Looks like the Thor movie is going to suck.

Dirk has a point. They are Norse gods...they'd look like Norsemen.

Well if norseman had just made up their gods they would make them in their own image, if however you go on the assumption, like the comic and film does, that the gods where real, then they could look like anything really.

Thor was forever ruined by "Ferrisa Bueller's Night Out", better known as "Adventures In Babysitting".

WHAT ABOUT THE HOGUN DEBATE?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Is there similar outrage over Frandral being recast AS A JEW?

Holy shit this thread did not go very well.


Maybe I should have posted it in the Media Centre.

You should have celebrated Thor being the only* comic book movie to pass the Bechdel Test.

*probably not true

I couldn't figure out why people got mad at sausageman over this thread.

How did the boycott of the Thor comics go? Was it successful?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Yes, Thor comics are no longer being produced and the character was left out of the Avengers movie.
