SYNOPSIS
Before he ever lifted his mighty hammer, there was the sword. Fantastic journeys beckon from the mysterious nine realms. Places of dark mists and fiery voids. Of winged creatures and giants in the ice. And the most alluring quest of all – the search for the legendary Lost Sword of Surtur. Hungry for adventure, Thor secretly embarks on the journey of a lifetime, joined by his loyal brother Loki, whose budding sorcery equips him with just enough magic to conjure up trouble, along with the Warriors Three – a band of boastful travelers reluctant to set sail on any adventure that might actually be dangerous. But what starts out as a harmless treasure hunt quickly turns deadly, and Thor must now prove himself worthy of the destiny he covets by saving Asgard itself.

*Special features subject to change
Looks like it could be an interesting show... though the Marvel Asguard has always thrown me off... I mean, in Norse mythology, Fenris and Jormungand (the Midguard serpent) are the children of Loki.
Is this based off the Thor: Son of Asgard comic?
Not liking the looks of this show at all. See this is how I know that the movie is going to be bad. If they can't even make a half decent cartoon series for Thor then they have no business even attempting to do a live action schlock-fest. It's the same reason the Wonder Woman TV show is a terrible idea. There needs to be a scientific law that states how super heroes need to have a quality animated series before having a successful live action following. For now let's just call it Mez's Law.
