I'm sorry, but this just looks horrible.
Don't mind the costumes, but it looks like they're filming it on the same set as Aeon Flux or Equilibrium
It kinda has a Kirby vibe to it. I want to see more before I make up my mind.
Costumes seem too 'techy' - unless its gonna be Asgard as a parrallel universe.
A little bittoo much like this guy:

On the bright side, we should be able to craft these out of Rubbermaid Garbage Cans no problem, since it looks like the original material.
This image really gives me the same "Why did they..." feeling I get when I look through the bargain DVD movie bin at Wal-Mart.
BINGO....that ' Direct to DVD " feelingEgon Spengler said:
3D.............. just lost me as a viewer!
Egads. They look like characters in a pest extermination company commercial, ala Orkin Man.
Not good.
Really plastic looking. I hope they come off better on-screen!
Well you have to remember they are "gods." When was the last time you saw a "god" wearing weathered, tattered, messy clothes? Well beside Buddha who supposedly promoted shedding your materialistic things.

So would the commercial say "Honey! We've got ants! Call the Odin Man!"?
Lighting, and cinematography can go a long way in changing how this will look in the end... not to mention any post-process effects as well...
Kenneth Branagh is the director for the film so I'll give it some leeway...
why are they not doing Thor in Ultimates style? As some dude who claims to be the god of thunder but basically acts like a rich kid hippie
they're the norse gods. not "new gods". they fight loki, and frost giants. not kalibak and darkseid. it looks too clean too polished, to be gods based off of warrior people. granted, they originally looked goofy, but one was still convinced they were norse gods and rubbed shoulders next to norsemen.Capn_Jack_Savvy said:
they look too much like new gods to me. or fourth world. no where near what they're supposed to be. the only save face is thor, because he sort of looks like his new costume.
i wont be seeing this movie. it just looks like crap. like everyone involved has no idea what their source material is. the interview we all saw a little while ago was a good example. "uh i play thor. im the thundergod." "im natalie portman and i want this guy bad! im heavily flirting! im his love interest!" they looked clueless.
im glad it looks as bad as it does though. i havent been a fan of marvel movies since after the 03 hulk(iron man is alright, but not ZOMG FANTASTIC BADASSAWESOMEICANTBREATHEBECAUSEITSSOCOOL). this might be a good starting point for them to stop for a while for reassesment and get an idea where everything is going like they've said they're trying to do for so long. it just doesnt match up to the rest of these movies, that hammer at the end of ironman 2 doesnt help what ive seen after convince me that it is.
Oh god... The design alone turned me away from this...
Hollywood, hire me as a concept artist, or anyone else, because everyone can make a better design than these "stargate" spacesuits...
Or is this a spinoff/mixover of stargate and Marvel universe?
I didn't say I wanted tattered or messy! I just want authentic-looking materials and design. For sure, their wardrobes should be extravagant and very detailed. But it should look like there's metal involved, like there's weight to it. A familiar norse aesthetic, something less futuristic, would be nice as well. I'll reserve judgment for now; perhaps it will look different on screen and they can sell this in context.Capn_Jack_Savvy said:
It has that crazy cool Kirby design quality to it that exists somewhere between myth and science fiction. I never thought they'd go that direction but I'm glad they have. Super curious where they are going to take this.
The lighting and the goofy smile kinda ruin what could have been a cool promo photo.
Also why does the gold coloring on Odin's armor and eyepatch not match? Totally clashes. Tacky to the max. Fer shur...

Here's some classic Thor artwork showing the weird fantasy/scifi mix of style-
All hail the space gods!
