Trailer for "Thor" Movie
Saw this last night at a friend's party. I haven't historically been a fan of the "Thor" comics but this looks kind of cool.
I see they're not going with Thor and company being the actual Norse gods, based on the comment about magic and science. I think it was Arthur C. Clarke who said sufficiently-advanced technology is not distinguishable from magic anyway. Are they conveniently human-like aliens, then, or humans who had developed uber-advanced technology and masqueraded as gods?
In Norse myth, if I remember right, Odin was the god of war. Here, he seems inclined to maintain peace while Thor just wants to fight. I guess when it's one's own realm one is maintaining, it's in one's interest to keep the peace.
Not sure if I'll go see it, but it looks like it'll be a fun movie if I do.
