Back in the early days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, before the unprecedented success of Avengers Assemble, there was no guarantee of just how popular the franchise would become. No one had ever attempted anything like this before, so no one knew what to expect.

As part of a strategy from Marvel Studios to keep the individual characters in the mainstream minds while they weren't on the big screen, the plan was to introduce several cartoon shows alongside the movies. Iron Man had Armoured Adventures, and the initial idea was for Thor to be animated as well.

The development of the series even went as far as having twenty-six half hour episodes mapped out, in which the God of Thunder would have defended Asgard against all kinds of mystical and wonderful creatures. If the concept art is anything to go by, the God of Mischief would have enjoyed a role as well.

When Thor's first MCU outing was planned to release in 2010, the show was fully green lit to release along side it, however as the movie was pushed back to 2011, the it was unfortunately shelved, never to be heard from again.
