Another worry is that Marvel has had trouble creating compelling movie translations for their super-powerful characters, namely The Hulk. I understand Marvel needs someone to stand up to The Hulk (Thor), but the farther movie storytelling gets from relatable human characters, the more it suffers.

I thought that the last Hulk movie was really good. Anyone who reads Hulk comics really want to see one thing - Hulk pulverizing everything. And he is actually a pretty relatable character - the loneliness of Banner and the anger of Hulk are very human emotions.
Then again Hulk is my favorite comic.
I think that a Thor movie would be possible to pull off, but not if it follows the same tune that the teaser did after Iron Man 2. I feel like it would be much more successful if they took a hint from American Gods and made the mythology part of it and turned the movie more into an urban fantasy, with a sort of American subculture revolving around it.
