You know, for a trickster, Loki sure is chronically pissed off every time he's in a movie.

He's probably just eyeing the bloody great hammer that Thor's carrying nervously...

But Loki's got those poison arrows he could sling at Thor before he ever got close enough to do any damage. Very Happy

The better news is that my sister-in-law Misato swears that Branagh is the ONLY bright side to the world and can do no wrong...so fear not, all is well.

With Thor having a big presentation at Comic-Con, unsurprisingly the footage shown there has shown up online, nearly six minutes worth of promo-reel. Word is that the whole show went down very well with the audience and the promo footage certainly gives a bit of an idea how Branagh's done with the piece.

Still got no real idea whether this'll end up being successful, but, from the look of what's here, doesn't seem like they've dropped the ball entirely...

I know that's what it looked like in the comics, but.... that hammer sucks. Is this guy a carpenter or a war god?

This is more suited to a god.

What, with all that nice gold ornamentation? What is this, Queer Eye For The Straight God?

Naah, just a straightforward "this is going to hurt like hell" hammer for the whole war god look. Nothing fancy, nothing ornate, just pain in one straightforward and simple package...

Dunno... I kinda like the ornate hammer, not that I have any gay tendencies or anything like that (tho I am Hell on wheels with a sewing machine... ). And if you get tired of bashing in skulls you have three spikes to bludgeon you enemies with. The one they're using for the movie looks like the short sledge they use for knocking through drywall...

And why the leather strap? Are they pummeling people or playing racquetball? I thought the thing weighs a ton; is a leather strap really going to hold the thing?
Sorry to nit-pick, but I sat through 7 minutes of credits at the end of Iron Man 2 expecting some revalation and all you get to see is a one-second shot of a hammer that they sell in the tool isle at the Home Depot.

Granted, I knew nothing of the comic origins of Thor and only know the little I do now due to the influence of this comic geek from England...but that trailer was NOTHING like I imagined. As for the hammer, I look at it like Batman's tights and Superman's cape...they are what they are because the comic came first and no matter how dork, some images must be honored or risk losing something of where they came from

Regardless, I am suddenly way more interested in this movie

Fair points. But look at Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Where were Batman's tights in those films? Gone, because tights are stupid. They kept Superman's tights for Superman Returns and that fish flopped hard. Laughing

Yes, but in the comic, Batman's costume has changed several times throughout the years. Other than the brief Man of Energy story arc, the only real change in Superman's costume has been the size and shape of his S-shield.

Superman

And I know almost nil about Thor (I'm a DC fan). Who's the big robot in the end of the trailer?

That would be the Destroyer, a mystically animated suit of armour originally forged by Odin and directed by various different characters over the years for both nefarious and heroic purposes.
