And yet the Thor running around (when he's not torn apart) currently is a robot?

Like all Asgardians, Thor is not truly immortal but relies upon periodic consumption of the Golden Apples of Idunn to sustain his lifespan, which to date has lasted many millennia. The strongest of the Norse gods, Thor has performed feats such as lifting the World Serpent, stated to be one third the size of the Earth [38], and hurling the Odinsword, an enormous mystical blade, through a Celestial.[39] If pressed in battle, Thor is also capable of entering into a state known as the " Warrior's Madness" (berserkergang in Norse), which will temporarily increase his strength tenfold. [40] He also possesses virtually inexhaustible godly stamina, high resistance to physical injury (eg. rocket fire, [41] falls from orbital heights [42]), and superhuman reflexes.

Thor is a superb hand-to-hand combatant and has mastered weapons such as the war hammer, sword and mace. He is also cunning and intuitive in battle, with many centuries of experience. Thor possesses two items that assist him in combat: the Belt of Strength, and his mystical hammer Mjolnir. The first item doubles his strength, [43] while the second is used for control of his weather abilities; flight; energy projection and absorption; dimensional apertures; matter manipulation and the most powerful of his offensives, the God Blast, and the Anti-Force. [44][45]

After Odin's death, Thor inherited his father's power, the Odinforce. Thor was then capable of feats such as reconstructing the Earth's Moon, [46] willing the Asgardian monster Mangog into nothingness[47] and, by focusing his entire power into a hammer throw, even decapitated a Desak-occupied Destroyer.[48] Thor later briefly acquired mastery of the Runes, and a level of enlightenment that allowed him to free Asgard from the eternal cycle of Ragnarok, becoming even more powerful than his father. [49]

hmmm

yeah that sounds like just about every power

Grey Ghost

Mjolnir allows him to control the weather and to teleport within one dimension as well as between separate ones

Doesn't Kenneth Branagh also star in all his movies?

So doesn't that mean he'll be Thor?

Or maybe Loki.

And yet he still whines like a bitch about the Civil War. So what if Tony Stark cloned you without permission? Ares is a better god character than you right now. Mother-fucking-I-wish-I-was-Wolverine-every-woman-on-the-mighty-avengers-is-a-bitchy-wench-Ares.

I love Thor. I just wish J. Michael Straczynski wasn't writing his comic, since I don't like his work.

For better or worse, I'll see this on day one.

i thought superman did not bleed. like when he gets shot he does not bleed, why is his mouth spewing blood here?

QuestionMarkMan

He's weak against magic and Thor's hammer is partly magic based

Go read Matt Fraction's Thor trilogy.

It's all set in Thor's pre-superhero mythological days and it is metal as all fuck.

Seriously, this Thor movie is either gonna be badass beyond belief, or a trainwreck of must-see proportions. Either way, count me in.

So, when did "negotiating" become "confirmed?"

man matthew vaughn was perfect for this and I wish he hadn't bitched out

Well yeah, he was.

But Branagh is a worthy substitute.

When it hit the trades.

With actors, you can't be quite so certain. But when a director-in-talks runs in Variety, Hollywood Reporter, et al., that shit is happening. (barring some great big catastrophe)

But hey, don't let that stop you from being pickles on parade.
