Age of Ultron Ultron! We Would Have Words With Thee! Official Thor/Chris Hemworth Thread

I thought about it, I just literally have no idea what it could mean. I doubt they get it on tbh.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

There is a scene in the first trailer where thor drops his hammer, location of hammer mystery solved

i doubt they get it on too, but the shot of her disrobing is like cliche tv/movie seduction style, so between that and him being topless in what seems to be the same water... its suspicious lol

He could be summoning lightning like he does with Mjolnir except this time he uses his body as the conductor.

The way he's moving slghtly backwards could be from the impact of "self summoning" a.k.a when his own lightning hits him.

Yeah, I like how he seems to struggle a bit physically with the lightning, which makes it look all that more powerful.

I'm also mildly surprised that we haven't seen the scene that was reported from Comic Con yet, where he supposedly smashes a tank. Not that I'm not glad to not be shown too much, I just thought that all of that CC footage would make it out in the first two trailers.

Like I said sticking to my guns of Thor shooting lightning until proven otherwise.

Thor's powers being stripped makes no sense since he hasn't shown any electrical powers w/o Mjolnir.

Wait wait wait...you do realize your second sentence contradicts your first right?

we saw that is some set pics and videos...Thor lands on top of a tank in the snowy scene and smashes it

 

[mc7791]

it looks like to me that Thor is generating the lightning himself and then directing it. Yes he does look stressed at first but I like how he is doing it without Mjolnir.

That explains why I haven't seen it. I'm not going to spoil myself too much for this movie so only real trailers for me. Not even tv spots.

Yeah, this is what I think. I was trying to say something like this earlier, but couldn't figure out how to explain it.

No it doesn't not all, how can you take away something that hasn't been shown?

However it can easily be the first time he shows that ability, it's a simple concept really.

 

[itchyscratch]

so no one else got the impression that something is gonna go down between Thor and that chick? Shes disrobing and he's at least shirtless in his scene in what looks to be the same place

I'm curious about Thor's Angry Swim in the cave pool. Either it's a pool with restorative powers or just some pond inhabited by random disrobing wenches which Thor thought he'd better check out. Either way his dip in the pond has made him a tad grumpy (and nekkid) and both of those are always a very good thing.

Well he was shown to have "The Power of Thor" in the first move...which is what Odin took away.... Could that be what we are seeing? Ultron discovers enough "Asgardian Science" to strip him of his power?

Odin taking Thor's power didn't have any lightning effects. He just took Mjolnir and removed his armor. Thor using lightning seems like the much less reaching assumption to me.

 

[ctsketch]

Hmmm yeah. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I rather it be Thor channeling lighting as it will make him more BA as opposed to someone messing with him

I don't think it works like that. It seems
As if the surge is coming through him. That lightning is coming fr
Within perhaps. Maybe it's one of the few times thor summons lightning without mjlonir and as I and others have said in another thread, it's probably
Not comfortable experience. Whether it's coming from him or being pulled from him it seems to show that that power is in him,
Not hammer

But.....that's exactly what I was saying. How are you disagreeing with me when we're saying the same thing.

 

[ctsketch]

Because you were confusing in your statments, same reason I was confused

But that was an entirely different post.

First of all...Sorry for the typos on that previous post. It's a pain typing from my phone.

Secondly, well you mentioned Thor getting hit by his lightning. Making it sound like the lightning was summoned to him, "hitting him".

I don't think it hit him, or that he summoned it from elsewhere. I think it came from him. "hitting him" threw me off, that's all. Miss understanding.

Oh okay I just thought that because of the way Thorbis stumbling backwards. But whether he summons the lightning from the sky or from within it will be of his own power not Mjolnir's. t:

I've waited for this moment since the first film, I really hope this is indeed what's happening.

 

[BigThor]

Love your avvy man

I know I'm late, but thanks although I'm about to change it lol.

 

[Eggyman]

The lightning going through him... Maybe it's his powers shown as lighting being sucked from him. Doesn't look like he has any say in it.

 

[seahammer]

I don't want to get over science-y (for two reasons: 1., it's not my wheelhouse and I might make mistakes, and 2., I'm sure the filmmakers didn't, and I know it's silly to overthink 2 seconds of footage this much!!!), but my interpretation of what's happening in that scene requires a basic understanding of how lightning works in the real world (again, the rules might not play like this in a sic-fi movie...)

Lightning is a connection between positive charges in the earth and negative charges in the storm clouds.

Lightning comes down from the clouds and joins with "positive streamers," which is like a connection coming up from the earth (ground, tree, whatever) to form the lightning bolt that we see:
[YT]watch?v=RLWIBrweSU8[/YT]

I think that Mjolnir usually serves as a conduit for the connection. Maybe it's filled with negatively charged particles or whatever. The way I interpret that scene in the trailer is that Thor is pulling the electricity up through the ground (sort of like a positive streamer, as seen in that video i posted above) rather than whatever he usually does through Mjolnir, hence the discomfort and muscle tension. Of course, this whole process is comic book-ized and slowed down so it looks awesome (because in real life, it only takes a fraction of a second). Whether Thor acts as the positive node or the negative node doesn't really matter (it would seem that he does things in reverse, though), I'm arguing that he's in control of the process, even if it doesn't look like a fun process, and can direct the lightning (pretty accurately, as we saw in Avengers 1).


TLDR version: I don't think anyone is pulling Thor's powers from him, I just think we are seeing the effects of one end of the lightning surging through Thor, hence the discomfort (and why he likely uses Mjolnir to do this most of the time).

 

[Ghostcrow13]

I get what BigThor is saying about it would be very anti-climatic to reveal Thor has the power within him and not Mjolnir by having his powers stripped.

Showing he has that ability by having Ultron or a bunch of drones think they have Thor defeated without Mjolnir only for him to conjur lightning and shoot it at them is an infinitely cooler moment.

And agree with seahammer, his discomfort could simply be it is hard to control hence why he uses Mjolnir most the time.

However I still lean towards Ultron/Drone shooting him with electricity only for him to absorb it and send it back stronger. Of course it could be the very end of the movie when he has returned to Asgard as well. Just so many possibilities.

How about turning this 180 degrees: back in The Avengers Thor's attack on Cap's shield was reflected. Now, that we are supposedly in Wakanda and Ultron might just got his vibranium body and reflected Thor's attack back to him.
