Sweet baby Jesus, yes!
Stan Lee and Felicia Day's YouTube channels will host themed days during the Aug. 4-10 event, which will also debut a new "Thor: The Dark World" trailer. |

For a ''marketing failure'', it seems there's a lot of talk about this movie. ![]() |

There's no 'marketing failure'. Disney/Marvel has found a formula for marketing their stuff from Avengers to IM3. After the 2nd trailer hits, Marketing will ramp up and from mid-september onwards, we're going to be swamped with pics, tv spots, magazine articles etc.

Isn't Tom's performance a trailer in itself? Fell so much in love with the Marvel gang after watching the comic con panels.

Can I ask those of you who know the comics why they would be introducing Tyr now? They're retconning the movie universe by bringing him in after Odin's firstborn comment to Thor in the first movie, so Tyr must have a specific purpose, but with all the conflict and backstory etc between Loki and Thor I'm just wondering why they'd bother to bring in an older brother now?

Holy crap. I thought I could help you Itchyscratch since I am from Sweden. I am supposed to know stuff about norse mythology so I go to Swe wiki site trying to see
if there is something that I can remember for you. Then i see some serious stuff. I managed to find it in English aswell. North Germanic Tyr An early depiction of Tyr is found on the IK 190 bracteate found near Trollhättan, Sweden. The figure is shown with long hair, holding a sceptre in his left hand, and with a wolf biting his right.[7] Tyr sacrifices his arm to Fenrir in a 1911 illustration by John Bauer. According to the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, at one stage the gods decided to shackle the Fenris wolf (Fenrir), but the beast broke every chain they put upon him. Eventually they had the dwarves make them a magical ribbon called Gleipnir. It appeared to be only a silken ribbon but was made of six wondrous ingredients: the sound of a cat's footfall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, bear's sinews (meaning nerves, sensibility), fish's breath and bird's spittle. The creation of Gleipnir is said to be the reason why none of the above exist.[8] Fenrir sensed the gods' deceit and refused to be bound with it unless one of them put his hand in the wolf's mouth. Tyr, known for his great wisdom and courage, agreed, and the other gods bound the wolf. After Fenrir had been bound by the gods, he struggled to try to break the rope. Fenrir could not break the ribbon and enraged, bit Tyr's right hand off. When the gods saw that Fenrir was bound they all rejoiced, except Tyr. Fenrir will remain bound until the day of Ragnarök. As a result of this deed, Tyr is called the "Leavings of the Wolf"; which is to be understood as a poetic kenning for glory. After a heartbreaking battle (of Ragnarök) Fenrir swallowed Odin the All-father, whole. Tyr appears in the Eddic Poem Hymiskviða. According to the Prose version of Ragnarok, Tyr is destined to kill and be killed by Garm, the guard dog of Hel. However, in the two poetic versions of Ragnarok, he goes unmentioned; unless one believes that he is the "Mighty One". In Lokasenna, Tyr is taunted with cuckoldry by Loki, maybe another hint that he had a consort or wife at one time. In the Hymskvidha, Tyr's father is named as the etin Hymir – the term "Hymir's kin" was used a kenning for etinkind – while his mother goes unnamed, but is otherwise described in terms that befit a goddess. This myth also pairs Tyr with Thor, and draws a comparison between their strength via the lifting of Hymir's cauldron. Thor proves the stronger, but other than Thor's own son, Magni, Tyr is the only deity whose strength is ever questioned in comparison to the Thunderer's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyr Fenrir the wolf is Loki´s creation/son, just saying ![]() http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenrir Last edited by Mightyally; 07-24-2013 at 07:10 PM. |

He's said sometimes to be the second strongest of the Norse gods and he's the one who kills the Fenrir. |

does that mean Thor is the third strongest god since one of his sons is stronger than him.
