We have a sneak peek today at what the upcoming animated Thor cartoon may look like. Thanks to re.tro.bot and bamkapow for the hookup!
From where I sit – this looks pretty bad ass. I was worried they were going to “jazz up” his outfit – but it looks true to the comics and I am quite pleased with this.
International friends – what do you think of the cartoon stylings?

I love that in an interview, Stan Lee, when asked by Kevin Smith about Mjølnir, how they came up with the name.
Stan Lee answered that it was just some gibbirish they came up with.
I love Stan Lee as much as the next guy, but Mjølnir a made up name for Thors Hammer, WTF? You can clearly see that Kevin Smith does not want to embarrass Stan Lee so he just moves on with the interview.
Has the mighty Thor no followers in the realm of the Movie Blog? Well I thoroughly enjoy Thor, and I hope for the best with the cartoon. I am currently trying to write my own Thor film script, but I keep getting sidetracked. Unfortunately for Doug, the only way Thor ia guaranteed a wide audience is if they focus on the Donald Blake character as well as Thor himself. I guess the cartoon will just focus on Thor(hopefully). This is a perfect base shot for the character, although I’d prefer a larger Mjolnir(Thor’s hammer for you n00bs). And for all you He-Man praisers: That article is next door.
mark likes she ra! princess of power!
Love the costume; too bad Thor is (cue voice of Ed Grimley) as lame as lame can be.
I never wish a production to fail, but I just can’t see how this character will have any real appeal beyond his current fan base.
i like the new design of Thor in the current run in the comics better
Ugh… Thor
When you are Nordic that superhero is just to lame.
Especially when you know your nordic mythology inside out…
“I HAVE THE POOOOOOOOOOOOOWER”
Ok, make it look like this and I might take back the things I said in that last post.
Yeah, this is just a poster. But the character looks cool nonetheless, if not the same as always. He’ll probably be animated the same way they did him in the animated “Avengers” movie – which wasn’t too bad either.
Man, I hope the show is as cool as this artwork looks. Can’t wait!
the style looks okay. i would prefer digital animation, like the ones in the video games, the more life like digital versions. but i’m happy, the more superhero shows the better… if i were only 12 again at this present day i would be “almost” in heaven.
Looks more like an artwork then the actual cartoon, i’ll have to wait and see for a footage to give my full opinon but all in all it looks great.
I thought you might like that! Glad you approve. I think it RULES! Can’t wait!
