Yes, didn't he say that he worked with gamma radiation? And isn't that what gave Hulk his power, improper exposure?
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Despite the fact that Thor never refers to himself as the god of thunder, Tim and I have been making jokes for the last 24 hours that start with "The God of Thunder..." like "The God of Thunder demands a cruller!" It's really more like Olaf the Troll. t edit On edit, the cruller bit isn't actually a *joke,* per se; I'm just enjoying bellowing "THE GOD OF THUNDER" in an Olaf-the-troll voice.
But then! Tim followed through with the best damn punchline ever.
Me: "Oh, Thor, what a mighty hammer you have, so large and well-endowed!"
Tim: "The hammer is my penis."
Thor, meet Captain Hammer.
And hey -- since Joss is writing The Avengers, there is ample room to get a Captain Hammer joke in.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Has there ever been a Thor and She Hulk hook up?
Because she could totally rejoinder, "Well, my pussy is the anvil."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I ganked it from a Scola link, if memory serves: [link]
They showed all the comic book movie trailers before Thor. In terms of excitingness, X Men impressed me, and now I'm equating it with Green Lantern. Captain America was cooler.
I've seen people bitching about the skinny Steve CGI, but I think it's excellent. If I didn't know what Chris looks like, I'd just think it's a painfully skinny guy, not an effect gone wrong.

Man, we didn't get Green Lantern OR X-Men! We got 3 Musketeers and Super 8, along with Captain America and some other stuff I disremember.

We got Super 8 too. No 3 Musketeers. And I haven't seen PotC in the theatre yet.
One of the stunt cars from Furious Five was in front of the mall. Reminds me I have to see it.

I walked in at the tail end of the Green Lantern trailer, seeing just enough to cement my certainty that I'm not going to like it.

I thought it was just a skinny guy they'd found that looked like him.

Ha! I didn't know the actor and I thought what an awesome trainer he had to get him from so skinny to so bulked up!
We saw trailers for Captain America, Super 8 (which my daughter called the new ET), X-Men and the new PotC. I am stoked for all of them!

I am heartened to see the effect looks transparent to people not in the know about it.
