The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[lixdexia]

I was at Marvel.com where I saw their schedule for NYCC, but nothing on Thor, why not?
link?

[Figs]

Wouldn't they already know that if they were fans? I don't think you'll see a big to do about that. Most comic book nerds are also gaming nerds, so they should be used to the notion of losing all your powers at the beginning of a story. :)

You have to remember that on the internet and thanks to Wikipedia, a lot of "fans" read up on whatever character is in the spotlight and act like they have been a long time fan.

[Vartha]

Regardless of the film's quality; expect HUGE fan backlash because Thor wears civilian clothes and is powerless through most of the movie. The actual significance of how important (and accurate) to the character that is will be completely lost on them.
I wouldn't say there'd be a backlash, I mean sure Thor's powerless but he still has his battle experience which most of us Thor fans keep saying SHOULD count for something with or without powers.

[RetroNaz]

It actually makes sense that Thor does wear human clothes anyway...it's all part of his humbling which I'm sure will make more sense when we see it on screen.

And I can just imagine how awesome the scene will be when he regains his powers and his costume. Epic.

[Vartha]

I can't wait!
All we can do is Speculate with the news we DO have lol

When this movie was in the early stages the fans were asking that it take place completely in Asgard, and be an epic 'Lord Of The Rings' tale. I think those same fans will take issue with the whole 'Hercules in New York' thing we've got going now :oldrazz:

I don't care, fans are silly.

[BizarroAids]

Anyone buy IM2 yet? I heard the Blu Ray had Thor and Cap footage. I'm not sure if the dvd comes with the footage. Anyway, just curious what footage for Thor we got.

[Vartha]

RealIronMan said there was no footage of either that he's found, BUT there is something on the filming of the Mjolnir scenes by KENNETH and JMS is there too!

[Vartha]

IM2 Blu-Ray: No Cap & Thor this time!
Quote:
Overall, the bonus materials are very, very impressive here this time around with the only real exception being BD-Live — which sadly was not included this time around; why I have no clue.

[Vartha]

bumping for others

"Making of" "Thor's Hammer" scene at the end of "Iron Man 2" can be watched and downloaded from here (http://www.starkindustries.ru/news/fichuretka_o_semkakh_sceny_posle_titrov/2010-09-20-2009).

[marcvader]

Is this Thor stuff on the DVD as well?

[terry78]

They'll be saving the "real" Thor for Avengers more than likely. This is his semi-origin as a hero for Earth.

[Vartha]

Is this Thor stuff on the DVD as well?
Not sure can't afford it yet Marc

[Tony Stark]

I'm upset the BD-live stuff isn't there, but in there defense, alot of this is timing. The BD stuff was being put together right after the film was released in theaters. Meanwhile the Thor stuff was being scrambled to put together a pretty raw Comicon special viewing.

It's dissapointing they couldn't get it all together, but working in an industry myself where deadlines are keys and to make those deadlines you may have to drop one or two features, I can understand how this happens.

I'm not saying I'm happy with it, but bottom line you can't tell the stock holders, "oh yeah we had to delay the IM2 blue ray a month because we didn't have some of the featurettes ready."

[Saint]

i'd rather it be at least mostly in battle. i think we've had enough heroes lifting things shots

I don't know, a good feat of strength can be great. I think one of the problems with both Hulk films was that neither really had that sort of moment. This is especially noteworthy in TIH, where the Hulk's strength was pretty tame. Superman lifting the island in Superman Returns was a fantastic moment, even if the rest of the film didn't meet that same standard, and characters like Hulk and Thor deserve sequences like that as well.

Naturally, it doesn't have to be as straightforward as "Thor lifts something really heavy." However, it does need to be something where the audience can understand the gravity of the situation. For example, when the Hulk resisted the soundwave weapon in TIH, that was supposed to show us the power of the Hulk--but it didn't really succeed because the audience has no understanding of how powerful that weapon is. There's no frame of reference.

Equally, if we show Thor resisting the eyebeams of the Destroyer, well that doesn't mean much to we who don't really understand the force of asgardian eyebeams. But if you show Thor demonstrating his strength on something that exists in the real world, something where we can imagine what the weight of it might be like, then you've got a much more effective demonstration of his power.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, they could also establish the power of the Destroyer by having it demolish some real stuff with ease. Then when Thor stands up to the same eyebeams that, say, vaporized a concrete bunker or a Hummer or something, it has more meaning.

Just before Hulk resisted it, we were given a frame of reference of how powerful the weapon was. We were shown it's effect on Blonsky.

[Bren]

Which only showed that the Hulk was a bit stronger but a lot heavier than Blonsky... It did highlight he was stronger, yes, but not enough imo. In line with Corp, had the soundwaves demolished trees, or needed massive rear support for the hummers, then we'd get more of a feeling they were uber-powerful.

I knew they must be, because I know Hulk is. But that reasoning doesn't work when you don't know Hulk is powerful in the first place...

[marcvader]

It was pretty effective for me.

Yeah, I think all of us are pretty poor judges for this because we all have a pretty good idea of how powerful characters are and judge everything else based on that, whereas this movie will be establishing how powerful the characters are for everyone else.

[Gamma Burst]

Agreed.The mere description(by Loki or Odin) of what the Destroyer can do or what He was created for could be pretty effective to give a hint to audience about his powers.

I disagree with you, but for a very different reason. The weapon they used in that scene was a tactical acoustic emitter (similar to the ADS - Active Denial System). It sends resonating, high intensity radio waves which cause only specific physical effects: loss of hearing, internal organ confusion and intense vertigo. Several of these systems can cause a feeling of intense "burning" to the epidermis, but it only lasts as long as you are in front of the weapon. The effects of being contaminated by this weapon are mostly psychological; meaning, once you encounter it you avoid it in the future (negative reinforcement). Being that it is simply emitting radio waves, there is no possible way for it to pick Blonsky up and throw him about. That being said, showing the "waves" causing physical displacement at whatever crossed it's firing path was the wrong way to go.

You can see some footage of how these weapons work here: http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/futureweapons-ads.html

So in other words, the (fictitious) weapon they used in the movie was not a tactical acoustic emitter then, since it threw Blonsky and was very obviously causing Hulk to 'push' against it...

Besides which, you think the GA (and I'm including myself here) would know ANY of that? And furthermore, in discussion on how it was supposed to highlight or show Hulk's strength, your genuine TAE would have been even more useless in doing so.

No need to be a smartass, I was agreeing with you.

Actually, it would have been more useful. But there's no way of actually showing a scale of physical damage caused by it because they are sound based weapons.There are plenty of futuresque weapons systems that could have been used in it's stead that would have displayed the type of damage you're mentioning.

And, for the record , the weapon used in TIH was by no means "fictitious." The schematics where borrowed directly from the US ARMY's Active Denial System; which you can learn about in the Special Features. So, yes, it was an acoustic emitter; the visual damage caused by it was simply exaggerated for the film.

Huh?

But I AM a smartass, you're denying me my right to be myself!!! ;)
Kidding, sorry for coming across off, I'm on another forum reading about current state-instituted racism, so I'm in a bad place...

They may have copied the designs of this Active Denial System, but the effects were not the same (artistic licence and all that), so it's not the same weapon.

So unless there is a system that does what the TIH thing did, then what we saw was fictitious. And no, I'm actually not a smartass so maybe there is, and I'm wrong. But it wasn't the ADS system ;)

Back on topic; if at some point Thor can throw a tantrum and crack a mountain in half, I'll be both happy and in full understanding of his strength :woot:

[wobbly]

Bren, just before that sonic cannon scene we had the Hulk shrugging off bullets and grenades from Blonsky, ripping heavy army vehicles apart, etc. That the cannons did cause the Hulk to stop and feel pain (while Blonsky, who only caught the edge of the blast as he jumped and was thrown well away) and his overcoming them to smash them to bits, showed pretty well how strong he was supposed to be.

Saying he was "a bit stronger but a lot heavier than Blonsky" is understating the case big time (one kick, the only blow Hulk landed on Blonsky, shattered nearly every bone in his augmented body)

For the most part yes. The effects heavy stuff (CGI) will be done in proper 3D, so it won't be as weak as 'Clash of the Titans'.

I was referring specifically to the fact that these things were creating a physical force, and in that kind of situation, strength isn't the main factor, it's more about mass and grip I guess. But I'm definitely overanalyzing now. You're right regarding the other weaponry and carnage showing the cannons to be powerful, I forgot about that (oops)!

Still, I wouldn't have minded Hulk knocking a building over, and then in Avengers Thor standing up to the same blow :woot:

[Saint]

Yes, but I still find this less impactful than Thor tackling something that has known physical properties. In this respect, the eyebeams will never be a very good solution for a feat of strength. Now, if the Destroyer were to physically smash something with it's hands, and then Thor were to overpower it, that would be more useful (though still not the equal of Thor performing such a feat on something more real).

Just before Hulk resisted it, we were given a frame of reference of how powerful the weapon was. We were shown it's effect on Blonsky.
Yes, but we already knew that the Hulk is bigger, heavier, and stronger than Blonksy, so it a particularly meaningful frame of reference--especially since Blonsky's own power, being fictionally enhanced, is as much an unknown as the Hulk's or the weapon itself. We learned that Blonksy < Sound Weapon < Hulk, but this doesn't give us any understanding of the Hulk's strength--just that's it's greater than these other fictional things.

Does that make sense? When Superman lifted the island in Superman Returns, obviously none of us could guess at it's weight, but it would still have a more visceral reaction for us as a feat of strength, as it's easier for us to understand it's weight than the power of some sound weapon or super soldier.

[Danalys]

the hulks first appearance throwing the forklift easily and that other big thing, aswell as easily swinging a wrecking ball at the end show strength. they make a point of it with blonsky talking about and enamoured with the hulks power. the other parts show endurance. i think the sonic cannons may have pushed back some humvees at some point aswell.

[MoPlaYa]

When are we gonna get a trailer?

[NickNitro]

I STILL dont understand something here. Please someone shed light as Ive been watching this forum as well as caps since we first got news of the casting and whatnot.

Bootleg stuff. Now on SHH's main page they post "leaked" images of Cap/Thor but we are not suppose to post or ask about bootlegged info on the forums?

Im still completely confused as what constitutes GOOD LEAKED and BAD LEAKED. Obviously Marvel/Disney did not constitute the distribution of its recent Cap set photos as well as Thors but they are on SHH and other websites...so arent literally ALL photographs not distributed from the direct source (Marvel/Disney/DC/whoever) bad?

Still confuses me. Sorry to be a buzz kill guys.

[Crimson King]

I think the policy means "don't post what will get us in trouble."

[Son of Coul]

I think since Marvel's not asking for the Cap pics to be pulled down, that makes them okay? I dunno, it's a thin line.

Here is the difference:
Bootleg (or 'bad leaked') copies made from footage of the film itself, or screencaps taken from that, is prohibited as that footage is the property of Marvel Studios. As they do not want it available to the public at this time these boards have to comply.

Photographs and videos taken by the public of the set and the actors ('good leaked') are not the property of Marvel, so they cannot complain if they are posted here.

[TheCorpulent1]

If it's on the front page of the Hype, it's obviously not bootlegged by our standards. Pretty simple.

[Avengers-Report]

Thor will be converted to 3d...
:(

Ughhhh

[NickNitro]

@Corp I completely understand that if its on the front page of SHH its not "bootleg"

My question was how is it determined some leaked information IS and some leaked information ISNT "bootleg", because I feel like its a very fine line and I just want to make sure I or anyone else here never steps over it :)

@Wobbly thanks for the clarity I appreciate it. Helps a little :D

@XWolverine2 How do we know itll be converted? If so 2D version HERE I COME!

[TheCorpulent1]

If the company officially releases it or it's on the SHH front page, it's not bootleg. If it's a shaky cell phone movie or a blurry photo of random stuff on the set, it probably is. If you've got something to post and you're still confused, feel free to PM me.

[scatterax]

Today I learned allot about bootleg. except what boots and legs have to do with anything?

I have to add, things like the SDCC footage of Thor. Even tho it IS the real deal, it has NOT been released to the general public and is still falls under that bootleg policy, meaning no screen captures from the footage are to be posted.

[NickNitro]

@ Vartha it was that that completely threw me off. Footage WAS showed to the general public even though they were SDCC members still they are considered the general public because obviously we all can buy tickets and go to it. So that footage is considered bootleg if shown outside of SDCC while set photos which I assume no one affiliated with the film said "oh sure take these set photos and post them online" are considered ok.

@Corp Thanks Corp but no I dont have anything that I was wondering about I was just generally confused on the subject haha and figured "hey since there is no new Thor news why not bring it up :D"

I wish I went to SDCC so I could be considered someone not of the "general public" haha

I watched it on-line live with a few hype posters at the Comic Con site. :D
Those at SDCC saw it twice, I was reading a live Blog at the same time and had problems along with a few of us watching the Marvel panel and missed the 1st showing and saw PART of the Cap footage and then saw the 2nd showing of Thor.
See for SOME reason they would allow the sound, but no images from the footage. It's all up to the company what they want released. They apparently do not want the Thor or Cap footage (which at the time was DAYS old) shown.
Thor just hasn't had alot of set related images since it was in sound stages and CGI. Heck they even built their own town and still not many pics were allowed to be shown.

Right now I'd be happy with Concept art on the web site. :csad:

Are most Omnibus's in color or black and white? There is one coming out for the original Thor comics and I'm not sure if I want to get it if it's in black and white.

1) Yes, they are always in color.

2) Walter Simonson's Thor Omnibus will be in brand new color. It's worth it. One of the best Thor writers ever!

on the iron man 2 blu ray disc 2 i found a neat little easter egg of the easter egg from the film. it is after the credits of the ultimate making of iron man 2, just like the scene is after the credits of the movie. shows the filming of the mjolnir scene from iron man 2 on the thor set. kenneth branagh talks about thor, and we see jms there too. jms talks about the scene and it even shows him trying to lift mjolnir. i guess it will be his cameo in the thor movie.

you have to select play all or it wont appear. under ultimate making of iron man 2 on disc 2 select play all and you can either watch the whole thing and wait till after the credits for it or just skip to chapter 6 to watch it.

Yes a couple times not to mention When we were watching the SDCC Marvel panel live feed there was also a live blogger. They said "put on your glasses to view the footage". The blogger loved the 3-D.

ALSO Kenneth has said in a couple interviews that they are making it 2D INTO 3D because the 3D cameras were too stationary for Action sequences, and one other time he said they were still doing the 3D conversion.

[Kane52630]

yeah it saddens me that people are still doing the conversions to 3D

heres a (almost) complete list of all the fake 3D (the ones that uses conversions) and the real 3D (the ones that used the actual 3D cameras and/or computer animated 3D )

Great pic.

Anyone notice how in some pics Thor's cape has the Kirby bump and looks like fabric but in others there's no bump and it looks more plastic?

[Still A ThorFan]

The last time EMPIRE spoke about Thor it was said how the film wouldn't work, and the author made fun of the whole idea.

So I guess no Thor footage at NYCC?

[RealIrOnMaN]

So I guess no Thor footage at NYCC?
Yes. Marvel will show only several episodes from their brand new animated show - The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but no Cap or Thor movie news this time.

[Aesop Rocks]

lol NYCC never gets anything good.

[RealIrOnMaN]

lol NYCC never gets anything good.
I wouldn't say so in terms of comic book related news. Marvel always has some good comic stuff to show in this kind of conventions each year + there will be a Marvel Video Game panel, which means, that there is a possibility of seeing the second trailer for Thor: The Video Game and maybe, just maybe, some teaser of The First Avenger: Captain America - The Video Game.

Here is the official announcement from Marvel:
Saturday, October 9: 10:45 p.m. - 11:45 p.m., MARVEL VIDEO GAMES

Join us as we preview never-before-seen game videos, trailers, surprise reveals and more from the "Thor", "Captain America", "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions", "The Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet" video games, the "Super Hero Squad MMO" and Marvel vs. Capcom 3; followed by Q & A with talent from some of the industry's top publishers working on the next of wave Marvel Games.

Room 1A06

But, yes, I agree, that the whole "no comic book movies news for you this time" thing on such conventions is a bad thing indeed.

[echostation]

so does that mean that both films are in trouble... ie Thor has a huge chance of sucking?

[lixdexia]

no, it just means that they don't care about the east coast :(

[TheCorpulent1]

Great pic.

I thought it always had the Kirby swoop and looked like fabric. I don't recall any actual photographs where it didn't.

[Gamma Burst]

so does that mean that both films are in trouble... ie Thor has a huge chance of sucking?

So the movies are gonna suck only because they won't show footage at NYCC?
What kind of logic is that?

[TheCorpulent1]

Studios sometimes keep movies they don't think have turned out well under wraps so that people don't get a chance to spread bad word of mouth about them before their opening weekends. But I very much doubt that's the case with Thor. More likely, Marvel's suits probably figure they've given fans a taste of the movie with the San Diego Comic-Con footage and they're not quite ready to start really ramping up the promotional campaign for the movie's release, since said release is still over 6 months away.

That's my impression about it too.

[TheCorpulent1]

I think around February or March of next year we'll start seeing a lot more stuff about Thor.

[Parker Wayne]

I think around February or March of next year we'll start seeing a lot more stuff about Thor.

Yeah probably. We didn't see an official Iron Man 2 trailer until around December/January and they really didn't start going full force until February of this year with Marketing.

[Chewy]

I think around February or March of next year we'll start seeing a lot more stuff about Thor.
We'll definitely get a theatrical trailer before the year ends

[lixdexia]

i hope this years superbowl is full of trailers. i remember when the batman begins trailer hit, i gave up on the game and watched it on a loop for what had to be a half hour

[misjuevos]

hoping to see some lightning in the finished trailer. i really can't wait for this movie.

[TheCorpulent1]

I really just want to see him hit something/someone with Mjolnir.

[Figs]

i hope this years superbowl is full of trailers. i remember when the batman begins trailer hit, i gave up on the game and watched it on a loop for what had to be a half hour

Having a TV spot for Thor and or Captain America during the Superbowl would be fantastic. Although i've been getting into Football more and more as i'm getting older, the advertisements are still the best part of the Superbowl at times.

[Doctor Jones]

I like the hype of the Superbowl. It's about the only complete football game I watch. This year's game was boring as hell.

Hopefully there's a Cap or Thor spot. It will probably be Thor. Maybe a possible GL one too.

[DCUmoviepage]

Hopefully there's a Cap or Thor spot. It will probably be Thor. Maybe a possible GL one too.

I hope soo, if this happen will be a great Super Bowl! And i enjoy the Empire cover,maybe have new pics inside.

I'm guessing they take that back when the film comes out. heh
The thing I dislike about these critics is they judge something like the 3D only and not the entire film, or they have NO IDEA what they're talking about when it comes to the stories of the character. :doh:

THOR cover update from EMPIRE:
http://www.empireonline.com/images/magazine/cover.jpg

[RealIrOnMaN]

http://www.empireonline.com/images/magazine/257/1.jpg
Forsooth! What light through yonder magazine breaks? It's the Norse God of Thunder, and Kenneth Branagh is his director!

Our James went on set of Marvel's latest superhero movie to find out how Captain Kirk's dad, Shakespeare's biggest director and a really outlandish Avenger are getting along together.

Have they kept the Shakespearean dialogue that Thor is famous for? Will he bring the thunder? And what's this about The Destroyer?

[Vartha]

Cool, at least the cover's similar
THOR cover update from EMPIRE:
http://www.empireonline.com/images/magazine/cover.jpg

[RealIrOnMaN]

Empire Magazine: Here are a few tasters from director Kenneth Branagh himself on what we can expect from the Norse God:

"The issue of tone was crucial, because in the '60s run of comics it does get pretty camp. So the trick was finding a way to make a different kind of superhero - a god - compelling and arresting and not make him too flamboyant," says the former Shakespearean wunderkind.

"The script is an epic adventure with, at the centre, human dynamics. I looked at the relationships and saw brothers, mother, father and sons: the tight royal circle. When you get down to it, this is pure Shakespeare: it's a drama about familial problems concerning thse who possess great power."

"When I came along there had been several strands of development. One kept the movie entirely in the Viking era, and one was more fantastical. I wanted to do something that possibly touched on both. What appealed to me from the myths and comics was a sort of Prodigal Son story - of exile and return. That and the enjoyment of seeing a fish out of water. The notion of Asgardians coming to modern-day Earth was particularly important to me. I actually, coming from the direction of period drama, was the one most resistant to setting it entirely in a historical context."

For more from Branagh and star Chris Hemsworth, and loads more images from Thor, head on out and buy a copy of the November issue of Empire. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the movie is released on April 29 next year.

[NickNitro]

@RealIronman

Dude you are coming through with flying colors for us fans! This was a great exerpt (spelling) from Branagh and really shows how much he knows about what not to do with the movie. He said about not making it campy and try to touch on both the Viking and Mystical aspects of Thor.

He has a great head on his shoulders and I think will produce and fantastic film. Again this is the movie I am most hyped about for next year and I keep hearing better and better news.

Thanks again.

[RealIrOnMaN]

@RealIronmanThanks again.
Don't mention it) And yes, Kenneth is awesome in every way possible!

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm so glad they got him to direct. He really seems to understand the character dynamics of Thor. Big, epic spectacle on the surface, but a deeply emotional, character-driven family drama at its core. :up:

[GhostPoet]

I'll be honest...I love the helmet, but I think watching the film...I probably won't miss it.

[Crimson King]

I'll be honest...I love the helmet, but I think watching the film...I probably won't miss it.

I love the helmet too and agree with you. You know what I think it might be? Proportions. They're not going to get an actor big enough to match his size in the comics. When you put that helmet on a smaller, leaner actor, it doesn't look as good.

[TheCorpulent1]

The proportions seemed fine based on what little we saw of him with the helmet on in the Comic Con footage. But I won't really miss the helmet too much either. It's great that they included it, but I tend to just brace myself for any masked/helmeted heroes to lose their masks/helmets at some point in movies because movies demand actors' faces be shown. Spider-Man and Batman are basically the only exceptions I can think of, and that's mainly because they spend plenty of time out of costume in their movies anyway.

Thing is with Thor at least THIS version, being out of costume is the same guy, in a way the comic's Don Blake is his mask.
To ME I hope they use that helmet more often than just Throne room scenes. At least with movie posters I hope they have it on him.

[LuisTX85]

Based on the comic-con trailer/pic of Thor in&out of costume.....I assume he will only get his helmet in the beginning for the first two scenes and last scene.

With his helmet on most of the time for the Avengers!.

[Gamma Burst]

It seems Branagh really gets Thor!I'm sure this film is gonna be amazing,and my expectations couldn't be higher!

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

What are people's thoughts about the Empire article mentioning that Thor and the Asgardians are aliens?

[Crimson King]

Well, technically they are aliens since they're not from Earth.

[TheCorpulent1]

True. I don't really care what they call them, though. So long as no one involved in the production comes right out and says, "There is absolutely nothing divine about these characters at all, period," they're the Norse gods to me.

[Gamma Burst]

What are people's thoughts about the Empire article mentioning that Thor and the Asgardians are aliens?

No problem here.All the pantheons in the Marvel Universe are considered 'extra-dimensional' beings.It doesn't make them any less godly.

[DCUmoviepage]

The helmet is a classic part of Thor, but i dont feel if work on live action all the time, but looks nice on screen. Maybe the helmet is a simbol of honor and royalty, as Thor as been exile for Asgard, he dont deserve to use it,until he prove he is a humblest person .

[TheCorpulent1]

Parts of Thor's outfit definitely seem to have some kind of significance. It looks like Odin takes his cape away when he's banishing him, for example.

[GhostPoet]

[MikeFrost]

Movie game tie-ins suffer from a lack of time to develop. Too much pressure on a team of developers with a big release date to hit.

They have literally no more than 2 years/1 year and a half to produce these. Being on the industry myself, I can tell you that it's hilariously short time to produce a game from scratch.

i'll rent it because i like movie games (for the way they expand the movies universe) but i'll wait till it hits the $5 rack...and it will

"Saw a lot of Thor-related things. It's going to be amazing. Kenneth Branagh is awesome. I also had a meeting with Joss Whedon and they showed us some very cool ("The Avengers") stuff, that I can't talk about right now.

I also had a meeting with the new Spider-Man movie crew. Can't say or reveal anything. But I was surprised, when I found out that the guy from "The Social Network" is going to play Peter Parker."

In a way Sega had a head start on Thor if you think about it. They did Viking: Battle for Asgard too, and I loved that game.

Tho I get what you are saying they have many of the models for the game right there so HOPEFULLY they could use that to their advantage and work more on the stand alone Story (which was written by Fraction by the way).

[herolee10]

You know, there's one thing that I'm curious about.

I've read back, on how a lot of Thor fans were displeased when there were incarnations where Hulk was presented as Strong enough to lift up Thor's hammer, despite being "unworthy" for it since it felt like a slap to Thor's own character.


So how would fans of Thor feel if Captain America is able to lift it up in the upcoming Avengers film since I read that he was one of the very few who the hammer felt 'worthy'?

yeah I don't remember the waist strips either unless it's from later in the film.

[Son of Thunder]

Forget about the red strips - what about bare arms and completely different chest armor? There are no armored disks on it from the waist up. Kind of a cool walking around Asgard look, since he wouldn't need to be so armored up.

[Vartha]

Yeah I'm betting Thor will have different clothes for different purposes.

I'm glad they gave him a "face-scratching action" hand. That's an important feature.

So is the movie gonna have the 'Mighty Avenger' subtitle? Or is that a toys and merch thing? It'd make sense to use it for the movie since Captain America gets 'The First Avenger'.

[Son of Coul]

I'm thinking (and hoping) it's solely a merch thing. Cap's title is one thing but like Feige said, these movies gotta stand on their own and not seem like they're only a buildup to The Avengers. The toys I perfectly understand.

Shouldn't Thor be "the Divine Avenger," then? We could even get some free publicity when religious groups show up to protest the movie. :D

Hahaha! Great idea, would definitely put it in the spotlight.

Nah, christians don't protest any beliefs that are widely considered to be myths. there wouldn't be much point in that.

they just follow them :whatever:

[RetroNaz]

Anyways, let's keep the religious talk out of here as it can be quite offensive one way or the other.

According to CBM (http://www.**************.com/fansites/marvelfreshman/news/?a=23743#postcomment), they are doing reshoots of "Thor". Apparently they need to redo some secenes involving large crowds. The resoots will involve some prominents cast members as well as extras. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, but it certainly adds to the expense of the film.

Good thing when they need to reshoot something over, "let's just use what we have":woot:

[Moridin]

What vartha said.
Reshoots/pick ups are pretty common, they're not an indicator that the film is in trouble.

That hammer is ginormous compared to his hand. Does it light up or something? Looks like there's a battery inside the head.

[Vartha]

maybe the reflection of Warmachine behind Thor.
Tho I'm glad there's more than one figure, and they DO look alot better than the ones at SDCC.

[Brian Braddock]

Corps right imo, you can some semlance of a circuit and the hammer must light up otherwise the hammer wouldnt have been made so translucent.

It's a cool looking figure to be sure - so why do I think 'Bee Gee's' everytime I see it.

The superhero squad New Thor costume has thor spinning Mjolnir with a lightning bolt following the spin that's transparent and doesn't light up.
I can't see how they can make a 3 inch figure light up even with a watch battery.


heh cuz he does look alittle like one of the Gibb's

Oh ok. so..what did u just say again?

[TheCorpulent1]

The fact that the hammer's translucent doesn't necessarily mean it'll light up, basically.

[wobbly]

The Hammer looks a little loose on the hilt so it might be spring loaded using a piezo action as both the swtich and power for the light/Led (so no battery required). Don't think it would light up for long though.

A watch is smaller than a three inch figure and they usually light up, right??? It doesn't take much to light up a diode.

[Spider-Vader]

Yeah there's a light-up IM figure in that scale out right now.

I don't like that Thor's open hand though. But it looks pretty decent besides that.

[Still A ThorFan]

Did anyone notice Empire believes the movie will come out April 29th? And why is KB even mentioning the 60's Thor, that is 40 years ago. Any source material he needed for the movie he could have just got from the current volume. Nothing campy there.

THIS version had blue lightning and another same figure but with Abomination had clear lightning. NETHER lit up and was just plain Translucent.

Yeah true, thinking about it now a few of the EARLY toy biz figures had some light up figures and talking figures, (heh "I want to eat your Brains" Venom :D ) this Thor just doesn't look like it'd light up, I'd be happy if it did.
