MmmmMmMmm....maybe Thor isn't for me.

The Asgard part isn't as amazing and otherworldly as it should be. I guess I've always associated Marvel's Asgard with the kind of really mind-bending, vaguely Lovecraftian defy-the-laws-of-physics-and-sanity approach that Steve Ditko brought to Doctor Strange (which damn well better be a lot more bizarre!)

Since when is Odin afraid of a little warfare? I thought those guys frakken lived to fight!

Where's poor Don Blake??? He's been replaced by some guy from the WWF!

This may be a minor quibble but if the Asgardians have accents, shouldn't they sound more uh Scandinavian? This isn't LOTR! I think Helmsworth is trying to hide his native accent a bit (sometimes he sounds German or something), but it still sounds Australian, which does not map to the Boreal wastelands of my imagination!

The rock & roll soundtrack really drives home an unfortunate overall similarity in visuals and tone to Sons of Anarchy. Which is maybe fun and complimentary for Sons of Anarchy but drags poor Thor way down to a mundane level.

But the ending...

I wasn't really looking forward greatly to Thor, so if the trailer doesn't grab me, and it doesn't, that's okay. They better not frak up Captain America and Doctor Strange, that's all I ask! And the fact that the best scenes were with the guy in the suit, who I'm pretty sure is part of the whole Avengers arc, bodes well for the movies overall. Maybe Thor will be a more minor entry into the overall scheme of things. To me, the Avengers really hinges on Iron Man/Hulk/Cap.
