My sanity is back.

Think it over.

What I mean is that we need the hecklers and douchebags either shitting themselves, or so engaged that they can’t find anything to screw with.
Iron Man received all kinds of respect because it was a good movie, and they kept it rooted in science and logic (as best they could).
The Hulk on the other hand needed to prove himself; he had to do that one enormously fantastic feat of strength and power that would just make everyone say “whoa.” Unfortunately that didn’t happen, and the Hulk suffered severely from ridicule. “He never really went incredible.”

And so we need that with Thor. No silliness, no stupidity, just hardcore demon-trouncing action combined with a decent & simplistic costume, and balancing it out with easily translatable Shakespearean dialogue.
Kevin McKidd seems too young, and Skaarsgard seems too flimsy. And like I said we need someone who commands respect the moment they appear on screen.
And just remember Branagh: You don’t only hold the fate of Thor in you hands, but that of ALL the mystical and non-scientific Marvel characters. If this fails to place a good balance of magic & science/technology, then we can forget about Dr. Strange, or a decent Ghost Rider remake (just to name a few).
I don’t know who they found, but I hope it was a damn good choice.
