THOR Trailer (Made by a Fan)!

Our first look at the THOR movie (as envisioned by a fan).

      This was also made by a fan.

Let me stress again, lest anybody get fooled… this trailer is NOT REAL. It was edited together from clips from other movies BY A FAN. Namely, EditNinja, who’s got an entire Youtube channel filled with these sort of fan trailers for faux titles like BATMAN VS. PREDATOR, GOTHAM KNIGHTS and a CAPTAIN AMERICA movie starring John Krasinski. I’ve seen a number of these sort of things over the years and I’d rank this somewhere in the middle. It’s not as convincing as that Nathan Fillon-starring GREEN LANTERN trailer (see it again below) with the oodles of impressive effects, but there’s still room to let yourself be willfully fooled if you so choose to (and thanks to Geektyrant for the heads up).

Call me crazy, but I reckon we’ll see a trailer or at least some kind of teaser for THOR running in front of IRON MAN 2. I doubt we’ll see too many effects at play, but I’m sure we’ll get a couple fleeting money shots. The main focus will probably be on the costumes… seeing Thor, Loki, Odin, Heimdall, Sif, the Warriors Three and all the Asgard pals in full cosmic Viking regalia. We keep getting teases that we’re going to see Goldilocks in uniform sometime soon, right? It’s just around the corner.

There’s something of an odd tradition of fan films and fake trailers in the world of comics. The one I deem the most impressive is Untamed Cinema's GRAYSON, which was actually filmed, rather than culled from other sources. I remember GRAYSON DVDs being on sale at nearly every convention around 2005 and 2006. It depicted a dystopian future in the DCU wherein an adult Dick Grayson re-assumes the Robin mantle after Batman’s death and confronts the villains responsible for it, as well as the heroes who (presumably) turned a blind eye.

All things in order, here’s the fake THOR trailer first… 

  

Now, the convincing fake GREEN LANTERN trailer…  

   
      

…and finally, GRAYSON.
