I take it this is a Thor spot with you...

You know the REAL reason for this thing is to use against Cthulhu when he rises...

I thought catsuits were the standard wear in the Marvel universe...

I hope we get to see the wedding video at some point (and you KNOW they must have made one!).

Why bother breaking a lease when they could make more money off of the movie deal?
