The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[Surfer]

I like the idea of them trying to move it though and just getting frustrated to the point where they say screw it lets just set up shop here.

Surfer

[The Count]

I feel stupid, but yeah building around it would be the obvious solution as opposed to moving it to a location. Also, when I looked at the picture another time it appears that you are right that they did not move it from it's original location. I was not a fan of the technicallity anyways, as I thought that it would come across really poorly and cheesy, but just pointing it out.

Surfer

It looks like a tent used by forensic investigators with some generic industrial scenery

[Surfer]

I guess the reason why I was thinking they might have moved it to another location was because of the ET footage. In some of that footage it appeared that the facility was a decent sized compound and not just something that was set up overnight. However, in this picture it would appear that it is more a tent or something more temporary. Maybe the two areas are unrelated, other then being shield locations. Any thoughts?

it looks like its a temporary set-up around the hammer (like the one around the meteorite in Evolution) because it cannot be moved

[TheFuture]

I don't think anyone seriously suggested HHH for the role of Thor, not in recent memory anyway, definitely not at the time Marvel was still headhunting for the role. I don't anyone dumped on hemsworth ability to get jacked either. It's a bit of a strawman argument to be honest.

[Optimus_Prime_]

I think Hemsworth may have had some form of steroids or HGH. I normally don't jump to that conclusion in the acting world, but that seems likely with him.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think so. He already seemed to be approaching that size in set photos from the Red Dawn remake, which he finished just a couple of months before starting Thor, and he was already in great shape even before that. I think he just worked his ass off.

[the dmg]

Anyway, SHIELD sets that makeshift base up around Mjolnir for a reason, so I doubt they figure out a way to move it.
That's definitely the vibe I get from the pic.

[Surfer]

There is a new picture in the article Superherohype posted from the Comic Con Floor with the Thor Poster in the background and some metal thing I can't quite make out in the foreground. Anyone have any ideas what that might be?

Surfer

[Surfer]

There is also a picture of Captain America's shield in Ice. I guess that confirms he will be frozen for many years.

They most certainly did; I'm not going to waste my time trawling through threads for them but there were plenty of stupid posts to those effects.

To be sure, there were certain regulars who wanted HHH to get the role back when Skarsgard looked to be the popular choice just as there were also posters who doubted Hemsworths ability to pack on the size, an opinion stupidly based solely off his 5 minutes in Star Trek. When set pictures of a newly buffed up Hemsworth surfaced from Red Dawn, we still got 'yeah, but he's still not Thor big'.

[Surfer]

Here is another one from the Comic Con floor. The part of the asgard throne room set piece.

That actually makes a lot of sense that they would build something around it, because if you notice, it is sitting at the same angle that it was sitting at the end of Iron Man 2. I would find the picture, but I don't want to be banned for posting a "bootlegged" image. However, I'm sure that you all know of the image that I am talking about.

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, that's the same position it was seen in Iron Man 2.

Maybe it has something to do with "Destroyer"? I don't know. That's the vibe that I get when I see it.

[Surfer]

I wish it was a little clearer, because it just looks like a slab of molten metal. It could represent the earlier stages of Mjolnir being formed (as was suggested earlier), but I am having a hard time seeing Mjolnir's shape in the slab. However, it could just be me, perhaps I am not looking at it correctly.

While the Thor pics look really amazing, i'm really starting to doubt there's going to be a helmet. I wonder what's next? Spiderman gets a lucha libre styled mask to make it "more realistic"?

I'm starting to think there is no helmet too. I'm bracing myself for it. sigh...loki and odin get a helmet but character whose movie it is doesn't get a helmet even though he has been wearing a helmet in the comics for the better part of fifty years

I'm thinking that the helmet is there, but it's just not going to play a prominent role in this movie. However, if you look at the pic that was released a couple of days ago, the one where Thor is kneeling before Odin, he may be holding his helmet in his left hand, because you can just barely see his arm sticking out on his left side. I'm thinking that he is holding the helmet with his left arm. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but that's just what I'm thinking.

In the the high-res pic, you can see that he's got something with his left arm and you can see the handle of Mjolnir on the right hand side of the cape, so he's holding the hammer with his right hand. It's no stretch to suggest that he does have a helmet but has took it off upon audience before Odin [especially if that's the scene where he's receiving his punishment):-

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b64/SUPERBENITEZ/thor-2.jpg

Either that, or he's got his left hand on his hip; which is of couse, so butch for a Norse God. :hehe:

can you post a link please because I've seen no such thing.

One mention was from that guy on AICN who has been accurate about everything else so far-

Everyone looks absolutely perfect, right down tot he color scheme. ANd its straight up medieval future tech looking. And yes Loki has black straight hair even know Hiddleston is blonde and curly. THor is balls accurate though complete with cape, chain mail arms, the circles going down the front of the torso, and winged helmet.

I've seen the costumes, and they did absolutely [frick]ing nail it. Very Walt Simonson. And I think my reputation as someone very critical of most comic book films procedes me here so I'm not just some excited fanboy. The only thing that is funny about Loki's costume is that while its gold and has the big horns sticking out, the helmet part of it, meaning the part that actually touches his head, kind of looks like a bicycle helmet, I think more so that it would, practically speaking, stay comfortable on the actor and not move around due to the horns. The warriors three are also the same kind of medieval future tech look, a little less traditional than the comic but still very very awesome and the look of each of the actors themselves is [frick]ing dead on. Ray Stevenson looks especially cool in a chubby suit. Trust me, I think everyone here is going to be very very pleased as Branaugh just more or less adapted the comic. I was surprised at how well the looks work when translated into reality.

Hey, the guy who perfectly described Loki, Sif, Fandral, and Hogun's costumes months before we saw them saying that Thor has a helmet isn't confirmation :cmad:

[Optimus_Prime_]

I don't think so. He already seemed to be approaching that size in set photos from the Red Dawn remake, which he finished just a couple of months before starting Thor, and he was already in great shape even before that. I think he just worked his ass off.
Well, I'm aware he was rather large in Red Dawn. Really it would come down to how big he actually was when he was in Star Trek. He was a fairly scrawny model, but he could've actually been quite built in ST simply because there really wasn't much shown of him in the movie.

By the by, you can work your ass off all you want. I actually have a photoshoot at the end of this month, so I've worked my ass off. It'll only get you so far. Even the fastest gainers don't tend to put on mass like I see here. Bale, when he was emmaciated had super-compensation on his side (and was probably prescribed something seeing he was in a near-death state according to reports), Hemsworth doesn't. Considering the shape he was in means his body was already conditioned to exercise, meaning the net effect of gains for him would actually be less.

Also, I've know a few Hollywood trainers, and they say HGH/steroids (especially the milder steroids) are quite common out there.

[marcvader]

There will be a helmet, it's just not going to be used much I believe.

[spider-neil]

the things I had my fingers crossed for were

the 616 hammer
the red cape
the six silver discs
the red and black armbands
the silver helmet

as long as he had those I wasn't bothered how the above was presented.
its not like superman/spider-man where nothing less than the exact copy will do.

No doubt. It's HGH. Being around this crap all the time in the gym, it's pretty prevalent and not just in Hollywood. Considering the schedules these guys work during production (especially Hemsworth as of late) HGH is the most convenient way to recover and pack on the pounds after hardcore workouts and putting in work.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

[misjuevos]

I'm sure the helmet is saved for comic con. I'm more curious about where heputs mjolnir when not holding it. Doesn't look like he will put it behind his head. Probably the hip. I hope he does the throwing flight and opening portals.

Was it really a short space of time?

He filmed his Star Trek scene in 2007. Then he made A Perfect Getaway.

He certainly seemed to have already bulked up significantly between those two films. Whose to say he hasn't been training with Hollywood trainers and bulking up for 2+ years already? Obviously he stepped it up after he landed this role but I think people are probably underestimating his size when he got the role.

[Aesop Rocks]

Hemsworth was big in Star Trek, bigger in APG, and now HUGE in Thor.

He was big before Thor, he just moved into a gym for what, 9 months?

[Whiskey Tango]

The man is clearly juicing, some guy on the internet said so. :whatever:

[CanaryFan]

He was always pretty big and some people bulk up easier than others. I haven't seen any signs of the thinning hair that accompanies roid use in any of his interviews or photo ops.

[marcvader]

I totally don't think he used roids. The guy was already looking big months before shooting began in January. You guys talk like he's bodybuilder big when he's only a bit larger than Jackman was for Wolverine.

Well, I'm not here to pass morals onto people. I would never mess with the stuff myself ..... but it's all over the place in Hollywood. A lot of women in entertainment cycle T3 (which is a thyroid hormone) and Clenbuterol (a horse steroid) in order to cut a lot of weight quickly. In fact, Clen is a major designer steroid in the circles of Hollywood.

HGH though isn't like steroids. You can go to a doctor to have it prescribed.

I agree - I think he's got pretty damn good genetics. It's possible that he's on the juice : But you have to remember - The biggest plus with being an actor & training for a role is that you get all day, everyday to train and eat correctly. That makes a hell of a difference.

I doubt Hemsworth had anything prescribed, but I'm not an expert on any of that stuff at all. Last time I went to a gym was years ago. Either way, if it's not harmful, more power to him. I certainly can't argue with the results.

Or he could've just had a great deal of motivation, wanting to make Thor look as powerful as a God.

[RaZaTrOn]

No doubt that they are saving the helm until Saturday.

Remember when the Iron Man trailer was leaked and there were 2 moments when the audience went crazy, the one where the Mark I armour turns around and the one where the Mark III turned around. The audience went mental.

I can see a scene like that being in the trailer where it is Thor with his helmet either just looking at something or shouting 'For Asgard!'... the audience will go crazy for it.

This film looks amazing. I'm loving how S.H.I.E.L.D have bored around the hammer to try and remove it.

As someone who has done a cycle I agree 100%. It's a solid enough routine for beginners but it would never get someone even close to Hemsworth's size. Ever.

[misjuevos]

Yea it's for getting shredded not going faux ssj 2. Anyway studios hire trainers to get the actors in shape or they use their ridiculous salary and get a trainer to buff themselves up. Look at Toby maguire or Christian bale they bulked up. Bale went down for machinist and back up for tdk. Not hard if all they do is eat and train.

The Destroyer is an empty suit of armor that is powered by a living being's soul. Depending on how strong a person's will is and possibly how prepared they are to enter the Destroyer, they may be able to exert some control over the Destroyer. But the Destroyer was built to live up to its name, so more often than not, the Destroyer's own bloodlust clouds the mind of whomever is animating it and it just becomes a crazy killing machine. Thor and Odin have both proven able to control the Destroyer and basically just use it as a really powerful suit of armor, but most others get overtaken by the bloodlust and try to destroy whatever is in their path. It's pretty much indestructible (except for one time when it was utterly annihilated by the Celestials, but, y'know, they're the Celestials), so the easiest (and usually only) way to defeat it is to find the body of the person who's animating it and attack it. The Destroyer has a built-in safeguard that shoots the soul back to its original body if said body is in danger.

That, along with some more, could get him like that.

Not to mention he was in pretty good shape before.

Uhhhhhh that guy in the picture is a weakling compared to Hemsworth. It's a high-intensity, high-rep style work out. It's not for bulking up. No offense, I've been around fitness and weight lifting for 14 years now. I can't be any more adamant about it.

[protocida]

This movie looks great! I'm hyped.

[Vartha]

Whoa is it me or did the page change


Change? I see no change.

[protocida]

I see it too.

[namtaB]

Or he could've just had a great deal of motivation, wanting to make Thor look as powerful as a God.

I'm also guessing you've never heard of P90X.

Motivation is great when you have time. But on a multi-million dollar film with specific deadlines and shooting schedules, there's a tendency to take pharms and ensure you arrive on shooting day in top condition.

Plus, the size of his head is a dead giveaway that he's been using HGH.

[TheCorpulent1]

HGH makes your head bigger? :huh:

[Doctor Jones]

Hemsworth looks as if he could punch me in the face, my teeth would fly out of the back of my head, and still kill the people behind me.

Exactly how Thor should look!

it's a 'little' weird they had to build around the area, as they could have got a crane to lift the hammer and move it where they liked.

there was an issue of thor set in the future where thor is missing but his hammer is in the desert, people try and move the hammer and can't, and cranes and machines buckle under the weight of trying to move it. this is totally wrong imho, no 'sentient' being can lift the hammer but an inanimate object; crane, robot, etc should be able to lift the hammer no problem

The game will probably suck (SEGA) but the art direction looks pretty great

Also:"The Marvel guys were a tremendous help. Like with the cape, they sent us actual swatches of the cloth so we can make sure the game matched up with the film. As for the helmet, which you don't see here [in the concept art], Marvel changed the helmet design three times on us so far. Even now they are still tweaking the helmets and costumes with CG, even though they are already done filming. We're constantly getting new designs in."

Yeah, I'm a fan of wet. :awesome:

But then my next question is why the heck is it raining where they have a liquid nitrogen tank? :funny:

Well, I'm not here to pass morals onto people. I would never mess with the stuff myself ..... but it's all over the place in Hollywood. A lot of women in entertainment cycle T3 (which is a thyroid hormone) and Clenbuterol (a horse steroid) in order to cut a lot of weight quickly. In fact, Clen is a major designer steroid in the circles of Hollywood.

HGH though isn't like steroids. You can go to a doctor to have it prescribed.
That just makes me incredibly sad. I mean, I understand if you have to be big for a superhero role, but many Hollywood women are skinny just for the sake of being skinny. And they look SICK too. They're always kind of dead in the eyes. Or maybe that's the plastic surgery too. :funny:

I dunno, I guess I always underestimate how hard it is for people to lose weight because I'm naturally a skinny stickly stick. For me to bulk up would definitely need some hardcore steroids. :funny:

[Brian Braddock]

HGH makes your head bigger? :huh:

A side-effect of HGH can be acromegaly, which is the medical term for the overgrowth of facial bone, leading to a protruding jaw and eyebrow bones.

An old training partner of mine used to take it and it did give him a more pronounced forehead just above the eyebrows. Hence the nickname of 'Lurch' for a time.

Yeah, but those are all minor technicalities. Having SHIELD just give up and literally build their base around Mjolnir instead of moving it emphasizes how special the hammer is way better than some dude going, "Hey, check it out, if we use a crane, we can totally move it!" ;)

Dang, that's... wow. I hope Hemsworth doesn't overdo it, if indeed he is using HGH.

[Optimus_Prime_]

I doubt Hemsworth had anything prescribed, but I'm not an expert on any of that stuff at all. Last time I went to a gym was years ago. Either way, if it's not harmful, more power to him. I certainly can't argue with the results.
First of all HGH is quite legal, and safe if done under Medical supervision. A guy my age (25) runs a few risks taking it, but as you get older it's downright necessary if you want to stay in shape.

Second, it's not steroids.

Third, yeah, as Rock Sexton says, you're naive if you think this was just hard work and chicken. Exercising deteriorates your body, it doesn't build it up. It's the periods inbetween workouts where your body really changes. So the more Hemsworth works out the smaller he gets, particularly if he's not taking "something". The body simply can't recover that fast. That's why the pressure to take steroids and HGH is so prevelant in competitive sports -- because it grants athletes the ability to continue training and honing their skills when other un-enhanced athletes must rest.

Also, I really could give a sh--. Hollywood is about illusion, and the stars of movies are extremely wealthy people who do many, many things that middle class individuals simply do not have access to and cannot get away with. Their stigmas, especially in regards to stuff like this, are much different than ours.

[Optimus_Prime_]

As someone who has done a cycle I agree 100%. It's a solid enough routine for beginners but it would never get someone even close to Hemsworth's size. Ever.
I've done one too.

P90X is no size adding routine. It doesn't even use weighted squats, which means the people on the program could even get close to the testosterone release needed for size.

[Optimus_Prime_]

He could have used a program similar to what wrestlers use. Wrestling may be fake, but they can still pick a person up and throw them.
And Wrestlers take a MASSIVE amount of steroids.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Damn this board got stupid in the last 24 hours!

First Hemsworth was always big and isn't much bigger now thenhe was before he landed the role of Thor.

Second everybody stand in front of a mirror. grasp something low and in front of you, flex and look in the mirror. See how when your arms are up aginst your upper body the flaten a little one way and double in size the other? That's what's happening in the picture. Any well built guy could look like that.

Third the only way you get smaller when you work out is if you do it to excess. Your body will burn off simple carbs like sugar first then the complex cards and fat. If you continue burning energy for long sustained periods of time you begin feeding off the protien in your muscles which is why long distance runners are always sooo thin. There are tons of athletes including all natural body builders that work out year round and don't get smaller.:doh: Yes you put little tears in your muscles when you work out and your body heals them when you rest. That's why you only work a certain body part once or twice aweek and not every day when lifting heavy.

And all those "in the know" who claim they can tell he's on the juice, hgh , roids. :dry:

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh, in the end, it doesn't really matter either way. Hemsworth presumably knows how to take care of himself and not do anything to adversely affect his health, and whatever he's done to bulk up, it's certainly paid off.

[Optimus_Prime_]

Damn this board got stupid in the last 24 hours!

First Hemsworth was always big and isn't much bigger now thenhe was before he landed the role of Thor.
He was much smaller.

That's some pretty impressive camera work/posing then:whatever:. Yeah I can make myself "look" bigger, there is an art to it...there though, he's looking a lot bigger.
Third the only way you get smaller when you work out is if you do it to excess.
Excess: meaning more than approximately one hour of exercise a day. Average being about 90%+ of everyone on the planet, usually need about 48 hours to recover one or more bodyparts from an hour workout. Of the remaining 10% some need less, most need more. Even following your body chemistry to the letter, which is damn near impossible even with a trainer, gains usually aren't as impressive as what I see here.
Your body will burn off simple carbs like sugar first then the complex cards and fat.
Actually you're body defaults to lean tissue first. The reason for balancing your diet is to keep you in an anabolic state. Keep you gaining or sustaining muscle. So your body will burn off muscle first and foremost, it's got no reason to keep it because muscle uses way more energy and requires more fuel, and if you didn't live around abundant food sources it would impede your survival.
If you continue burning energy for long sustained periods of time you begin feeding off the protien in your muscles which is why long distance runners are always sooo thin.
As I say, if it weren't for their diets being so carb heavy, this would actually be the first thing they burn off...which brings us to an interesting point.
There are tons of athletes including all natural body builders that work out year round and don't get smaller.:doh:
Yes, and they work out for many, many, many years to get to this size, not months. Natural Bodybuilders are a little like Sasquatches, I've never seen one but I'm told they exist. Although as lore goes that Clark Bantram (or whatever) from Batman: Dead End was and he's been training since he was 16 years old to get to where he is. By the way, he's well into his forties now. Yes, you can train year round...I do, but you have to do it for a LONG A** TIME.
Yes you put little tears in your muscles when you work out and your body heals them when you rest.
After about two or three days.
And all those "in the know" who claim they can tell he's on the juice, hgh , roids. :dry:
Well, yeah, because we're "in the know" meaning we've studied, been around and quite possibly taken some of the substances we're talking about. Just like your mechanic is "in the know" about cars and can look at one and tell you whats going on with it, we're "in the know" about fitness and performance enhancing substances. I've been doing this stuff I'm "in the know" about for twelve years, yeah...I might know what I'm talking about.

[Whiskey Tango]

You're just reinforcing mine and Optimus's point. Hemsworth has been working 7 different roles since being cast as Captain Kirk's father. Rest is the key here. With that kind of work schedule he's not just spending his days eating, working out, and resting. To get the physique which he has now, he would need a little something more than some protein and a few bench presses. While he already had a decent physique, to get the "Thor" look he has now he no doubt used supplements. Did you ever see that interview with Natalie Portman? She and the interviewer were gushing about his new physique, so he wasn't that size before.

Creatine will make you bigger and allow you to work out more, certainly not an illegal substance.

It aids muscles because it helps block lactic acid formation, something that causes muscles to get sore.

I was never a huge a meat head gymrat, but for about 6 months I tried the stuff out, and I still retain a bigger overall frame then what I had prior to useing creatine.

It di make me big quite fast, made me want to go to the gym and run hard as well..........

It also kinda messed with me which is why I stopped.... it's kinda speeedy once it is in your system for 3 or 4 months.

I don't care either way. I'd be dismayed if he were doing anything unhealthy, but from the sound of it, there are plenty of supplements that can be used in healthy ways to bulk up quickly.

You know, originally I thought that was just a rock that Mjolnir was resting on but studying the pic I just realized that it looks more like the sand was fused into glass from intense heat, probably from a lightning strike as the hammer impacted.

Thank you. To other posters out here, this is not a knock against him. I certainly am not calling him a bad person, unless, that is, of course someone has ridiculously lofty moral standards for actors playing roles of ficticious thunder Gods...then I guess I am.

HGH is expensive, and it's dreadfully easy for the wealthy of Hollywood to get their hands on it. Done under medical supervision it's fine, and perfectly legal. Moreover, with the access and money they have the risk can be mitigated. They are not competing here, so I honestly don't understand why you wouldn't want them taking it.

"As for the helmet, which you don't see here [in the concept art], Marvel changed the helmet design three times on us so far. Even now they are still tweaking the helmets and costumes with CG, even though they are already done filming. We're constantly getting new designs in."

You're welcome!

I wanna see Hemsworth guest star on WWE RAW with that beard and long hair and own those fake ass wrestlers.

But... what Hemsworth does is actually more fake than what they do... :huh:

Thank you Corp... Wrestling isn't fake its just scripted and lightely Choreographed... there are legitimate Injures and Spot that go wrong.... also there are times where things don't go according to plan so they have change things up... they are real athletes.


I remeber an interview where Brock Lesnar Said he got injured more in WWE than in UFC... its not fake folks.

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah, but in fairness, no one forced Brock to do that moonsault onto his neck. What the hell was he thinking? :doh:

It's true though, I may not be into the wrestling anymore, but I can still appreciate it for what it is; a lot of hard work and pain goes into doing what those guys do.

[Aesop Rocks]

Enough WWE.

More Thor.

[louiebling$]

Yeah, but in fairness, no one forced Brock to do that moonsault onto his neck. What the hell was he thinking? :doh:

It's true though, I may not be into the wrestling anymore, but I can still appreciate it for what it is; a lot of hard work and pain goes into doing what those guys do.
Yea inever ever thought a big guy like him could actually Pull off A Shooting Star Press and Live to Tell the Tale... he was so Lucky it wasn't Fatal(Man it would have been :awesome: if he actully landed it)

But yea like Rocks Said let's get back to talking bout Goldielocks :thor: :hehe:

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Actually it is pronounced "Raslin" :oldrazz:

[The_Mighty_Thor]

He was much smaller.

Your saying that based on one picture of him that is rather deceptive due to his positioning. I dissagree.

That's some pretty impressive camera work/posing then:whatever:. Yeah I can make myself "look" bigger, there is an art to it...there though, he's looking a lot bigger.

A lot bigger than what? If I grasp a hammer handle with my hands centered in front of me it presses my arms up against my sides. My arms appear to double in size. If a large man did this he would appear massive with out gaining any size at all.

Excess: meaning more than approximately one hour of exercise a day.

Actually it means one hour of continuous exercise. Split sessions would be fine as long as you worked a diffeent body part.



Yes, and they work out for many, many, many years to get to this size, not months.

Yes and no. Genetics has a lot to do with it. Some people bulk up really easy while others will struggle to gain any weight at all. Eventually every one hits a wall but I have seen many people make some rather noticable gains in their first few months with out drugs by increasing their diet and lifting heavy


Natural Bodybuilders are a little like Sasquatches, I've never seen one but I'm told they exist.

Or maybe you just assume every one is using to get the results they get because you can't get those results with out aid. Much like you're assuming Hemsworth did. You know what happens when you assume right?

I used to work and work out with Mike Columbare. He was huge at 19 and had only been lifting for a couple years. He won a few teen titles at all natural events where they tested your hair. Hair drug tests will find anything you've taken in your entire life and anyone who had any of the chemicals that make up roids were disqulified and barred from future comps in that org. I am currently freinds with a guy who helps organize bodybuilding comps in my area and they do some pretty extensive drug testing as well. Yes their is no HGH test but then none of these events are filled with caveman brows and protruding jaw bones either.



Well, yeah, because we're "in the know" meaning we've studied, been around and quite possibly taken some of the substances we're talking about. Just like your mechanic is "in the know" about cars and can look at one and tell you whats going on with it, we're "in the know" about fitness and performance enhancing substances. I've been doing this stuff I'm "in the know" about for twelve years, yeah...I might know what I'm talking about.

You might but your words don't back it up. I'm not a body builder but I used to be a competitive fighter. I've been in martial arts since I was six and training in gyms with all different types of athletes since I was in my mid teens and in my 36 years of training I've known both users and non users and have seen far to much that contradicts what you're saying.

Why don't we start sending our training resumes to each other or better yet, get the measuring tape out to compare **** size.

Is this a Thor thread or is it about who's get the best shredded glutes and best developed traps?

I have to agree with TMT here. Back in the 70's I was both on Gymnastics and Wresting and no matter how hard I tried I could NOT flatten my abs just as an example.
When I was married I had a Boarder renting a room and he was a very thin guy, no matter what HE did he just could not get MASS built up.
With some people it's EASY to build muscle quick and others just plain impossible to put on bulk.

[the alamo rippe]

mods please step in

[TheCorpulent1]

All right, enough fitness talk already. Let's get back to Thor, please. Whether Hemsworth did or didn't use any supplements has been discussed to death at this point.

lol it all started out defending Chris, Brian...technically they ARE talking about Thor. :D

What would be cool is if Chris showed up at SDCC WEARING the Helmet. :D

Yup, no Shakespear.
JMS proved Thor does better without it. but I bet we get an Aye, nay, and what not stuck in there somewhere.

[TheCorpulent1]

So is Hemsworth speaking 21st English or Ye Old Shakespearean English with the funny speech patterns?
Probably some combination. I think it's likeliest that we'll get modern English pronouns with slightly old-world, "regal" speech patterns. Much like the current comics.

[Anita18]

That actually makes me confident the helmet will look good. The fact they are taking so much time to get it right.
Yeah, but they're done shooting. So it's likely the helmet is only in a few scenes that they feel comfortable in going back and changing it through CGI in all the scenes it appears in. Or they're being indecisive, fiddling with the design unnecessarily and giving the CGI artists fits. :o

The helmet is part of the costume. It should look good with the entirety of the costume, not by itself. Thor's costume has a lot of interesting textures in it, it isn't like it HAS to be computer generated.

But we haven't heard what they could be possibly changing on it through CGI. Hopefully it's just something small and not with the overall shape.

[marvel_freshman]

I say just have THor refer to himself and the 3rd person. That really shows arrogance.

[Punisher_MAX]

Thor is in Marvel vs Capcom 3. just a heads up for the gamers.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

If Thor doesn't spout "Have at thee!" and "Stay thy hand troll or Mighty Thor will surely slay thee!" some where in this film then I will consider it an utter failure, and yes he must be wearing his helmet when he says both!:hehe:

[Optimus_Prime_]

Your saying that based on one picture of him that is rather deceptive due to his positioning. I dissagree.

I've seen more than one picture of him, but thanks for diminishing the argument:whatever:
Actually it means one hour of continuous exercise. Split sessions would be fine as long as you worked a diffeent body part.
For mass training....ummmmmmmmmmmm no.
Yes and no. Genetics has a lot to do with it. Some people bulk up really easy while others will struggle to gain any weight at all.
Like Arnold, who has phenomenal genetics, by anyone's metric said he could put on about one solid pound of muscle a month without the addition of anabolic steroids. Then you have movie stars who claim they put on 20 or 30 pounds in mere months. Again, you're naive if you think that doesn't involve something.
Eventually every one hits a wall but I have seen many people make some rather noticable gains in their first few months with out drugs by increasing their diet and lifting heavy
Except he's a male model and actor by trade. This isn't a case of an out of shape individual making that first 30-60 day increases. He's already well acclaimated to training, meaning his gains come a lot slower.
Or maybe you just assume every one is using to get the results they get because you can't get those results with out aid.
This isn't a pride argument.
Much like you're assuming Hemsworth did. You know what happens when you assume right?

I'm not assuming, I'm making statements based on evidence and experience. See his neck and face, they're dead giveaways for HGH. You see normally, when you train your face doesn't develop because they're are not any face machines in the gym. On HGH though the face does seem to get bigger, the muscles in the head become more pronounced, which is exactly what happened there. I don't just look at any individual and say "oh, obviously steroids/hgh", I understand the signs, in part because I have a lot of experience with them.
I used to work and work out with Mike Columbare. He was huge at 19 and had only been lifting for a couple years.
YEARS
YEARS
YEARS
Now, if you told me "he'd only been lifting for a couple of months (like Hemsworth)" I'd tell you to start checking his drinking water.
He won a few teen titles at all natural events where they tested your hair. Hair drug tests will find anything you've taken in your entire life and anyone who had any of the chemicals that make up roids were disqulified and barred from future comps in that org. I am currently freinds with a guy who helps organize bodybuilding comps in my area and they do some pretty extensive drug testing as well.
"I'm currently friends with", "I know a guy who"...not really any direct experience. I do organize Bodybuilding competitions.
Yes their is no HGH test but then none of these events are filled with caveman brows and protruding jaw bones either.
It's comments like these that really signal to me you don't know what you're talking about.

Furthermore, actors are NOT tested, at all, period. It's a different animal, stop the moral high horse nonsense.
You might but your words don't back it up. I'm not a body builder but I used to be a competitive fighter.
I've been a competitive bodybuilder, a competitive runner, competitive soccer player, competitive rugby player, fighter, and fitness model.
I've been in martial arts since I was six and training in gyms with all different types of athletes since I was in my mid teens and in my 36 years of training I've known both users and non users and have seen far to much that contradicts what you're saying.
You sound like a typical "I work out" person, no offense. You seem to have a basic understanding, but you have yet to present me with any evidence of anyone putting on mass and size in a matter of months comprable to what celebrities claim and show in their hectic acting schedules. Even if you could find one such noteable exception, it still wouldn't really prove anything since that's not the norm. Moreover, I know Hollywood trainers and Miami Beach trainers, and HGH is a million dollar industry for celebrities. It's use is prevelant and frankly the fact that you have such a prejudice against it's use makes me question how much you really do know about it.

Dude I'm not going to keep arguing with you about this. I was a fighter. I went up 12 pounds to a different weight class in a month in a half twice and I wasn't an out of shape guy just starting to work out either. Believe what you want but don't expect anyone else to. You don't know as much as you think. Bye now.

I've said to get off the HGH argument/comparing personal workout résumés already. From now on, expect infractions. There's a fitness thread in Community (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=331149); this one's for the Thor movie, not whether an actor has taken anything or how long you've personally been bodybuilding.

[IDrawDeadPeople]

hi. I must preface this by saying that I am not at all a "fan" of Thor. I have a few early Journey Into mystery issues and that's about all I ever read outside of crossover appearances in other books. I really have no clue as to Marvel's mythology of the character. So bear with me...

The pic of Thor struggling to life the hammer is amazing, and I read references to how Shield tried to dig out the hammer from underneath or other similiar theories as to the context of the pic.

Is it at all possible that (if I got this right) nobody can lift the hammer but Thor, and Thor is relatively "un-Thor" after his banishment...

Is he lifting the hammer so hard that he is literally pulling up the ground it's sitting on along with it?

That would be quite epic.

[SpiderByte]

No, he's pulling it out. Shield probably tried digging underneath it to pick it up, but no doubt his hammer is keeping it there.

Thor is still Thor without his hammer, he just doesn't have all his powers. He has natural strength, but not as much he would if he had the hammer.

Also, it's great that someone who knows next to nothing about Thor is liking the pictures. It really shows what a great job theyv'e been doing.

It happened to me, too. Before, I couldn't care two *****s about Thor, but now I'm a fan...although I don't know everything, I know a good amount.

[Aesop Rocks]

Nah, Thor has to find the hammer to get his powers back. When he lifts he, he Thors up.

[Aesop Rocks]

[IDrawDeadPeople]

He certainly looks like he isn't having an easy time lifting it, which is what makes it look like the hammer is pulling up the ground with it. It looks like terraforming far more than a shovel job.

[TheCorpulent1]

Slight clarification: Thor is Thor with or without the hammer. His strength, toughness, and weather control are all his, not the hammer's. He can use the hammer to focus his weather control more, but he still has it without the hammer.

In the case of the movie, I suspect Odin casts a spell to rob Thor of his powers and godhood, rendering him human. Reclaiming the hammer will probably be his means of regaining those powers, but if they're being true to the comics, that'll just be a one-time deal. He won't be human without the hammer from now on or anything.

Also, Surtur looks awesome for the game. Poor Loki; now those are some horns. :hehe:

[SpiderByte]

But he uses his hammer as a medium, right?

[TheCorpulent1]

A medium for what? He channels lightning through it and focuses his weather control through it, if that's what you mean.

[Blackman]

Hemsworth is beyond ripped

lol I remember when people when complaining that he was "too small". This movie is looking good
