Thor and the Hulk







Now, while getting some stuff ready for more updates I thought I would take a breakand have something to eat and in anticipation of Marvel Studios big budget Thor I would watch the original Live action Thor.




Now i know what your thinking "There wasn't a Live Action Movie about Thor before?!?"
and that is true, but that doesn't mean there wasn't a Live Action Thor.
Way back in 1988 in "The Incredible Hulk Returns" Thor was a guest star and Teamed up in classic Marvel style with the Lou Ferrigno Hulk.

You can see him to your left. Yes that is Thor. Now as a kid I thought that was
a pretty good version of Thor and I still do think for the time it was a good Thor.
Now of course this New Thor is more comic book inspired and be able to do things
that Thor can actually do thanks to the achievements in digital technology.

Speaking of which I do thank Odin for the achievements in digital technology.
especially when it come to the Hulk, I so enjoy the Digital Hulk from say
The Incredible Hulk (2008) so much more then watching a green painted Lou Ferrigno
snarl and flex and cower from bullets and who doesn't seem to be able to pull down
one helicopter. The Hulk doesn't cower and could actually throw that Helicopter to the
Moon! That is why the Digital Hulk will always be superior to Ferrigno simply becasue
you can have the Digital Hulk rip apart tanks with his bare hands, demolish buildings
and leap great distances in a single bound and do things the Hulk actually does.

But of course this isn't about the Hulk he is just part of it, this is more about Thor
and yes Chris Hemsworth will be the one who will be recognized as Thor
but he was not the first, not the original Eric Kramer was.

Also as a side note Ben Affleck wasn't the First Daredevil
Rex Smith appeared in The Trial of the Incredible Hulk
as the Blind Lawyer Matt Murdock and Super Hero Daredevil.
also John Rhys Davies appeared as Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin if you can
believe that.
