taken from, sure. But biker shorts are a no-no for grown-up Thor. Or any grown man who's not competing in some kind of cycling event, really.lol

[Webhead2006]

i cant wait to see looks.

[TheDarkKnight08]

I actualyl wouldn't mind something like the Ages Of Thunder costume. As long as it looks great and not out of place next to IM and The Avengers, I'm good. :cwink:

[Webhead2006]

i am sure it will look great from what ever it is.

[TheWatcher]

If there going with classic Thor,They should go with this:
http://wikicheats.gametrailers.com/images/1/1a/MUA2_Thor.jpg

I still hope they go with Coipel's though.

[Vartha]

You mean 616 over Ultimate Universe?
Classic would be the original costume/ any thing like modern costume is Coipel/Ages of Thunder and even Ultimate alliance 2 costume.
the Modern Costume takes ideas from the actual period Thor's from.

[Vartha]

I gotta pick up Alliance 2, I want it so bad

[Webhead2006]

i am sure it will probably be the modern copiel look with maybe some traits to the classic early 616 look.

[BoredGuy]

Quesada said that fans of the classic look will be happy at the Mondo Marvel panel.

A little disappointing, I like the coipel design best, but at least its no Ultimate look.


ps. VARTHA, Ultimate Alliance 2 sucked sumthin awful, but Thor was an absolute BEAST, if you get it, I suggest unlocking him asap... God I could smack people with that hammer all dam day

[Vartha]

Well THIS is from an Avengers retelling of the origin. It's a combination of the Classic and Coipel

[TheCorpulent1]

Not a fan of the shoulder pads, but otherwise it's not too bad. The blue pants and yellow boots look a bit garish with the more practical look of the tunic, though. Probably should've made the pants gray and the boots brown.

lol That's what I hear. Tho I'm buying the game used so I'll be happy to have the game. I LOVED the first game and I hope to heck Thor's own games coming up will be as good with Asgard in it.

Yeah I like this version because of the lack of the lack of the "shorts".
The Tunic/sir coat is a better idea than the old top.
I agree, the blue tights still throw off the costume.

[SpiderByte]

I think that Thor should talk like Shining Knight in Justice League Unlimited. Varying between normal english and "Have at thee!"

[davince338]

I found these on the internet.
This one doesn't have the blue pants, but still has the shorts.
It looks like a combination of the heroes reborn thor and the classic.

Welcome aboard Davince! Yeah the top pic is a Reborn costume.
The 2nd one looks like a variation of the Coipel and Ultimates costume

This. Would. Make. My. Day. If. True. :word::word::word::awesome:

[Vartha]

I think JQ's referring to the 616/modern over the Ultimate costume Rouge.
The other article plainly states the costume resembles the costume TODAY and of the period.

Either way, still happy. :awesome:

As long as it's not the Ultimate look. After reading Ages Of Thunder for the 5th time straight, I've warmed up to that look over the Ulty one sans the gloves. :hehe:

I have to agree with you Rouge. We do not want to see a neon Thor:doh:

[davince338]

I'm not a huge fan of the Ultimate look as well, it's to high tech for me.

I did come across this statue that could work.

[davince338]

Although i still miss the helmet and the cape

[TheCorpulent1]

That's another Ultimate costume. Joe Madureira redesigned Ultimate Thor's costume a bit, but it still has all the elements I dislike from the original Ultimate costume.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

as in lack of helmet and cape?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep, plus the fingerless gloves (oh-so-'90s), and the light-up discs are still there to some extent.

[Vartha]

I don't mind the up dated Ulty Thor really, but I still dislike the glowing of the disc's no matter what they look like. It make it look like Thor power comes from the discs.

Tho I do like reading the Ulty books. Can't wait to read the entire new run, being mostly Asgardian realted.

[Vartha]

I don't know why but I can't help but think "Dog the Bounty hunter" seeing this version of Ulty Thor

I don't mind the updated design either. He looks a lot more warrior-esque.
