So, so, so much credit for bringing out the Destroyer in the first Thor movie. What Kenneth Branaugh and Anthony Hopkins do with that Jack Kirby oddity I cannot imagine.
Am I reading too much into these brief seconds of trailer-time that Branaugh is making his Asgard a cosmic Hall of the Gods? The best (pre-reboot) Thor stories are basically cosmic stories. Walt Simonson, get your consulting credit.
I wanted to embed Chisel's "Beta Ray Bill," but it appears not to be YouTubed. (Ted Leo, rectify this oversight? People need to know about your old band's excellent catalogue, especially when it intersects with the Marvel U.) A second choice:
Don't give them too much credit -- Destroyer's revival probably owes to Paul Dini bringing a variation of it (named the Annihilator) into the Justice League Unlimited series for a couple of episodes, one of which was a pretty sucky Wonder Woman story, and the other of which was a solid Suicide Squad adaptation that only used the armor as a macguffin.
I admit to not knowing much about the character outside of that context--hopefully it'll be a little better used in the movie.

My boyfriend was nagging me of how much he wants to see Thor. So we went. I was expecting a dull comics movie, with a stupid blond protagonist waving a hammer - but I was wrong. Even though I'm not a fan of this genre, I truly enjoyed this one - plus my BF was happy like a little child.
