WHO ARE THE THE ALIEN HORDE IN THE AVENGERS MOVIE?

Many Speculations Have Been Thrown Out There
Of Who The Attacking Aliens Are In THE AVENGERS
MOVIE But Who Are They Really? I've Got A Theory!

The attacking alien horde in THE AVENGERS have been revealed more
clearly in THE SUPERBOWL TRAILER but they are still quite a mystery.

Some say THE BADOON, others THE FROST GIANTS, My friend HAWKSBLUEYES@
speculated that they are THE HIGH EVOLUTIONARY'S KNIGHTS OF WUNDERGORE.
Some say they are ATLANTEANS, others THE KREE.

They seem to have a greenish blue hue and they're wearing helmets
with ANTENNAE. They have three toes so that throws out the BADOON,
ATLANTEANS, the FROST GIANTS, and THE KREE.

Well, they could be ANNHILUS and his hordes and that is a good guess,
they do seem to be insectoid-looking.

But I think that LOKI would be using folks from his realm and so does
BRENDON CONNELLY over at BLEEDING COOL FORUMS. I was thinking along this
line too. He says it's a horde from WALT SIMONSON'S famous SURTUR SAGA
in THOR. They are THE SONS OF MUSPELL, CREATURES FROM MUSPELLHEIM.
They are demon-like creatures (which would account for the three toes.).
In the comics they emerge from a portal above the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING.

In the trailer you have THOR'S lightning striking the top of the
EMPIRE STATE BUILDING where it seems like the portal is beginning to
open where the aliens are coming from.

This all fits. They are not new alien invaders to the comics that's for
sure but they are new to MARVEL AVENGERS MOVIES.

THE SONS OF MUSPELL are in NORSE MYTHOLOGY and in SIMONSON'S story here,
This storyline involves the breaking of THE BIFROST BRIDGE and some of
that was played out in last year's THOR movie.

This makes sense to me! It would figure that LOKI would use aliens
from his realm, THE SONS OF MUSPELL, from MUSPELLHEIM. They're
kind of HELLISH.

A lot of the SONS OF MUSPELL seem to have
antennae-like things on their heads, something
I forgot to mention.

For a time I assumed that the 'army' would've been something from the 9 realms (I know that's everywhere but I mean from one of the big players).

I couldn't find anybody who would fit the bill so I thought no more of it.

This is yet another name in the hat but some good detective work!

Nice article...you get a thumbs up!
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 5:28 AM
I also forgot to mention that THE SONS OF MUSPELL
are FIRE DEMONS, the servants of "SURTUR, THE
FIRE DEMON"

Oh, well.

Thanks CAP AMERICA@!

I mean THANKS VERY MUCH!

Like the avatar name!

hey guys, just a reminder, that just because the trailer shows Thor with some lightning, and then the Empire State building being hit by lightning, doesn't mean it's in the same scene. Could just be an editing thing.

I normally wouldn't be bothered noting it but it seems like people are putting those 2 short frames together as fact.
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 5:46 AM
I was just saying that the EMPIRE SATE & THOR
in the same trailer kind of hint at my theory here,
also the portal that has aliens flowing out that
IRON MAN attacks also hints at THE SONS OF MUSPELL,
FIRE DEMONS from MUSPELLHEIM where SUTUR, THE FIRE
DEMON resides, one of the REALMS. LOKI would
most probably use someone from the REALMS.

When he fell off BIFROST he might of fell to the
NORSE HELL...MUSPELLHEIM.

THE ANNHILATION WAVE don't have 3 forward-firing toes.
lol

They do seem insect-like but so do a lot of
FIRE DEMONS from MUSPELHEIM!
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 6:06 AM
Of course they could fvck with the ANNHILATION WAVE
just for this movie. HOLLYWOOD does that a lot!
Give 'em 3 forward-firing toes.

But I still really like the theory I present!
lol
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 6:12 AM
Of course, in the comic page there REED RICHARDS
does tell STARFOX that they're using a space warp,
A DOOM TUBE.

There's definitely a space warp in the trailer that
the aliens are coming through, which IRON MAN goes
blasting through!
blvdnoise
blvdnoise - 2/6/2012, 6:14 AM
Good hunting sir.. The more I see, the more I think it'll be a mixture of "invaders" Certainly there are points from everyone's theories would fit well with the story..
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 6:18 AM
Thanks BLVDNOISE@!
Nice handle!

Actually in all honesty I hope it is the ANNHILATION
WAVE 'cause I JUST LOVE those INSECTOID BASTARDS!
They're COOL & CREEPY, NASTY AS CAN BE!

I'm counting this as my first article on NEWS
anyway, so there!

This theory sounds interesting and Joss Whedon is writing/directing.
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 6:32 AM
JOSS WHEDON is a FRAKKING GENIUS!

Whoever the aliens are they will be spectacular!

6of13 - 2/6/2012, 6:35 AM
Also, if this theory is true, then I wonder if the Leviathan could be a creature from the same place? Just asking as I have never read the Surtur Saga. 'Cos I was under the impression that the Leviathan would be the Midgard Serpent. I wonder if the term "Ragnarok" will be used? Would be awesome if it did.
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 6:48 AM
6of13@...

SURTUR and his FIRE DEMON minions were part of
RAGNOROK....

LEVIATHAN could very well be the MIDGARD SERPENT...

It surely would be awesome if they did mention
RAGNOROK....it makes sense and all fits together
with LOKI'S attacking earth and all the NORSE
mythology stuff and THOR being thrown down to earth
in the THOR movie.

I'm part NORWEGIAN and have studied the crap outta
NORSE mythology.
lol
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 6:55 AM
Thanks JIMOAKLEY@...

I didn't just spot this theory on BLEEDING COOL,
I was already writing this when I spotted BRENDON'S
thread on the site, I've been thinking about this
for some time. BRENDON'S thread just reinforces
my article here.

SURTUR & THE FIRE DEMONS are well-known in NORSE
mythology.

SURTUR is the NORSE' DEVIL.

It's THANOS' related creatures.

Blue body. Yellow gladiator-like armor.

This is also our first glimpse at how Thanos will look.

These invaders are a smaller version of Thanos.
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 7:01 AM
I know some people think LOKI is THE DEVIL but he is
just the God of Mischief in VALHALLA, "HEAVEN".

SURTUR is down in the fiery depths, MUSPELLHEIM...
HELL!
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 7:03 AM
3D@...

GREAT THEORY!
Sounds very plausible but the armor is green,
not yellow.
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 7:03 AM
.....AND THANOS does not have ANTENNAE....
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 7:05 AM
Thanos' armor is actually gold in color...
They make it yellow-looking in the comics
to stand in for gold.
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 7:17 AM
I really can't see them using THANOS in the first
AVENGERS movie, but it could very well be.
MrBlueSky
MrBlueSky - 2/6/2012, 7:24 AM
@DDD I'm going to patiently wait three monthes to see what they are, but the Sons of Muspell are a pretty good guess. Guessing what the aliens are in The Avengers is something I'd like to ignore for the moment. Anyway, The Spirit will be up this week and I'll be sending you another email.
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 7:26 AM
Whoops, I misspoke.

ASGARD is heaven, VALHALLA (HALL OF THE SLAIN)
was the house in ASGARD where the slain in battle
of the VIKINGS waited for RAGNAROK.
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 7:28 AM
OK, MRBLUESKY@!

Look forward to your SPIRIT-CAST &
your email!

I think you may just be right DDD. Everything certainly fits. After finally seeing these aliens in the trailer, they don't quite fit in with my theory.

As far as being connected to Annihilus, that could very well be BUT I don't think it's the wave. The wave is too big for The Avengers alone to stop. It took intergalactic armies and intergalactic heroes working together over a very long time to turn the Annihilation Wave away.

If it ever was used in a film, I hope it would take more than anything Mother Earth could muster on it's own, to defeat it.
Hawksblueyes
Hawksblueyes - 2/6/2012, 7:46 AM
Great stuff!
Hellsing
Hellsing - 2/6/2012, 8:03 AM
Well this probably more plausible than alot of the other theories and I honestly I don't really care who the secondary villains are, I just want to see the Hulk smash the crap out of them and Loki being Loki. But this is a good theory and its definitely not the frost giants.
Hellsing
Hellsing - 2/6/2012, 8:09 AM
if you are right then I guess Wheadon as more freedom and can put his own spin on it, but most likely he was probably inspired by these guys, they might be the same but there origin might be completely different. Well theres only about 2 months or so to go can't wait
DDD
DDD - 2/6/2012, 8:15 AM
Thanks HAWKS@ my friend!

You are entirely right about the ANNHILATION WAVE.
I don't think it's them. But they would be cool!
