Thor: Tales of Asgard

[Raph's Girl]

This is the next direct to dvd Marvel/Disney film. It's ugh... the adventures of Thor and Loki as TEENS. Do we really need a movie about a teenaged Thor and Loki?? Anyways. Here's a clip from the movie (out next year). Yay! Teen god angst! Loki and Thor are best friends at this point BTW.

Unfortunatly since it's only available on the MTV site right now only those in the U.S can see it (or those that have purchased the Planet Hulk DVD):

Maybe because its a kind of neat idea that hasn't really been explored before...and not all teen films result in teen angst?

Loki is a little bitch anyway, how could you even tell the difference of if he has "teen-angst" anyway?

But I wanted to go to Asgard to pick up some power converters!

What Brodie said. Loki is a whiny little twat as an adult, how are you going to tell the difference between his "teen angst" and his regular angst.

I know teens make up a big part of the TV and movie viewing audience but I'm really tired of everything being geared toward them. These movies are usually only worth one watch anyways though and Thor hardly interests me so skipping it won't hurt. I was hoping for a sequel to Planet Hulk where they show him fighting the Marvel universe.

Haven't most comic books always been geared towards teen boys? I know some are adult oriented, but I mean in general. I could be wrong.

To be honest I never thought about that. I usually read the adult oriented ones when I do read them so I guess I can't say. I think it's a mixed bag. I can't say the older turtles comics are really for teens or stuff like Watchmen because they deal with themes most teenagers wouldn't understand. Stuff like the Punisher can be a toss up because if it's not well written then it's just gory and that's the only reason it's considered for adults. I've only read Garth's run on Punisher but it's well written and doesn't just toss violence at you for the sake of having it.

they can still be adults and be geared for teens
it's all about giving a moral lesson
