The Helmet has ALWAYS been a part of Thors look. I'm also a person who holds traditions in very high esteem. I'm not a "casual" fan.

What I find silly is a warrior wading into battle without full battle attire. I think it's out of character...and the longer hair Thor is sporting in the Avengers makes him look like a sissy man. As a soldier of any kind...what you don't do is forget your helmet. The reason he isn't wearing a helmet is because Hemsworth is a pretty boy, and wants his face time. It's the same reason Evans likes to take his own cowl off too. For instance in TFA, when Bucky is holding on for dear life on the train...Evans takes a second to throw off his Cap helmet...for what reason?? Face time....to make the scene "emotional". If my best buddy is falling off a train...the only thing I'm using time for is trying to grab his arm and pull him up.

That's great if you're satisfied with him wearing a helmet for about 30 seconds, but maybe people who have waited a life time, and want to see faithful recreations of their favorite characters might not be satisfied. Hawkeye's costume and Thors helmet are just a few areas where I take issue.

The implication being that anyone who doesn't want him to wear his helmet isn't a "true" fan? That's completely ludicrous.

In the Ultimates Thor never wore a helmet. The movie version of Thor was very influenced by his Ultimates design, judging from the beard he sports and many flourishes in his costume.

Thor has his helmet, but it's more of a ceremonial piece than a battle piece. It would get knocked off almost immediately were he to wear it in battle. Not to mention it looks pretty goofy when translated to the real world.

Hawkeye's movie costume is one of my favorite movie designs for a comic book character actually. Seems very realistic, and very practical. I dig it.
