… missed the news that Joss Whedon was confirmed to be the director of Marvel’s upcoming The Avengers. In fact I found out via a follow up story that said that he would be re-writing the scripts for The Avengers and a little more surprisingly Captain America.
Now I’m torn completely.
I love Joss Whedon’s television work with the exception being Dollhouse which in fairness I have not watched past the magic sixth episode where I’m told that things become actually good so I …

So with the disappointment I felt over Iron Man 2 fading quickly as I begin to wonder how cool it will look in blu-ray I just spotted something over at Yahoo a lot more exciting than the stinger at the end of Iron Man 2.
Chris Hemsworth as Thor in the film
I will admit to being very skeptical over how well a Thor film would come up, that was until I started reading the current run of Thor and just found myself really enjoying it. I don’t even recognise Hemsworth as Thor, for those who don’t know of him he played Kirk’s father in the opening scenes of Star Trek.
I like how the costume has the comic book feel. That’s kind of awesome.
I’m kind of excited.
Any big Thor fans out there who’s heart skips a beat looking at this?
I know this seems to be an Iron Man themed end of week with three Iron Man themed posts in a row, which of course isn’t that out of place here.
But I saw some images of the new Iron Man armour as featured in the upcoming post-Siege Avengers series and I’m warming to the idea. Not so much the superfluous lights all over the armour unless they explain it off like a distributed reactor system. But the way that John Romita Jr is handling the suit is more armour than latex which was my chief complaint originally.
You may remember my absolute outrage and horror (maybe it wasn’t quite so strong a reaction) to the release of the newly designed Iron Man armour.
Of course it doesn’t hurt that I love John Romita Jr’s artwork anyway, I picked up a Thor trade paperback based on this alone and I really like the other ‘posters’ in this “I am an Avenger” series.
So it looks like I can go back to reading Avengers again and maybe the Iron Man series although I have to wait to see who will be doing the art.
Does this version of the armour sit better with you?
