Thor

[aletheya]

Went to the cinema to watch Thor yesterday. I  was an enjoyable action flick. Then again there is something really cool about the 3 of the most important characters being Thor, Odin and Loki. I actually spoiled myself by knowing some mythology. They actually did pretty well with the mythology, Odin lost an eye, Bifrost really was a rainbow bridge,

At least Yuzu obeys the laws of gravity and looks realistic for someone of her proportions. What the fuck is wrong with everyone in DeSu2? I mean...Io looks like an old Barbie doll!

Anyway, I liked Thor, too. Though, knowing mythology spoiled me a bit too. Like, I knew Nidhoggr without its name ever being mentioned (that was Nidhoggr, right?). And when Odin made his appearance on Sleipnir first thing I looked for were the extra legs. XD

Also considering Sif's mythological role, one has to wonder what she thought of the romance subplot.

Out of 6 female characters only 2 look remotely normal. Io looks like she has inflated water melons under her shirt. I mean seriously, I understand fan service, but this is ridiculous.

It must have been Nidhoggr, what else could it have been. You're not the only one, my first reaction was to look at the legs of Sleipnir as well XD

Well one of the people I went with pointed out, that when Sif was telling about how Thor was coping with Loki's "death" and the girl being out of reach, she looked slightly jealous. I seriously hope they aren't going for that angle though.

This is abnormal to the point of being grotesque. The others look just...ick.

I'm a little ambivalent on that angle. I'd like them to make a nod to those two being married in myth at some point, assuming they crank out a sequel to this one like all the other comic book-movies have.

Yeah, agreed really not liking this. Makes me slightly uncomfortable by just looking at it.

I assume they will crank out a sequel. At least the Avenger movie is coming out, so Sif might be in that (Thor and Loki both have been confirmed). I do hope they make a nod to it; it is a rather important point after all. I just find jealousy plot lines tiring (possibly because I've barely ever seen it done well), so I hope they don't go for that.
