Thor News and Pics Thread: Impending Super Bowl Spot Edition - Part 4

[HighFivingMF]

Damn ... What did we miss?

They played the Thor trailer after Conan said "He looks like Thor... But watch the trailer. I think they got the wrong guy for the part." and they dubbed all of Chris's lines with a high-pitched feminine/stereotypical gay voice. He did the tazer scene, and the "YOU ARE AN OLD MAN AND A FOOL!" line. And when he threw the hammer at the beast he shouted "Take this B****! I'm THOOOOR!"

 

[protocida]

Sounds funny.

But I'd expect an "exclusive" clip from Return of the Incredible Hulk.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Hahaha. The most awesome thing to happen to me today was texting my friend to wish him a happy Thorsday and before I'd even gotten to the 'r' it auto completed itself. Victory!

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Btw, we've heard next to nothing from Rene Russo or anything about Frigga. I assume she's only in a few scenes as a sympathetic voice in Odin's ear, and perhaps a moral voice once Loki is in control.

Also, I forget, is Loki a half brother or merely adopted. I seem to remember a couple of different versions. He'd have to only be half frost giant in order to look Human (or Asgardian) right? Does that mean Frigga frigged a Frostie?

 

[protocida]

He's adopted. And it appears that most of Frigga's scenes got cut.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Then how come he doesn't look like a frost giant? Is he part Dark elf or something too?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

The few pieces that have mentioned Russo have also suggested that she find a new agent.

He is a frost giant runt

I think he's not blue because he grew up away from Jotunheim

 

[Chewy]

The actual, real world reason he's not blue is that none of the Frost Giants were originally. This is what Laufey first looked like:

I guess they felt making Loki blue later was too drastic a change.

In comics it hasn't really been explained.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

That's right. I think it was more believable in the comics because the Frost Giants sorta looked humanoid, just large with pointy ears and stuff. Since the film Frosties look so different, I wonder if they'll keep the same origin or change it a little.

 

[protocida]

In the comics, they say that Loki was simply born small and clear-skinned, and for this, he was hidden by Laufey in shame until Odin adopted him.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, I just read that on Wikipedia.

I wonder if they'll ever work Ragnarok into the films

 

[Spider-Fan]

The Thor films should build up to that.

 

[protocida]

It'd be a downer way to end the trilogy, but it would also be epic. Thor fighting Surtur, Ymir and a powered-up Loki.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I'm looking forward to seeing Colm Feore as 'Laufey'. He sounds great.

 

[Chewy]

The Frost Giants were blue in JMS's run like they are in the film. Except for Loki.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, they were blue but they looked more humanoid than the film ones. And Young Loki had blue lines on his head and pointy ears.

Colm Feore is great, i've been watching him in The Borgias all week and purely getting excited for Thor :P

 

[Chewy]

Yeah, I just read that on Wikipedia.

They need BALDER for that. And also because he's by far the most major character from the comics missing from this first film.

Second film, Loki teams up with either Enchantress/Executioner or the Dark Elves or something along those lines. Third film, Ragnarok.

There you go, awesome trilogy.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Which would also leave it open for Thor to reappear like the JMS run, which by that stage in development could also be around the time they could do a Civil War film :P

Lol recent tweet from Marvel

The Women of #Thor http://bit.ly/dKhM9H Natalie Portman & @OfficialKat talk about making the film! #ThorMonth

Women of Thor but no Russo. She got frigged again lol

 

[Chewy]

I really think the Malekith/Kurse arc is an awesome movie waiting to happen, too.

Picture this:
Loki strikes up a partnership with Malekith to take over the 9 realms. They lure Thor into a trap where he engages in battle with Algrim, Malekith's second in command. Thor and Algrim are sent hurdling into lava, and while Thor narrowly escapes Algrim is horrifically mutilated. Loki (replacing Beyonder) saves Algrim and transforms him into Kurse, significantly boosting all of his powers. Kurse is tricked into thinking the whole thing was Thor's fault and freaks out, setting about destroying Thor's life. Meanwhile Loki, Malekith and the Dark Elves set about overrunning Asgard and causing chaos.

Battles and tragedy ensue in Thor's life before Kurse realizes the whole thing was Malekith's fault. Kurse and Thor together journey to Asgard to stop Malekith and Loki. Kurse dies heroically in the process, but not before murdering the **** out of Malekith.

Of course, that whole story could also basically occur with Enchantress/Executioner taking the places of Malekith/Kurse (although Skurge wouldnt kill Amora), but Kurse is one of my favorite Thor villains. Especially when he's freaking out at Thor.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I wonder if there are other feats of 'strength' that Thor displays in the movie, aside from the ones that we know of.

 

[Michael Frost]

In the comics, they say that Loki was simply born small and clear-skinned, and for this, he was hidden by Laufey in shame until Odin adopted him.

I smell interacial relationship!
