The Mighty Thor Movie Impressions

May 3, 2010

My Iron Man 2 hysteria has come and gone, largely due to the fact that it failed to meet my admittedly elevated expectations. I now turn my attention to another one of my favorite heroes and his movie - The Mighty Thor!

As all of you must know by now, the mini clip at the end of the Iron Man 2 credits *SPOILER ALERT* were about Thor’s hammer and his arrival on Earth. All it showed was the Mjolnir, firmly planted into the ground. This clearly paves the way for Kenneth Branagh’s Mighty Thor’s continuity into the inevitable Avengers movie.

What can we infer from this? We know that Thor will be using the 616 Mjolnir, which is the only REAL way it should be done. Can you imagine the outrage of the fans if they used the Ultimate Mjolnir? I mean, even the Ultimate Universe comic continuity eventually gave Thor the old blunt hammer back just to shut the fanboys up.

From what I remember of the hammer, it had a particularly long handle; a handle that would look a bit too long when directly compared to the comic book Mjolnir, but not long enough to be considered a reimagination of the source material. If I remember correctly, it was Loki who tried to sabotage the creation of Mjolnir by making the handle too short. Dunno exactly what happened there. *Edit: Evidence found.

It also has these tech-looking grooves along the body. It’s a bit too advanced for my taste. I want the Mjolnir to look like what it was designed to be - a simple, gritty looking hammer.

Also last week, the first image of Chris Hemsworth as Thor was released.

The name “Chris Hemsworth” might be very obscure to you now, sure. But after Thor, after The Avengers, his name is going to be as common to you as “Hugh Jackman.”

As we can see from the first pic, Chris is in the Olivier Coipel-designed Thor costume, which I lovingly refer to as the “modern Thor.” I know the purists are having a bitch fit over this. They want the classic Thor costume, which is understandable because that’s how Thor will be remembered throughout history. I, however, disagree. I think the costume upgrade gave him bad-ass points.

I approve of the red cape and the kick ass chain-mail. I always wondered why Thor went sleeveless when Nordic communites that originated Norse Mythology were located in extremely cold environments. I also like that the boots went all black, and that Coipel kept the knobs on his chest, but gave them a functional use. I love how he kept the helmet, too. All he really lacked was the beard.

Oh, and lo and behold, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor does INDEED have a beard! They’ve got the look down, at least. It gets my vote.

Another image that was released was the Destroyer armor. According to the Marvelverse, the Destroyer armor was created by Odin, and is said to be indestructible. It makes for a great final enemy, wouldn’t you say?

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8161/destroyerx.jpg

The image is from LatinoReview.com. If this is true, then we will get the first villain whose look actually stayed true to the comic book source material. I say, if they pull this off, it’ll rock our collective socks off even harder than The Dark Knight or Iron Man did.

Share and Enjoy:

“It also has these tech-looking grooves along the body…”

The embelishments are probably a homage to
Jack Kirby. That man loved his lines and grooves.

I want to watch you do not have a mature concept, I will talk about the classification of designer watches, Girard Perregaux watches replica now divided into three categories, mechanical form, feature is winding drive, with mechanical components (escapement) to replica Paris Hilton time ; One is quartz (fake Michele1 that is), is characterized by a battery-driven electric effect of quartz to time. Another is Seiko’s fake Philip Stein, his mechanical clockwork drive fake Rolex Yachtmaster, but with the quartz to time, be a compromise of a pattern (in my eyes, Spring Drive, or quartz). Distinguish between the type of good form after we take a look at your status bar: male,cheap pandora charms, college graduate, like silver dial and metal strap of the table. In fact, many things we have lost in the process, have forgotten the original purpose, to buy the table as well. You should first make sure you buy fake Chronoswiss watches purpose. I believe you have the phone man, and now the phone will have time to function, replica Hublot and both the time synchronization with the server,tattoo machines, the equivalent of once a day on Jaeger Lecoultre replica, accuracy has been impeccable, and even 100 years, not one second too bad. So I believe the ROLEX most important utility you buy the table not to tell the time, it is estimated that you buy this table replica Festina should be decorated mainly to see when the secondary. Because you bought the table mainly for BREITLING decoration, so, you should understand that other people D&G watches fake the situation recognition. Now mobile phone popularity does not matter that most people do not wear Omega watches replica or does fake Richard mille not wear replica Chaumet,replica TechnoMarine, so many Casio fake recognition degree is relatively low, for these people, even wearing replica Triumph that they will not find more cattle, no effect buy a iphone is good, so you wear replica Rolex DateJust on these people is invalid. Some people wear Rolex Sea Dweller fake and understand the table, you wear replica Carl F Bucherer watches for such people to be more cautious, because the table will show you a subtle character, orientation and values, so wear when it is necessary to know the connotation of the TISSOT brand. For example, fake Alain Silberstein watches, this brand is trendy, stylish, but also a superficial, Qingtiao temperament, girls wearing nothing to do, men have to wear if it becomes some “mother” of the. If you are IWC involved in model boyfriend, entertainment, Breguet watches cosmetics, fashion industry, Dai Dai is with, if you are organs, state-owned enterprises, the European enterprises, wear is more taboo in this table, the table should be the brand, and the solemn incompatible with the atmosphere. Nor do I PATEK PHILIPPE suggest you buy a table Casio, Casio’s philosophy is “Life’s first fake Spazio24 should be Casio’s”, with the people of this table gives a simple, youthful feeling but there will be TUDOR no deep She Shi, immature sense of gas very strong students. If the school uses, it is appropriate feeling very first love. But 20-year-old boys A LANGE AND SOHNE have been full of vitality and student gas, the style is needed is calm and mature disposition,rosetta stone language, Casio’s too juvenile, you may have noticed how many of the people who work are Daikaxiou? I think the Seiko I think it is a little spectrum, individual temperament that Seiko vibrant, positive, may be more suitable.
