Mechanical is fine for me.

The Midgard serpent isn't supposed to be mechanical though, that's one character that should be flesh and blood.

Neither is Fin Fang Foom yet people have no problem suspending their belief of that for his possibilities in the film.

Either way the creature was first seen in Marvel Tales #105 extracted from a statue where the venom became solvent and took form and given that 90% of the time in Marvel comics it's seen as a non-physical entity it isn't that outlandish to think that Loki could have summoned the spirit of the beast and what we are seeing isn't actually biomechanics but the destruction, rumble, etc coming together to form the beast, sort of a Hail Mary when his alien army collapses.

I knew you'd throw that back at me even before I posted the last comment. My reasoning was that FFF was from a space faring, technologically advanced race and that a flesh and blood dragon which tends to be associated with a lower tech sword and sorcery genere would seem out of place. The World serpent is a classic example found in old Nordic tales and thus should to my mind any way, be all bone, sinew and with a liberal dose of piss and vinegar.

Now let me preempt your next response about how the Asgardians have been cinematically rewritten as an advanced alien race and thus renders my point moot.







....ok I got nuthin'.




Other than it still just seems wrong. No matter how much Marvel is trying to blend the generes and make it a grey area between scifi and Tolkenesque lore. Serpents/Dragons from Norse legend should be flesh and blood and Leviathans that carry troops into battle from overtly alien races from other planets and shoot lasers and ride skycycles should be mech/tech in nature.
Even though I enjoyed the Thor movie I hated the implication that Asgardians are just advanced aliens with great tech.

I hope the World serpent is used at some point but in a Thor movie not the Avengers.

Don't you dare mention stormtroopers on Dewbacks, it's not the same.

Re: The Avengers: The Motion Picture Discussion Thread

If you want to get technical FFF already has shown up in the film universe. Jon Favreau wrote "Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas" which was set specifically in the film universe and was even drawn by Adi Granov.

People are stretching similarities and the fact that there is already a backstory that was established kind of and that an image of Fin Fang Foom from VLV was an Easter egg in Iron Man 2

I still it's not Foom I say it's probably the Midgard Serpent, Jormungand.

The Midgard Serpent is an actual sea monster and would make sense because Leviathan means the same thing and could simply be another way of referring to it without it's actual Norse name.

As for IM3 Crimson Dynamo is most likely out or at least the classic on as the original was melded together with Whiplash to create the character Ivan Vanko.

I wasnt commenting on how FF could be in a Marvel Studios film...I was asking how FFF could be related to Loki's attack...

I think FFF will be in a film eventually, just not this one.

I do agree about the serpent. The thing in the film was not a dragon but a serpent, albeit, mechanical looking. It could, I suppose, just be some sort of armor though...maybe...
