THOR!

I always reserve my opinion on a comic book-to-film transfer only after I have seen the trailer, and FINALLY, Thor is here.

Kenneth Branagh, a strange choice, has brought the Asgaardian god to the screen and from the looks of the trailer, he has stuck to the source material. I honestly didn’t see the thespian actor and director making the cross from Shakespeare to Marvel, but hey if meant Anthony Hopkins playing Odin, so be it. Other notables are Natalie Portman as Jane Foster the love interest and Rene Russo playing Odin’s wife, Frigga.

Small note, this teaser shows a hell of a lot and if you don’t want it spoiled for you, I suggest not clicking play.

THOR stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore & most importantly Mjolnir.

Thor will be in theaters in May 2011.

Superheroes Re-imagined as Mr. Men

Growing up, I never had any of the Mr. Men books. Going through them now, I was a lot of those, including one that’s not in the series – Mr. Total-Pain-In-Yo-Ass. My mom would be nodding in agreement if she were reading this, but I’m not so sure she knows what the Internet is. In any case, I love you mom :heart:

Right where was I going with this? Oh, a Glaswegian graphic designer by the name of Seven_Hundred wondered what your favourite superheroes and villains would look like if they were drawn as Mr. Men characters. He set to work, and the results are so very cute. See some of Seven_Hundred’s fun re-imaginings after the jump.

Hi, I’m a Marvel…and I’m a DC

Inspired by the Mac vs PC ads, YouTube user ItsJustSomeRandomGuy has created a hilarious series entitled “Hi, I’m a Marvel…and I’m a DC” where the characters from the two franchises engage in debates.

In this match, outsiders Wolverine and Rorschach discuss lawsuits, PG-13 violence, and the best characters/comic books of all time.

And in this one, Deadpool compare notes with other superheroes in true Deadpool style.
