Thor - Second Trailer - So What

What this second trailer for the new THOR movie and then come back to camera two for a discussion.



So, let me understand this. Odin, the All-Father of Asgard, banishes his son to Earth in JEANS AND A LONG SLEEVED T-SHIRT??? At least the 'Terminator' showed up naked because that actually made some sense.

Thor can toss orderlies around like paper cups but a tazer lays him low for as long as it takes to get him to a hospital and into one of those gowns? He is THE GOD OF FRICKEN' LIGHTNING!!!

Where is his helmet?? Thor always wears his helmet!

What was so wrong with the whole "bang my cane on the ground to call up the God of Thunder" story? Donald Blake, the crippled doctor? THAT is how you teach someone humility - not by making the entire female and half the male race of Earth lust over Hunky Bill here. I so hate when filmmakers throw out key story elements because they think they are smarter than everyone else.

The 'Destroyer' does look pretty cool despite the fact that the 'town in the desert' looks so fake and small towny. It's just made to be destroyed.

The CGI is that crappy dark blue again. Is that the only color it comes in?

I feel so old. There was a time when I would have went for this like a biscuit goes for the gravy. Now I look at it and all I feel is sadness...an homicidal rage.

Yeah it's a shame they didn't go with the Donald Blake storyline. And the destroyer? I half expected the Power Rangers to come along to back Thor up.

Besides, Nanny McPhee has the 'bang your cane on the ground' covered.

Besides Cal, he's soooo pretty. Does that not count for anything?

Well he's no Cal but he'll do.
