I think he looks more like George Perez's version.
Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

This is a comic book universe, there's no way death is going to be permanent. And the comics already brought her back as a Valkyrie, so they'd just be following her arc in the comics.
This is precisely why I didn't have an issue with her death. If we hadn't gotten the Heimdell scene at the end, then I could see an argument against it (but I still think the tragedy of her cancer resonates). Since we did get that scene, her continued arc is properly set up.
Of course, there's by no means any guarantee it will be followed up (I certainly hope we do get another Thor film or even an Asgard miniseries) but at least we have that moment there.
I thought the cancer/Lady Thor storyline was powerful and well done. Based on the end of the movie, I feel we'll see Jane again.
Kirby's version is a little stockier.
Most Kirby characters are kind of stocky.
True, even Slim Summers and Reed Richards.
I feel they dropped the ball but I do think that was the most interesting aspect of the movie going in. IMO this was a case of Marvel humor undermining a great story idea.
There is no sad theme song like the lonely Bruce Banner walking theme song.
I agree. Fighting the illness and going to battle as a fragile human and not a god is what makes her story, and death, so poignant. Returning as a Valkyrie, or however she would come back, wouldn't negate that sacrifice. Anyway, isn't there a saying, "No one stays dead but Uncle Ben?"

Yes, but it used to be "No one stays dead but Uncle Ben and Bucky." So you never know.
Still the definitive theme for Banner and his alter ego.
Interesting point.
I am to but I am more excited for Fantastic Four over Thunderbolts. Still it's a think a good year when if you combine this with Deadpool and Wolverine it will mean 4 good to very good and maybe even a great movies in a role. Then we had a good Agatha series. Daredevil looks like it will be awesome. Wonder Man can go either way but I am leaning towards it being good. Iron Heart looks like the only clunker.
That was really good. This might be fun.
Now we're getting somewhere! Great trailer, great song choice, great sense of the overall plot and threat (but left in the dark for those who don't know what's being shown), and...hell, yeah, Wendell Pierce is in it, if however small of a role!
However, the trailer does raise two questions:
1) I get the Avengers aren't coming. That's been a hanging question since Endgame, one that's been commented on before but never directly addressed until now. Most of them are retired, in absentia, dead, or dealing with their own shit. However, what about Captain America? Makes you wonder how Brave New World will end.
2) I've brought this up before but, again, it's weird how Taskmaster keeps being highlighted as a team member, but barely appears in the trailer and isn't present for at least two of the major set pieces.

They are trying to hide the fact that Taskmaster is still a girl. The character is a dude in the comics I take and the gender switch was controversial. Granted that is everything on the internet but I imagine her role is not big enough for them to really want to highlight it.
