Growing up I was never much of a Thor fan. My Grandfather was (My tastes back then ran to the Avengers and the Defenders-his favorites were Thor, Conan, and any DC War or Horror titles). Because of Granpo there were always Thor comics laying around their house, and every once in a while I'd pick them up. In reading them I came across The Warriors Three -Stalwart heroes of Asgard and boon companions of the Son of Odin!
Fandral the Dashing- the secret love-child of Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Errol Flynn.
Hogun the Grim- the stoic Genghis Khan looking guy with the cool hat and wicked mace.
And Volstagg the Voluminous (is that even a word?)-The bravest,craftiest and most handsome of the trio (just ask him, he'll tell you).
I loved these guys. I really hope Thor sees the success that Ironman has.
Well, with Kenneth Branagh in the director's chair, my hopes run high.
I'm just disappointed that Brian Blessed isn't playing Volstagg. if ever there was perfect casting, that would be it.
