^That pic alone has made me 50 times more excited for this movie.

totally agree!

This is so coming together, love the subtle details - the ravens, the Scandinavian-style knotwork, and they've even got wing-like crests on the helmets of the guardsmen. All in all if I was Odin I think my throneroom would look pretty much like that too - kind've bling minimalism with a touch of primtivistic art deco - nice.

Oh my lord! This is freaking awesome.

Dare I say, I am excited for this movie. I like how they are protraying it as a modernized mythology with the seemingly cosmic feel. This approach may work well than the old style vikings approach, which seems like it would be harder to integrate into current times. This seems like it will work better.

Agreed. They really seem to be tapping into the roots of the Marvel Thor mythos, which is more a big mixture of the sci-fi/fantasy/cosmic than straight mythological fantasy. This is how Kirby envisioned Asgard and the entire mythos.

We all know that in the Marvel Universe the Asgardians were the inspiration for the Norse gods...the whole "chariots of the gods" type thing. Asgardians are gods, which are essentially just highly advanced extra-dimensional superhumans. And like you said, this approach lends itself much better to integration with the overall Marvel Movie Universe with Iron Man, Cap, SHIELD, etc.


Another high quality pic


^I think those concerned with Thor's arm chain-mail looking too rubbery in that very first released pic will find ease with this pic. Looks pretty damn metallic to me.

I think the costumes look pretty amazing and I am jazzed to see this.

A closer view of Loki in that shot. Not too shabby.

I like his helmet. Looks pretty sweet.

Will this be called Thor: The Mighty Avenger? It makes sense with Captain America: The First Avenger leading into The Avengers.

^I think it's a good idea to add "The Mighty Avenger". That will help clue in the general audience that this is a super hero movie.
