Honestly, I think thor looks fine. Loki a little less so, but still acceptable. Odin however, looks awful. Garish gold eye patch. weird looking armor that almost definitely doesnt fit in with his short stocky bowling ball build, and he has this weird pedo-smile thing going on.

I wont make any predictions as to how it will turn out, but I am totally going to see this in theaters, if only to see how weird/tacky/good/awesome/whatthefuck it is. My curiousity is getting the better of me on this one.

Oh dear, this image makes me nervous

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. I'll pay the extra 4 bucks for a regular ticket if that's what they want but please stop post converting movies to 3d.

Hooooo boy… that looks like shit, buddy. Sure that isn't a Party City Halloween costume ad?

Man, that Flash Gordon comment is right on. And, I don't necessarily mind that, but these costumes and set designs to have a kind of 80s British fantasy/sci-fi aesthetic. I pulled out Krull the other day to show my kids, and with that movie fresh in my mind, I have to say that this picture has some of that feel to it as well. At this point, I am almost kind of hoping that they go with that vibe, and make it sort of intentionally cheesy… that might be awesome. That all said, I really dig the Captain America designs. We'll see….

Shocking to say, the armor for Clash of the Titans looks 100x better. Wow.

LOL

Who gives a fuck about the 3D when the costumes look like they were pulled from a gay pride parade! The mighty god of thunder deserves better than this!

You say "silly Flash Gordon quality" like it's a bad thing. Do you not know how much fun that kind of stuff can be when it's done right? Not every comic book movie has to be as dark as Nolans Batman series.

Calm down fanboys. It looks fine to me. I'm just wondering about why exactly that publicist wasnt happy. Was it because you dared ask the question or was it because they too are not happy with the results of post-converted 3D? It makes a difference to me in what context the question was answered just to understand their opinion of it.

The dude can fly and not get killed by freaking lightning and he's fighting a guy who turns into a giant green monster alongside a dude who wears an armored outfit that shoots out lasers and another dude who can take out bad guys by throwing a circular shield, who cares if his costume isn't norse mythology authentic!

Just make the damn movie good and fun!

I thought Iron Man 2 was pretty lackluster due to its feeding into the larger Marvel apparatus and I have very little hope for The Avengers. If Thor ends up being Flash Gordon-esque stupid fun (Even unintentionally), it may be the best thing to come out of this whole mess.

This post took 5 attempts thanks to the broken CAPTCHA, BTW

@#9 – You are right. That kind of stuff can be fun if done on purpose. However I think Thor is going for a more serious tone but may unfortunately backfire into the silly.

Thoooor, He'll save every one of us.

If it's as much fun as Flash Gordon then it'll be absolutely fantastic. All films should aspire to end by having a meathead crash an art deco rocketship into the palace of the emperor of universal evil on his wedding day while FUCKING HUGE POWERCHORDS blare in the background.

Aside from the Iron Man suit looking awesome (albeit very plastic-y) all the publicity shots for both those movies were awful. BUT the characters still came to life onscreen. This movie depends entirely on what is brought to the table by the actors and the director. So lets hope Branagh brings some Henry V and not some Frankenstein.

You mean Thor has the possiblity to come off as silly? The devil you say!

Yeah, skipping this. The post-conversion just makes it an easier choice.

Aw, I am so over this post-conversion shit. Who the fuck is gonna put down an extra $3 to $5 to see their fave actors converted into Colorforms? I for one will be going to the 2d version.

i thought the costumes had a nice jack Kirby quality.

Oh my GOD that is a silly pic! Why are their outfits so "rubbery"-looking? And where is Loki's trademark horn-helmet? Marvel Studios has epically FAILED on this one!!!

I like Iron Santa.

To everyone bitching about the post-conversion process: do they not show the 2D version where you guys live? My theatre shows both versions, which is great. I see all the post-converted 3D films in 2D and pay the regular ticket price (a very reasonable $7.00 here).

I vote with my money. It does a lot better than bitching on the internet.

Hmm. I'd read the script and in my head I really did not picture anything looking like THIS. I mean, I sort of had it looking more like Gladiator or Troy in my head. But, I mean, it's too early to tell. So we'll see. This is just sort of, bizarre.

I ain't no fanboy. I barely read comics as a kid. I have been entertained by a handful of comic book movies over the years. I do have a sense of fun, but also one of aesthetic. I like Kenneth Brannagh.

But this looks like shit.

No, no, no – fuck this 3D fad. I STILL haven't seen Avatar because all it looks like, to me, is a colorful orgy fuckfest. Pardon my language, I know that makes no sense at all, but screw you if you're convinced the masses want "ooh, pretty colors and 3D" over narrative. 'Inception' will prove this, you Hollywood fucks.

Secondly, what do gods wear from the waist-down if it isn't pants?

Third, I'm nervous, as well, but only because this is supposed to be in the same universe (read: league) as Iron Man and the Hulk. Those films were exemplary. This could ruin that whole universe those other guys have slaved to create.

This pic just showcases Marvel's CHEAPNESS. Looks like shit, which is sad because I thought Kenneth would be able to pull it out. Fuck Feige.

This is the first Marvel movie that looks like it was designed by Jack Kirby.
You do know who Jack Kirby was, don't you?
Post processes 3D – I won't pay to see a post processed 3D presentation. Do 3D right, or don't do it at all

These costume designs will live or die based on: 1.) whether the characters have their respective head gears/helmets… & 2.) how well they look in motion… that being said, Marvel better release a trailer/teaser at Comic Con because I sense the majority of fanboys are losing faith in Marvel at an accelerating rate.

No offense to the fans, but the whole idea of making a Thor movie is pretty shaky to begin with. I mean come on.

Those slacks look like the kind worn by the Cylons back in the original '80s BSG. You know, when they were just extras in wardrobe.

He's a VIKING SUPERHERO – "cheesy" is kind of built into it. And considering the way Brannagh tends to approach "broad" this is probably more than appropriate. Let me second a few others here: This is the first time the words "live-action Kirby designs" is a wholly-appropriate description. Christ, people… not ALL of these have to look like the fucking Dark Knight…

Is that a picture from Batman 3?

Feige has no idea what makes a good movie, he has no idea about 'quality' I know this first hand. For one look at the Thor costume, how does he not know that Thor wearing Slacks looks stupid. Why didn't they use the 'metal' chainmail look for the legs like Coipel's design. Honestly the plastic look is ridiculous, shouldn't it have been more Norse and Lord of the Rings with a Weta construction?

maybe they can postconvert it not only in 3d but also into a 'he-man and the masters of the universe' movie. that would make these ridiculous costumes a little more acceptable.
this looks like the great tradition of really bad production design a la 'van helsing', 'LXG' or 'wild wild west' is going to get a new entry. just great.

'All films should aspire to end by having a meathead crash an art deco rocketship into the palace of the emperor of universal evil on his wedding day while FUCKING HUGE POWERCHORDS blare in the background.'

Quoted for Great Truth!

SON OF A BITCH QUIT PUTTING FILMS IN FUCKING 3D SO PEOPLE WON'T HAVE TO WASTE MORE $$$ THAN THEY HAVE TO! MOST FILMS IN 3D SUCKAND i HATE HEARING COMPLAINTS @ THE THEATER i WORK @!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, definitely feel like these are Kirby designed made flesh. I'm sure they'll look even better in motion. Can't wait.

Am I reading correctly, or will 3D be the only option to see this movie? If that is the case I will not waste my money.

Looks like SHITE! And when is Anthony Hopkins gonna learn to say no? I mean, I know he's gotta keep working like most other big time actors, but then if the movie sucks he's just gonna bitch about it later like everyone else. Just say no, especially when you have to wear a costume that looks like it came out of a cereal box!

The Jack "King" KIRBY defense: please post pics of the King's work where it looks like plumbing PVC or it didn't happen. To DEVIN: "the publicist wasn't happy about it" Not happy about being asked or not happy about post-convert (sentence as written is equivocal)
