My first question is will Thor be flying?

There is nothing in the trailer that suggests that our God of Thunder is given the ability of flight. Though we could argue that a big portion of the trailer happened when he was casted out and has limited ability but the one where he is in full god mode the nearest we got to flight was his jump to attack somebody. Popular notion is that his flight is due to him throwing Mjolnir and holding on to the Hammer’s thong and let him be carried by it, but Marvel wiki has stated that there are instances that Thor has exhibited the ability of flight without holding on to Mjolnir.

I seem to remember we had the same problem before with Iron Man (before the movie and any footage was shown), there were discussions whether he has the ability of flight as well, and now we see that he indeed does fly. I am just wondering if this is also the case for Thor, whether he will be flying or will he be grounded.




For Captain America will Odin cameo in this movie?

I am not sure whether this has been answered before or confirmed by the movie makers. There were talks of Red Skull raiding one of Odin’s “storage” for the cosmic cube. So, I assume or it would be nice to see a flash back of Odin with the cosmic cube whether a glimpse of him creating it, supervising its creation or just hiding it in his “storage”. I am just saying that an Odin cameo would be nice and will tie the movies together more.




For this years Dark Horse or Black Sheep of a CBM, X-Men : First Class will they try to explain the inconsistencies in their time line?

I really hope they do this, we fans are a stickler for continuity but we are also broad minded and to give us credit can accept even the most preposterous of ideas. Make the explanation canon and we will accept it, the best example of this is Star Trek with their alternate reality hokum, think about it and you say its ridiculous but we accepted it, lauded it as genius some times. They can do this for this franchise as well. Explain away why it feels so different but familiar at the same time.

I even have something in mind for the explanation, one word – Phoenix. Her death in X3 triggered the Phoenix force in creating these alternate realities. I think that is simple and elegant, X-fans are already accustomed to this kind of storytelling with “Days of the Future Past” and “Age of Apocalypse” make it happen in the movieverse and we change our swords to plowshares.




For Green Lantern this is more of a wishful thinking, I am hoping they have Sodam Yat out there with the aliens.

For the mere fact that he is a Daxamite, which in my mind has a strong relation with Kryptonians. Which gives me the slightest of hope that Superman is out there in this universe. DC why do you burden us of not having a shared universe?

Thor will fly. He flies many times in the script.

In stan lee's first thor stories he didn't fly and instead flung himself through the air with his hammer. I really hope he does fly. I haven't read the script either but I also don't believ the vast majority of internet junk.

Hmmm - not sure I wanna see Thor fly. Jumping, leaping, flinging himself about with his hammer as he launches an attack YES!

But actual controled flight? Would just look too silly on screen without some real evidence of how he does it (Like Ironman).

Only the christ figure of Superman can get away with that craziness.

Good article, but I dont necessarily agree with the X-men bit... As far as Im concerned, Charles and Erik meet, become mates, gather together other mutants, have a bit of a falling ou and end up as enemies. That will do just fine for me as a Prequel without even contemplating alternate reality or time travel theories. They are simply not required. Tim Burton had the Joker kill Bruce Wayne's parents and a black Harvey Dent, Peter Jackson had a much younger Frodo Baggins than the books (one of many liberties taken!), 2 consecutive Punisher movies had different origins, the role of Bucky is being tweaked for Captain America, none of the Harry Potter films were scene for scene the same as the source material... I could go on, but my point is that artistic licence will always be used, and liberties will always be taken, and we have to accept it and not get angry if a character on a cinema screen in 2011 doesnt match exactly to a character from a comic in 1976...

"Popular notion is that his flight is due to him throwing Mjolnir and holding on to the Hammer’s thong and let him be carried by it"

Thor doesn't need to throw Mjolnir and get pulled by it to fly. Otherwise, every time he threw his hammer while in the air he would fall like a rock, but he doesn't.

As for Captain America, in the comics, AIM created the Cosmic Cube. I really hope they don't say Odin created it, he can have it in his possession, but they shouldn't make him the creator.

1ST OFF NICE IDEA FOR A ARTICLE

IM PRETTY SURE WE WILL SEE THOR FLY SOMETIME I HOPE THEY WONT IGNORE HIS POWER OF FLYING..

well... he does fly in the script guys...

@CorndogBurglar,ROBBEATZZZ sorry to disappoint anyone but doubt aim made the cosmic cube...

the friend of jane foster looks up stories of odin and thor in the script and i'm pretty sure this is the scene from the trailer, now if you look closely (sorry for the lack of quality) you will see odin holding the cosmic cube:
Photobucket

this is a legends book written probably in the viking time so it would be before aim probably... personally i'm ok with this it makes more sense to me this way... if you don't like it watch the avengers: earth's mightiest heroes aim is the creator of the cosmic cube in that...
