...still think the hammer should be bigger...

but I'm definitely excited

[thunderforce]

By the way things were going down in this trailer

[Show spoiler]it reminds me with the you arent worthy stuff of the disney cartoon hercules movie where he becomes a true hero at the end and gets his godly powers back. i just hope the fight with the destroyer isnt to short .

[thunderforce]

One point i have is in the comics when thor throws the hammer it didnt spin and the hammer part always hit what he was aiming for in that trailer it seemed to spin did anyone else catch that ?

[Diesel]

The hammer's head is straight the whole time after he throws it I just watched that part again (watch it again hitting pause/play really quickly)

It looks to spin because he lets it go while it is still straight up and not pointing forward.

He lets it go and it levels so that the head of the hammer is flying towards where he is throwing it and continues going straight.

I watched it again slowly and you are right the hammer does fly like it should . Like it does in the comics anyway . Man i cant even nit pick on it . He did too good a job .

When Marvel revealed the "assembled" line-up of the upcoming adaptation of The Avengers, fans may have been too busy seeing recent additions Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner standing amongst Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans to notice the inclusion of Clark Gregg, who plays S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Coulson.

No one is more surprised by his continued association than Gregg, who began his Marvel career in Iron Man as Coulson, a character that doesn't even exist in the comics. Gregg continued in Iron Man 2, including a Easter egg scene after the crdits that set-up Gregg's participation in Thor, and will obviously continue with The Avengers. Gregg told Collider that "every time they [Marvel] call, I’m like, 'Really? I get to do this guy again?'" He's also hoping that his relationship with Marvel will eventually include directing.

Until that happens, Gregg can enjoy working on Thor and The Avengers. Gregg expanded (a little) on what his character will be up to in Thor.

After Thor, Gregg will have to wait for The Avengers to play Coulson again, since The First Avenger: Captain America takes place in the 40's, Gregg points out, "so unless they write in a wormhole, I won’t be in it."

That probably didn't need to be tagged, but I did it just in case.

I've been reading a couple articles here and there, and people are b****ing about the CG not looking great.

Give me a freaking break, the movie has been in post production for what? Two months?

They still have about 8 months of post-production work to do.

I personally thought the CG looked fine given the quality of the video. It'll definitely look better and be more refined when the movie is released.

Great article Diesel, thanks for posting

I love how everyone involved in these movies, even Clark Gregg, just seem enthused to be a part of Marvel's grand scheme. It's not just a role to them, and they really love being a part of it. It really makes them stand out more than actors and director's that make other comic book movies who just look at is as "another job". I love reading the interviews with all the people involved and seeing how much they love the comics and what Marvel is doing.

Also, we have months until the movie comes out, just a little under a year. The movies CG will look great by then. It hasn't been that long since they started pre-production guys. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt that it's going to look better

[Diesel]

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of this image from Kenneth Branagh's Thor when it first released. True enough, that. But I've got to say that with the five minute long Comic Con promo reel currently appearing and disappearing online just as fast as people can upload it and Marvel can hit them with copyright infringement claims that what I've seen now looks good. Damn good.

Marvel, a suggestion if you want to win over the skeptics. There's nothing particularly spoiler-y in that reel. Stop chasing it down and removing it and release it in high definition instead. That reel is your friend. Embrace it.

the hammer is about the size it usually is in comics (in fact it might be a bit bigger than what you usually see in comics) in many issues of Thor, he would put the staff part of the hammer (the wooden section) in his belt with the stone part up above the belt to hold it (like someone would put a gun in a belt holster) if it was bigger he would never be able to do that. i think the hammer is fine, in fact if they had made it a little smaller it would be perfect or more to the comic book scale. remember the hammer is enchanted with Odinian magic so the size of it is not what makes it grand, it's what it can do and channel that does....hmmm, that does sound kinda familiar, size....
