First Look at Loki and Odin

[grand-I-am]

Alot of guys here show female characteristics ..complaining and complaining ....people already made their verdict on the movie based on one measley photo LOL!

 

[Savage]

I am really digging these. I cannot wait to see what Asgard looks like.

 

[TheFuture]

I think it's a bad promo pic to be honest, it's like they just said "right guys, Anthony you stand in front and Tom and Chris, you stand either side of him." It looks like a pic that took zero effort, as if they just caught them coming off set and asked them to pose for a quick pic.

I mean compare the promo pics for TDK and even the Spider-Man franchise to this and you will see that this is a pretty pathetic effort by Marvel.

 

[Mercurius]

As Brian Braddock has said in other thread, Loki shold have his horned helmet on, and shouldn't have a cape.

His image as we see by the promo pic is without his most iconic attributes, even if we may consider the overall effect a nod to Kirby's style of metal costumes for the Asgardians.

He looks just like a regular character, without his distinctive traits.

It's a shame.

 

[Chewy]

He looks just like a regular character, without his distinctive traits.

Is that not the point? For him to look like a "regular" character, while orchestrating the downfall of Thor and Odin without being suspected?

In the first draft he dons his horned helmet for the film's final act after his treachery has been discovered. I suspect that's an attribute they kept in rewrites

 

[OhNo!]

Hey guys, new member here, been browsing for a while, thought I'd finally register and share my thoughts on this!

Anyway, I think the costumes look great, all 3 of them have a "Royal family" look going on, which I think is fantastic, as it clearly shows there's some relation between all of them. I can't wait to see the difference between how the "royal" characters look and the rest of the asgardians.

At first I didn't like the concept art for Thor's costume, and it worried me a little, but it's looking great now that we have a real picture of it! I guess the CGI didn't do it justice at all.

Loki's look is great, although I would have preferred a yellow cape instead, but it's such a silly detail, and it doesn't detract at all for me, so I don't really care.

But in my opinion Odin looks the best. I'm guessing his armor is a little brighter tho, and we don't get to see it cause the picture is a bit dark, but if it isn't, it's still great.

It looks like a great blend of leather and metal, and I don't understand the comments about it looking like plastic (specially with the higher resolution version of the picture someone posted), it looks very similar to the metal in Iron Man's armor to me (which as someone pointed out, looked a little bit like plastic in some promo shots).

It makes sense that they're going with this kind of look, as I can easily picture Thor next to Iron Man without it looking silly, and at the same time pays a little tribute to Kirby, which I think is great.

Anyway, my only complaint is that the picture really isn't the best. For it to be the "first" promo shot, it should have been put together a little better, but whatever, I'm just happy that we finally get to see something!

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

between this and the green lantern reveal, neither really impress me. both are decent costume designs but i'll reserve final judgement until i see them in better lighting

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The GL photo looks too much like that g-ddamn Phantom "Slam Evil" poster.

 

[BestGirl]

I was about to write a loooooong series of bad names concerning the costumes, but am now much more inclined to nod at Miss Dawes in agreement, simply.

She was exact, succint and thorough.

I sure as hell hope this is a case like TDK were the costume looks better on film than it does in photos, coz these kinda look like something you'd see on some cheap sci-fi TV show or an episode of the Power Rangers. Not to mention that they all look remarkably similar, how about some design and colour variation? I get they wanted the character to work aesthetically with IM but I seriously think they've taken things a step or two to far.

Exactly. I'm surprised so many people like them. When I first saw the picture I thought just about everyone on the hype would hate these costumes.

I'm still wondering, what the hell is holding that eye patch up??

Heh, I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. That's a good question.

I'm confused as to how people hate them so much, personally. They're ripped pretty much straight from the comics. Even the gold on Loki's costume reminds me of the crazy, interwoven patterns of his Simonson-era costume. People seem to have gotten way too hung up on the idea that the Asgardians would all be wearing leather and look like they spent most of their time wallowing in dirt or something...

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

^we hate them because they look like cheap K-Mart produced halloween costumes

just doesn't look natural

There's a lot of that going on over in the Green Lantern thread as well. It boggles the mind at times.

I can understand if people wanted the costumes to look a bit more rugged but with all the comic panels people have been posting, they look fairly accurate.

Also, I heard those same ******** comments about the suits looking like K-Mart halloween costumes for Iron Man as well. If you're going to knock the suits, don't exaggerate so much, it just makes you look a bit silly. I wore a couple of those suits back in the early '80s for Halloween when I was real young and the ones used for the movie do not look or seem like them at all.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, I can understand the GL complaints. The costume did not look particularly good to me on the cover of that magazine. Too flat and bland. It looks like a glowing green bodysuit rather than an actual design.

How natural did you expect otherdimensional gods' clothing to look? How natural do the comic costumes look?

And again, if you can find me something at K-Mart that looks like these costumes, I may just start dressing up for Halloween again.

 

[Vartha]

If Kmart sells something like these I buy them ALL

 

[Maximillian]

That's because it's an alien suit. It's not supposed to look like it's from this world. Looks more accurate to the comics than all the suits in Thor combined.

well I never said that about Iron Man, I enjoyed IM's suit, it worked with me 100%. I'm also enjoying the Green Lantern suit, actually LOVING it

but these suits

yea, not doing it for me.

I should have clarified more about the IM comment. I wasn't trying to say it was you who said that but that i've seen other posters say similar comments about IM's armor in regards to looking like costumes you can buy in a store.

I think we should all wait to see footage with them in motion. I remember how many people were complaining about the suit for Batman Begins in the pictures being released but a lot of those same people changed their opinions once they saw it in the actual film. With that being said, I do understand that it was shrouded in darkness a lot of the time which helped but I still think the suits(which I already like by the way)might look better in motion. Not to mention, I do agree that Hopkins silly smile sort of takes away from the pic though.

It doesn't look alien to me, either. It just looks like a green bodysuit with the GL symbol silkscreened onto the chest. I wouldn't even really count that as a "design," per se. But it'll probably look better in action. Either way, I don't really care. I doubt I'm watching Green Lantern anyway.

I...don't even know how to properly respond to a comment like this. If you can find me an image of Green Lantern that looks even remotely close to the movie suit, I'll back off.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

Alot of guys here show female characteristics

I've always claimed and never denied having female characteristics

I love to shop/spend money, hate sports/video games, cars, playing cards and for the most part, going to bars/drinking

oh yea, I'm known to have constant mood swings

that female enough for ya

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I have boobs. I win.

 

[Bug-Eyed Earl]

Helmets or not, THIS is the Kirby comic come to life that I've been dying to see...I think Odin looks the most impressive tbh. These characters will look way more impressive on film...

You got your Kirby designs. And though I have no problem with the designs, look at how many people say they look ridiculous.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

I have boobs. I win.

damn

I've only got pecs

 

[Doc Ock]

I like their costumes.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Don't be sad. Plenty of us do.
