This is actually looking pretty nifty. But well, so much can go wrong still. Yet I like it how they already now intend to tailor the events together somewhat on a larger scale, that alone is pretty cool.

How "Thor" is gonna act out with the story of Asgard and so on, I don't really know. As a Scandinavian myself that mythology is sorta on my backbone and while I liked the basic idea in Neil Gaiman's "American Gods", I usually dislike other interpretations that do not originate from around these parts. Arrogant as that may sound, I suppose it is all just a great fundament to build some entertainment from nevertheless

In fact I think it's more a matter of me always picturing the Thor character as someone who WASN'T a "Norse God", but rather a character who got powers similar and just got inspired from that. Because I love the Marvel universe but I like it to stay in some sort of "plausible" established boundaries. (Keep out mythology) Supposedly my kicker really is to leave out all these kinds of discourses and keep them to one level, plainly. No space interventions, no Norse mythology/God shit, no calling up demon powers or whatever. Marvel has mixed this up lots of times during the comics and sometimes it worked but a lot of times I personally always got disappointed. Hope I'm not the only on in that boat :P

PS. Thanks Screamfeeder and Malakriss for answering, btw. Never got to respond back then.
