Very nice. I tighter version of the ComicCon footage but that's fine by me. This is a good first trailer for the masses.
I liked this paragraph from the
Yahoo! article.
Feige says that the backstory is Thor is from a race of otherworldly beings who live in a realm called Asgard. But they are able to travel to different worlds, and they arrived on our planet in Scandinavia a thousand years ago. Feige says that since they were so superior to the humans they encountered, "the locals interpreted them as gods and started mimicking some of their clothing and some of their helmet and weapon designs." Since what appears to be mystical is actually technological, Thor's powers aren't that different from Iron Man's or Captain America's.
Several people have voiced a concern about mixing 'gods', aliens I suppose works, with the more modern "real world" feel of Iron Man and Captain America.
If they are successful in communicating that Thor's world, Asgard, is just another type of technology it shoud make the transistion for those determined to make it an issue a non-issue. Could also serve to lay ground work for Mandarin in an Iron Man 3.
Afterall no one questions Supermans alien, god like, attributes. I see no difference in selling this same idea in a
THOR movie.
