The cast on this is crazy awesome. And here I used to think that "Thor" would attract the least attention (and talent) out of all the "Avengers" movies.
"Thor" is the least realistic Marvel Avenger that will be hitting the big screens, but I'm just as surprised as you that a number of people are really getting into it.
