Comic Con Trailer Description

[misjuevos]

movies are subjective, you like what you like.

that part with the nine realms diagram is in the book when thor is telling jane about where he comes from. he opens a book about the nine realms. he is probably explaining it to here much like how loki explains it to doom in the cabal. im hoping they show the realms during the explanation

 

[The Sage]

This looks great!

Asgard looks amazing and I kept looking at the shot where the camera pans around. Best part of the footage is Odin's speech casting Thor out.

I can't wait for this movie.

 

[ElMariachi]

oh here is another thing that is bothering me. Why are people complaining about the armor and the look of the movie. You do know this movie doesn't take place in the 11th century right!? Why then would Asgardians, who are more advanced then Earth, be wearing Lord of the Rings-esque armor? Personally, I think it's silly to expect a society to be wearing fashions that are a thousand years old. It would be like expecting humans to dress like they did in Braveheart or something.

The finished trailer will be on the IM2 DVD

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I still don't know what to think about the footage. I mean Hemsworth is sexy as all get out but it just didn't excite me.

I think someone involved in the production early on said something to the effect of "this is our Lord of the Rings" and people just kind of ran with it, building their expectations up in that direction when, really, it was more of an off-the-cuff comment. Plus, a lot of the recent comics depict the Asgardians in very old world, viking-ish clothing. Branagh obviously favored a version built around earlier comic designs--Kirby and Simonson's in particular.

 

[Vartha]

I see what you're saying. Some outdoor shots of Asgard would definitely be nice. It'd all be CGI, though, and we know they've only got a couple months of post done with several more to go, so maybe they just didn't have a lot of that ready to show. Just remember, everything about the footage has to be viewed in the context of the movie still having a long way to go to completion.


That piece of paper that Thor someone is holding at one point looks like it could be a map of the nine realms. Maybe it's a diagram Foster or Skarsgard's character came up with from their research...


I really didn't see much Avengers setup at all. What are you talking about specifically?

Yeah the only real thing I can see going to an Avengers movie is the Infinity Gauntlet which didn't appear in the Trailer, and the Destroyer which we're not COMPLETELY sure what happens after it appears.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i see nothing wrong with how the film looks.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Now I understand what I didn't care for. I hate seeing all of this crossover stuff shoved in my face at the expense of the individual film. It was one of the things that ruined Iron Man 2. Also it would have been neat to see more Mr. Hemsworth's acting.

 

[wobbly]

Where's the mythology? It looks much more futuristic than mythological.

Comic book Thor (on which this movie is based) is vastly different than the mythological Thor typically depicted in Viking legends.

His original costume for starters...No Viking ever wore anything like that, and most of Kirby's designs, from Odin's armor to Asgard itself (you can find examples easily enough via google) were again nothing like anything the Vikings ever dreamt up.

Now I'll grant you the 'new' Asgard recently destroyed in the comic had an old style look to it, but that wasn't how it was originally depicted at all. The original Asgard did, as you say, look much more futuristic than mythological.

Destroyer is actually a Thor villain...i dont see how it leads to Avengers

 

[NorsePrincess]

Looked awesome, I can't wait.

 

[Webhead2006]

i dont really see the 3 scenes that were in im2 and this break in/intergation/ and the destroyer scene being to much. This is a shared universe. We known marvel wants that. So of course stories and characters are going to be mixing up with each other. Its no different then the comics.

Seriously, what kind of overbearing crossover stuff are people talking about here? SHIELD's presence?

 

[misjuevos]

i like the crossover stuff it make the movie seem bigger, like it is an actual universe. you never know who will show up.there is always the thought of the hulk on the loose in the back of your minds.

 

[roach]

Seriously, what kind of overbearing crossover stuff are people talking about here? SHIELD's presence?

that plus the scenes of Avengers fighting Kang
scenes of the whole team sitting around the table
Wasp oggling Thor
Hank slapping her around
...its all there

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Seriously, you don't agree with my opinion and thats fine.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I never even said anything about your opinion. I literally don't see any crossover stuff being shoved in my face when I watch it, so I was asking an honest question. If it's just SHIELD/Coulson, that doesn't bother me because I'm used to the comics, where SHIELD is pretty ubiquitous. Plus it makes sense in the context of the films' shared universe for SHIELD to be pretty interested when a hammer drops out of the sky and becomes magically immovable.

 

[roach]

Seriously, you don't agree with my opinion and thats fine.

its not about agreeing...its understanding.
I understand your complaints about IM2...i dont agree but I can see your point
There was nothing in the trailer that was Avenger-esk

 

[misjuevos]

so what do you think the after credit moment will be? so far we had nick fury in iron man 1 then stark in incredible hulk then mjolnir in iron man 2. so what might the thor extra be?

which matched up with the end credits scene in IM2

Actually I liked IM2 better than IM.

and it wasn't because of Mjolnir at the end

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm sure it'll be Captain America-related. Can't think of what it'd be, though.

Iron Man was an excellent standalone movie except for after the credits... which was enough of a setup for The Avengers IMO. It seems like the whole Avengers setup is just overdone... and that's just from a trailer. What moreso in the actual movie? Just too much.

If a movie is not good enough to stand on it's own two legs... then it's not a good movie IMO. I probably won't be watching Thor in theaters.

I really don't think it has been overdone at all. The Avengers talk really hasn't affected the storylines of any character at this point yet. Thor will be more about his power struggle with Loki more then the Avengers. However, the Avengers and him being on earth are apart of the Thor character---this storyline has to play a role here. It would be like complaining about a Robin Hood movie where steals from the rich and gives to the poor.

And I really don't know you, but I am calling bull that you aren't seeing this in theaters. What are you going to see instead----Marmaduke 2 or something?
