Thor's costume

[Webhead2006]

yea i am sure it will not be any of ultimate's thor design for look. From all the small details we have gotten it seems it will probably be more of kirby's classic mixed/fused with copiel/modern look.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

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

Yeah the gloves can go. I don't think those are the light up discs though. I think they are metal armor plates that are drawing the electricity from Mjolnir and reflecting the light a bit. I think the plates look fine.

That's what i think to.
At least he has no high tech belt around his waist and has the classic mjolnir

[TheCorpulent1]

It's an improvement, certainly, but I still don't really like it as a Thor costume. Not to mention the statue itself is a bit ugly; Thor's face is like 80% forehead.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Oh yeah, I was just talking about the costume, it definately sucks overall as a statue.

[Untouchable]

I believe these have been posted before (I'm not sure) but this is the version I would like to see on the big screen. The straps supporting his buckles seem more realistic to me.


Plus, lets face it guys, you can't use Classic Thor with the yellow boots.

[Untouchable]

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.

616 is now going with the glowing discs too.

http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy248/Thor210/Thor6-1.png

[tamron]

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.

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8076/thorwinningpose.jpg (http://img13.imageshack.us/i/thorwinningpose.jpg/)

That design is basically Thunderstrike without the leather jacket and six discs instead of four.

[Vartha]

Yeah I've seen that and I hope that's just the artist's version of Thor.

I'm really disappointed with that. It's probably because Pasqual Ferry has been drawing a lot of cosmic stuff with Adam Strange and the New Gods for the past few years. He really seems to love incorporating glowy crap on all of his character (re-)designs.

[Nathan]

I'm not a fan of that "glowy crap" either. The costume looked great the way it was.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's especially annoying because Matt Fraction, the writer Ferry's paired up with, is supposedly taking Thor into more cosmic territory. I love that contrast of Thor's very old-world look and mindset against a backdrop of crazy sci fi and aliens and such. But we lose that a bit if Thor is suddenly glowing and high-techish.

[Vartha]

I really hope not.

[SpiderByte]

It could be a sort of mystical glow. It's not like he's covered with arc reactors.

[Nathan]

What's the point of it though? If the hammer glows, that's one thing, because he channels his powers through it. What's the point of his clothes to have a "mystic glow"?

[Vartha]

Unless it's a new version of Megingjord Thor's belt of Strength, there shouldn't be any glowing on or around the discs.

[SpiderByte]

Maybe it could glow when he spins his hammer for a final blow?

[Spidey-Quad]

Thor does have both a belt and pair of gloves that boost his strength. They were included in a Marvel story were a camera man accidentally gets Thor's power aided by the belt and gloves. below from

Wiki:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor

"To wield Mjöllnir, Thor wears the belt Megingjord, which boosts the wearer's strength and a pair of special iron gloves, Járngreipr, to lift the hammer."

So, the gloves are not off base.

[Spidey-Quad]

I said it twice so nobody misses it. (not really)

[Vartha]

just not used to often.
The belt of strength weakens Thor after he uses it.

[TheCorpulent1]

And it's usually only trotted out for special events, like when Thor's fighting someone way more powerful than he is. Marvel's Thor has never actually needed gloves to lift Mjolnir, either. We've seen him lift it even as an adolescent with his bare hands.

[RogueDK]

Yeah I've seen that and I hope that's just the artist's version of Thor.
My wishful thinking as well...

[antmanx68]

Thor newb's opinion on this.

I really like the Glowy Crap, I think if drawn right it gives more of a "God of Thunder" look as opposed to "viking guy who is strong". To me, when Thor is in epic battle mode he should like if a normal person went anywhwere near him they would explode just from the energy coming off of him. If it was up to me, whenever he channelled his energy through Mjorlnir- his eyes, the hammer and the plates on his armor would all light up like he's a super-conducter of all this elemental/god energy....

-but thats just me, not the popular opinion I know but I think especially in a movie you'd have to do some thing visually to make him seem like more than just a guy in a cool costume.

Also they'd have to make it look ancient and magical rather than "techy", but I think it would add a lot.

This is my new favorite look for the movie. It absolutely screams 'awesome'.

[rcazzy]

http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy248/Thor210/Thor6-1.png

This is my new favorite look for the movie. It absolutely screams 'awesome'.

It does seem like the best choice of design for the live action movie, as long as the armour sits well! Glowing discs can be used as being part of Thor's belt I guess, glowing for inense scenes.

NOU!

[kedrell]

It does seem like the best choice of design for the live action movie, as long as the armour sits well! Glowing discs can be used as being part of Thor's belt I guess, glowing for inense scenes.

The only way I wouldn't mind the glowing is if it is because at a certain point Thor flies up into a storm for whatever reason and is doused by lightning which causes all the metal on his person to glow white hot(still wouldn't bother him though, being a god and all).


Hmm, on second thought.... his helmet would be glowing as well, wouldn't it? Yeah, that might look stupid. Scratch that idea, but at least you get an understanding of where I'm coming from.

[NEXUS 6]

Actually, taking into consideration the above post, what if, whenever Thor generates lightning, the discs and belt (and hammer, obviously, as the source/conduit) glow white hot. The helmet would be made of some godly metal, obviously, since it's protecting his head, so it would be impervious to this reaction. I agree, a glowing helmet would look dumb. But you can avoid things like that in science fiction and fantasy with cop-out excuses like the one I just proffered. :grin:

[Vartha]

I can see electricity jumping from Disc to disc when Thor releases a bolt of lightning but not the glowing.
I can see when Mjolnir is about to release the bolt of lightning and Electric charges going around the hammer then the discs and then the bolt strikes, but not GLOWING discs, that just makes it look like Thor's outfit powers him.

[TheCorpulent1]

I would actually be okay with the glowing discs on Ferry's drawing (not for the film) if not for the glowing lines that connect them. The gold lining on Thor's tunic itself glows? That's just weird.

[E.Brock]

616 is now going with the glowing discs too.

http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy248/Thor210/Thor6-1.png

ya I dont really like that at all

[SpiderByte]

I think it looks cool.

[RogueDK]

The concept makes Thor look a little too Tron-ish for my liking.

[Gamma Goliath]

Can anyone repost those concept images of thor's suit from the game? Those were some of the best comic adaptions I've seen.

[Vartha]

Which game Goliath the new game? Ultimate Alliance 2?

[E.Brock]

i want to see the bare arms look too

[TheCorpulent1]

I think we'll probably end up with bare arms. It just makes more sense than cloth, and any kind of mail would never hug the arms well enough to give Thor that superhero-strongman look.

I guess I am too because I think Thor's modern costume is his best.

Earlier today I made a post that could have been taken as insensitive. It was a poor attempt at humor and I sincerly apoligize if my unfortunate choice of words words hurt anyone here.

That would be furthest from my intent.

His modern costume is fine, it was the light up version in that pic that should never see the light of day again!

[Chris Wallace]

Not bad.

[Webhead2006]

i still say it will probably be a cross between classic kirby and modern/copiel design. as for glowing discs i agree it would look cool and all though it would probably be best if its just the hammer that glows.

[hugekent]

UPDATE

Deborah Ambrosino (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0024458/) (a specialty costume craftsperson) is working on the costumes for Thor and in this interview with the Costume Designers Guild she talks about what she's doing on the film.

Deborah Ambrosino

Like many costumers, Deborah Ambrosino's career path was triggered by a fascination with vintage clothing. When she sought to pursue this interest on another level through curatorial work, she was sidelined by a mandatory theatre costume class. After that indoctrination to costume, she never looked back.

Ambrosino describes herself as a specialty costume craftsperson with a strong background in millinery. After years of focusing on hatmaking in films like "The Patriot," Ambrosino says she "made a conscious effort to change my classification with the union." She is usually hired by the costume designer as the lead of the specialty costume department. Ambrosino researches then develops prototypes based on illustrations, research, or both. As a film enters production, problem solving begins, crewmembers are added to her team, and costume pieces are constructed.

At the moment, Ambrosino is working on "Thor," which she describes as "strangely enough, very theatrical. There is a lot of fantasy in the different worlds that Thor lives in. The characters that populate that world are fantastical but not superheroes, which is great… there is a heightened realism." For this project, Ambrosino is employing her metalsmithing knowledge to create armor and jewelry, in addition to some millinery and leatherwork.

Some of her recent notable millinery projects include the fanciful dandelion headdresses for the television show "Pushing Daisies," which are floral by way of the 1960s, and equally delicate and graphic. In the 2008 film "Leatherheads," Ambrosino created a closet of over fifteen exquisite cloches to coordinate with Reneé Zellweger's many costume changes. Additionally, in the unreleased "The Last Airbender," she fashioned numerous headdresses and hats for the film's townspeople and villagers.

As a specialty costume craftsperson, Ambrosino also completed "Alice in Wonderland," "Avatar," and "Transformers," among other films in 2009. After years of perfecting her craft, it is this range and diversity that demonstrate the crucial role Ambrosino and others like her play in realizing the costume designer's vision for a character.Source Link:http://www.costumedesignersguild.com/articles/default.asp?yrid=2010&artid=dd01&indx=0

This reeks of awesomeness! :awesome:

How cool would it be to see Thor nominated for an Oscar for Best Costume Design?

[Webhead2006]

could be

[BrlntDsgse]

ya too technology-esq

That's a totally viable route to go, just look at Kirby's drawings of Asgard and stuff like Odin's crazy armor, and all their techno-sorcery type devices. Also given that the movie is treating them as a sort of "extra-dimensional beings" rather than flat-out literal gods, it would only make sense that THEY(the Asgardians) would not dress quite like Vikings, but rather they would have a more "cosmic" look , with elements that suggest that their look once INSPIRED the look of the Vikings.

[Vartha]

Yeah but they're staying away from the Theme park looking Asgard Brlnt,
They're staying with a norse look. Like Simonson, Hanna, and Coipel.

[BrlntDsgse]

Yeah but they're staying away from the Theme park looking Asgard Brlnt,
They're staying with a norse look. Like Simonson, Hanna, and Coipel.

Well, we don't know that it'll be a flat-out norse look, worn leather and fur pelts and all, especially given that part of the movie takes place in modern times. And the pic I was making a reference to is really just the Coipel design but with the armor plates and yellow piping glowing and it seems like a good middleground between the two looks. It really kinda speaks to the strength of Coipel's design that as normally presented it looks like a more rugged, viking twist on classic Thor, while in that pic just that one minor alteration can make the whole thing seem more "cosmic" and Kirbyish while still keeping the same design. And on a side note.... a lotta Walt Simonson's stuff has REALLY strong Kirby influence.

[Vartha]

Yeah I see a common ground like Coipel's designs, Walt's designs had less Si-Fi looks to Thor and Asgard.
I loved Kirby's Thor but Asgard looked too much like some Mall and Theme park. It seemed too mechanical.
I'll post a 3D model I built

[Vartha]

Here's the model I built of Asgard. It's a combination of Jack and Walt's Asgards with some Hanna in it.

I like this version of the suit, it's the classic costume but updated.
I think it will work.

I also like the hammer which referes to the runestone mjolnir.

[HboyBowen]

Does anyone know if they are going for the small Thor's Hammer or the oversized one?

I prefer the oversized one

[TheCorpulent1]

Probably somewhere in the middle. Something a big guy like Thor could conceivably carry one-handed but would strike fear into his enemies without being cartoonishly oversized.

Personally I prefer the Copiel version, but I agree about the hammer. It's an absolute must for me that the design of Mjolnir incorporate the look of some of the traditional Mjolnir iconography--rather than the comic book cube on a stick, which has always been sort of mediocre. More examples, for those who don't know what I'm taking about:

[davince338]

The last one of the runestone hammer is what i was talking about.
It is more mythological.

[davince338]

As i said i like the "updated" classic look because i think it will work in a movie.
As much as i like the Copiel version, i think that the chainmail arms and legs are going to be a problem.

Only Hercules and Green Arrow should get a pass when it comes to facial hair.

Then Thor should've come upon the comic scene with one. Many of his fans are just conditioned to what we've come to accept. Clean-shaven thunder god.

Herc started out with beard while besting Thor in their skirmishes. Used to that. If Herc didn't sport one, I'd be ticked off...

This Thor beard is teetering on dare I say...Ultimate. :cmad:

[TheCorpulent1]

No, if it were Ultimate beardage, it'd be a wussy goatee. Hemsworth clearly has large tracts of glorious beard hair from his chin all the way to his sideburns. That is pure 616 beardage, as evidenced by various points in his history from the Simonson run to Busiek and Perez's Avengers to Jurgens' King Thor saga. There is clear precedent for the beardage and the beardage is good. :argh:

[Nathan]

This Thor beard is teetering on dare I say...Ultimate. :cmad:

The beard he's sporting in the interview, is indeed more Ultimatish. When 616 Thor grows his beard out, it's definitely much bigger. But it doesn't bother me.

Maybe they wanted him to look more like a rugged warrior and less Fabioish.

Exactly. Which makes me fear the direction his aesthetic may take by the time the Avengers movie comes out.

I feel the glowing discs not far behind. :doh:

[Nathan]

Well, looking at Corp's post, it's more of a mix. Hemsworth got the full on sideburns, unlike Ultimate Thor, but it's got the shortness.

Anyway, has anyone seen this before? I found it while I was looking for Thor pictures with a beard. It's a cool drawing of Hemsworth with a beard in Thor getup.

That's a much fuller beard than Hemsworth had. I kind of wish he could've grown it out to that level, but I'm sure he didn't have time for that. Glad he's got a beard at all, though. Badass viking gods should have beards. :oldrazz:

Yeah I know Chris's beard's not that full, but you're right I would rather Thor look alittle rough around the edges than Prince Valiant clean.

I remember the Thor from that arc and loved it; it was one of my favorite reads.

However, I'd hardly call my reservations trolling just because I don't prefer that he starts out with a beard. Never said it was a downer, I just don't want the beard...

Aquaman. IMO, he's only cool when he has the beard. All other times he's "That guy who can't do s***."

Not so. He didn't have the beard for Sub Diego, which was one of his best periods. But he is usually better with beardage. :up:

lol you miss under stood I made that for the FF movie threads back when we were waiting for that movie to come out. I wasn't saying you were Trolling. lol

[Webhead2006]

saw the mtv link, nice to hear from chris about the costume, and the hammer and all the talk about how to pronounce the name of the hammer. also nice to know for sure he is indeed wearing a long blonde wig for the film. also it looks like he is sporting a beard to for the role. For how much of the film he has a beard hard to tell. Maybe he will have beard for part and no beard for another part.

[Microchip]

Thats barely a beard at all. That's 4-5 days without a shave. When I heard he had a beard, I was thinking long, flowing and I was SCARED. But that looks fine.

3/4 done shooting and no production stills? This thing's locked down more than the Pentagon. The 3/4 implies there still is a faint possibility of a teaser with Iron Man 2... as remote a chance as that may be..

[Webhead2006]

could be a teaser but if its anything it probably nothing of film footage.

[kedrell]

There's every likelihood that we'll get some Thor teaser in front of the IM2 DVD, but the theatrical release......I wouldn't hold your breath.

i can live with the beard he's got but i would have preferred a clean shaven thor (which is odd to me as i sport a beard and think it's a good look for most people)

I guess if you post on enough message boards for this kind of thing, sometimes responses can get misconstrued for something else. God knows I've given up on a few sites that couldn't carry a civil enough discussion without resorting to throwing insults at one another. We can't all have what we want for this; I can reluctantly live with the beard. My son doesn't care either as long as it wasn't a fat one like in your pic...he just wants to see his favorite hero onscreen finally.

Well, looking at Corp's post, it's more of a mix. Hemsworth got the full on sideburns, unlike Ultimate Thor, but it's got the shortness.

Anyway, has anyone seen this before? I found it while I was looking for Thor pictures with a beard. It's a cool drawing of Hemsworth with a beard in Thor getup.

[Vartha]

It's cool, Vartha :cwink:. Not mad at you.
I guess if you post on enough message boards for this kind of thing, sometimes responses can get misconstrued for something else. God knows I've given up on a few sites that couldn't carry a civil enough discussion without resorting to throwing insults at one another. We can't all have what we want for this; I can reluctantly live with the beard. My son doesn't care either as long as it wasn't a fat one like in your pic...he just wants to see his favorite hero onscreen finally.



Glad to know that I wasn't the only one.

You two are welcome to use it if you want. lol At the time I made it there was a slight Board war going on between the Bat-Man threads and the FF threads. lol Then we had these kids who'd never seen the original FF #1 and wouldn't drop the "no Eye brown" or he "looked lumpy" issues with Ben Grimm.

[Webhead2006]

well for all we know maybe he will be clean shaven and have beard. We dont know how long he has been sporting the beard. and we dont know for sure if he even had one when they started production in the manhatten bench studio shoot stuff.

[davince338]

Maybe they will have a bearded Thor in the first movie with a mythological costume and a clean shaven Thor with a updated costume in the avengers movie.

[Nathan]

I really hope it's not updated in an Avengers Movie. He should stick to his classic clothes and not get dressed up by some SHIELD tailor. If they modernize it, they might risk getting into Ultimate territory.

[Vartha]

Well they could have Thor with a beard in his first movie and with the 2nd Thor film or the Avengers he would shave. I would stick with the unshaven Thor in the first movie just to give him that look of a rough warrior in his own movie.

[Vartha]

I really hope it's not updated in an Avengers Movie. He should stick to his classic clothes and not get dressed up by some SHIELD tailor. If they modernize it, they might risk getting into Ultimate territory.
They're saying that's it's close to what we've in in Thor's new run, NOT the ultimates outfit.

[Nathan]

I know what it will be for his own Movie. But we were talking about when he joins the Team and that he shouldn't get an update.

[Vartha]

I would say the "Modern" costume same one used in his own movie.
The newer costume is a cross between "Period" viking clothes and what we wear today.
I would like to see the Coipel outfit in our time period and anything before Thor's banished the Ages of Thunder outfits just to keep the two worlds separate.

[RogueDK]

I really hope it's not updated in an Avengers Movie. He should stick to his classic clothes and not get dressed up by some SHIELD tailor. If they modernize it, they might risk getting into Ultimate territory.
My fear as well...
But you just know that if there's already an Ultimate Nick and there's rumblings of the Ultimate Cap look for his film that by the time Avengers rolls around Marvel is going to insinuate that ghastly look for Thor...it's inevitable. :csad:

[Nathan]

Ok, Ultimate Nick I'm not a fan of. They should've stuck with 616. Ultimate Cap's WWII outfit looks pretty badass and I never found his modern Ultimate costume to be total sacrilege. But Thor, he barely had anything in common with the 616 version except for the long hair. He looked nothing like a north god, just way too modern.

[Vartha]

My fear as well...

Not to worry Rouge. I really don't think they'll go the Ulty Thor route in Avengers. Seems to me once they've set the look in the first movie each Avenger, that's the look they'll keep.
I'd think it'd be kind of expensive to revamp a costume after they've already set it up in each main film with all the stunt costumes and such.

I like both Fury's actually. I can go either way on him.
I love the original Ulty Cap's outfit. It's like the WWII outfit with the helmet, both make alot of sense in the real world.

I hope you're right, man. IMO, there's a little more than a handful of heroes whose costumes should NEVER be meddled with...Thor's is on that list.

Well technically the original Classic has been updated. :D

A certain amount of meddling is appropriate. Never would the classic Thor costume look good on screen without minor updates.

hehe Visa checkcard and Got Milk commercials come to mind if they AREN'T meddled with. :D

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't see why Thor should get a costume "update" for Avengers. No one's calling for Cap or Iron Man to change their costumes or for the Hulk to wear different colored pants outside of their own movies. :huh:

[Vartha]

Well Stark is about as bad as Wasp was with all the different armor. lol
I heard that Cap will will change costumes a couple times, basically ends up in something like the Ulty Cap but starts with Kirby's costume.

[lixdexia]

I don't see why Thor should get a costume "update" for Avengers. No one's calling for Cap or Iron Man to change their costumes or for the Hulk to wear different colored pants outside of their own movies. :huh:
i thought EVERYONE (almost literally, including production crews) were talking about cap getting a new costume for the avengers movie. and that ironman will have one is all but a foregone conclusion in my mind...but the only update i want for thor is a shave.(based on assumptions that his movie look doesn't suck)

[TheCorpulent1]

Meh, it's all silly to me. If they nail the costumes the first time, there's no reason to change them. I know Iron Man's getting a new armor in IM 2, but even that doesn't seem necessary given how great the first movie's final armor looked.

[Vartha]

I don't see a shave for Thor until Avengers. Keep in Mind Thor's being Banished to Earth to learn Humilty. The unshaven Thor looks Rough and Untamed.

[RogueDK]

hehe Visa checkcard and Got Milk commercials come to mind if they AREN'T meddled with. :D
And yet both were superbly awesome. :word:

Agreed!!!! Keep wings on Cap's head too. :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, I could probably go without the wings. I don't need the costumes to be 100% identical to their comic costumes, I just don't see the need to keep changing them with every new movie the characters are in.

I think this is the reason why I fear an upgrade. If he's banished on earth and still can't return to Asgard willingly during the Avengers Movie, then he'll only come with the clothes he's wearing on his skin. Unless they make him totally magical and he can always summon his clothes.

If his getup is damaged, it's not like he can walk into a store and buy new norse warrior style clothing. And I feel like he won't be completely choosey about what he's wearing, as long as it's suitable for combat. So if SHIELD is giving him a new battle getup, since he'll be part of the Avengers... then god help us all.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't see why he'd still be banished on Earth by the time Avengers rolls around. He'll hopefully have learned humility by then. If he hasn't, his characterization would be drastically different from the comics' Thor, and that would not be a good way to end his own movie.

[Vartha]

And yet both were superbly awesome. :word:

I like the stenciled wings on the helmet actually

i know, i just wish it were otherwise. i associate the beard with king thor and growing more odinlike. not sure there's any basis for that or not but that's the connection i make with the beard in my head

[Vartha]

The way the First draft had it ending was even AFTER learning humility Thor stayed on earth, and it seemed to cut from the past to today.
The new synopsis seems like Thor restarts an ancient war in our time THEN gets banished, unlike being banished in the viking era.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, yeah, Thor's obviously going to stay on Earth, but he wouldn't really be banished, he'd be choosing to stay there like in the comics. Presumably, once he's learned humility, he could return to Asgard when he wanted to.

[lixdexia]

Well, yeah, Thor's obviously going to stay on Earth, but he wouldn't really be banished, he'd be choosing to stay there like in the comics. Presumably, once he's learned humility, he could return to Asgard when he wanted to.

[Vartha]

IF he was allowed too return. Loki was in control of Asgard and Odin was in an Odinsleep in the first draft.
Still helping those in need is What Thor is supposed to do. Before he learned humility, he couldn't be bothered by it. So yes, I would say he stays on earth by choice afterwords.

[Spider-Vader]

Meh, it's all silly to me. If they nail the costumes the first time, there's no reason to change them. I know Iron Man's getting a new armor in IM 2, but even that doesn't seem necessary given how great the first movie's final armor looked.

It makes since for Tony since he's always updating his armors. Steve & Thor? Not so much.

[TheCorpulent1]

Samuel L. Fury: All right, Avengers, let's move out!
Captain America: Ugh, but this costume totally makes my butt look big. Someone find me another one!

[Aesop Rocks]

OH CORP! :awesome:

[Brian Braddock]

I thought common consensus on the Cap costume was to give him a new costume for Avengers that was similiar to the WW2 one that [presumably] gets destroyed in the blast that sends him into suspended animation, only made out of cutting edge materials?

Why you'd need to give a God who's wore the same outfit for millenia a new costume just because he's joined a group of mortals is beyong me though.

[RogueDK]

I like the stenciled wings on the helmet actually
I guess I'm too much of a staunch traditionalist when it comes to certain comic book characters. I hate that stencilled helmet look-God, I hate the helmet. :doh:

If Thor has wings on his gear, Cap should as well. Will I get it to a satisfactory capacity? Odds say that I won't.

Probably why me and son are looking more forward to Thor coming out than we are Cap because of the sketchy information on the costumes to our knowledge.

The kid said many months ago that he would boycott Thor if Marvel came with the Ulty look...as if the money was coming out of his own pocket in the first place. :hehe:

[hippie_hunter]

Aquaman. IMO, he's only cool when he has the beard. All other times he's "That guy who can't do s***."

[Webhead2006]

saw the article the other day about the costumes. sounds pretty good to me. so it does seem for thor himself to probably be copiol design with maybe some classic elements there as for the warrior's three i dont really know their looks so i am sure they will be good looking too. Really cant wait for first photos of all the costumes.

[superkong 500]

Well we already know that thor will have chainmail covering his arms and probably his legs. However i wonder what kind of chain mail i hope its not regular circular shaped rings. I'am sure it will be like the ones in the Copiel design, but how will that hug the arms and legs? Thor needs to have that superhero shape.

The chainmail has to be formfitting you know, stretched around the body. I guess and I hope that the costume designers have found a way to achieve that. Maybe Hemsworth will wear some sort of spandex or licra leotard and the chain mail will be on top of that and the spandex underneath will hold the armor pieces together or something if that makes any sense.

[antmanx68]

If the armored limbs don't show any muscle definition that's OK. Even movie armor doesn't really work like that. I think even if he has massive armored arms and legs that don't show muscle definition it will still visually communicate that he is "strong". I really hope whatever armor they have him wearing looks very functional and not cosmetic.

Most PLATE maile uses Chain Maile as a base in northern Europe. It doesn't really matter what the shape of the plate is.
The Square plate is more a Asian type armor. I don't recall exactly how the plates are connected on Asian plate, but the Scalloped plates have two "finger like" pieces that wrap around the chain maile.

[Webhead2006]

maybe it will end up just being some sort of fabric designed to look like chainmail?

[rcazzy]

After watching "How To Train Your Dragon" yesterday, the main character's father, Stoick, has a sort of hanging armour in diamond shapes under his belt. I saw it and immediately thought that if it was placed on its side, it would resemble Coipel's armoured Thor look. I think it could work onscreen!

[Vartha]

I want to see How to Train your Dragon Badly!

That does look kind of cool. This is a movie though, they don't need to use real or functional armor. If they go with the current look they could attach plates to spandex sleeves to get that form fitting defined look. It would still look like armor on screen.

See There ARE several Renaissance Faires AND VIKING faires that have the Chain Maile and Plate Maile.
You can even get the armor on line.
I made a Ring maile vest alittle like that myself

[TheCorpulent1]

It just occurred to me that that scalemail would be perfect for Captain America's costume.

[Vartha]

Well HISTORICALLY Scale or Feather maile didn't exist until AFTER D&D.
There was SCALLOPED Maile though. I can actually see that pattern it the pic being used myself.

I went to Wondercon over the weekend in Sanfrancisco and they had a bunch guys from Marvel Comics (writers) there on a panel. The one guy with Marvel Alex Alonso, or his name is something like that, can't remember, start talking about how the Thor movie is coming along. He was very excited talking about it, he menitoned that the stuff with Thor will blow you away, and its like nothing he has ever seen before, the costumes, the action plans, the look. He didn't want to give to much away but he did mention that they are staying very true to the comic source material, but he says Thor will know doubt please the fans. He also talked a little about Captain America movie and said that it is coming along very nicely.

[Cyclonus]

Yeah, thats the guys name. He was a real cool guy. He seemed really, really excited when he talked about the Thor movie. He mentioned that he is also a huge fan of Deadpool and wants to really have Deadpool in more movies, comic stories, etc. Like before, he didn't say alot about the Captain America movie but he did say that its coming along nicely.But yeah the Thor costume and the look of the Thor movie Axel said it will be great and he said he's excited for the plans on the Avengers Movie and animated series soon coming. I will try to post some pics of me there, Ive never did it on this site before not sure how to do it. I met Lou Farrigno and the old wrestler the Honkey Tonk Man while I was there too.

Thor concept.

[echostation]

did you draw that?, too many lines but good concept overall ilahi

[thorstone]

I considered scales on the upper body. I'm not satisfied with the upper torso as it is.

I feel that pre-Avengers Thor should have a makeshift suit like Whiplash in Iron Man 2; and then he should receive a Mark V style suit built by Stark (and powered by the hammer).

[Wolfman]

Blasphemy!

It would be too much if Tony would suit up Thor. Specially if he's possibly making Captain America's shield too.

I very much do not wish anything like that. Good drawing, though.

Thor concept.

That design looks like the Thor of Tron world. Way to scifi for a mythical god of thunder.

[Webhead2006]

i dont really see the need for thor to be suited up by stark myself either. HE will be in some sort of armor like suit from what we know. And thor has the strength and doesnt he have some sort of invul like powers too? so thor wouldnt need to be armored up or have suit change for avengers. Only character suit i see changing in avengers is cap which will probably be a more streamlined suit made out of modern materials and all that.

[kedrell]

^agreed.

[Ace of Knaves]

Thor being suited up and armed by mere mortals?!?!

PAH... blasphemy!

Thor's bare skin can withstand the heat of the sun and nuclear explosions and s***. He doesn't even need any kind of Asgardian armor, let alone anything Stark could come up with.

Looks good, but it doesn't resemble Thor in any way.

[Webhead2006]

thanks corp i thought he could with stand alot of things. i dont know much on thor's powers and all that. And yea if hulk can be running a round in just jeans, and stark in his ironman armor, there is no need for thor to be changed, and really i still say only costume that will probably be different from solo film and avengers film is cap's since we know he is going to at least have 2 suit in his solo film. Then i am sure he is going to be given a modernized sleeker outfit for avengers. Since the suit he is likely going to be in when he "dies" is going to be all beat up and falling apart over 60+ yrs in the ice.

Well said,mate.

I dont understand this thinking that Tony is giving everyone on the Avengers a suit of armor

[John Ryder]

I don't think we want to see a barenaked Thor. Though it would be hilarious if he only had his helmet and nothing else.

[Aesop Rocks]

I highly doubt Thor will come to Earth naked.

He'll have like, a loin-cloth on or something. Naked? Nah, he's not a Terminator.

Lighting bolt hits the ground and reveals a huge naked man on his hands and knees...he stands and looks around menacing...and sees a bunch of young thugs on the street...they see him and approach making fun of him
Thor:"I want your clothes and your boots."

It would be even better if it was Bill Paxton.

I really wish Thors' "arrival" to Earth would be similar to the beginning of War Of The Worlds (2005) with strange lightning and what-not somewhere in the desert. Thor and the Hammer are separated (Stan Lee Cameo here) and Thor, only in a loin-cloth is shot out of the clouds and smacks into the Earth at a bone-crunching speed. Jane finds him and that's how the story starts of Thor on Earth.

happened in a What-if years ago.

ok but do we really expect the Avengers to turn into the Iron Avengers???

[TheCorpulent1]

I neither expect nor want it.

Not at all!

I reaaally hope these ideas are in the movie....

[Aesop Rocks]

I kind of only like mine. ;)

[roach]

well I only liked mine...well the first one was ok...and the second one inspired mine....oh I love them all

[Aesop Rocks]

Roach, I think yours has happened, I just can't pin-point it quite yet. ;)

[Anubis Raptor]

Well Thor's entry to midgard has to be cinematic and cool right?

[thorstone]

I'm thinking the suit in the first film will resemble Night Owl in The Watchmen.

This isn't what I was talking about. 1. Captain America will no doubt receive a new suit from Stark, but it will be scale armor (with a potential flashy Stark paint job). 2. The only character with a power source to power a Stark suit is Thor. 3. The Iron Man films have established that all of Stark's villains are trying to emulate his exoskeleton suit-- I don't see the issue with one hero emulating his suit. 4. Just because Stark makes a suit for Thor, it doesn't mean it has to be a powered exoskeleton-- it could just mean a revision of his scaled armor.


I don't believe that they will take the super natural direction with this character. The super natural and science fiction are like oil and water. Thor should be a themed hero, not a literal god.


There are many potential scientific explanations for Thor's powers:

1. He is a posthuman who arrives from a Norse themed future; like Superman (except for the Norse part), who is perceived as being alien (as any God is alien to Earth) in origin.
2. He is a mutant. Any number of mutant/posthuman abilities could explain the true source of Thor's powers: he could be a technopath or mutant who can build anything (like Forge), he could have magnetism and lightning powers, he could have nearly invulnerable skin or cellular regeneration, he could have the ability to absorb power, etc.
3. He is a mutant who discovers the hammer (of speculative origin) or is led to the hammer during an expedition or is kidnapped by the American gov't and forced to show them how the hammer works (because they know about his powers over machines or power over metals).
4. He is a mutant who builds the hammer and uses it to power an exoskeleton suit (which he also builds)
5. He is a mutant who builds a scaled armor like Night Owl and uses his power of magnetism to fly, deflect bullets, lift otherwise heavy objects, control his hammer, etc.
6. The hammer's power source is inside of it and is the reason it perceived as heavy. I would potentially be some kind of super dense matter is inside, or a black hole.
7. And my favourite, Thor is a mentally divergent mutant who has delusions about being a Norse god in the 21st century (think Twelve Monkeys).

[roach]

dont take this the wrong way...but there is nothing in your post that I want to see in these movies

[Gamma Burst]

Oh my...All these 'potential' explanations are,sorry,ridiculous.Thor is a god from Asgard.It's that simple.

...wow. no.
