Comic Con Trailer Description

[Ipodman]

Just watched it for the first time...

Anthony Hopkins is awesome! :)

[ArmsHeldOut]

Asgard looks fantastic. Can't wait to see how it looks in high def. And the costumes look much better in 'real time' as well. Hope the film doesn't take too many liberties though. For instance, if they make Odin's staff the source of his omnipotence, I won't be happy. Everyone knows that the "Odin Power" is the birthright of the sons of Bor. Okay.. maybe not everyone.

I suppose that would be like FF2 having the Silver Surfer's power being contained in the board.

[TheCorpulent1]

That was a bit obnoxious, but it didn't detract from the movie too much for me. I don't think Gungnir will be the source of Odin's power. I think it'll just be incredibly powerful in its own right, which it is in the comics, too. Hiddleston keeps mentioning it in his interviews.

[misjuevos]

i was just happy to see the sliver surfer he looked great. i hope we see loki doing magic i know hiddleston mentioned loki having infinte throwing knives, i would rather him shoot magic bolts. but maybe the knives will be in a greenish magic glow or something. or they will be conjured magic knives.

He really is. If anything, he definitely won't disappoint in this film. :yay:

That will definitely be a scene that I am looking forward too. Glowing knifes or not, lol.

did you know in norse myth odin got the spear at the same time as thor gets the hammer? when loki cuts off all of sif's hair, the dwarfs fashion gold hair and 2 other gifts (the spear and a ship that can shrink when not in use). on the way back to asgard loki offers the challenge to rival dwarfs to better the first gifts, the dwarfs meet the challenge by making mjolnir, a gold ring that makes more gold rings (ensuring the owner is rich) and a golden boar.

it should be noted that like thor's hammer, odin's spear returns to his hand when thrown.

I'm sure Corpy knew that, he does have at least one copy of the Prose Eddas.
Marvel HAS covered the issue of any Uru Weapon made will have that returning to the owner when called. Sif has had a Bow and Arrow set she used during a hunt made of Uru and she felled an animal and called the arrow back to her.

[MOVIELORD101]

Since no on answered my question from earlier, here it is again: what's the name of the rock music heard towards the end of the trailer?

[Vartha]

No idea Movielord. Probably a generic track.

[Whiskey Tango]

No idea. And I even sifted through about 7 or 8 pages of threads over at IMDB trying to find the answer for you. *twitch*

The quality of posters over there is very low, AICN talkbackers are bad but at least most of them can spell.

I'm just saying, that music sounds VERY much like the music heard in Iron Man...

[Vartha]

I'm just saying, that music sounds VERY much like the music heard in Iron Man...
Yeah I agree, but it might be a Basic Marvel track used for all the films as well.
actually have the trailer on loop again :D LOVE the Scene where Odin's addressing everyone in the Throne room. Also tring to spot anyone that MIGHT be Balder. :D

[Agent 194]

Just watched it for the first time...

Anthony Hopkins is awesome! :)


Yeah, and how does one watch it? And why isn't it posted on SUPERHEROHYPE? I've been away a week and I'm starting on my same rant. I'm not lauding Marvel because of their panel at ComicCon. I still say they've dropped the ball. Put it out there! I want to see it. Even bootleg footage. I don't see how that's a bad thing or can even be controlled in this day and age. The rules have changed. The game is different.

I did indeed know that. Later, Loki goes to Brokk and Eitri and bets his own head that they can't make treasures to outdo those three. So they make Draupnir, another set of hair for Sif, and Mjolnir. They win the bet but Loki notes he never bet his neck, which they'd have to cut through to get his head, so they get pissed and sew his mouth shut. :hehe:

I'm just saying, that music sounds VERY much like the music heard in Iron Man...
Probably is the same. It seemed like generic music they put in because the score isn't ready yet.

[Figs]

You can still find it on Youtube if you look around enough. I took a chance yesterday when I dropped by my parents after work to show my sister. Didn't think I would find it but it took me less than 10 minutes.

Just avoid those stupid ones that when you pull it up it has some advertisement for a website over the video and the video is a still shot of Asgard the entire time with no sound. I went to the sight and some popups came up, the kind that you don't want to click on due to possible viruses.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's all over the interwebs. The Hype's policies just prevent us from having it on our forums specifically. Marvel's trying to clamp down on it, but once stuff like that hits the internet once, it's out there pretty much forever if you look hard enough.

Exactly.

There are people who will constantly upload it on Youtube and other sites and use different usernames if their old ones get locked or banned for breaking the rules. In fact I think i'm going to watch the trailer again. :awesome:

Do you have a Facebook?

[the dmg]

So I finally watched the trailer, and it got me excited even more for this movie.

[Avengers-Report]

So I finally watched the trailer, and it got me excited even more for this movie.

Good trailers do do that.

[the dmg]

Good trailers do do that.
Good trailers can also lead to disappointment.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd blame that more on the badness of a full movie than the goodness of a trailer, personally.

While that's true, a great trailer can be misleading to how the movie actually is.

[Vartha]

So I finally watched the trailer, and it got me excited even more for this movie.
and to think this trailer isn't even a finished product. :D

[Agent 194]

I want to quote an article I just found on the subject and I want to give the author credit....a guy named Mike Masnick I believe.....in it he says.....

" (the trailer) appears to have been taken down from a bunch of sites, though others claim you can find it if you really want."

"Either way, I'm trying to figure out how this makes any sense at all. It's a trailer. The whole idea of it is to act as advertising for the movie and get people more interested in seeing the movie. And having people put it online for you makes it free advertising, which is even better. So why take it down at all?"

Yes, how does it make sense? Life long Marvel fan,...but boo hiss on you right now Marvel. Stan Lee was the PT Barnum of comics. Mr. Promotion. Give' em what they want. And give 'em stuff they didn't know they wanted. If the internet had been around back in Marvel's hey day of the '60's and early '70's Stan would have known how to use it and would have used it way better than this. Again....BOO, HISS on you Marvel. Dummies.

[Figs]

Agent, have you seen it yet?

[Whiskey Tango]

Jesus Christ. For one reason the FX aren't finished, and as soon as a bunch of haters see it all they start doing is going on and on and on about how cheesy it looks and how ****** the FX are and how the movie is doomed to failure because the guys that run the show are clearly incompetents who can't even put out a decent looking bit of footage.

That's ONE reason why, how many more do you need?

[paulogonza]

i saw the trailer and is perfect to me. my expectations is very high, here in brazil, the video was one of the most acess , including a exhibition on a show on open Tv, i can ´t believe when i saw.

[Figs]

I believe there was a shot or two in the footage where Thor holds Mjollnir up in the air and I expect lighting to strike it in the finished film...hopefully.

[TheCorpulent1]

You mean the part where he lifts it in the throne room? I think lightning striking it there would be a bit awkward. At the very least, Odin would be like, "Damn it, boy, what have I told you about scorch marks?!" :funny:

[Figs]

Hahaha! Not sure if that was it but if it is, then fail on my part. I could have sworn there was one shot on Earth but maybe i'm wrong.

I do think that when he finally lifts it from the rock it's stuck in he'll hold it up and lightning will crash down. If not, that would be a missed opportunity.

[TheCorpulent1]

Definitely gotta have lightning for that part. I hope it totally shreds the SHIELD facility. :hehe:

The visuals that just came into my head have me excited for the possibilites.

Then why show anybody at all? Why show the ComicCon attendees if what you've got to show is so embarrassing. I don't believe that. I think it's beign over protective and poor assessment of the fans. I just think....again,...in this day and age....that the genie's out of the bottle already and there's no sense putting a cork on it.

And for the record.....I'm not a hater. I'm a realist and I have expectations. It's summer...give me a little ice cream....a little trailer treat.

[Whiskey Tango]

Have you not seen it yet?

[SuperFerret]

I did indeed know that. Later, Loki goes to Brokk and Eitri and bets his own head that they can't make treasures to outdo those three. So they make Draupnir, another set of hair for Sif, and Mjolnir. They win the bet but Loki notes he never bet his neck, which they'd have to cut through to get his head, so they get pissed and sew his mouth shut. :hehe:


It's stuff like this that makes me love Norse myth above all else.

[Whiskey Tango]

I do think that when he finally lifts it from the rock it's stuck in he'll hold it up and lightning will crash down. If not, that would be a missed opportunity.

KRAK-A-THOOOOM!!! I hope it transforms him back into his armor and cape. And helmet.

[Agent 194]

Yes, thanks again Figs. Nice....now what did that hurt? I say thee NAY Marvel. Or quit saying NAY yourself.

because this is not for advertisement...this was for the fans and people at Comic con to get a glimpse at how they are doing things.
The completed trailer will be on the IM 2 bluray.
I mean just look at some of the responses to the trailer..."It looks like a set".
Had they not shown anything people would be ready to declare Marvel dead

[Agent 194]

I just saw it (and thank you for those of you who sent me links....I shall let you remain anonymous....I'm real good at keeping secrets) and I didn't necessarily see a set. Guess I kind of looked at it like a father looks at a picture his child did for him. You don't see the imperfections. Guess I looked more at content than specifics about FX. I liked what I saw. I just don't think that would have hurt to show us. Everyone on here is a fan. Show us.

[misjuevos]

when loki points odin's spear at thor i assume it will shoot a blast. so there are a couple scenes where they didnt have time to add the effects yet. just wait till you see thor fly or mjolnir channeling lightning bolts or loki's magic, gonna be epic

[Whiskey Tango]

I am quite excited. May is a long way away.

[misjuevos]

just think though, we get thor cap, and gl in the same year. not too shabby

[Avengers-Report]

Probably the reason why we didn't get many fight scenes.

[misjuevos]

yea this footage was just to show the characters and locations. still was awesome.

[Crockett]

just think though, we get thor cap, and gl in the same year. not too shabby

Yeah but don't forget X-Men: First Class. :cwink:

[MOVIELORD101]

Yeah but don't forget X-Men: First Class. :cwink:

ANOTHER X-MEN PREQUEL?! The last one was mediocre enough!

[TheCorpulent1]

The best part about First Class is how it features all of like three characters from the X-Men's actual first class. :doh:

It's stuff like this that makes me love Norse myth above all else.
I know, the gods are such total jerkwads. It's awesome. Have you heard that other myth where Odin contracts a giant to build Asgard new walls, then spends like the entire time behind the scenes with Loki coming up with ways to screw the giant out of his payment? Way to set an example, you old bastard. :lmao:

KRAK-A-THOOOOM!!! I hope it transforms him back into his armor and cape. And helmet.
I think it definitely will. How else are we gonna tell "god" Thor apart from "human" Thor? Gotta be the threads. :awesome:

Probably the reason why we didn't get many fight scenes.
Yeah, if they're trying to do justice to Thor's powers, any fight scenes where he has them will need special effects. Flying, displays of obscene super-strength, lightning flashing out of Mjolnir, Mjolnir being thrown and returning, etc. Gotta have the effects to make Thor look like Thor in a fight.

[Crockett]

ANOTHER X-MEN PREQUEL?! The last one was mediocre enough!

I honestly thought that the movie was doomed from the start. But this one will be better...hopefully.

[JeetKuneDo]

Thor may be getting more pub from this than if they just put out a trailer. The forbidden fruit thing. If people think they can't have something, they want it more.

[misjuevos]

Yeah but don't forget X-Men: First Class. :cwink:
yea i forgot about that one. well i have to say the x-men seem to be stuck in a damned if you do damned if you dont situation. so i just really want them to come back to marvel studios. then maybe we could see an age of apocalypse movie. or onslaught movie with the avengers.

[JeetKuneDo]

yea i forgot about that one. well i have to say the x-men seem to be stuck in a damned if you do damned if you dont situation. so i just really want them to come back to marvel studios. then maybe we could see an age of apocalypse movie. or onslaught movie with the avengers.

Sweet.

The problem now is that in order for Marvel to get stuff back, it has to fail badly at other studios first. :( Then they gotta overcome that failure when they put it out (i.e. The Hulk).

[MOVIELORD101]

The best part about First Class is how it features all of like three characters from the X-Men's actual first class.

But STILL, it's bad enough that Fox pissed all over Wolverine's famed backstory, but this is horse****. And as awesome of a director as Matthew Vaughn is, he'll be powerless to try and salvage whatever mess the screenwriter and Tom Rothman make.

Also, slightly OT, but what's up with all these Adrian Brody Marvel film rumors? First Ant-Man, now DR. STRANGE? Look, he was good in Predators and King Kong, but this is stupid. Where are these rumblings coming from?:huh:

[Crockett]

Yep me too, I wish Marvel didn't sell the movie rights in the first place.
But they got back Bryan Singer, even though he's not directing at least he gets the mythology. Vaughn too since he was originally attached to do X-Men: The Last Stand.

[misjuevos]

they got the punisher back so they are trying to get their stuff back atleast, it will take time though specially since some are still raking in money.

[MOVIELORD101]

they got the punisher back so they are trying to get their stuff back atleast, it will take time though specially since some are still raking in money.

And the Fantastic 4, remember?

[Crockett]

As far as I'm concern I think Fox still have the rights for Fantastic Four. They are doing a reboot and they're focusing it and release it after First Class.

if they didnt sell the rights then they never would have been able to start up their movie company. so its sort of like the gift of the magi sort of deal,lol. marvel now has its own movie studio and has lost some of its main characters. its quite funny and ironic.

[TheCorpulent1]

But STILL, it's bad enough that Fox pissed all over Wolverine's famed backstory, but this is horse****. And as awesome of a director as Matthew Vaughn is, he'll be powerless to try and salvage whatever mess the screenwriter and Tom Rothman make.
I agree. I don't know if I worded my post badly, but I meant that I'm not looking forward to First Class because it's not really the X-Men's first class. It's a bunch of random characters they're throwing together for God knows why. When I think "first class," I want to see Beast and Iceman getting up to mischief, Cyclops pining for Jean, Angel being the arrogant yet depressed rich kid, etc. The actual first class of X-Men.

[misjuevos]

i think they should just bring in cable and retcon the x3 from happening. or the whole series whatever. or just make a new movie and use the original x-force i always like cable and x-force.

anyway, i cant wait for thor, its gonna be epic.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd love to see how the movies would try and handle Cable's origin.

"So, who are you anyway, Cable?"

"Well, you see, Cyclops and a clone of Jean Grey are actually my parents. I was infected with a techno-organic virus as a baby, so Cyclops was forced to send me far into the future to be cured. I was raised there, ironically, by Cyclops and Jean themselves, whose minds were taken from their present-day bodies and placed into the bodies of two people from the future, Slim and Red. Mother Askani (who is actually Rachel Summers, Cyclops and Jean's daughter from another possible future) prophesied that I would destroy Apocalypse, so I was trained to do that. I fought him but couldn't defeat him then, so I decided to come back to your present--my past (but also kind of my future, if you think about it)--to destroy Apocalypse here. Along the way, I cured my techno-organic virus problem, which freed my massive psychic powers up. So Cyclops, Jean, and I destroyed Apocalypse (but he got better), and then I sort of went off and used my psychic powers to set myself up as a mutant messiah. Only, later on, I met the actual mutant messiah, went back through time to various futures, trying to outrun another time traveler named Bishop, who wanted to kill the messiah. Finally, I came back to the present and gave my life for the actual messiah. Er... what was the question again?"

"I don't even know what's going on anymore... :wow:"

[misjuevos]

I'd love to see how the movies would try and handle Cable's origin.

"So, who are you anyway, Cable?"

"I don't even know what's going on anymore... :wow:"

yea that would really make them say wtf?

[misjuevos]

just think if they tried the x-cutioner's song,lol or AOA. have you met my "brother" stryfe , or my "alternate reality self" nate grey, lol

[Vartha]

5 words, then: NO SUE STORM NUDE GAGS!!!!!!:cmad:
depends on WHO Sue Storm IS this time around. :D

elizabeth banks would be a good choice.

I'd love for my non-comic reading friends to see that. I'd just be like, "Welcome to the world of the X-Men comics since the late '80s." :csad:

[MOVIELORD101]

depends on WHO Sue Storm IS this time around. :D

NONE. PERIOD. I don't care if she's played by PARIS HILTON, those gags were only there to make the fanboys drool and distracted people from what was going on plot-wise. Which is total ********.:cmad:

have you ever seen malice, black leather outfit, or how female characters are drawn in the comics, c'mon.

[MOVIELORD101]

At least they didn't have to strip off their clothes or wind up suddenly naked for some stupid reason.

[misjuevos]

At least they didn't have to strip off their clothes or wind up suddenly naked for some stupid reason.
in the first movie she was nake so she could be invisible and you wouldnt see the clothes. in the second one it was because her clothes burned off after she got johhny's power, not like she was just walking down the street and her clothes fell off.

That's exactly my point. Despite those reasons, they were just excuses for pointless titlation.

[misjuevos]

atleast they were fair and gave the women something for them too, lol

[Vartha]

...there were points.....two of them :D

we needed something to counter act the shirtless johnny storm moments, be thankful

True...and frustrating.

The word "titillation" is aptly named.

Just wait for the shirtless Captain America moments no doubt coming up. ;)

[MOVIELORD101]

Actually, I just think Tim Story's a horny perv. That's the only reason those Jessica Alba nude scenes were put into the script.

[JeetKuneDo]

Just wait for the shirtless Captain America moments no doubt coming up. ;)
I wonder if this all goes back to the Peter Parker shirtless scene in Spider-Man 1 that I know from personal experience got a lot of teen girls excited.

I don't suppose Tim Story is set to direct a Scarlett Johanssen movie any time soon?

Just saying... (Still mad at Michael Bay for not letting her get nude in The Island)

At least BAY HAS SOME CLASS, frat-boy humor aside!

[TheCorpulent1]

I wonder if this all goes back to the Peter Parker shirtless scene in Spider-Man 1 that I know from personal experience got a lot of teen girls excited.
"Now, then, let's get these tests star--my God, Steve, what happened to your shirt?"

"What's that, Dr. Erskine? I'm sorry, I thought you were asking for tickets... to the GUN SHOW!"

:D

[misjuevos]

Just wait for the shirtless Captain America moments no doubt coming up. ;)

well cap is a test subject so you know he will be. probably in all the test they run on him, like wolverine, cause you know you have to be shirtless to get a shot in your arm, lol
i also forgot about defoe who just drank a vile and got strapped to a table, but for some reason had to be topless,lol

holy crap we also got a topless thor already before any official trailer came out, this is getting out of hand,lol

The shirt could have interfered with his experiment. I mean, my God, man, look how crazy he wound up without a shirt. Can you even imagine what he would've been like with one? :dry:

[misjuevos]

no earthly coil, nor earthly fabric can hold the mighty thor!

[TheCorpulent1]

The fact that the ladies love Thor has translated over from the comics perfectly. :up:

if anything im starting to feel cheated now, guys are getting left out. seems like everything is for the ladies in these movies. we need some female nudity or tna shots, something, c'mon marvel why must you forget about the male fans,lol

[RockSP]

NONE. PERIOD. I don't care if she's played by PARIS HILTON,

Okay, that's just disgusting.

We're content with watching dudes hit each other with very large weapons. Which probably says something about us, but I won't go there. :)

[misjuevos]

if you look back on the movies seems like male fans got cheated now that i think about it, im glad this point was brought up,lol
we get 2 alba scenes and a wet tshirt dunst,
we didnt even get an assless suit electra,lol
the rest is for females, shirtless hulk and norton, muscle shirt stark,shirtless thor,spiderman movies are full of shirtless dudes, not to mention x-men and wolverine stuff, and the johnny storm stuff.
i hope we get some sif or female asgardian love slaves in thor movie to make up for this bias.

I'd be willing to bet those scenes were a mandate from the studio, aka Tom "I Eat Kittens With Mustard And They Are Crunchy And Delicious" Rothman.

You do have a point there. Anyway, getting back on topic, I'm still trying to find out the rock music from the footage. Could be from Groove Addicts or some other trailer music company.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Trailer was meh to me. Some of the acting was pretty poor, heard Hemsworth's accent coming through, Natalie Portman's character is REALLY giving off that cookie cutter damsel in distress love interest vibe, and some pretty cheesy dialogue. All the action looked pretty top notch though. But considering this is stuff that is not meant to be seen by the public I am gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and reserve judgment until the official trailer hits the internet.

[Microchip]

heard Hemsworth's accent coming through
Yeah he's clearly not making any attempt to hide it, but consider that Anthony Hopkins and Loki aren't either. Clearly Asgard doesn't speak with an American accent, so you'll have to deal with them sounding British/Australian.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, some Asgardians might have American accents. Jaimie Alexander, Rene Russo, and Josh Dallas are all American, although none of them had many lines in the CCI footage. Not sure whether they'll try to fake British accents or use their native accents...

[demento]

Just watched the trailer for the umpteenth time.

I've got a good feeling about the movie but I really hope to see Thor exhibiting his godly powers, e.g. calling down the thunder, the trademark whirling of Mjolnir by the strap at Mach 10 before throwing it as he so often does in the books.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, they squeezed a hammer throw in toward the end. I'm sure he'll do other godly stuff; they probably didn't have time to put those effects in for the sizzle reel.

[demento]

Yeah, I caught the throw near the end and thought it a little tame by comic book standards. I guess I'm just anxious to see some ridiculous supernatural velocity behind it. That said, I really dug the leaping/screaming hammer strike during what must be his face-off with Loki.

And speaking of all things Thor-related, I just caught a commercial for a made for SyFy movie called "Frost Giant." No doubt it's just another goofy SyFy original but apparently the monster is based on the giants of Norse myth.

[The Sage]

I don't have any problems with Hemsworth's accent coming through. It helps sell that he's from a different realm.

[TheCorpulent1]

The mysterious and magical realm called "Australia." ;)

Yeah, Sci Fi's done some Norse movies. The best one I saw was Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King, which is an adaptation of the Nibelung saga from Germanic mythology. It had Kristanna Loken in it. And there was another one called Thor: Hammer of the Gods that had the oldest kid from Home Improvement in it. :D

Damn Gonna Have to keep an eye out for that now too.
I finally got to see the SCI-Fi Thor:Hammer of the gods, and it WAS pretty bad. I don't have cable so I have to wait for friends to tape the stuff for me.

[Sarg92]

Just seen the Comic Con trailer.

It is okay, nothing spectacular to sell me the film.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

As an English person, I can safely say he sounded more English than Australian, only when he said 'Earth' did I hear a bit of his accent coming through but even then it wasnt much, his english accent was actually pretty good.

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought so too, but I'm usually a pretty terrible judge of accents. He sounds like he fits with Hopkins, at least, which is the most important thing to me.

[terry78]

You guys are the default vocal inflection whenever we need someone who is otherworldly or a villain. Everyone knows that. Though I always read Ultimate Thor as having a cliche flat American accent, even when he becomes the "real deal" in the later book.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm just glad Hemsworth's voice is so deep. It seems like they always cast really nasal, whiny-sounding voice actors for Thor in the various cartoons and games and such he's appeared in.

I caught that "Earth" thing too. I used to date an Australian girl so my ears pick that up.

I was wondering if it's possible his accent will be different while on Earth and without his powers. Maybe that would cause him to talk different?

[50yroldfffan]

Just found the trailer on the web! have to say it was cool!! Took some digging to find it but I did and it's not a boot leg. The Destroyer was awsome!!

[misjuevos]

i just hope its not as bad as worthington in clash of the titans, his accent was all over the place.

[Casius--J]

Checked out the ComiCon footage last night, wow was I impressed and the quality was pretty good. I was already looking forward to seeing this movie because lets face it, its a comic book movie i'm always going to be there! But now i'm officially excited, right now at this moment its my most anticipated movie of next year!!!

[Wolvieboy17]

That was a BRITISH accent not an AUSSIE accent. I'm an aussie, and that is definitely a shakespearian style Aussie accent. I think he sounds like Sean Bean in LOTR as a comparison. I just hate it when people think they here some aussie accent when it's actually just a british dialect and they can't tell the difference between aussie and british.

On top of that, he has a more regal sound to his accent, which is a very UN Australian thing lol. There is no such thing as a regal australian accent. He sounds more Prince of Persia than he does Buckeroo Bonzai

[First Avenger]

Pretty great trailer,I hope it won't disappoint

[hatebox]

When they cut the 2 minute trailer they have to make the basic plot and Thor's motivations more obvious. The 5 minute trailer is visually exciting but the premise looks a mess as it is. Directors and writers should assume the audience is smart, marketers should assume the audience is stupid.

[Doctor Jones]

I can't wait to see the bigger more finished special effects in the trailer. Because that will peak the GA's interest. If it looks epic.

[NickNitro]

Yea I cant wait to see Asgard and Thor in all its HD glory :D

@Corp About those Syfy movies I watched the Thor one. I was completely astounded that Randy from Home Improvement was still acting haha. Was a pretty cheesy movie but Its ok B movies are fun to watch sometimes :)

[ultimatefan]

I don´t wanna sound pretentious, but I can´t help noticing the story very much has typical Shakesperian themes. War is coming, a son is disapproved and cast out by his own father the king, his deceitful, manipulative brother ascends to the throne through lies. Branagh was a good match.

http://www.bostonherald.com/entertainment/movies/general/view/20100731kenneth_branagh_says_shakespeare_akin_to_t hor/srvc=home&position=recent

SAN DIEGO — Kenneth Branagh is directing "Thor" for Marvel Studios, and some think it’s a stretch for him to take on a superhero movie. He’s more Shakespearean, having adapted several of the Bard’s films for the big screen.

But the 49-year-old actor-director says Shakespeare’s characters aren’t unlike today’s superheroes.

Shakespeare wrote about "Henry V" centuries after his reign, and turned the king into a sort of superhero who could do no wrong, Branagh says.

"We know that we’re interested in superheroes, kings, gods, because of their sort of human-like failings. So it seemed to me not as much of a stretch as some people might think," Branagh said at last week’s Comic-Con, where he presented footage from the film. "The stretch part of it is embracing the whole world of digital effects. That’s been something I’ve just loved because it’s — if you can think it, they can do it. And that’s exciting."

Natalie Portman, a star of "Thor," said the story is perfect for Branagh to handle.

"Ken is very aware of epic stories and, you know, these sort of mythological family structures that are at the base of all the classic texts," she said. "And the fact that this is classic mythology even though it is a super hero and a comic book movie, it was really a perfect fit."

"Thor" also stars Chris Hemsworth, Kat Dennings and Anthony Hopkins. It’s set for release next year.

[MOVIELORD101]

Currently scanning Google for any info on what the name of the rock music in the footage was. So far, can't find anything.

[NickNitro]

yea Vartha its funny I watched 3 ninjas with my friends a couple of days ago and there were points in the film you could see the stunt doubles that looked nothing like the actors/camera men in reflections of car windows. We had a great laugh because I loved that movie when I was around 10.

We're always so serious about movies especially on this site, its nice to sit back and just laugh at stupid movies sometimes :)

They got the banishment part of it pretty well. I agree, though, they could stand to clarify just what the story builds to after that. As a comic fan, I know Loki becoming king is a bad thing, but the trailer didn't give you much of a sense of how bad Loki is or why Thor would ultimately have to depose him.

I own Dark Kingdom. I loved that movie. That's why Early on I was saying Kristanna would have made a GREAT Sif or Valkyrie. Her acting wasn't all that bad really. lol

[TheCorpulent1]

She's kind of associated with terrible movies at this point, though. BloodRayne, Terminator 3, etc. :csad:

[Vartha]

No harm as an Extra. I mean there are 9 Valkyries. :D who notice? lol

Too bad no Brunnhilde in Thor... would've been a cool cameo.

Wager's Ring, the opera is the same thing, AND the Eye of Odin Arc with Thor as Sigfried and Sigurd is the adaption of the Ring of Nibelungs.

http://www.**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20865

Iron Man 2http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20865#) is one of the most highly anticipated home releases of the year. Dozens of extra features and extended scenes guarantee that every fan will want to get their hands on it once available in stores. If the already revealed extras aren't enough to pique your interest, this may do the trick: The Thor movie compilation and Captain America teaser trailerhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20865#) will both be included in the sequel's 2-disc Special Edition Blu-Ray.


Unfortunately, they won't be easy to find. The features will be "hidden" in a special S.H.I.E.L.D. Data Vault (an obvious nod to the infamous S.H.I.E.L.D. prison of the same name). I have it on good authority that the Thor footage included on the Blu-Ray disc will be finalized with full effects and CG. There is some bad news, though; the Captain Americahttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.**************.com/fansites/Poniverse/news/?a=20865#) teaser may not reveal Chris Evans in his movie costume. Since these features have to be added to the disc docket before it's ready for mass production, a decision of how much will be revealed has to be made within the next few days.


No confirmation whether these features will also be included on the DVD release or other, limited edition releases. The Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray hits shelves September 2010.

[misjuevos]

that's great news. did fav have anything to do with it, or is it just something marvel threw in for anticipation. i know fav likes to give the fans tons of stuff. like how he brought some footage of his movie he barely started shooting to comic con. i'm looking forward to seeing the finished effects and cap footage for the first time.i know there will be some mjolnir and odin's spear will have effects.like the scene when odin cast thor out he raises mjolnir. they probably will show a new effect.

I just hope it's on DVD. I can't afford a Blu-ray player

[Figs]

That will be ****ing awesome if they do in fact have the finished effects in some of those scenes.

[Vartha]

Indeed it will!

[misjuevos]

i was gonna buy iron man 2 anyway this is just icing on the cake

[dark_b]

what effects were not finished in teh comics con trailer

[Aesop Rocks]

probably a mass majority of them, to be honest. The movie has only been done filming for a couple months and still has a ways to go.

[LegendaryCaleb]

supposedly footage leaked...was it as good as it sounds?
cause i never witnessed it so i have to go from opinions lol

[Aesop Rocks]

besides the greatest thing of ever?

[dark_b]

probably a mass majority of them, to be honest. The movie has only been done filming for a couple months and still has a ways to go.there were not a lot of effeect shots. only asgard was CGI and wire removal.

everything else were practical effects.

[Aesop Rocks]

well still! :awesome:

[dark_b]

the asgard footage will not change a lot .maybe they will add some glowign to the hammer.


i guess its enough to get naive Thor fans to buy the expensive IM blu ray.

[Aesop Rocks]

:whatever:

[dark_b]

dont be angry at me that you will maybe buy the blu ray only to see the footage..........and yet it will be on youtube 6 days later.

[misjuevos]

there were a couple scenes to add effects to.when odin cast thor out he raises mjolnir and you see a lightning effect. im sure they will add the lightning coming from mjolnir itself. when loki raise odin's spear he points it, i assume it will shoot a blast of some kind. the pan of asgard will be polished up. when thor raise mjolnir without his helmet i think he is calling some lightning down. the frost giants might be polished. and the part where thor throws mjolnir might change. they might replace the prop with a cg mjolnir and give it some velocity.

[Aesop Rocks]

dont be angry at me that you will maybe buy the blu ray only to see the footage..........and yet it will be on youtube 6 days later.

No, why would I buy a movie I didn't like? I love the assumptions you're jumping to, it's making my morning.

[dark_b]

i forgot to add a smile. i was just joking. :)

who even liked IM2?

[Aesop Rocks]

A lot of people, to be honest.

[Vartha]

what effects were not finished in teh comics con trailer
Well from what we've seen in the Concept art of Thor's costume alone, the Disc's "gear" impressions glow like Ulty Thor's discs, Mjolnir's handle glows between the Leather straps not to mention the Mallet head glow's from inside.
I'm sure static discharges will happen in the Loki/Thor fight.
There's that scene that's Close up on Thor as he pulls back and Chris's eyes are wide open and angry, I can see small lightning bolts roll over his eyes. lol

[Vartha]

i forgot to add a smile. i was just joking. :)

who even liked IM2?
ME, for one. Several people liked it over the 1st. I liked alot of the humor. lol the site gags. One of my faves is when Tony uses Cap's shield to balance out the lazor/atom-smasher thingy. lol

[Figs]

I also liked it, not as much as the first IM though. I think some of the humour should have been toned down but a good amount of it was done well. I just love how people ignorantly say that the entire movie was just an Avengers setup because Fury had a couple scenes in it that lasted all of 3-4 minutes.

[Casius--J]

I loved Iron Man 2, and the extra features on the Blu ray is a great idea as I planned to get it in that format(my first one)

[Aesop Rocks]

I liked Iron Man 2. I just wanted more action.

[DarkSovereignty]

loved iron man 2 and will definitely get it when it comes out, will the comic con footage be on the dvd or just the blu ray?

[TheCorpulent1]

I liked Iron Man 2 as well. It wasn't as good as the first (largely because it repeated a lot of the first's plot points), but it was entertaining enough to get me to come back a couple more times in the theater.

[S.A.A.D.]

Ironman 2 is a worthy enough sequel to buy on dvd imo. :yay:


And I liked Ghost Rider too,although I didn't hate it,I still think that much of is okay.

[JeetKuneDo]

i forgot to add a smile. i was just joking. :)

who even liked IM2?

From my feelings at the moment, I liked it even more than IM1. The Stark/Potts banter reminded me of another of my favorite movies, His Girl Friday (it's actually the movie credited with inventing the overlapping dialog style).

Both villains were better than IM1 and Scarlett Jo was not only hot but had one of the best female action scenes I've ever seen.

The only thing I would have changed is the Rhodey plot line. That whole thing feels forced to me.

I'm not 100% certain that it is possible to dislike a movie in which RDJ plays the lead to be honest.

Back to the Thor trailer: Just checked out a thread devoted to it on a forum for an online game called City of Heroes and they all seemed to like it a lot. Bunch of comics loving folks play that game. Really the only people that seem to hate it are the posters at Rotten Tomatoes. They seem to operate under the flawed assumption that there is only one way to make a super hero movie though (like The Dark Knight).

[Fanticon]

i personally loved what i saw, and that is a very rough cut of a soon to be trailer, there is certainly room to improve, sound fx and special effects to add and a score. Branagh knows drama, we'll have to see how he handles action, suspense and fx as well.

Don't know that yet. So far just the Blu ray.

[Whiskey Tango]

I loved Iron Man 2 and furthermore I plan on buying the 2-disc dvd and watching it about 1,645,637,828,625,423,584,525,345,215,521 times. And that's a lot of times.

[Darkness Falls]

hoping its on the dvd version, but not really worried, it'll be on youtube ethier way :)

....calculate that into hours....

Yeah more than likely. I'd rather own it

[S.A.A.D.]

....calculate that into hours....

If my calculation is correct,that would be basically 1342727372421218931761250000000 hours.

The movie clocks in at 126 minutes,I was off by 1 minute.

[TheCorpulent1]

From my feelings at the moment, I liked it even more than IM1. The Stark/Potts banter reminded me of another of my favorite movies, His Girl Friday (it's actually the movie credited with inventing the overlapping dialog style).

Both villains were better than IM1 and Scarlett Jo was not only hot but had one of the best female action scenes I've ever seen.

The only thing I would have changed is the Rhodey plot line. That whole thing feels forced to me.

I'm not 100% certain that it is possible to dislike a movie in which RDJ plays the lead to be honest.

Back to the Thor trailer: Just checked out a thread devoted to it on a forum for an online game called City of Heroes and they all seemed to like it a lot. Bunch of comics loving folks play that game. Really the only people that seem to hate it are the posters at Rotten Tomatoes. They seem to operate under the flawed assumption that there is only one way to make a super hero movie though (like The Dark Knight).
So, what you're saying is that Rotten Tomatoes' forums are populated entirely by Warner Bros. executives? ;)

sick buuuurn on the WB

[Vartha]

Corpy has his days don't he? lol

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks Superman would be improved by making him more like Batman needs to be either fired or smacked or both. :o

[Vartha]

I don't know Corpy, When I DID collect anything with Supes in it, it was Brave and Bold.
Supes on his own bores me unless it's Smallville

[TheCorpulent1]

I can't speak to you anymore, Vartha. :o

[Vartha]

lol He does! Though I haven't read it since the 80's.

[roach]

I'm sorry, but anyone who thinks Superman would be improved by making him more like Batman needs to be either fired or smacked or both. :o

and in that order too...Superman should be the easiest hero to do. If I was in charge I would do Death of Superman...next movie would be World with out a Friend/Reign of the Supermen and the last one would be the Return of Superman

Smallville is like getting manually pleasured by a hot girl but never being allowed to finish...
"Look Clark's flying...no he just jumped real high"

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd adapt Joe Kelly's story, "What's so Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way?" Just put your best foot forward and show people exactly why Superman is the greatest superhero of all time.

[Vartha]

Yeah I'm getting sick of it. My fave show was the Justice Society

That's exactly what I've often thought about and how I would do it if I were in charge. Though I'd probably do it in 2 movies. The first movie would end with a cliffhanger introducing the different Supermen.

The best things come to those who wait. With that said, I have really high hopes for season 10. I loved the last season w/ all the checkmate references and what not.

We're not only going to get flight this season, but TW is expected to finally wear the suit by the end of the year. Rosenbaum might even make a surprise guest appearance! No Batman though. ::SIGH::

[misjuevos]

stopped watching like in 04 or 05 can't remember. he was such a pussy. they are showing it again on hdnet, 3 eps a day mon-fridey, trying to watch. still really crappy though.

sounds like what they said at the begining of season 7,8 and 9

[Vartha]

Probably see the Blur forever.

[KangConquers]

Agreed. When you're DC comics and you only have three great heroes (Green Lantern being the third) you have the mantain the integrity of each.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, I wouldn't say DC only has three great heroes, but anytime you have two things as different as Superman and Batman, it's a disservice to both to try and homogenize them. Celebrate their differences. Not every superhero has to be grimdark. They tried that about 20 years ago in the comics and it ultimately blew up in their faces. :o

[roach]

I agree with this. Superman should inspire us to greatness. The movie should be the ultimate showing of heroism. The flying scenes should blow away anything we have ever seen.

[Vartha]

I'm not saying make Supes "grim". It was just the stories that bored me.
The recent one that started in the Free Comic book day looked promising. I just can't afford more books with Thor having multiple appearances and books.

Also, years ago even as a kid the color pallet DC used was just to Bland to me as a kid. That always stuck with me for some reason. Seemed like DC's color pallet changed around the time the New Teen Titans was being done by Perez.

[roach]

the best Superman stories I have read were the whole death and return epic...and the one where he goes up against a Authority-like team of super humans and proves why he is the best

[Vartha]

hahaha now THIS is fun Supes. I hadn't even seen this Herc preview. hahah Ironic Corpy lol

[truth]

So when does the trailer get officially released so it can be openly discussed?

[Surfer]

Hey does anyone else notice that in the 1st scene they use the word Galactus and in the explosion of the black hole it appears to be a screaming image of what looks somewhat like Marvel Comics Galactus. Was this comic from a Marvel DC cross over, or is it just something the artist kind of hid in the artwork for fans to get a kick out of it.

Surfer

The Thor trailer has already hit the web, despite it not being officially released. You are able to discuss the Thor trailer on the forum freely, but you are not able to request links or for people to send you the trailer itself, as that would surely get you banned.

Well the reason the pages are from Marvel's Hercules: Twilight of a God. It's a story of Herc that's set in the Future that Bob Layton started YEARS ago. Basically Galactus exploded creating out universe (in those top panels is past events) well in the main story the Big G is becoming a Black hole.

[Vartha]

Actually the soonest we'll see the Footage from both Thor and Cap that was at SDCC is when IM2 comes out in stores. We've heard the footage will be an easter egg on the Special blu-ray but no word if it'll be on the special DVD.
You can TALK about the content of the footage you CAN'T post links to it or pics of it. Also the AUDIO is fine to post for some reason.

That page is from a Marvel comic. No actual DC characters are in it. It was supposed to be funny.

[Surfer]

Hercules huh! I thought it looked like a rendition of Superman, but I can see where Marvel is obviously poking fun at Superman by having the baby collide with the space craft. Now that is pretty funny stuff.

Surfer

[Squidboy]

I just saw the trailer and thought it was pretty amazing. Obviously it was just a five minute representation of the movie and it's supposed to draw the viewers in with shiny toys and big explosions, but if Branagh put half as much attention to detail to the film as he did to the costumes or the rendition of Asgard, then we should be in for one hell of a movie. Plus Agent Caulson in the movie is the best possible way to bridge this character to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the reference to Stark at the end had me laughing.

[TheCorpulent1]

Ha, yeah, I don't know why people are so upset about Coulson/SHIELD being in it. I rather like Coulson. I kind of want him to be introduced in the comics now. :)

[Squidboy]

Give it time, and I'm sure he'll get the star treatment. And I think having SHIELD here makes the most sense, considering their involvement in Iron Man, and the fact that they're trying to rally up the troops to link all these movies together. I'll put my foot down about it if Coulson's grandpa shows up in Captain America, but he's acting as a good ambassador for the Avengers characters.

[TheCorpulent1]

I like that they created a new character for the movies rather than importing an established one from the comics. Coulson is free to represent the SHIELD of the movies without any comparisons to how he "should" be because of his comic appearances, unlike the Contessa or Dum-Dum or Clay Quartermain. If they ever make a SHIELD movie, I'd hope they bring those characters in, but for the other heroes' movies, a fresh character who'll be known specifically for this works better. :up:

[misjuevos]

i just like how coulson evolved in just iron man 1. when you first meet him you think he is just some dorky guy trying to setup a meeting with stark. then you see him use some cool gadget and turn from the dorky guy to the guy in charge and unafraid, a real agent of shield. that was just in iron man 1, cant wait to see how he develops in the thor and avengers.

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, I never really saw him as anything other than just some dude. At first he seemed to be some kind of pencil-pusher, but then you realize he's with SHIELD and you're like, "Oh, so he's a SHIELD pencil-pusher," and then he whips out a gun and tries to protect Pepper and you're like, "Oh, so he's an actual SHIELD agent," but he still remains pretty normal. I like that they're not going overboard with the tech and stuff.

SHIELD is still, for all intents and purposes, just another alphabet intelligence agency that happens to be concerned with superheroes in the movies. That's a nice, grounded approach that works well for the film universe they've established so far. Hopefully, we might start seeing them adapt sci fi tech and other stuff as they go along--sort of like Stargate SG-1, which started off with the teams using normal weapons and slowly built their arsenal over the seasons until, by the end, they had Earth-built starships that could stand toe-to-toe with alien ships.

[scifiwolf]

If Coulson continues to grow in popularity among fans, do you all think he will be adapted into the comics?

[TheCorpulent1]

Possibly. He appeared in an online comic Marvel put out, but that was set in the movie universe. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing Coulson make the jump over to the main comics, though. I like him. It was the taser comment in IM 2 that won me over. :D

[RockSP]

If they ever make a SHIELD movie

Part of Sam Jackson's deal was a franchiise of his own, so I assume that means SHIELD. Nick Fury by himself wouldn't be too interesting.

Feige seemed to state that was a big sign on thing for everyone involved...that there'd be solo films.

[TheCorpulent1]

They should get Matt Damon to put on like 30 lbs. and cast him as Dum-Dum. :D

[roach]

I thought they already cast Dum Dum

[TheCorpulent1]

When? :huh:

Oh, right, the dude from Minority Report. Didn't know he'd been cast as Dum-Dum. I like it, assuming he can rock a cartoonishly thick Boston accent. I always think of Dum-Dum talking like the guys from Car Talk. :D

[Whiskey Tango]

I know him as the guy from Walking Tall. :D

I know very little about Dugan, I think I've read maybe 2 or 3 comics with him in them. Had no idea he was from Boston. McDonough's a pretty good actor though.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's okay, I thought he was Irish for the longest time. Then I thought about it some more and I was like, "But why would he be in the American military...?" Then I read a profile and it said he was Bostonian, which made the way people write him make a lot more sense to me.

[Whiskey Tango]

I wondah if he watches Red Sahx games in the helicahhiah?

Marvel has added X-23 and Firestar into the comics after the characters began to grow in popularity from their respective tv shows, so I wouldn't see why he wouldn't be brought in. Given the fact that Marvel also changes things up to line up with the movie continuity as well (ie making Stryker and Deathstrike allies in the comics, following X2, or introducing a throwaway character called Mutant 143 for two issues during Austen's run) I could see Agent Coulson appearing not too far down the line.

Maybe once Maria Hill, Victoria Hand, and SWORD agent Brand get enough recognition that Marvel feels they could add Coulson as the newest agent to throw into the mix to call the shots.

[Squidboy]

Whenever Steve Rogers goes back to being Cap and Nick Fury takes over as head of SHIELD again, they should introduce Coulson as his personal go-fer. "Coulson! It's 8:43 and I still feel like I just woke up. Where's. My. COFFEE?!" :hehe:

That'll probably happen just in time for the Cap movie, considering Marvel needs to sell books with Steve in his costume to cash in. I'm waiting for a Agent Coulson One-Shot to follow.

[Aesop Rocks]

Phil.

[Squidboy]

"Agent Coulson, Agent of SHIELD"

Copyright that!

[roach]

already done

[Squidboy]

It did take Chloe Sullivan nearly a decade to make it from Smallville to the actual comics, so we might do best not to hold our breath to see Coulson integrated into the comics, but I sincerely doubt Marvel will include him in four movies (assuming he'll be in Avengers) in four years and NOT take that as a sign that the character deserves a comicbook counterpart.

[TheCorpulent1]

He's not without precedent, at least. Firestar was imported from the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon into the comics way back in the '80s.

[misjuevos]

what about the wondertwins? i know i know it's dc

[TheCorpulent1]

They were added into Young Justice at one point and I think they were still around in Teen Titans a few years back.

[roach]

i was gonna mention Wendy,Marvin and Wonderdog but i found out they are the caretakers of the Titans Tower

[TheCorpulent1]

Marvin also got eaten by the Wonderdog. DC tends to axe its younger characters pretty brutally lately.

[roach]

Wtf????????

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, most people seemed to think it was in poor taste. Probably because it really, really was. But Teen Titans has sucked in general for about 4 or 5 years now.

sheesh
