Otherside: Okay guys I've heard a lot of picking apart of these photos so I thought I'd do a review on them to tell you guys my thoughts.
First Photo:
I've got to say when I first looked at this photo I was actually surprised they did the sleeves the way they did... but I always liked that look best so I was very pleased! As with everything with the costume, the red cape, the chest piece, and everything. The only one complaint that I could give this picture, was that the costume looked slightly like it was made out of rubber. But this changed as shown in our latest picture... but I'll get to that in a second.
Second Photo:
Now I honestly like this photo for the most part. Since this does have several things slightly wrong with it I'm going to make a list and give my thoughts on subjects individually.
What's wrong with the photo:
Background doesn't look interesting: Okay honestly a gray background? This set might look cool on film but not in a photo all it says is: BORING!. What would have been better if they had either a black or a dark blue background with Odin in the background over Thor and Loki. Now that would have been cool... which brings me to another thing.
Positioning: Odin is standing right in front of the camera in fact you can hardly see around him! Thor and Loki seem as if they are just side thoughts... weird right?
Now the worst is yet to come...
Odin's face: This is just soooo weird I can't hardly believe it... but Odin isn't just casually smiling, he's got the dumbest looking grin on ever! Thor and Loki look fine in facial expression but Odin is horrible do I need to say more... yes I do! I'm not really complaining about this just slightly asking, "Why?" So I'll ask it, "Why does Odin have a golden patch over his eye?" Maybe he wanted to look like Nick Fury?
Oops wrong eye... I'm cool with it but still why is it needed?
Whew!
Now for the good things:
Odin's Armor: I like it and I'll tell you why... because it's translated beautifully from the comics:
Now think about it take the silly smiling Odin head off and put this one on:
Now doesn't look too bad does it? Yeah, no helmet but is that the worst thing? I complete my case.
Loki's Armor: Again translated beautifully:
Yeah it doesn't have the hat nor the yellow cape or well yeah still. Instead of the green suit he has a green cape... what's wrong with that... I'd like his helmet for the movie but it's not a big thing either.
Thor Holding The Mjolnir: You guys where soooo busy criticizing everything else in this photo you forgot the most important thing! The Mjolnir looks great and so does Thor holding it! Just like this!
Whew!
Third Photo:
Great just great Odin looks good and looks like he's telling something important to his son, and both their armors look great! Nooo rubber looking sleeves! Told you guys they'd fix that! Only thing wrong in this photo is the lettering is in the way!
I'm looking forward to Thor more than ever now! Aren't you?!?!
Thor opens May 6, 2011!
