Mh, I have to say I really liked Josh Dallas as Fandral. Not sure what to think of the new guy... Right now, I still prefer Dallas, cause he was perfect to me.
Interesting speculation about Surtur...I hope he is in the background and saved for Thor 3 for a full Asgardian siege. As for Surturs age:
<scans deleted>
So Thor mentions he is the oldest of all that live. I hope we have a Twillight of the Gods build up in this movie and then the full Ragnarok in Thor 3.. t:
all this whine and no cheese? for shame
Tyr being Odin's brother (Thor's uncle) or nephew (Thor's cousin) would be fine by me.
I could never accept that. I love the Mythology to much.

All I am saying is that they would have to come up with a bad place of an explanation for why in Thor 1 Thor is "First born" and then in Thor 2 this guy shows up. I just find it hard to accept that Odin would not know he has an older son, perhaps he was completely disowned, and so Odin no longer calling him his "first born" but I feel like that's really a bit of a stretch. Although Odin did seem rather choked up up when he delivers that line "My first born"... hm.

How about Tyr being the son of Frigga by another father who's not Odin? It wouldn't shock me that if given that origin that Odin would adopt him as his own. He did after all adopt Loki, the son of a bitter enemy.

Anywho, still feel like another troublesome brother for Thor is a bit overkill for the films at this point. JMO
Cheese! For Everybody!
Yeah Sif, Chuck was great, Grimm took it's spot where I'm at. You'd love the show I'm sure. In many ways it has the same type of humor and drama balance that Marvel films do.You should be able to find Chuck Eps. online. It's really good. I recommend checking it out.. Plus it has the (HOPEFULLY) future Carol Danvers/Ms. Marvel in Yvonne Strahovski as well.
I always interpreted Odins demeanor when calling Thor his firstborn and teary eyed as that he was disappointed in who Thor was as far as his arrogance and childish behavior.
I agree, they have to give the context for how he fits in with the rest of the Asgardians.
Now, it could be that he actually is younger and just has not aged well. (hard living and all that) But I admit that's a bit of a stretch, especially when you have great liberty in casting.
Your scenario about Odin completely disowning him is certainly possible, but I agree, it strikes me as a stretch. He and Frigga sincerely embraced their adopted son, born of frost giants, as their own. And while Loki will be punished in T:TDW, he's not going to be completely cast out, with no one to speak of him ever again, which is how Tyr's exile would have had to have been in order for him to have been absent in Thor1.
Not much in the Deleated scene either. Josh had one great thing going for him and that he looks spot on for Errol Flynn and that was who Fandral's modeled after.Yeah and Josh Dallas had all of what, two lines?
Never really got any idead of how he was playing fandral from so little screen time...
^ seems to much of like....a backyard film recreation lol
Can't believe the release of this film is over a year away.
