If they go same actor it's a Clark Kent ripoff... do we really need a 6'3 ripped guy trying to act like a 5'9 crippled, frail human being. You want them to body double and CGI the whole thing throughtout the film? If they are faithful they'll use someone different... even if it's cheezy.

If Marvel had the money, I say Benjamin Button it.
They might just have him crash as Thor and in the final Battle, he survives by inhabiting another person's body. We just see a comatose person's eye open.
In the Avengers, we have the person claiming to be a God, but no one believes him.
Katsuro
05-20-2009, 03:04 AM
They should use the same actor. It shouldn't be hard to make the difference between Thor and Blake apparent. Use camera tricks to make him look smaller, obviously he'll have shorter hair, and if the actor does his job right, he'll seem like a completely different person, and yet still be enough of the same person for the audience to believe it. You gotta keep the audience invested in the character, and it's a bit tougher to do when he switches actors back and forth.
I mean, we can assume the movie will spend a decent amount of time with Thor as Blake, so I dont think they'll want some other actor playing their lead role for a large portion of the film.
Vartha
05-20-2009, 04:35 AM
Well in the first draft while Thor's been banished to earth all Odin does is strip Thor of his godly powers and immortality and he doesn't hide the fact he calls himself Thor, nobody believes he IS a god which is the only HINT of Ulty Thor we see.
I can't say what happens in the future as to why Blake is involved. Haven't seen ANY of the newer Rewrites.

Personally I don't really want Thor to have a "secret identity". I was never particularly fond of his alter egos. If Blake needs to be in the movie, and I'm not sure he does, this is how I've previously suggested they handle it:
Have two different stories.One being the actual Asgard story and in the other Blake is being haunted by stange visions and dreams of his former life to the point where his friends and collegues think he's losing his mind. And finally he feels compelled to travel to a small Norwegian village and wander off in to the wilderness where he finds a cave. There he digs through the rubble with his bare hands until he finally -exhausted and with bloody hands- finds Mjolnir. And when he touches the hammer there's a bringht light and we see the final flashback from Asgard where he's being send to Earth to learn humility and to protect the people of Midgard. When we return to the cave Blake has turned into Thor and he now remembers everything.
In the seguel I'd like to see him be Thor full time, kind of like he was in the Ultimates, and interact with his old friends who don't know what to think of him now that he has come back with super-powers and claims to be an ancient being from mythology.
If that was the way they did the Blake/Thor connection, I think it would work best with just one actor. Especially since I'd love to see Thor hanging out with people from Blake's life, and for that to really work Thor can't really be a completely different person. He'd have to still be recognizable as the Donald Blake they knew. And I think that would be more entertaining than the secret identity thing, which has been done numerous times with numerous other characters.

Different actors for Blake and Thor. Hemsworth should bulk up a bit and someone shorter and smaller should play Blake. Thor's more Captain Marvel/Billy Batson than Superman/Clark Kent. There's an actual physical transformation that takes place when he switches back and forth--one's a human body, the other's a god's body.
RaZaTrOn
05-20-2009, 10:28 AM
Definatly different people. Just with a bit of a similar look. Because at the end of the day they are different people/god.
I think it's best represented in the new Thor comic.
TheCorpulent1
05-20-2009, 10:31 AM
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the whole humility aspect. Blake was meant to instill humility in Thor, so he sort of needs to be frail and weaker than average. Turning a god into a human and wiping his memory only works to instill humility if he faces adversity as that human. If Thor gets turned into a human who looks as buff and handsome as his godly self, he doesn't really learn anything.
Vartha

Corp the way it was written in the first draft it plays out very well and he does learn humility. YOU didn't want to know what was going on my friend. :D

Thor and Blake aren't as different as Banner and Hulk, so I don't see the need to cast two actors for these two roles. With the right makeup and movie magic, Thor can look like Blake, and vise versa.

Nope. In the comics, Odin modeled Blake on a real human being named Keith Kincaid, so Blake would look like that human, not Thor. Blake may have only just become a fully separate personality in the current volume of the comics, but Blake and Thor have always been totally separate bodies, at least.

Didn't know that.
I don't really see the point of casting an actor for Blake who looks a lot like the actor for Thor. If they are doing the whole Blake/Thor secret id thing it would seem to me Blake should look very different.
TheCorpulent1
05-20-2009, 10:39 PM
If Blake is just tacked on at the end to show how Thor winds up on present-day Earth, it doesn't really matter who they cast. That's why I wouldn't even mind Branagh himself playing the role. Barring that, just cast any young actor of average height with an average build, give him a cane and some hair dye if necessary, and shoot his 5 minutes of screentime over a day. Simple. I just don't think Thor and Blake should be played by the same actor because that's not true to the characters.

It may not be a "secret identity" story. It might be more like the Ultimate version and Donald Blake simply finds the hammer, turns into Thor and stays that way. That's the option I'd prefer. We've seen heroes struggle to hide their identities for ages now. And, IMO, it's been done with more interesting alter egos than Dr Blake. I'd rather see him interact with Jane Foster and his old friends who don't know what to think of this new bizarre version of the man they love. I think that would make a better sub-plot than having Donald Blake sneak away all the time to change his identity like pretty much every other superhero.
TheCorpulent1
05-30-2009, 11:15 AM
The less Ultimate influence, the better. I love the element of a god being bound to a frail human as penance for his arrogance, and you need two physically different actors for that. So I'm hoping for separate actors.

I really don't see the point of casting two actors for the dual role of Thor/Blake, because I want the same actor who not only play the meaty part of the Mighty Thor, but also the quieter scenes of Blake where he can get most of the acting chops in. Perhaps there will be some similarities with Clark/Superman, but since it's a film there will be some modification to the character anyway. I trust Branagh to do the right thing for this issue.
TheCorpulent1
05-31-2009, 11:32 AM
Ideally, the movie would feature a well-rounded Thor first and foremost, so Hemsworth would have more than enough to work his acting chops on in that role. Blake doesn't really need to have a huge presence; he's basically just Thor's reason for hanging around Earth and empathizing with humans.

Well, Thor was put in the form of Siegfried and Siegmund from the Nibelung Saga before he was banished as Blake. Maybe they're going to bring him to Earth in the distant past as one of those earlier forms. Or they could use Jake Olson or Eric Masterson.

Canis Sapiens
06-06-2009, 03:17 PM
Maybe he is sent here with all his memories, but none of his powers. Then people think he's a crazy dude claiming he's the God of Thunder and put him in an Asylum or something that incapacitates him for a while. Then comes that part on the summary of the plot: "Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth."
But of course, I've been wrong before...
TheCorpulent1
06-06-2009, 03:20 PM
Geez, people are really intent on painting Thor as a crazy person. I guess that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but I wouldn't particularly want to see it.
Canis Sapiens
06-06-2009, 03:27 PM
I'm not saying that's what I'd like to see, but "he-must-be-crazy" powerless Thor would kind of make sense to me if they're making an amalgam of 616 and Ultimate Thor (as they did with Iron Man and Hulk). People doubting Thor's sanity is a big part of the Ultimate version, and since we won't have Blake...
Anubis

If they preserve the way Thor reacts to things just as it was in the 1st draft, he won't be a whiner. :oldrazz: He handles it all with a lot of bravery and dignity.Like, to show that he doesn't depend solely on his powers to be a true god.

In Hulk, the fact that Hulk himself was a side effect of Banner trying to emulate Cap's super soldier serum. That scene with Bruce falling from the helicopter, too.
In Iron Man, apart from Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, the fact that everybody knows Stark is Iron Man right from the start. They even hint at 616 when the Shield guy wants Tony to tell the press Iron Man is his body guard.
Not exactly amalgam, I see, but you can spot some bits of the Ultimate-verse here and there...
TheCorpulent1
06-06-2009, 03:56 PM
Well, if Thor gets such tiny Ultimate elements, I wouldn't really mind. The vast majority of what I saw in the Hulk and Iron Man movies was true to the 616 versions, which is part of why I enjoyed them so much. :up:
Canis Sapiens
06-06-2009, 04:10 PM
Yeah, I really, really think (and hope) Thor's gonna be mostly 616 too. :up:
People involved in the movie are always talking about Simonson and Kirby as main influences (although that writer talked about the Ultimates vol. 2's final battle last week).
But reading some forums and stuff I noticed that people doubting Thor's godly nature (and maybe his sanity, until he displays his powers) is an ultimate concept that the majority of fans accepted.
TheCorpulent1
06-06-2009, 04:14 PM
Well, people doubted his godly nature in the 616 universe too, but it wasn't taken to the extremes that the Ultimate universe took it to. You know, Thor was never actually locked up in a mental institution or anything in the 616-verse.

Yeah, it wasn't the subject of an arc or anything, it was just in the background a few times over the decades.

In the Ultimate Universe he was a male nurse who who suffered from severe depression and got locked up in a crazy house. Then one day he started saying he was Thor and suddenly had the power to back that claim up.
Then Loki showed up and started screwing with reality, making it seem like his brother really was just some crazy nurse who stole his super scientist brother's special belt and hammer.

Yeah, I remember that, and that's where I see a parallel that could be explored in the movie. See, in the 1st draft, a powerless Thor becomes a slave in viking times Earth Since we know that, after the changes in the script, he will probably learn his humility lesson in modern times, I think being locked up without his powers and believed crazy is a tough lesson of humility, as tough as becoming a slave - but of course, they can't make Thor a slave in modern times
TheCorpulent1
06-06-2009, 04:48 PM
I guess that could be cool. The thing I like about Blake is the Blake/Thor dynamic and how their personalities complement and contrast each other's, but that would be a bit too involved to get into in a movie that should ideally be about Thor kicking ass. Crazy guy in a mental institution as a metaphor for powerlessness works pretty well in a more simplistic fashion.

Now that I think of it, I see that The Ultimate-verse idea I was referring to was Thor learning his humility lesson by being locked up as a crazy person, and not people doubting his godly nature. It's all clear to me now. :oldrazz:

It's kind of different. Blake is not a secret identity ala Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker or Clark Kent. He's note even an alter ego, ala Bruce Banner. He's a totally different person, whose main purpose, IMO, is to serve as a weakness to an all-powerful god and being a down-to-earth, more relatable character for the audience. You don't learn more about Thor by watching Blake's life.
I think they can make Thor a more relatable and vulnerable character without needing to go all the Billy Batson route. So, I don't think Don Blake is necessary in this movie.

I'd really like for Donald Blake to be in the film... even if he's just used at the beginning until Thor regains his memory of who he actually is.

He's a totally different person, whose main purpose, IMO, is to serve as a weakness to an all-powerful god and being a down-to-earth, more relatable character for the audience. You don't learn more about Thor by watching Blake's life.
I think they can make Thor a more relatable and vulnerable character without needing to go all the Billy Batson route. So, I don't think Don Blake is necessary in this movie.
Blake is Thor's humanity given life, basically. So you do learn more about Thor by watching Blake. He's also not a weakness so long as they leave the 60-second rule off the hammer, which I think would be a good idea anyway.

I think every Thor fan did. Only Thor writers seemed to like it.

I'd say use the same actor. As has been said before, using two different actors would be too Hulk-ish, and Hemsworth isn't big enough to make the transition look that dramatic anyway. If he was some 6' 9" body builder then there'd certainly be a noticeable difference, but Hemsworth is more of the strong looking athlete type. If the only way to make fans happy is to have Blake be a scrawny twig compared to Thor, then I'd say it's probably better to not even bother having him in the movie. However, if Thor has no plain clothes disguise whatsoever, it might be difficult to avoid silly antics every time there's not an action scene going on. He could use the Donald Blake name as his alias when he's in regular clothes and not doing his superhero schtick, just as a little nod.

Despite not actually reading many Thor comics I think some sort of middle ground can be reached. What if Thor was just one guy and was trapped in the body of frail middle aged man. No alternate personality. Just a prison... made of flesh...
Like the last scene of the movie could be Thor being banished to earth and he wakes up in the body of a patient who was clinically dead (coma). The patient being... Dr. Donald Blake. Let's say the original Blake was an ******* and this everyone treats Thor as such
But if Blake is not in the movie. What the hell is Jane Foster doing there?

probably not the thread for it but the ultimate thor was confusing, they made out his (thor) power was in his costume and indeed when they gave his costume to someone else the new prson displayed lightning powers, but this makes no sense if thor is really a god and his power resides within himself.

I could see them simply having Thor himself fall in love with Jane and she consequently teaches him about the better points of humanity. No Blake needed.

So what happened to that whole "The Movie Takes Place in Asgard/Ancient Times" thing? If Foster is there...

i like the idea of thor wearing normal clothes(when not in action) and using Blake as alias

It's hard enough to buy the concept of Supes disguising himself behind a pair of glasses and nobody noticing it... let alone a huge long haired blond guy with nordic features, speaking in Shakespearean English, who happens to disappear every time Thor is around...:oldrazz:
Thing is, in my opinion, Thor doesn't need any secret identity.

TONIGHT ON HOUSE
Alison Cameron: Blake! This patient appears to be showing signs of liver failure. His skin tone has become pale. There is immense hammeroge in the left chest cavity. Your diagnosis?
Blake: Verily. Tis appears to be the vile trickery of my evil half-brother Loki! I shall get some herbs! This mortal has naught long to live
Alison: :confused: Excuse me?
Blake: I ... er... <to patient with heavy snark> Well, that's what happens when you too much unprotected sex. I think <medical terminology >
<Patient gets all better>
Eric Foreman: Blake is a medical GOD...
Jane Foster: :lmao: Ya... a god... right :lmao:

Since they have always clearly been two different people in the comics, I vote for two different actors in the movie - and that's IF Blake is even in the movie, which I do not feel is necessary [there were LONG stretches of the comic when he was Thor ALL the time]. Of course, with the casting news of Jane Foster, one would assume Blake is not far behind.
I agree with the above observation that Thor has always been a Captain Marvel clone, not a Super Man one, so keep it that way!
