Pretty much. And really, a lot of that seems to do with the fact of how Movie Thor was portrayed, which made sense considering that portrayal of Thor hadn't learned humility yet. I really felt that Fraction regressed Thor into a rowdy, boisterous brute to coincide with how the general public received Thor in his solo film and other writers followed suit. Before Fraction got on the title, Thor was generally far more laid back and nowhere near as aggro.

Kind of sad how the movie showed Thor's development from an impetuous boy to a wise and strong prince, but the comics...
Yeah, you're telling me.
All the development was basically tossed aside to make him more accessible to "casuals". On the other hand, Loki went through a shit load of development, so that was nice.
Aaron and Remender seem to be focusing on his Viking heritage, but also are portraying a stark difference between current Thor and young Thor, which is good.

I need to catch up on the current series, sadly.
I actually really liked the movie; going by this board I'm probably one of it's biggest fans. I thought it was a great superhero movie, and gave Thor a lot of respect.

Current series is pretty cool. Thor's dealing with this god serial killer and is teaming up with his past and future selves to save all of creation.
Yeah, I enjoyed the movie a lot. Asgard had a real almost Kirby-ish vibe to it, which is my favorite portrayal of the realm. I always felt that, yeah, it should invoke some Norse/viking vibes, but should be more cosmic and sci-fi-y than anything. My only real complaint about it was how the Destroyer got roflstomped by Thor, but I can deal with it.

Well the formula in the Hero/Villain battle has always been the Villain being the more powerful bad ass that will beat the Hero.And then the Hero will bounce back in round 2.Some of the complain that I heard against Superman, was that Doomsday,Darkseid, and Grundy(I don't even know if he truly counts) are the only ones that give Superman a challenge or so.If Lex is the main baddie in a story, you might end up admiring him instead of Superman.Since Lex is more of an intelligence guy.He doesn't have any super powers.I know about Helspont(Can't spell his name right) and He'l are the baddies he contends in DCNU.It wouldn't hurt to add more diabolical and powerful baddies for him to contend with.

Yeah, I read the first issue, but haven't gotten any further than that. I keep meaning to.
I thought the same thing when he fought him, but then the more I thought about it, the more I felt like it was necessary to show just how special Thor was, and how important he was to Asgard. That kind of "Thor's so awesome that only he could do something like this".
To show Asgard really needed him to be a good heir.

I think you'll like it. It's not as...I guess, regal as JMS' Thor was, but it's well written. A darker tone than most Thor stories, imo.
Yeah, it made Thor look like a boss making it eat its own disintegration beam. The sequel looks pretty awesome as well.

Cool.
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope they develop the relationship between Foster and Thor more. When I heard that Portman didn't actually want to do the movie, I got worried.

She was pulling for that one director, iirc. I can't remember her name at the moment, but she was reportedly pretty disappointed she wasn't the final pick. Still, the movie seems pretty cool and it'll be the biggest Marvel movie in terms of scale to date.

It will? How-so? Budgetary? Or something else?

In terms of story telling and the impact it will have in the MCU.
All the other movies have been restricted to a single city or have spanned across a couple, but this one will span across the various realms. The only movies that could be bigger in that sense would probably be Guardians of the Galaxy and then Avengers II.

Oh that. Yeah. I just hope that the movies keep their continuity as strong as possible and don't just gloss over shit.
