In a bit of inner-studio mimicry, the latest poster for Thor: The Dark World looks quite a bit like this summer’s poster for Iron Man 3. While many have taken shots at Marvel for using a similar formula for their films, it seems that they are now applying that formula to posters.

From the slightly cocked, minorly confuzzled and majorly concerned face of the heroine with her one hand on her man’s right pectoral, to the foreboding yet flexing stance of the hero, to the secondary characters superimposed in the background, and a big villain’s head looming in the distance, it’s a cluttered and failed attempt at a Photoshop job that just comes off as rushed, copied and, well, bad.

For comparisons sake, take a look at this poster for Iron Man 3 and see just how similar they look. With this new poster, expect another trailer to follow soon. If you missed the first trailer, check it out here.

Thor 2 is directed by Game of Thrones helmer Alan Taylor andstars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie PortmanTom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, Jaimie Alexander, Rene Russo, and Anthony Hopkins and opens in theaters on November 8, 2013.
