Dude looks fine, this is a +1 for Hollywood, stop bitching.[/quote]

Agreed. I thought you’d all be happy. This dude actually has some size, unlike Chris Evans or Ryan Reynolds or whatever metro-bitch is passing for “built” these days.

Nobody would pay to go watch Magnus stumble through his lines for 2 hours. No one in their right mind would finance that movie, because it would be shit, and nobody would go see it !

How can you jackholes not understand, that ACTORS are in movies, not bodybuilders, not pro wrestlers, not strongman.

Arnold was a ONCE IN A LIFETIME THING !

Fuck ![/quote]

Almost ^This, Arnold couldn’t act for Shit, but he did have charisma. You have many big ass yoked Hollywood actors out there. But your right you have to find a happy medium. I think this actor will do fine. Especially now that I found out my boy from the wire and the Losers movie is playing one of the parts.

This should be a good film. Branagh “gets it” according to the Marvel people he spoke with prior to starting the film. This actor will be fine. Comic book physique proportions are hard to find anywhere off the page, much less on someone with decent acting skills. (Arnold was an anomaly, and not a good actor.)

Whomever said to take this film as an opportunity to “dress to impress” and help push along the idea that working out leads to desirable results was right on the money. This film, and maybe “Captain America,” can only help. (Caveat: Cap gets his physique via chemicals, so there’s going to be some backlash there, or at least unintended consequences. Gruenwald tried to deal with this in a Cap storyline 20+ years ago.)

I’m curious to see what SHIELD makes of Mjolnir in the desert. Do they have some inkling of the pantheon(s)? Or is it an object that cannot be lifted and with unsuspected powers?

And please. He did not get “yolked”; nothing to do with eggs; he got “yoked.”

This is pretty lol. Apparently the fact that the guy probably can’t act is what held him back.

Not even that, but this guy isn’t Toby McGwire. This is a big improvement from BPittIFC.

I would really like to see how many crickets I can hear if we made a rule that only people more developed than the actor can complain about his lack of size.

This is some comical/True shit right here.

88

hey if anyone is still looking for a trailer to the movie go to www.comicbookmovie.com and scroll down to the right. It looks pretty good. He’s probably the biggest actor who’s played a super hero. I know for some that’s not saying much…but if you really look at them the next closest one was Bale…and to be honest that guy looked nothing like what Id expect a real life batman to look like. I mean fuck have you seen Cap? there’s pics of helmsworth and evans standing next to eachother at comic con…helmstworth is done filming and Evans is just starting and helmsworth still towers over him.

And yes X…he’s bigger then me so I’m not complaining.

IF he is bigger than me, why does he need CGI muscles?

as for acting ability, when has that ever held someone back? Have you guys ever heard of Keanu Reeves? Halle Berry? Channing Tatum?

Again, for the umpteenth time. There’s no CGI muscles, he was joking. Humor, etc.

If you go up, I already posted an interview video, were you can clearly see the dude isn’t small, and the director talks about his preparation for the role.

Well no matter how big he is or isn’t HULK will tower over ALL.

^ Really - This is a sham. Look how small the hulk is. What metro actor did they get to play him? I don’t know why Hollywood doesn’t get it - they need to get bigger actors. They could have cast anyone from WWE to play the Hulk. Take the Big Show, he’s like 7 foot small. All he has to do is say Hulk Smash!!! And I’m boycotting this movie until they get a role for Miley Cyrus. MC fanclub for life.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAH, HELL I just want to see the Scarlet Which take the Hulk to A&F for a shirt.

Thread needs a Natalie Portman pic

That CGI comment was either bollox, taken out of context or plain humour.

You can ps the shit out of a photo, but you do not, at last today, alter actual film that way.

If a three-dimensional mesh is not involved, you would have to transform the body frame by frame.
Which would be both costly and impractical.

Also, he seems like a decent actor with decent size.
Just like with new Conan, the casting seems solid.

96

They should have cast Jouko Ahola (Finnish strongman) as Thor. The guy was in Kindom of Heaven. He is the nordic berserker dude who is killed in the beginning fight scene of the film (the one in the woods).

While I’m on the topic of Kingdom of Heaven, why did some skinny queer like Orlando fucking Bloom become the hero of the movie while the badass warrior always gets his asses handed to him in the first 10 minutes? Orlando Bloom should have been Jouko’s bitch.

From the above interview with Chris Hemsworth:

Q: This is a physically demanding role. What preparation did you have to do?
CH: It was a lot of protein shakes and chicken breast, a lot of calories, a lot of food, a lot of working out and trying to get as much rest as you can. That’s the other 1/3 of the equation. I put on 20 pounds and lost a lot of it since shooting purely from not eating that amount.

Q: Are there prosthetics involved too?
CH: Well, the costume is a big heavy chainmail leather costume, but when it’s me, it’s me. It’s not fake arms

Q: What was your training to become the god of thunder?
CH: It was a lot of weight work and a lot of protein shakes and chicken and fish and steak and food. That was exhausting, the eating.

Q: Sounds awesome.
CH: Yeah, it was awesome when you throw up. Working out wasn’t the hardest part. It was the food intake.

I read this article a while ago, but I thought that all you Marvelheads would like it:

Looks like the Thor movie will link all of the Avengers way before they team up on screen, through Odin’s artifacts. The Red Skull’s pursuit of The Cosmic Cube is supposed to be a major plot point in Cap: First Avenger and the creation of Caps’s shield has not been fully explained in IM1 & 2, so maybe the movie version of Vibranium is Asgardian in origin.

That would be a master stroke of writing, leaving the door open for The Black Panther and explaining the appearance of Vibranium on Earth in the form of a fallen meteorite.

To my knowledge, the comic never explained where the Vibranium came from other than “it came from outer space”.

99

It’s not gonna happen, but maybe Stark Industries tech was based on Asgardian artifacts (including the arc reactor), and Vibranium was synthesized thru the Destroyer armor. All of this shit can be worked into the movies to appease fanboys and Marvel newbs alike. Not really that difficult to do.
