It is so unfair that while I was at work today, Twitter was all a-buzz with comments about the new Thor trailer which hit the interwebs overnight.  Of course, everything cool is blocked at the office.  I just got to watch and… Oh.  My.  God.

Od’s Blood, it looks amazing.  Plus, the Destroyer.  I mean, really!  The Destroyer.  Awe.  Some.
