Looks like Marvel finished some more of the effects on Thor and wanted to show them off in this new trailer. This time around, Thor fights a shiny metal dude who shoots fire from his face like Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still (no, I’m not going to look it up), plus a giant demon thingie reminiscent of the butthole monster from Star Trek. The rest of the time Thor mostly spends being confused and frightened by our human ways. “Your honor, I’m just a simple Viking God who angered Odin and was sent here through a space tunnel from the land of myth. I find your Earth realm strange and confusing. When I get shot with a taser, did little demons climb inside the cable and paralyze my Heaven muscles? My primitive, mythological space brain can’t grasp such concepts.”
All in all, the wildness of the concept and bizarre choice of director and cast makes this probably my most anticipated of the upcoming superhero movies. That’s why it’s too bad I have to boycott it on account of one of the Viking Gods not being depicted as a pure white Aryan.
Meanwhile, the worst part about the new trailer is that it fails to get across the most important moment, the moment where I TOTALLY SAW THOR IN THE AIRPORT THE OTHER DAY!
So then I was all like, “Hey, Thor, wanna go get HAMMERED? Hahahaha, I’m just joshin’ ya, Thor, I bet you hear that all the time! Hey! So what’s up with this weather, am I right? You stayin’ cool, buddy? Haha, alright, man, take care!”
