 WOW! Looks great (aside from the quilted tinfoil chainmail sleeves). What does everybody else think? |

 ...and Destroyer makes a jump directly from the comics pages! |

Looks good to me—sleeves and all. The Destroyer, meh. Looks like a generic baddy from a post-apocalyptic hot-rod movie.

This is why I'm excited for the Destroyer. Not so much that he looks cool (which he does) but because they took the design right out of the comics as is evidenced by this pic...  |

Except the spikes. I can see the original had some sort of medieval/samurai (maybe some eqyptian?) flavour to it but I'm just not feeling it. (For either version). But after reading up on him, I notice other iterations do have spikes:  I'll proviso that I don't consider myself a qualified Thor fan—never read a single issue—but I just don't find the character interesting to look at and would have hoped Marvel try to pull off a design that's similar, but different. I know this goes against the faithfulness that we all love to see when it comes to comic movies, but this baddy really just doesn't strike the tone (for me). I would have preferred to see the designers try to come up with something that looks like traditional armor, but with familiar accents that nod to the original character. (Like the Punisher for instance; we've NEVER seen him in the full spandex outfit). The helmet just looks so… odd. |
