Asgardian Adventures For Everyone
The animated series will follow Thor, the Norse god of thunder, as he defends his mythical home of Asgard against fantastical villains, fiendish hordes, winged creatures and angry giants. The show will take place in various worlds -- from mountainous landscapes to places of icy mists and fiery voids -- and will include many of the comic's supporting cast, including Balder the Brave, the Warriors Three and Thor's evil adopted brother, Loki.
Marvel president of animation Eric Rollman said the series is part of the company's plan to follow each live-action movie with an animated series and "offer a continued awareness in the marketplace." It already is in production on cartoon series "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes," which will be available for broadcast in 2011, in time for Marvel Studios' releases of the live-action "The First Avenger: Captain America" and "The Avengers."
I'm just not really interested in seeing Thor fighting in Asgard. I've never enjoyed those comic stories. I know they can be epic and have huge battles against Frost Giants or whatever other creatures live there. Hulk Vs Thor does look better than I thought it would be. I just don't know if I'd care to commit to a weekly series with Thor. They plan on the series airing in the fall of 2010.
Now if it was Thor in the Avengers, that I would want to watch. I've always preferred Thor's adventures on Earth with the 'mortals.'
The good news is the fact that Marvel is making more cartoon series. Let's hope that they give these a lot of support and they all kick ass.
