Well, both characters are owned by Disney now, so...

actually he was making a joke about something that has existed for years.

See, that just extends my childhood belief stemming from the first Beta Ray Bill cover I saw that Thor is just way too goofy for a hero/mythology that takes itself seriously.

It takes more than the occasional goofy creative decision to ruin a comics credibility. Otherwise...

I read about that during the last draft and lets just say I'm blocking it out of my mind.

Behind the scenes vid, showing some of the sets, and glimpses of Idris Elba as Heimdall and Kurt Hopkins as Odin:

So...Donald Blake and Thor look exactly the same? I mean, I get the practicality of having them played by the same guy, but I expected Blake to at least have shorter hair and no beard so there's a distinction between them, unless it's like one of those things were Blake looks different to everyone else, as shown by his reflection showing a different actor.
Oh, and about the Helmet Wings:

Is it wrong that I thought Hemsworth looked a little like Heath Ledger in the interviews, and I got to thinking if he could pull off The Joker?

[Stu]

So you're saying all Australians look the same to you? Racist.

[Pun]

I hate you, Stu!

Now go get to making some more stick figure animation!

Sure. I can even use the opportunity to give someone their long-awaited appearance:

[Deleted]

AWESOME!!!

And Stu, are you willing to do some for the Brawls as they get closer to the end?

[Pun]

Wait. I don't get the OpTard reference. Is that supposed to be him that Punisher thinks is Zombie Heath Ledger?

[Stu]

No, he was complaining that he never gets to be in any of these, so I snuck in a blink and you'll miss it cameo for him here. Everything else is just you killing Australians.

[Pun]

WOO HOO!

[OpTard]

so, apparently they've decided to make "space thor"



with designs like this, they're gonna have to have a REALLY good story for this movie to not be cheesy as shit

[Deleted]

Ouch.

[salmonjunkie]

I hope they get Patrick Ewing or Amy Winehouse to play Beta Ray Bill in the sequel.

[Deleted]

That's a full-fledged EXALT.

Odin and Loki's armour look's consistent with Thor's, which nobody really had a big problem with before (just maybe some concerns about how fake it looked, which may be an issue here), and considering Odin has looked like this and this before, the movie version looks a bit more like a middle ground between Lord of the Rings type fancy armour and something a bit more advanced looking. I can buy primitive viking folk seeing these guys and worshipping them as gods.

[ALL CAPS]

1) This is a publicity shot. The lighting in the movie will be a different story, I'm sure.

2) Anthony Hopkins gay-ass smile isn't helping things.

[Deleted]

Yeah, he looks like he just pushed out a day-old fart.

[Stu]

No doubt brought on by frost giant's liver with some favva beans and a nice cianti.

[OpTard]

i was weary at first, but i have to admit i'm starting to come around. i still would've preferred that they went with more of a norse influence than flash gordon, but i gotta say, this does look pretty cool.



and for all you people who care SO much, notice loki and odin have their helmets on (thor is likely holding his in a shot like this)

[The Canadian Content]

Loki's helmet is pretty iconic. I'm glad to see they were able to pull it off.

I'm guessing things won't be so shiny in the end product, which would be good. The designs are cool, but Asgard should really look more like it's made of stone and gold than steel and golden foil.

Doesn't it only look like golden foild because you can't make out the detail in the patterns at that distance, so it just looks like crinkles? Nice touch with

s perched on the throne.
