No Mjolnir?..that would be like making a shield-less Cap America or a non-armored Iron Man...
They should have made it a Balder (if ya dont know who he is...look him up) movie or yust use some other Asgardian...

I love it! I can't wait to see it. Any else think the dark elf in the trailer looks a lot like Dizzt?

I think this is actually loosely based on a series Marvel did a few years ago called Thor: Son of Asgard. It started off as a mini, and was good enough to become an ongoing...before getting canceled. If I'm being honest, I don't really remember much about it except that it was about young Thor, and the storyline for the movie, jibes with what I remember about the first story arc. I remember it as being pretty good, actually...but I know I don't currently have any of the issues in my possession, so take that for what it is.

I'm only surprised it's going to take until 2011 to get this out there. I'm sure they'll be tying it to the movie but waiting a year to see an animated film that they're hyping now seems goofy.

Also, why does Odin have 2 eyes??

Also, why does Marvel animation suck so badly when they have all the good artists?

This looks a little like a miniseries from back in the Jemas days of Marvel. I remember getting it but not being very impressed with it.

With the Thor movie coming out, it makes you wonder why they went this route, because the other animated films based on film franchise characters weren't set before the movies.

I wanna go on record and say the Puppy Bowl is a good alternative to any situation.

I say thee nay!

I thought I glimpsed Mjolnir for a second. Or at least some lightning.

I dunno... looks pretty cool, actually, but why do the Norse gods all have English accents?

The line "That sword has taken its last life!" seemed aimed at whoever he was talking to, as in he'd prevent the 'bad guy' from taking another life with 'his' sword.

Looks like it was a "Prince Adam" movie (LOOK AT HIM!)

since this film is about a young Thor he is proably has not earned or knows about Mjolinir yet plus any film where Thor and Lokie are friends has got to be interesting as for why marvel animation seems to look like they suck is because marvel out sources and has yet to let Disney step in and do the animatied adventures

It did look like he had Mjolnir when he said the line about the sword not taking another life. There was lightning for sure, and a shape that could have been part of the hammer.

Oooh, it's Naruto vs. The Lich King.

The animation looks kind of shoddy. I'll pass.

I kept thinking of The New Adventures of He-Man while watching this...

I'm good with this just for the Loki thing. I want to see if this sets up the whole Loki-as-villain thing at the very least. It can fail on every level as a Thor movie, if it gives me SOMETHING on Loki that isn't brain-blisteringly stupid, I'll be fine.

But yeah, c'mon. "We're royalty" is not gonna cut it in Viking territory. "You're nine? Aw. Thanks for reminding me. You can fight Ulik first."

I frickin' hate what Marvel has done to the Norse legends.. Seriously. Hate on a magnificent, glorious level. Pick up an english translation of the Edda at some point or one of the many other contemporary sagas:

*Having climbed the roof of his foe, Thorgrim was stabbed by Gunnars bill through the thatch, he limps back to his friends*:

"Well, is Gunnar at home?"
"Find that out for yourselves," said Thorgrim; "but this I am sure of, that his bill is at home," and with that he fell down dead.

Now that is a story!

Looks like a nice animated movie but I'm not quite sure it'll be a nice Thor adventure. I'm a big Thor fan, not only Marvel's Thor but also the norse god and I don't like the concept of a young Thor wielding a fire sword with a kid magician Loki. I actually don't see the point in making stories about some young heroes actually. Anyway, I'm not one to judge before I've seen so let's just wait.
