Thor

Great place. Bought a piece of well-made kitchen furniture there. I believe I had some Little Orby’s donuts, too. :slight_smile:

LOL, when us Pennsylvanian’s get the opportunity shine the Amish always manage to make their way into the conversation.

And porn.:wink:

So the idea behind Thor is the Hammer, not the man? Any worthy person that posesses the hammer can be Thor? That’s different. The reason I ask is because I looked at IMDB and the tagline says:

"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of… "

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800369/

Anthony Hopkins: Ossim
Natalie Portman: Ossim-er. I’ll leave it at that, I promised myself I wouldn’t drool. :eek: I just hope she’s not so darn skinny…

Renee Russo: Not crazy about her but she can definitely act. I’m glad they didn’t just hire untalented eye-candy. Remember her scenes in Lethal Weapon(s)? Not too shabby.

I think they’ve mucked about with that over the years (like most superheroes.)

Well the way it is in the comics, and the way it’s been since I’ve been into comics is that if you’re worthy you can pick up and use the hammer which lets you control lightning, be stronger, faster, etc. Thor is already harder, better, faster, stronger but he’s an absolute beast with his hammer.

You don’t turn into Thor unless you’re Dr. Donald Blake and you retrieve the hammer, or have it turn into a simple wooden walking stick which if you smack it on ground you turn into Thor! Motherfrakkin god of THUNDER

Hmm. I may have been confusing that distinction. I haven’t read Thor in decades (not counting the Free Comic Day team-up with Iron Man.)

Yes that’s true I haven’t read Thor in decades (80’s anyone). I though remember that a worthy person could wield Mjolnir.

The distinction is Thor is a BAMF on his own, his hammer just makes him more so.

If you’re worthy to wield the hammer you get to use that hammer but you don’t turn into Thor

Basically on a scale of 1-Thor with hammer(10) a regular dude with the hammer would be a 5

Anyone who hasn’t read Thor or hasn’t read it in a while, I can’t recommend JMS’s run on it enough. (Or, if you just want humor, the Incredible Hercules trade “The Mighty Thorcules.” This happens!)

I haven’t read ‘Thor’ since that awesome arc Walter Simonson wrote with the saga of Beta Ray Bill. That was just amazing!:smiley:

I never liked the Thor in the ‘Ultimates’ universe, the drunken crazy dude who hangs out with greenpeace…:rolleyes:

Hopkins as Odin, with Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Thor (Don;t care his name is Hemsworth - he’s still Jim Kirk’s dad) in the back

Uh oh. Looks cheesy/cheap with their armor like that.

“Release the Krak*… er! Damn, wrong mythology… um… er… Fenrir! Yeah, that’s it. Release the Fenrir!!”

Release Jörmungandr!

No wait, don’t do that!

At least not until Thor III: Ragnarok.

Now that is how you end a trilogy. :eek:

Yeah; it pretty much turned him into goo in the comics, though … he did kill it!

In the original myth, they kill each other.

OTOH, in the comics, at least, a gelatinous god is still a living god, barely. :slight_smile:

how about a Thor trailer?

EDIT: (may wanna catch it befoer Marval yanks it–they neem to be doing that a lot)

I know I’ve been down on this movie a lot (perhaps unfairly as production stills may not be a good indicator), but the trailer looks good. I just hope it’s not a case where all of the good stuff is in the trailer (like Last Air Bender according to some).

and by “some” you mean everyone :smiley:

but yeah–it looks sweet indeed…
