The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[sabetoonth]

i see like some fold mail hainging off the head

[louiebling$]

I'd prefer to see them relegate any metal to the credits, personally. Metal loves fantasy and mythology, and that's cool, but I think it'd come off corny in a big-budget film.
I would **** my pants if Dragonforce was in Thor :awesome::awesome::awesome:

[Avengers-Report]

yea i would love if what ever footage does get screened at comic con leaks. But look at least few yrs some things leaked and others didnt.

I am pretty confident footage will be leaked.

[Webhead2006]

we will just have to see what happens. Take for example last yr i believe im 2 stuff leaked, but jonah hex for dc i didnt recall see any of its footage leaking out.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

any one thinkin what im thinkin in that second and rhen thords pic? is that person GREEN?

If your thinking that your post was incoherant then yes!

Those look like ice trolls to me.

[Aesop Rocks]

:funny: :awesome:

Not green; close ups show that they are more of a light blue colour.

[NickNitro]

Wondering why no one poster the Sif Set Pic here yet? HmMmMmMm maybe its in here already and I just missed it.

EDIT: Stupid me found em on the last page. Scrolled too fast I guess :doh:

Maybe they are in the Frost Giants laire???? and Sifs trying to save Thor who obviously seems to be captured.

stupid blurry photos how you ruin me :whatever:

If that's the case then they're rather short for Frost 'Giants' :dry:. My guess is that they could be these guys:

Or some form of miscellaneous monster.

[QUOTE=Aeltri;18430121]If that's the case then they're rather short for Frost 'Giants' :dry:.

Maybe the budget decreed that they couldnt employ the CG required to do the giants justice and so the decision was reluctantly scale them down a bit. Granted, I think we all wanted to see a frost giant of Ymir's size in the movie but we have seen giants of smaller size in the comics-

http://marvel.wikia.com/File:Frost_Giants.jpg


It would explain the number of 'close-to-7-foot' actors that have been cast in the movie; they'll at least still be taller than Thor.

[GhostPoet]

I couldn't be happier about Sif. She looks fantastic. I always prefer my warrior women to be armored up. :)

Still no helmet on thor...sigh...are they waiting to make it the big surprise I wonder...

Dude, those giants were still like 10 to 15 feet in the issue. Balder was jumping off of trees just to get himself high enough to strike at their heads.

I'd be a bit disappointed if we have human-sized 'giants' in the film. Just make them trolls or something. Then again, those are rough, unedited shots. They might be employing some of the same camera techniques that made the Hobbits appear tiny in Lord of the Rings or something.

They could be stand-ins for the CGI characters I suppose.

[TheCorpulent1]

Do they cast people for that now? I thought CGI stand-ins were things like tennis balls on poles and such.

[GhostPoet]

I know if the film requires extensive hand to hand type battles/interactions they will use stand ins to allow the CGI artists a much easier way to determine the correct animations. All though i'm not sure if they still wear the mo-cap suits or if they use basic costumes that look similiar to the creature they are protraying.

[Aeltri]

i thought i saw like a guy in green with chain mail or other decorative cloth coming off the back of his head, in the corner to the left

and who are they?

'Faeries', specifically Dark Elves.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Do they cast people for that now? I thought CGI stand-ins were things like tennis balls on poles and such.

Sometimes when they are interecting with something a lot they will use an actor in a chromagreen suit.

[Figs]

They did that for District 9 if you watch the behind the scenes stuff.

[S.A.A.D.]

Metal music should have no business being in a movie like Thor,it's not what his character or the other characters from his world are about. It would be highly out of place.

[sabetoonth]

i notice the guy laying on the ground looks a lot like a blueish version of the rock troll heroclix i got recently from the HoT

[Webhead2006]

yea sif looks pretty cool i cant wait to see a better quality image of her. As for those creatures i do wonder what they are, and if they are frost giants maybe they will be digitally altered to look bigger.

[sabetoonth]

they may be rock trolls, cuz my HoT rock troll is red, otherwise no difference

[Webhead2006]

maybe that.

[strikezone89]

Probably been posted but here:
http://i49.tinypic.com/25a5gus.jpg

[Webhead2006]

yea it was posted here and in First look thor ET thread. Heimdall looks great.

[Spider-Vader]

I wonder how long this movie's gonna be?

[Webhead2006]

i would bet anywhere between 2hrs to 2hrs-10mins.

Costume Details for THOR's "Warriors Three"?

http://b.scorecardresearch.com/b?C1=8&C2=6035047&C3=445.9429&C4=ad20487b&C5=152136&C6=160tjp9049449o&C7=http%3A//**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/%3Fa%3D19258&C8=Costume%20Details%20for%20THOR%27s%20%22Warrior s%20Three%22%3F&C9=http%3A//**************.com/&C10=1280x800&rn=244182 About 3 months ago, before the first footage, the costumehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=19258#) concept renderings, and the first official image, all we had were rumors, and One particular overlooked description of the costume (http://www.**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=16372) that would soon be donned by Chris Hemsworth (http://**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=19258#) as the son of Odin, for Marvel’s much anticipated “THOR” movie (http://**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=19258#).

The source, user ‘IndustryKiller’ from AICN, included in the rundown that Thor was “complete with cape, chain mail arms, and the circles going down the front of the torso”. Now having official material released, that description is clearly spot on. ‘IndustryKiller' sources his matrial by saying, "When you live in LA (stuff) just floats around. You have friends working on this or that or whatever. You don't have to be a mover and shaker to see stuff".

Well ‘IndustryKiller’, seemed very amenable in sharing everything (http://**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=19258#) he saw, with the other members of the site. With this too being overlooked, for three months. IndustryKiller gave somewhat of a description of the supporting actors in costume as Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg, together the "Warriors Three".

On Joshua Dallas in costume as Fandral "the Dashing", ‘IndustryKiller’ says...
Fandral was dressed straight up Errol FLynn. A dark greenish blue, if I recall correctly, but it's some kind of blue hue color scheme. (Like Thor) he also has a cape and long sleeves. His hair is blonde like the comic and he also has the classic swashbuckler facial hair.

On Tadanobu Asano in costume as Hogun "the Grim"
Hogun (was) straight up Mongol, a dark blue (color scheme), whose armor has an almost samurai hint to it but there are no hanging cloths or leather like the comic. I didn't see a mongul helmet either as he had pulled back kind of samurai looking hair, nor does he have facial hair.

On Ray Stevensonhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=19258#) in costume as Volstagg "the Valiant"
Volstagg, is a taller Ray Stevenson complete with fake fat suit and long ginger hair and beard, he looks pretty awesome. His suit is a maroonish red and it looks a little more like armor than the other two.

Additionally, 'IndustryKiller' includes that "The costumes are fairly complex and detailed. (They're) a little less traditional to their individual backgrounds than the comic. The motif of (all the Asgardian) suits aren't going for any kind of ACTUAL viking realism but is very skewed into the realm of the comic book world it represents, almost sort of futuristic with an old world Norse flair. They are fairly over the top compared to say, the "realism" of the X-Men wearing leather jumpsuits. Then again, I guess I'm just a comic book fan like that. (Overall) They are as accurate a representation of the source material as we were ever going to get."

I think that was actually posted a while ago

Yea sounds really familiar

[marvel_freshman]

The source posted it 3 months ago, when I first found that costume description for THOR. Some people did what I should have did, and looked for my post by the source. So maybe someone here did that before. But this is news to some people including me.

[Flint Marko]

Another piece of concept art has been released:
http://www.**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19134
...and once again, thor is helmetless. Is anyone else a little bit worried? I keep hearing 'stop complaining, its confirmed' but I cant help but be a little bit concerned here. Looks to me that its not gonna be a prominent part of his costume at all, something he's only gonna wear on certain occasions.

[Webhead2006]

i dont think we have anything to worry, they probably just want to hold off the helmet to comic con among other things like loki and the warriors 3 and all that. Why show everything now. when we have a yr to release.

Looks to me that its not gonna be a prominent part of his costume at all, something he's only gonna wear on certain occasions.

I have no problem with that; I mean, I'm enough of a realist to expect that Hemsworth not going to be wearing it all the time as Thor surely doesnt wear his helmet 24/7 or anything. I dare say that Thor takes it off when he goes to the toilet, when he snuggles up to Sif in bed or when he's just chilling at home. :oldrazz:

I'm fine with the idea that he takes it off, say, when he enters a building. Much like a knight from medeival times. That much has a certain air of regality to it. There's also the distinct possiblity that it gets knocked off in combat. With it being live-action, unless the production gave the helmet a chin-strap [which would look ridiculous] its going to be damn hard to keep on, unlike in the comics were they have the luxury of drawing it atop of Thors head no matter what punishment he takes.

As far as I'm concerned, until proven otherwise, there have been reports of a helmet but Marvel, for whatever reason, are holding back on showing it because they seemingly want to make it a big reveal at some point.

[TheCorpulent1]

It does seem odd that they wouldn't show the helmet in promotional art...

[Webhead2006]

sure it could seem odd, but we still have a yr roughly to film's release they probably have a big huge promotional play in store.

[Surfer]

Is it just me or does this new promotional art look like Thor's boots go higher up on his leg. I mean sure the picture is blurry, but it looks like his boots are covering his knee (more like the comics), rather then being just below the knee like the original concept art. Maybe it is just the angle.

Surfer

[John Locke]

Maybe after Thor defeats Loki and is not longer banished from Asgard Odin gives him the helmet as a reward.

[Sebastos]

"Here's your reward for going into war, a helmet".

lol yeah it does! "Where's my never emptied drynking horn?"

[marvel_freshman]

THOR will have a helmet you guys. The same guy who gave those Warriors Three costumes said...
"It looks literally EXACTLY like the helmet in the comics"

[Vartha]

Yeah we know, we're just wonder why we HAVEN'T seen the helmet yet.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

They're treating this helmet like Two-Face.

[Webhead2006]

yea lol hopefully we will be happy with how it looks on screen once we do see it.

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah we know, we're just wonder why we HAVEN'T seen the helmet yet.

That's just it though, some people seemingly dont know and are interpreting it's absence from the all too few actual images that we've seen of Thor as being proof of some kind of Oliver Stone-esque conspiracy theory about the helmet not being in the movie.

Maybe I've achieved some kind of zen-like mindset due to my advancing years or something, but all I can say to such people is that they simply need to chill.

Not everything has to be handed on a plate to them a full year before the movie comes out.

[Webhead2006]

totally brian. We have only seen part of two scenes from the two ET footage. and one official promo photo. That wont dictate how the whole film's costume will be.

Yeah I know, I'd think we would have seen the helmet at least on the concept art tho.

[Brian Braddock]

Of course, now that I've submitted a post like that, just wait and see how the helmet's not in the movie and I end up looking like an absolute arse.

:D

[Webhead2006]

well hopefully it will be in a good porition of the film.

[sabetoonth]

to be honest, i could live without the helmet, almost maybe prefer no helmet

[Chris Wallace]

It does seem odd that they wouldn't show the helmet in promotional art...

A bit.

[CanaryFan]

to be honest, i could live without the helmet, almost maybe prefer no helmet

Honestly I think you're alone in that!

[afan]

We saw Heimdall(at least I believe it is Heimdall) in the ET footage wearing a helmet very much like his comic book headgear, that at least indicates that helmets are a norm in Asgard. Given that indication why would Thor not also sport his classic helmet?

[S.A.A.D.]

I'm gonna be very pissed off if they don't show Thor with his helmet on at SDCC.

[TheCorpulent1]

While I hope you're right, I can't help playing devil's advocate here: Odin was also shown but he was not wearing a helmet. So who's to say that Heimdall's the norm and not just some wacky guy who happens to wear a helmet, drawing constant ridicule from his fellow, helmetless Asgardians? ;)

[afan]

^"Hey helmet head!"

[Webhead2006]

i really do hope we do get an image of the helmet soon to put an end to the will there or wont there be helmet stuff.

[Moridin]

They're treating this helmet like Two-Face.

They're burning one side of the helmet?!!

*faints from nerd-rage*

[irapogi]

i know right?! burning instead of ACID like in the comics? they're disrespecting Thor's helmet!!! :doh:

... :awesome:

Honestly I think you're alone in that!
and im find with that its not like ima throw a fit if there is a helmet, but i really wouldnt miss it if it isnt there

[Webhead2006]

hopefully like i said the other day we will get a shot soon of thor's helmet to squash this oh he isnt going to wear a helmet stuff lol.

[MikeFrost]

i know right?! burning instead of ACID like in the comics? they're disrespecting Thor's helmet!!! :doh:



Ontop of that, the helmet is organic and not permawhite...

[Shivsguy616]

Honestly I think you're alone in that!

I can comfirm that you are wrong.

[Parker Wayne]

I don't know about that. You're the first one I heard who doesn't prefer the helment. This isn't an issue like Captain America's wings. Thor's helmet is actually importantt to him.

And there was confirmation that it will be in the movie, so I don't know why people are complaining that it won't be.

[sabetoonth]

what i mean is if they dont use the helmet aot or at all it wont bug me, but if they hav the helmet it will be awesome

[Avengers-Report]

They need the helmet, it is a symbol of the character. But at the same time I don't want the studio to force a dumb looking helmet into the movie just because fans are demanding for on. I hope that Thor just uses the helmet for the final battle or whatever, but want it to look good =)

[Webhead2006]

we really need to stop this debate over the helmet i think. As its been pointed out he does have the helmet. We will just have to wait and see how much it is in the film itself.

[Brian Braddock]

Devil's advocate - just what if that was the case? What if they tried to fabricate a helmet but no matter what they tried, it looked awful in live action?

[x-fan]

http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/30239298/aview/1133752694104_casnormanhelmet3.jpg

Quick someone put white wings on this sucker and see if it was hard to do or looks bad, I can't do manips myself sorry.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Devil's advocate - just what if that was the case? What if they tried to fabricate a helmet but no matter what they tried, it looked awful in live action?

Then kenneth Branagh is a lousy film maker, and that's not the case.

[sha1243]

Wow you guys are still talking about the helmet lol. The helmet is defiantly in this movie it might not be shown a lot though but it will be really stupid to give Heimdall a helmet but not Thor, just be patient they have to show the helmet sooner or later.

[Maximillian]

it might not be shown a lot though
Wouldn't make any sense.

[sha1243]

Wouldn't make any sense.
Well from the little stuff that we seen I am going to assume that he is not going to wear the helmet all the time.There's probably going to be two or three scene's in this movie where we see him wear his helmet. Now it makes perfect sense because in Asgard we might see him with the winged helmet for a little while then he gets banished to earth and that's probably going to be the main focus of the movie cause he's learning how to be human and learning how to be a hero then he finds his hammer and puts back on his costume it might be with the helmet or without the helmet. At the end of the movie we might see him with his helmet again.This is only my theory based on what was shown to us already. It just looks like base on the info that we know that there focus is not on the helmet.

[Webhead2006]

yea i really want this debate over helmet to be done with, we know he has it from many many official reports/set reports and all that. So lets move to soemthing else.

[spider-neil]

the 'confirmation' was that a helmet was MADE not confirmation that it was used. in spider-man, webshooters were made but never used. well, we'er definately going to find out on way or the other with comic con.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

They're burning one side of the helmet?!!

*faints from nerd-rage*
No, you just won't see it till the very end and then Thor throws it away. :awesome:

[Brian Braddock]

Then kenneth Branagh is a lousy film maker, and that's not the case.


Branagh would be a lousy film maker if his production team couldnt convincingly translate Thor's helmet into live action? Sorry, but no way is way would that be correct.

Any hypothetical inability to translate, or decsion made to exclude, the helmet from the movie would be just one aspect of the whole production.

How can it be indicative of Branagh being a lousy filmaker?

[The_Mighty_Thor]

How can it be indicative of Branagh being a lousy filmaker?


I believe your statement was what if they couldn't make it look good no matter what they tried. Given the number of viking and sword and sorcery flicks I've seen with great looking crazy helmets that would clearly be a colossal failure on the filmmakers part.

[Brian Braddock]

Sure, you're correct, there have been multitudes of on-screen viking helmets over the years but I've a question for you:-

Just how many films have you seen with someone wearing a helmet exactly like the 616 helmet?

Only reason I'm asking this, and as I said previously I'm just playing Devils Advocate here, is that there may be a small possiblity that the helmet looks great on Thor as drawn on the printed page but a literal translation looks lousy in live action atop of an actors head.

[Judge Holden]

I don't think the 616 helm would look great in live action. It just looks like a dome with wings stuck on the side.

Whereas the King Thor helm looks like the wings were designed as part of the whole helm if you know what i mean? They don't just look stuck on the side of it.

[R_Hythlodeus]

we will see soon enough. helmet or no helmet, I really don't care. Thor isn't about helmets, you know?

[Brian Braddock]

See that's what I'm saying, Judge H - I think we have to prepare ourselves for the possibility that the 616 helmet just may not translate well.

I mean, Kenneth’s a filmmaker not a magician. If they tried it [and by all accounts they have] and it just didn’t work, I’d say they are in a better position to come to that conclusion as opposed to people (myself included) who sit behind a computer and decree that something should be so because they've actually tired it. Theyve actually seen it. Theyve seen it on Hemworth and theyve screen tested it.

The Mighty Thor said that Branagh would be a lousy filmmaker if he couldn’t make the helmet work but I say that is a massive over-reaction. We all want to see the helmet but would we want to see it if it looked ridiculous atop of Hemsworth's head?

[Judge Holden]

Exactly Bri.

I do believe the King Thor helm could work though. The wings are like designed into the helm as guards for the side of his face.

http://i871.photobucket.com/albums/ab274/woodenbear_bucket/MyFirstAlbum/Thor_Helmet_Costume.jpg

I remember on the Jonathan Ross show when Idris Elba was on there Ross whipped his one out and it looked pretty cool. And that was on Jonathan Ross... in one of his fruity suits!

[marvel_freshman]

I'm not having it you can't make helmets look good on screen, judge dread's helmet looked good (for the little time he had it on :cmad: ) also brad pitt's helmet in troy also looked great as did eric bana's.

no excuses, no helmet = FAIL!

[Brian Braddock]

World of difference - those helmets didnt have massive bird wing's on either side of them. ;)

I know the picture that the Mighty Thor posted above was in jest, but still. How's something like that going to mesh with the suit we've seen Hemsworth wearing?

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Same way it does on the pages of the comic!

[antmanx68]

If they made sure to give Heimdall and Loki helmets then I bet Thor will have one too, just frustrating that we haven't seen it yet with.

[Brian Braddock]

Same way it does on the pages of the comic!

Do you really think that what works as an illustration on the printed page always works in the real world?

Seriously?

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Always, no. In this case, yes!

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Besides if it can look this good in plastic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rnTpR4M1ZI

imagine how good it can look in metal!

[Vartha]

Well they HAVE made the classic Helm a Prop you can buy for few hundred bucks. Prob with THAT helm the wings are fiberglass or plastic white.

I really like Coipel's design. It's a cross between the Classic and Lord Thor Helms. If they keep his eyes visible it'd be great.

[Brian Braddock]

If they go for the standard white feather look then I have my doubts about how good it will look in live action, but if the wings were metal, I think it would match up quite well with the movie suit.

Just been reading Thor#610 and the way that helmet looks, in both style and colourisation, would suit me just fine.

[Webhead2006]

yea i doubt they would have the wings be actual feathers and it would be a printed design on metal helm. I really hope a darn image of the film's helmet is released soon so we can finally stop the whole helmet crap. I am getting a little sick of it all.

[Vartha]

lol Well at least a few pics of the rest of the cast at least would do me just fine if we have to wait for the helmet.

[Chewy]

Marvel's partnership with the fast food conglomerate Burger King isn't limited to toys based off of their film characters, though undoubtedly they are the most sought after. Kids, collectors and comic fans have been flocking to the popular restaurant chain to get their hands on any and all Marvel related merchandise for years, including toys based off of Marvel's Super Hero Squad and The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon series. Marvel Studios' next live action film, THOR, will of course influence a new line of Kid's Meal toys; but which parts of the highly secretive movie will be represented?

Thanks to a member of the product development team, we now have a rundown of what toys will become available around the time the film hits theaters next summer. Here are the descriptions of the six items:

1) Mighty Thor Figure - The God of Thunder articulated in full costume with helm; Pose-able

2) Mjolnir "Lighting" Shooter - Thor's mystical hammer with the ability to shoot multiple "lighting" discs

3) Lady Sif Headdress - A miniature replica of the ceremonial helm worn by Sif in the film

4) "Rainbow" Ring - Unlock the secrets of the Bifrost Bridge, the gateway of the Gods of Asgard

5) Loki Figure - The God of Mischief casts a spell to "multiply" himself before your eyes

6) The Destroyer - Asgard's most powerful weapon, which only Thor may be able to stop; Pose-able

Unfortunately, since these toys are still in the prototype phase of production, they weren't detailed enough that images would do the final products justice. Fans who find themselves lacking the patience should be happy to note that the general public will get a good look at much of the THOR movie tie-in merchandise once the Iron Man 2 DVD/Blu-Ray is ready to hit store shelves.SOURCE (http://**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=19610)

:awesome:

[Webhead2006]

cool news about burger king toys, cant wait to see images of what they looked like.

[Vartha]

Sweet!

[Vartha]

the only Movie sets I completed from BK was the LotR glasses and figures.
Can't wait to try to get all these.

[Spider-Vader]

I'd get glasses, no toys though. I'll save the toys for the Hasbro line.

[Vartha]

Depends on what we see out of the BK line. I want that Mjlonir. lol

[josh77]

Great news!

[sabetoonth]

i cant wait to just see these

[Gamma Burst]

I'll have the Mjolnir!

[sabetoonth]

being able to lift it will be another story though huh? lol

[Gamma Burst]

LOL Dude,If ''Rulk'' can lift Mjolnir, ( arghhhh,Jeph Loeb :barf:) there's no reason a nice guy like me couldn't hehe.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

LOL Dude,If ''Rulk'' can lift Mjolnir, ( arghhhh,Jeph Loeb :barf:) there's no reason a nice guy like me couldn't hehe.

Rulk can not lift Mjolnir dam it! He can only lift Thor while he's holding Mjolnir:doh: It's what they call a Leobnicality:dry:

[Gamma Burst]

Yeah,I tend to forget these Loebnicalities.They make me feel sick :/

[sabetoonth]

Loebnicality? LAME!!!!! nott he name, but they fact they let this kind of farce exist

[TheCorpulent1]

The Burger King toys sound cool. I doubt I'll get any of them, but it'll be fun to see them if I happen to go to a Burger King when the movie is released.

One minor nitpick: "the Bifrost Bridge"? Really? "Bifrost" is the name of "the rainbow bridge." :doh:

[Vartha]

heh Rainbow ring sounds like a left over from Captain Planet. :D

[spider-neil]

1) Mighty Thor Figure - The God of Thunder articulated in full costume with helm; Pose-able


phew!! :woot:
was worried for a time there.

[Vartha]

What YOU Worry? hahaha

Thor wouldn't be Thor without a helmet. I think even people who know about Thor have at one time or other Seen him and recall Mjolnir, the winged Helmet and long blond hair.

[Brian Braddock]

One minor nitpick: "the Bifrost Bridge"? Really? "Bifrost" is the name of "the rainbow bridge." :doh:

I think the key thing about that Corp is that these are for kids and kids sometimes need things to be simplified.

Dont you think its going to be easier for, say, a 6 year old to understand the concept if its established that its a bridge by the use of the word in its name, as opposed to just seeing this rainbow coloured thing called Bifrost?

[Son of Coul]

And just saying "Rainbow Bridge" can turn off boys and many dads of boys.

"Pick a toy."
"Ooo I want the rainbow bridge!"
"THE HELL YOU DO! Give him the lightning shooter."
"But I already have-"
"GIVE HIM THE LIGHTNING SHOOTER."

[Brian Braddock]

Ha ha; I guess it does have certain connotations.

[TheCorpulent1]

And just saying "Rainbow Bridge" can turn off boys and many dads of boys.

"Pick a toy."
"Ooo I want the rainbow bridge!"
"THE HELL YOU DO! Give him the lightning shooter."

I suppose if they're truly massive raging homophobes who've never heard a word of Norse mythology, yeah.

[S.A.A.D.]

I don't get why people hate on people who aren't fans of the homo concept. There are things far worse than something as idiotic as the word homophobia, imo,it's nothing but an excuse for people to support the the homo way due to them being biased. People can be scared of anything they want,and these anti homophobic supporters are no better for supporting it.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, that's certainly one way to look at it. But this isn't the forum for discussing personal politics regarding sexuality, "homo" or any other kind. Just forget either of us said anything and let's get back to discussing Thor.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

If that's the case I don't know if Lightning shooter would go over any better.

[Carlo Comicus]

Confirmed: Kevin Pennington play a young Odin in "Thor" !!!

:P

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm. Did not know a young Odin would factor into the movie at all. I wonder how that works...

[ddddeeee]

Creating the Midgardians probably, the first draft opens with a huge narrated explanation of Asgard, Odin etc. They'll likely use Hopkins for finding Loki I'm sure.

[TheCorpulent1]

That would be cool. I hear they've changed a lot from the first draft, though.

Anyway, is there any chance there will be an ounce of info that will be leaked before Comic Con?

[Parker Wayne]

Double Post

[Webhead2006]

lol carlo.

[SpiderByte]

Seriously, Corp, you really shouldn't have fallen for that.

[Spider-Vader]

I doubt we'll get any more leaks. So far the only leak has been Destroyer.

I'm 99% sure, Marvel purposely released the Cap & Thor pics.

[Vartha]

The Thor pics were from Empire Magazine, they really weren't leaked.

[MikeFrost]

Does anyone know how much the script has changed since the original?

I'm quite fond of the first draft, specially Loki's development...

It's been called Bifrost both in the comics and in mythology. I don't get your complaint.

[Carlo Comicus]

I have heard the script got many changes from the first draft.
I'm looking for this, but i have found only the Cowboys & Aliens new draft.

[ddddeeee]

It's been called Bifrost both in the comics and in mythology. I don't get your complaint.

Because calling it the 'Bifrost Bridge' is the same as saying the 'Mjolnir hammer'. The hammer is actually called Mjolnir so the hammer part is completely unneeded. Same applies here.

Wow. For your next trick are you going to defend racism?

[S.A.A.D.]

No.

[Saint]

No.

Ah, so you feel that fear and ignorance are only defensible when directed at homosexuals, then.

[S.A.A.D.]

No,there is no point of going further into this discussion here since it's not the right place to do it and since even if it was that you wouldn't understand my two cents on the subject matter.

[Aesop Rocks]

Ladies, ladies! calm down!~

Bravo! Great defence(!)

[Shivsguy616]

Bigotry and intolerance aren't exactly defensible points of view

[Spider-Vader]

........How 'bout dat Thor?

[Parker Wayne]

Bigotry and intolerance aren't exactly defensible points of view

I wouldn't really listen to S.A.A.D, guys. He is just further proof that 12 year olds shouldn't be posting on the internet.

You already gave your two cents on the matter, and I understood it perfectly. Let's recap:

There are things far worse than something as idiotic as the word homophobia, imo,it's nothing but an excuse for people to support the the homo way due to them being biased.
Ignorance.

People can be scared of anything they want,
Fear.

Yes, I seem to have understood. Indeed, given the comments above, my capacity for understanding appears superior to your own. It is true, though, that it would be fruitless for you to continue this discussion, because your position is completely ridiculous.

[Steve Holt]

is it me, or is this thread not about thor?

[Aesop Rocks]

........how 'bout dat thor?

dat thor

[Silvermoth]

I wouldn't really listen to S.A.A.D, guys. He is just further proof that 12 year olds shouldn't be posting on the internet.

Ha! I thought the same thing! Still, even for a 12 year old that's a pretty stupid thing to say.

Anyway, back to Thor. Do we have any idea who's composing for the film yet?

[Brian Braddock]

Cant believe the rumpus on here surrounding 'homo's; after all, we're all homo's. Each and every one of us.

Homo Sapiens.

:oldrazz:

[CanaryFan]

I can't believe some people are derailing one of the greatest threads on the hype with all this crap!

[Ahura Mazda]

I do not come in here to read about people's personal issues but rather for news on Thor. Could we please get back to the point in question.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, please. Any further deviations regarding SAAD's comments will be met with infractions. We have other forums to discuss whatever personal views you may have on a broad range of subjects; this forum is for Thor.

[Webhead2006]

Yea we need to get back to thor talks. Hopefully we will have more to talk about once comic con starts up in a few weeks.

[TheCorpulent1]

I was really psyched about this weekend because I thought SDCC was early in July. I damn near cried when I realized I'd have to wait another 2 weeks for it. :csad:

[Son of Coul]

And we don't even know what day of Comic-Con it is, could be on the last day for all we know (though unlikely). Boy that's rough.

[TheCorpulent1]

Hopefully, the sheer quantity of stuff we get to see--not just for Thor, but for the myriad comic-related movies and shows and such coming up--will make up for it. I'm particularly looking forward to a full trailer (fingers crossed!) for Thor.

[Son of Coul]

Me too, I'm hoping it'll leak a bit sooner than IM2's footage though.

[Judge Holden]

So, do you guys reckon there will actually be footage of Thor at Comic-Con?

[TheCorpulent1]

I sure as hell hope so, otherwise this thread is gonna be pretty dead. :csad:

[Judge Holden]

Yea :(

Let's will it to be true then! There will be footage at comic con... there will be footage at comic con... THERE WILL BE ****ING FOOTAGE AT COMIC CON!!!!!!

:thor:

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know if the arcane forces of fate appreciate cursing, dude. :csad:

[Judge Holden]

Damn... my passion got the better of me!

[The_Mighty_Thor]

I don't know if the arcane forces of fate appreciate cursing, dude. :csad:

Then they should bring forth footage of Thor from comicon before the netherworlds are flooded with the sounds of a billion cursing tongues!:awesome:

[Chewy]

The question here is how many days it'll take for a bootlegged version to leak. I'm going to go with 1.

[ddddeeee]

I'm 100% sure Thor will have footage. If Iron Man 2 could and it began shooting 2 months after Thor then Thor should definitely have a trailer. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

The question here is how many days it'll take for a bootlegged version to leak. I'm going to go with 1.
I'm kind of hoping the trailer, at least, won't be SDCC-exclusive. It seems like something they'd want to release to everyone. I could see extra footage or behind-the-scenes stuff being kept exclusive, but a full trailer? They'd be crazy not to let that out to all the fans who are anxiously awaiting anything from the film.

[louiebling$]

I'm 100% sure Thor will have footage. If Iron Man 2 could and it began shooting 2 months after Thor then Thor should definitely have a trailer. :up:
Uhh Thor filmed Before IM2??? :huh:

You sir have your info mixed up

[Chewy]

He is speaking relatively. The time between start of filming and comic con in the respective years

[Keyser Soze]

I'm going to San Diego Comic Con. I won't have internet access until I get back to Scotland on Tuesday 27th July. But once I return I'll try to write up a detailed report of whatever footage they show for Thor and other relevant films.

[TheCorpulent1]

I have a feeling most of the news sites will beat you to it by then, but I'll look forward to your opinions on it. :up:

[S.A.A.D.]

I still have a bad feeling that no Thor footage will be unveiled at SDCC. And certainly with no helmet in sight.

[Keyser Soze]

I have a feeling most of the news sites will beat you to it by then, but I'll look forward to your opinions on it. :up:

Yeah, I was late to the game last year too, with my Iron Man 2 report, but I tried to make up for it by going as in-depth as I could. I'll try to do the same this year...

[Webhead2006]

yea we are bound to have footage at the con. as for it getting leaked, and if it is how long it will be online is the only question.

[Webhead2006]

[Son of Coul]

I'm not even reading the descriptions, just gonna wait for the bootleg footage. I blew the IM2 footage by reading about it and while it was still very cool to see there weren't any surprises for me.

[Spider-Vader]

I still have a bad feeling that no Thor footage will be unveiled at SDCC. And certainly with no helmet in sight.

Marvel's released new footage for their next movie ever since 2006 (I think) with Spidey 3. If not that then 2007 with Iron Man. They'd be foolish not to do it now, especially when they need to start marketing Thor like they did with IM.

[Figs]

I still have a bad feeling that no Thor footage will be unveiled at SDCC. And certainly with no helmet in sight.

I have a good feeling they'll show some footage. Don't they always show a teaser at the convention the year before the film is released?

If they do in fact show footage, i'd bet money that it will show Thor with his helmet in one of the last shots, somewhat of a money shot to get the fans going ape ****.

Even if they don't show the helmet i'll still be excited to see any type of footage.

[Verbal21]

Exactly. With Thor being their next big release, it'd be pretty dumb NOT to show any footage to stir up more hype for this movie during SDCC.

[TheCorpulent1]

Especially since Thor kind of needs the publicity, as opposed to Iron Man 2 or the Spider-Man movies. Thor is still an unknown quantity to a lot of potential viewers, so a big marketing campaign that starts relatively early makes sense for him.

[Doctor Jones]

Thor will have footage. If not it is a huge mistake and Marvel knows it. They're gonna promote it like IM if they're smart, and they are.

[Weadazoid]

Thor has been wrapped for quite some time at this point. They may even have a full fledged trailer for CC.

[Webhead2006]

i really thought its been said there is a panel and we are due to see footage.

[S.A.A.D.]

Man,reading the SDCC list makes me want to bash my head on the table. It's gonna be loaded with a bunch of lame stuff imo,with the exception of the Green Lantern movie stuff,too much time will be wasted in my mind. I feel so pissed off right now,no mention of Thor.

Not sure if you read a more in depth lineup but the one that the Hype posted on the front page I thought only had the first day's lineup. Out of that lineup the only thing that interested me was The Expendables sadly. Movie looks fun and badass but at SDCC I want more comic related films...that's what it used to be about I thought. Personally, I don't like how it got more mainstream in regards to showing stuff a whole lot of other films...like Twilight. :doh:

As much as I want to see Tron Legacy and Scott whatever,enough people know about them,why the hell do they get to hog up presentation time? And then there's the uber generic looking Red movie,big whoopdy doo dah. I'm still at the point where I barely even give a damn about the Expendables movie. What the,a Twilight movie was a part of SDCC once? :csad:

Crap,I had a bit more hope,until I reread what you said about the whole lineup list.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, despite the name, SDCC has gone way beyond comics to become a general geek haven for years now. Any and everything geeky (yes, including Twilight and its tween girl geeks) can get a spot there. I'm sure Thor will get his time, and Marvel as a whole will definitely have lots of panels and such. Shouldn't be a big deal.

I think a couple of years actually. The last one was when Cameron showed off about 20 minutes of Avatar footage to the crowd. I remember because a lot of fans were pissed, they had gone primarily to see that but the majority of people in the front of the line that filled up the auditorium were twilight fans...who stayed afterwards to watch the Avatar footage as a bonus. The ***** of the thing was that when interviewed, some of the Twilight fans were saying how much they loved the setup for Twilight and that they stayed for this "Avatar thing" just because. I remember a number of fans who were actually there and commenting on the hype got pissed when they heard that since they missed out.:hehe:


Corp, yeah I know over time it's become a show for all types of geeks but I still wish it would mainly stick to comics, sci-fi and fantasy. I can't wait to see the schedule for the rest of the days. I want to know when Thor and Green Lantern will have their presentation. The hype is going to be going down a lot during that time I think.

[Judge Holden]

How does Red look generic? It's got Dame Helen Mirren with a pair of ****ing sub machine guns and John Malkovich running down the street screaming like a banshee with bombs strapped to him.

Generic? Not at all. Completely ****ing awesomely insane? Hell yes.

[TheCorpulent1]

No doubt. Even more so than with Iron Man. He's super cool in concept, a billionaire playboy in an armored suit. Thor, in concept, won't draw the general public. They need to show how awesome he is, because at the end of Iron Man 2 when my buddy was all "ok, a hammer, so the next bad guy uses a hammer?" and I told him it was Thor and described who he was, he was kinda :hehe:.

But I know it'll be a good movie, Marvel just needs to showcase it properly!

[Ahura Mazda]

I just hope that the Thor showing in SDCC will be Friday or Saturday given it is not on Thursday. I unfortunately have to catch my plane Sunday morning.

[Chewy]

From SDCC's Friday schedule:
11:15-12:15 Marvel Interactive: Marvel Video Games— Learn all about Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Super Hero Squad Online, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Thor and and other new games via exclusive trailers, surprise reveals, and Q&A with the game creators, as well as the Marvel writers working on the next wave of Marvel Games from some of the industry's top publishers. Room 6DE

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh yeah, I forgot they were making a video game to tie into the film. Should be interesting to see that. I hope it's good, but experience has taught me that that hope will likely be in vain. Movie-based games traditionally suck, especially games based on Marvel's movies. :o

[Chewy]

Spider-Man 2 was good :o

But yeah, 99% chance it'll be awful

[TheCorpulent1]

The exception proves the rule. I don't actually know what that means, but I think it's appropriate here. :oldrazz:

Dude. If SDCC is anything like last year the Good stuff happens on the weekend. You will most likely see Thor stuff on Saturday.

Maybe. I thought the Spider-Man games were great. The next-gen version of TIH was pretty good. Iron Man was....well....fun for 10 minutes. But yeah, it likely wont be good. X-Men Origins Wolverine Uncaged was a surprise though. But if the Thor game is being done by Sega.....I don't think it has a chance.

[TheCorpulent1]

Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 were pretty good. The rest of the Marvel games, the best I can say is that some were just boring as opposed to actually terrible. Not that any other movie tie-in games are universally great, either. I shouldn't have singled out Marvel's specifically.

[Spider-Vader]

The problem with movie games is that they don't have long to make the game. Usually a year or less. The Wolverine game was only good because Raven just happened to be working on a Wolverine game before the movie was announced.

[Webhead2006]

yea tie in games are usually not that great. But cant wait to see what comes from thor at comic con.

[Son of Coul]

If they're actually showing stuff from the game, you'd think they'd schedule the Thor movie panel beforehand, as not to reveal stuff from the movie in game form but rather, y'know, in the actual movie form.

[Avengers-Report]

2 weeks until Comic-Con people. Time to see some Thor footage =)

[Vartha]

Battle for Asgard wasn't all bad, and the main character can be used as Thor. Who knows? Thor might be ok

Are you talking about that game Viking: Battle for Asgard? I tried playing it but I got bored like two hours in. It was just very repetitive to me, and the story wasn't really good enough to save it.

So we're gonna get some Thor on saturday!

6:00-7:00 Marvel Studios: Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger— Producer Kevin Feige and special guests give you an inside look at the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hall H

I'm pretty sure Branagh and Hemsworth are all but sure things for the panel. And hopefully Johnston and Evans will be on there for Cap since there probably won't be much if any footage.

[TheCorpulent1]

Evans should make that panel pretty entertaining.

I like games that you can actually EXPLORE the worlds. Yeah it can be repetitive, but, the look of the whole game was great to me.
Beowulf the movie game I'm still working on. Haven't played enough to judge, but I liked the look of it and for 5 bucks it's not bad. :woot:

Haha, for $5, few things are. :D

I'm a little disappointed, an hour isn't much time to cover two movies and show some good footage. I've never been to one of these panals, does this sound about right for a movie panal? Was Ironman and Ironman II 1/2 a hour each or were they longer. Anyway I'll have several windows open up at 7:00 on Saturday to see where the footage shows up first.

I think they were around a 1/2 hour each. I think Cap's could be a bit shorter since they're in the beginning stages of shooting the movie and all.

I think I will skip the Comic Con news on purpose so I can be more excited when I watch the trailer afterwards....at least, I hope there is a trailer.

Lol sorry, I find this to be one of the most hilariously classic fanboy comments ever.

"I mean, I'd be excited for some Thor vision, but i'm only really invested in this fillum for the HELMET. Cha, why do you think i'm gonna see Cap, FOR THE STORY? HA! Its all about the wings, baby!"

When the **** did I say I was only interested in the helmet???

I said I would be excited to see any footage but the helmet would be a nice bonus.

[Webhead2006]

nice to have official confirmation of thor's comic con panel and it being on the saturday of comic con. cant wait to see/hear what happens in their panel.

[Spider-Vader]

I don't see why Thor's helmet would be the money shot. I think a shot of Thor leaping towards a Frost Giant would be the money shot.

[Doc Ock]

I honestly hope Thor doesn't have a helmet, i've never liked it in the comics. :O

I don't see why Thor's helmet would be the money shot. I think a shot of Thor leaping towards a Frost Giant would be the money shot.

I second that.:up:

half an hour each is pretty standard, sometimes they do run long. also, while it's possible, i wouldn't get my hopes up too high about the footage popping up online right away. there will be a lot of detailed descriptions though.
