The trailer for the third instalment of the Marvel Thor films was released today, and it's everything to do with the aesthetic of my project!
The film looks to be taking visual inspiration heavily from the original zany colourful Thor comics of the 60s and 70s, while combining 1980s action/road trip movie elements in the way the film is structured. The way everything looks has given me loads of ideas in terms of characters and settings.
The colours and shapes here scream 70s psychedelic comic book art to me, which is what this version of Thor has its real roots in. I find it fascinating researching the evolution of Norse myth into this colourful explosive blockbuster format.Pairing Thor, a deity older than Christ, with the Incredible Hulk in this film is amazing when you really think about it. Its like if in a few years there was a film about Jesus romping through the future apocalypse desert with Mad Max. This trailer has been really helpful in guiding my aesthetic journey through the last leg of this project when ill actually be making my outcomes.
(The Incredible Hulk is not a part of Norse myth as far as I know)
