Thor-The_Destroyer

While Captain America is almost certain to be mediocre thanks to Marvel hiring Joe Johnston to direct, I remain cautiously optimistic about Thor, which stars Chris “Cap’n Kirk’s Dad” Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, and Anthony Hopkins, and is set to be directed by Kenneth “I love Shakespeare” Branagh.  Okay, maybe not cautiously optimistic. Cautiously confused, maybe.  Anyhooter, LatinoReview was able to get their hands on this image of the villain, The Destroyer:

As per my source, THE DESTROYER  is sent to earth by Loki to destroy Thor.  It stands at about 9 feet tall.
The Destroyer is an enchanted suit of armor forged by Odin, and when it first appeared it was hinted that the Destroyer had been created as a weapon to face some dark menace from the stars. The Destroyer is used by Thor’s arch-foe Loki on several occasions, and each time has actually come close to killing Thor.  [LatinoReview via MarvelousNews]

I hope by “dark menace from the stars” they mean Mudflap and Skids from Transformers 2.  Now that they won’t be in Transformers 3, I was hoping maybe they’d show up in Thor, all playing dice on the corner and bringing down Asgard’s property values.  Thor could come in and hit one of them in the horn with his hammer, and then the horn could play a rap song.  “Baby Got Back”, say.  That could be pretty funny.  …Boy, this post sure went downhill in a hurry.
