The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[TheCorpulent1]

Yea maybe its just that Im extremely new to comics (sad to say....no one hurt me) But i guess I should read the original storyline for Thor before I start saying stuff ha.

Eh, everyone has their tastes. Ages of Thunder was about adapting stories from the myths into the comics through this idea of Ragnarok cycles, which was introduced a couple years before the mini itself. Basically, every time Ragnarok came and the gods "died," they were reborn in new but largely the same incarnations. So each incarnation was a little bit different and all of them are (in some cases, a lot) different from the standard Marvel versions. Thor's not usually as petulant as he is in AoT, Odin's not as much of a jerk, etc.

Thing about Thor in Ages of Thunder, I got the impression we were meant to think he was a *****e but it was actually the other Asgardians who came off as the fools. I think in this film if they really want to portray Thor as a reckless warrior then Ages of Thunder is not the way to go.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought everyone was a *****e in Ages of Thunder. It was basically the Mad Men of Thor comics.

I digged Thor's attitude, very moralistic, to me he was in the right.

Wow I really need to read more into these things before I say stuff haha . Glad I started a little discussion though.

Eh, he was just being a petulant child, in my opinion. Especially with the golden apples situation.

 

[RetroNaz]

I'm hoping we get *****e Thor at the start, who gets humbled and learns humility after he is depowered and banished to earth.

It will make his return as the god of thunder even more powerful and give his character some good growth.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, he's definitely gotta be at least a little bit of a jerk initially to justify Odin's punishment.

 

[TheFuture]

He was saving up for a rainy day IMO, he wasn't being reckless like the others and knew a bad day might come. Sure, he was being tough on the other Asgardians, but in my view he was trying to teach them a lesson in the perils of greed.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

But he was being greedy himself. They're family and they would die without the apples. It's like squirreling away money for your retirement while neglecting your mother's cancer, which could easily be cured with an expensive treatment. The fact that they were out of apples in the first place is a lesson enough; Thor was just being vindictive.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

Just checking out some Jaime Alexander pics. Why what were you thinking I was talking about?

I deserve a freakin ban for that terrible display don't I?

Yes, yes you do.

 

[NickNitro]

Whether or not the story is sufficient for the movie all I know is I better be seeing A LOT of this. t:

[RetroNaz]

question for everyone regarding suits:

would you rather see the "knight in shining armour" type look, or would you prefer more of a cloth look like the picture posted above me?

 

[NickNitro]

I really like the cloth look IMHO

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Reading this first draft, Hemsworth is literally going to be brilliant as Thor.

As much fun as Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America should be as individual films, comic book fans have been waiting years for the granddaddy of them all: The Avengers. Many have expressed qualms about the film's prospects, fearing the possibility that such a crowded field will take away from the story, and have labeled it unfilmable. If done right, however, it has the potential to blow us all away, giving us the some of the greatest superhero characters of all time on the same screen. We are still two years away from the project, good or bad, but this latest development makes it feel so much closer.

Taking to his Twitter account, Joe Quesada, editor in chief of Marvel comics, tweeted:

"Definition of 'goose bumps.' Pressing enter and watching a screenplay entitled "AVENGERS" come out of my printer."


Less than a minute later, he said, "It's official, I have the greatest job in the world." Zak Penn, whose previous comic book movie experience ranges from X2 and The Incredible Hulk to Elektra and The Fantastic Four, has been attached to write the project for some time now, but this is the first announcement that has suggested that the script has been completed.

Unless we are reading this entirely wrong, this is huge news for the future of the Marvel film franchise, which now has solid footing past next summer's releases. Sure, it is probably only a draft and will undoubtedly go through some, if not many, rewrites, but physical form now exists for a screen version of one of the greatest team-ups in comics history. Up until now, the only insight to the writing process has been Penn saying, "It's hard to make a good movie. We all have the best intentions, and it still might suck," but that was almost nine months ago. We can hope that he has gotten something resembling courage and confidence since then and will bring us the Avengers film we all want.

Best believe Imma post this in Caps Forum and Iron Man's Forum. The Whole of Hype Must know this

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

OH MY GOD. I mean, I always knew we'd have the Avengers coming up, it had been announced and all that but geez, it just hit me after reading about the script: The Avengers are on the way.

Would've killed for an Avengers movie with Pine (but Krasinski for Cap would be okay), RDJ, Jackson, Renner (Hawkeye), Scarlett, Norton, and Hemsworth but I won't need to commit homicide to possibly see that on the bigscreen.


And I would definitely prefer cloth. Everybodys been saying Hemsworth is in amazing shape, lets not cover that all up in armor, let the definition show through the cloth. I'm more worried about the helmet than the costume.

 

[Iceman]

Good news! There's a hell of a lot riding on the quality of that little piece of work!!
