I'll let you guys in on the discussion Erick had with Seng during the SGTCC - the original pose will stay very close to Stanley and Seng's original art concept. That pose had a reason vs a dynamic action pose.

We envisioned Thor in a calm pose to reflect the confidence and immense power of a GOD, without the need to show rage or action but a calm, classic, "You are about to get owned by arguably the most powerful Avenger" - the feel that Thor is talking down to whoever he's facing off before he gives that poor bugger a divine wallop.
You know - that feeling when someone who stares at you with 100% confidence he can and is about to kick your butt if you're msbehavin.... yeah that's the pose we wanted lol.
