Thor meets Shazam
Rectangular_businessman28 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A concept teaser for a never made Thor cartoon from the late nineties, made by Seth Kearsley (Director of the infamous Adam Sandler's animated musical Eight Crazy Nights, and also directors of the superhero cartoon Mummies Alive!) and written by Henry Gilroy.

For those wondering, this is in no way related with Marvel's Thor, but since both works are inspired in the same mythological character, a share of similarities are expected)

In this version of the story, Thor is transformed into a teenager by Odin as a punishment for abusing his powers, with only being able to turn back into an adult while performing heroic deeds, Shazam/Captain Marvel style.

According to Kearsley, this series had designs made by Mike Mignola and Glenn Murakami.

I think it would have been a fun Saturday Morning Cartoon. A shame it wasn't greenlit (Probably as an effect of many people considering Thor a property of Marvel comics, despite said character being a public domain mythological figure.)
