Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor both debuted with Super Bowl trailers last week, but which one was better? My full analysis of the two 30-second videos below:THE PLOT- To be fair, both of these previews were obviously just teasers, but we could fathom more from Captain America in that we found out about an experiment where the protagonist would have to work to keep his mind and we could see the film's setting of World War Two. WINNER: CAPTAIN AMERICA
THE HERO- Neither trailer went all out here, instead focusing on the movies' setpieces. However, at least with Thor we saw some serious hammer-wielding and OTT lightning powers which looked cool! WINNER: THOR
THE VILLAIN- There was virtually no sign of the baddie for The First Avenger (other than the very brief glimpse of the Red Skull), yet in the Thor preview we saw a giant mythic beast- hell yes! WINNER: THOR
WHICH ONE WOULD I RATHER SEE?- Based on the trailers alone, Thor surprisingly looks more impressive mainly in its outrageous innovation, whereas Captain America currently seems like a not-so-great homage to the war years lacking super powers to make it definitively Marvel. WINNER: THOR
OVERALL- Thor wins out this time around, but we'll see once the full trailers for both flicks are released, not to mention the movies themselves (Thor in May, CA in July) for the final verdict!
