Thor’s costume will be “straight up medieval future tech looking”
When it comes to adapting comic book movies, the one thing that upsets fan-boys is when studios don’t stick with the original design of the hero’s costume. In an article at Joblo, its stated that Thor’s costume will be “straight up medieval future tech looking”.:
“Everyone looks absolutely perfect, right down to the color scheme. AND its straight up medieval future tech looking. And yes Loki has black straight hair even know Hiddleston is blonde and curly. Thor is balls accurate though complete with cape, chain mail arms, the circles going down the front of the torso, and winged helmet. I’ve seen the costumes, and they did absolutely [frick]ing nail it. Very Walt Simonson.
And I think my reputation as someone very critical of most comic book films procedes me here so I’m not just some excited fanboy. The only thing that is funny about Loki’s costume is that while its gold and has the big horns sticking out, the helmet part of it, meaning the part that actually touches his head, kind of looks like a bicycle helmet, I think more so that it would, practically speaking, stay comfortable on the actor and not move around due to the horns.
The warriors three are also the same kind of medieval future tech look, a little less traditional than the comic but still very very awesome and the look of each of the actors themselves is [frick]ing dead on. Ray Stevenson looks especially cool in a chubby suit. Trust me, I think everyone here is going to be very very pleased as Branaugh just more or less adapted the comic. I was surprised at how well the looks work when translated into reality.”
Now this was originally given by a commenter over at Ain’t It Cool News, who goes by the name “IndustryKiller”, and that does make it suspicious. However, this description seems too detailed to be fake, to me. I am happy to hear that Marvel will keep to the original design of the costume. The main part I was worried about was whether or not Thor’s costume would look too cheesy in a live-action film.
Thor is set to hit theatres on May 6, 2011.
