Thor Teaser Trailer: How Was It?

[dolcry]

Wonder why people come down on a guy (even slightly) for preferring Hogun to have a mustache like the comic version. I mean, personally (and let the fires of forum-derision burn down on my head as well ) I'd have preferred it too. I mean, why the hell NOT? Not often being more comic-similar costs so little right?

Then again, maybe he tried and looked stupid? Anyone wanna photoshop a decent Hogunstache on?

Bren, you're probably right. I'm sure they did try to keep it more true to the comic, but maybe it looked stupid. Not a big deal to me, but it would have been more accurate I guess.

No helmet, the beard isn't long enough and Hogun doesn't have a mustache. This movie ****ing doomed FOREVERSSS!!!!!111!!!!1

I'm getting flashbacks to late 2007 when the IM1 trailer hit. "Wait, Rhodey's now an Air Force officer rather than a Marine chopper pilot? He and Tony have known each other for years instead of meeting in Afganistan? Stane now is PART of Tony's company rather than a business rival? DAMN YOU MARVEL!!!"

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Trailer didnt overly impress me, I dont know, something just looks 'off' about the whole movie to me, I cant quite put my finger on it yet. Will still be seeing it regardless of course, never been a Thor fan but I try to go and watch most if not all CB movies at the cinema.

Like I said before, where is this being said? So far, I've only heard IH say he was disappointed that Hogun doesn't look as epic as he should in the comics, and he never said the movie would fail or be bad because of it. Where are all these exaggerated complaints?

 

[kedrell]

I think most that have filled the last couple of pages have all been in jest, to be fair and intended to make fun of people who are too attached to every little detail being exactly as it is in the comics. Most of these kinds of complaints don't even really get posted here. IMDB or AICN are where you go to see them.

Huh. I was gonna guess that he might just not be able to grow a decent 'stache since Japanese men aren't really known for their full and manly facial hair, but he's most famous at this point for Mongol, wherein he had a full and very thick beard. Not sure if it was his or a fake beard, but it doesn't look bad. I kind of miss the mustache now, too.

I say they should've gone with the monocle.

Its the sci-fi channel look of the sets and costumes. Plus the movie seems extremely formulaic. Plus its set mostly on earth with a powerless Thor.

That, and something about Thor wearing a plaid collared shirt rubs me the wrong way.

I think most of the problems could be due to conservative budgeting, considering they dont know if this is a franchise that can make money yet. If the movie does well perhaps they can splurge more on the next one and make it look not so...cheap.

It's a story about an arrogant god banished from his kingdom so that he may learn humility on earth. Which, you know, is Thor's origin story.

Number 1 and 4 look quite decent hehehe. Can you do anything about the lollipop.. .err, 'mace'? t:

Can't say I've seen anything produced by the Sci-Fi Channel that comes close to what we've seen from Thor.
Seriously, the production values do not look cheap to me at all. Asgard, Odin's throne room, etc, looks fantastic to my eyes, so I honestly don't get that complaint.

On being set on Earth with him powerless, from what I've read the films splits into 3 main segments, all about the same length if the producer is to be believed:

1) Asgard, intro to the main Gods, Thor battles Frost Giants, pisses Odin off and gets banished.
2) Earth, powerless Thor meets and learns from humble Humans, regains worthiness in time to battle the Destroyer.
3) Return to Asgard, final showdown with Loki.

If that is correct Thor will only be powerless and out of costume for about a third of the movie. My math might be off but two thirds of the character in costume is more than any Spider-Man, Batman, Iron-Man, Hulk etc film has offered up so far.

I hate that weapon that the guy is holding,it reminds me of a damn icecream scooper and one of those spoons for punch.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I just can't see where the criticisms are coming from. It's a damn fine looking trailer. We're going to get a terrific Thor movie.

That assumes those thirds are all equal. I'm guessing #2 will probably be the bulk of the movie. That suits me fine, by the way, since Thor's redemption story is far, far more important than a few more effects shots of him hitting frost giants and/or Loki in the face. I'm just playing devil's advocate.

Sure it is. That doesn't mean I can't prefer a more Asgard-centric story or one with a non-powerless Thor. Thor running around New Mexico in t-shirts isn't my ideal backdrop for a movie, origin or not. Sue me.

Thats alright. Tomato, tomato. It seems like a stargate sg-1 set to me. Whereas Asgard in the comics is more middle-ages-ish.

I'm thinking #2 will be the majority of the movie judging from the trailer and other things.

Just saying i'd rather see Thor being himself than running around in a plaid t-shirt quipping with Kat Dennings.

This being an origin story, the second movie will probably have a lot more of him being "Thor" and doing what we've gotten accustomed to him doing. Much like every other superhero movie (Spiderman/Spiderman 2, Iron Man/Iron Man 2, Batman Begins/TDK, etc.).

That is probably right. I was just going by what Feige apparently said (2/3rds Asgard, 1/3rd Earth). Not sure where he said that though come to think of it.

 

[Chewy]

In the set interviews that went up the other day he said 60 Asgard/40 Earth split

Woot.

The current Asgard from after the Gods resurrection a few years ago is a lot more middle ages in style (or was until the Sentry tore it down). However Kirby's original Asgard designs were a mix of Sci Fi and myth in look long before Stargate came along (which did adopt a similar approach). The movie Asgard is a fine adaptation of Kirby's vision, imo.

Fair enough

I wouldnt say the sets look exactly 'sci-fi channel' from what I have seen, in fact all the effects looked spot on. I think I am just finding it hard to relate to the main character at this point, I just hope this isnt the case in the movie as this is only a 2 min trailer at the end of the day.

I couldn't have been happier with the teaser. It was just amazing.
