Review: (#1 & #2) This pair of character designs for new Thor and old Thor are gimmicky and the colors, while reminiscent of the ’80s stadium rock motif, aren’t likely to be a draw.

(#3) With quite a few details worth viewing, it’s a fairly standard design concept with sparkles added for accent and decreasing quality.

(#4-#10) A series of very colorful, but relatively dull character posters that mostly work, but feel a bit too uniform for their own good. (#11) The tattoo concept, while strangely fitting, is cheaply accomplished. (#12) A decent collection of images that lack the kind of detail one would expect. (#13) Like the prior design, this image seems at odds with itself: there are lots of distinct colors blended together weakly without enough details. (#14) This design is very colorful and reminds of a lot of 1980s styled efforts, but also seems strangely limited in terms of details.

Trailer Rating: B- / B

Review: (#1) Forced humor makes this trailer struggle to appeal, but it’s that stinger at the end of the trailer that seems most desperate.

(#2) The plot unveils itself somewhat in a design that feels formulaic with the occasional flash of inspiration. It will do barely what it’s supposed to do and nothing more.
