Seriously: LOOK AT THE HOWLING COMMANDOS (specifically Dum Dum Dugan)! There were rumours that The Invaders were also going to be in the movie, but there haven't been any pictures of them yet, and no sign of them in the TV spot.

Captain America I'm a little less certain about. Hugo Weaving will probably be great, as he usually is, but I'm not sure what to think about everything else yet.

Well, I do know a little about each. I watched enough episodes of the Marvel Superheroes minimal-movement "cartoon" to know the basic set-up for Thor and Cap.

It seems, from the trailer, that the movie has dropped the notion that Thor has a secret identify as a frail college professor.]]> Thoughts on upcoming Thor and Captain America films? http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9515&Focus=282433#Comment_282433 2011-02-09T04:29:11-08:00 2013-05-22T04:39:32-07:00 Scribe http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=904 They look as if they both suck.

The Thor trailers aren't much better, but after seeing some interviews with Hemsworth, Hopkins and Portman, I'm more optimistic. Hemsworth described walking onto the Asgard set with Hopkins, both in full costume. They looked at each other, grinned, and said something to the effect of it being the most majestic setting ever. He quickly added that the film lives up to the set. :-) And when Branaugh is on his game, he's freaking great.

Asgard: Thor, Loki, and the Warriors Three go to Niflheim and start some shit with the frost giants, Odin declares Thor unworthy and kicks him out. Act II:
Thor on Earth. Scuffles with SHIELD agents around Mjolnir and other hi-jinks ensue. Loki sends The Destroyer to Earth, de-powered Thor fights it, thus regaining worthiness, recovers Mjolnir.
Act III:
Thor goes back to Asgard to kick Loki's ass. Returns to Earth to protect people. Roll Credits. Post Credits Avengers Tease: Nick Fury tracks down Thor and asks him to join the team.
