I think if they made Taken, just with Neeson playing Lincoln searching for his kidnapped son and at the end the kidnapper's are led by Booth's brother, it would be fantastic.
Dad: I just watched this really nice movie. It has Liam Neeson in it and he goes to France and...
Me: You mean the movie Taken?
Dad: Yeah. Such a beautiful movie about what a father would do for his daughter
Me: Remember that time you skipped my college graduation because you didn't want to make the 2 hour drive?
Dad: What?
So Taken is a great movie for dads who have favor their daughters.

What spring does with the cherry trees.
The Destroyer is an Asgardian weapon of mass destruction created by Odin.
It's a mystically animated suit of armour forged from Uru metal, the same stuff Thor's indestructible hammer is made of, and enchanted up to wazoo with all manner of things. It's main weapon is a beam of destructive force it can fire when its faceplate is opened, and it has the ability to disintegrate essentially anything in existence.
It's got about a thousand more weapons built in, each one only marginally less destructive and easily capable of vaporizing an entire city.
Also, it's invulnerable and stronger than basically anything in existence.
I don't think it's ever been beaten by force, except by the Celestials, and it repaired itself after that even when they melted it down into slag. The only way to stop it without Celestials is to stop the person whose mind is animating the thing.
I know the whole Thor thing is only losely based on norse myth but still, I don't like the look of Asgard. Too clean, too... elven. It just doesn't look like something a viking would come up with.

I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

Because they're not Vikings.
I know but who wouldn't associate Thor/Odin/Asgard and so forth with vikings?

People who don't know anything about Vikings, I guess.
See, I get your point, but unless you subscribe to the StarGate/Chariot of the Gods version of mythology, I really think a story based on a mythos should be influenced by the society that came up with that mythos in some way. It doesn't have to be a big thing - no need to have Odin living in a wooden hut - but I'd like to see some familiarity.
For instance, apparently the floor of Odin's hall in this film is engraved with Norse designs. I approve of this. It's subtle but it's there for you to see the link. What I'd like to see is more of that kind of thing.
I'm really no expert on comics but aren't other myth-inspired heroes and places like Hercules/Olympus pretty clearly based on their specific culture?
I dunno, it's not a big gripe. I just imagine norse mythology to be much more martial and gritty (Yea I know lol grimdark etc).

You guys are assuming quite a lot about the place from one pan over shot and Odin talking.

well and this is even nerdier in comparison, but the Norse pantheon featured in Marvel are really supposed to be kind of space alien things so it really is like Star Gate, in that they're not really deities.
Man it is really complex but like the Norse pantheon in Marvel are hinted at not being deities while the Greek ones are but sometimes like with ragnorok and stuff they are more like gods so

Okay that explains things a bit I guess.

No one saw that cameo coming

Rehosted here

spielberg's working on too much shit to actually have time to invest in this
but once he does it probably will be confirmed
and then i will throw an epic party to coincide with the release

I can remember the amount of "this is dumb" comments the first Iron Man trailer got.
he's in the Avengers, so I'm thinking he'll be alright.

And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
Man, I didn't hear anybody call the Iron Man trailer dumb.
Because they're not Vikings.
They are not vikings.
someone posted the first Iron Man threads and people were saying all sorts of nays, but I can't remember if it was about the trailer or not.
I know but who wouldn't associate Thor/Odin/Asgard and so forth with vikings?
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

the thor movie doesn't have vikings in it
Crazy.
He's a Greek God.
