I really hope he has the same voice too

[–]The_Painted_Man 198 points199 points ago

Oh, that voice! Really makes my vagina tingle...

(And I'm a dude!)

[–]orthag 88 points89 points ago

You should get that looked at. And by a doctor, not that prostitute living in the dumpster down the block.

[–]jetfool 22 points23 points ago

Imma docter, lemme see

Porque no los dos?

Edit : Por que no los dos?

Thanks, wilu

[–]Astrapsody 25 points26 points ago

I'm not really...fluent in Spanish. Does that mean you want cheese with your nachos or no cheese?

[–]kazekoru 21 points22 points ago

Yes.

[–]The_Painted_Man 17 points18 points ago

Sí.

[–]srs_house 8 points9 points ago

That's not a real question - no one says no cheese. (Exemption for people who can't eat it because of health reasons.)

[–]SubDtep 19 points20 points ago

[–]tensoccs 5 points6 points ago

...are you sure?

[–]The_Painted_Man 9 points10 points ago

[–]MechE37 73 points74 points ago

I'm interested to know what he teaches?

[–]williamstownburg[S] 124 points125 points ago

He teaches a lot of film classes. He's real cool and is one of those professors who cares about you learning and "getting it" rather than grill you with quizzes and papers.

[–]crunkjuicer 27 points28 points ago

You don't go to NYU do you?

[–]IndianXC 1 point2 points ago

Why is this comment rated so highly?

/metareddit

[–]jkalderash 6 points7 points ago

Are you a Williams student? Noticed the username... never took a film class there though.

[–]thechaosc 3 points4 points ago

Film professors are usually rather cool :)

[–]r_kay 71 points72 points ago

Didn't you read the title? he teaches Awesome!

[–]Trevallion 55 points56 points ago

That's exactly how I read it.

"So, what do you teach?"

"I'm an awesome professor. I teach Intro to Awesome and Awesome for Social Sciences."

[–]skepticalDragon 22 points23 points ago

Umm, did you see the picture? Clearly he teaches AWSM-542: "Advanced Studies in Awesomeness".

[–]anusface 59 points60 points ago

He teaches bifrost protection 101

[–]jetfool 7 points8 points ago

Norse mythology, durr

[–]thegreatvortigaunt 693 points694 points ago

Would have been better in /r/pics.

Otherwise, that is a damn fine Heimdall cosplay. I've never seen someone dress up as him before. It's amazing how badass a guy can look, when their job is to guard a rainbow.

[–]Biinaryy 50 points51 points ago

Also would have worked in /r/cosplay, but /r/pics does have more subscribers.

Anyways, your professor is an awesome man. I only wish he was my professor as well.

[–]srs_house 23 points24 points ago

If only there was a way to cross post pictures...

[–]williamstownburg[S] 165 points166 points ago

Yeah you're right. It was my first post. I see the difference now though for sure.

[–]make_my_dave 99 points100 points ago

Mislabel another post and he'll probably sever the Bifröst forever

[–]tokomini 19 points20 points ago

On the plus side, that means you can turn in your assignments late. Or never.

[–]JavaPants 14 points15 points ago

How much dark energy did you have to muster to turn this essay in on time?

[–]2ltleme 43 points44 points ago

OMG thats Dr. Parham! Azusa Pacific Alumni here and I saw him wearing this on my news-feed a while back.

[–]rext12 17 points18 points ago

This world is too small. I didn't think people knew about that school.

[–]2ltleme 15 points16 points ago

It's very true. Have a look at his FB wall.

Several people have now pointed this reddit link out to Dr. Parham in the past hour. APU redditors are more common than I would have ever thought.

[–]bearvivant 5 points6 points ago

Isn't that school super anti-gay? Like Equality Ride status.

[–]williamstownburg[S] 94 points95 points ago

Honestly, it is in a rough patch. I am not to sure where the school is going with the stance in the future. As for myself, I am not that at all. I have a good friend who is gay and he is awesome! As a Christian, above all else I just want to love people and be a decent person in this world. Truly, my dear redditors there are Christians out there who don't Bible thump, judge harshly, and have hate centered ideologies. There are some of us who simply care about equality and love as well as believe in Jesus Christ. Off the soapbox now... I really do not want to get into any sort of debate, i just thought that while I made it to the front page I would say something... You guys are great.

[–]MikeVoldemort 55 points56 points ago

Clearly it's not all about intolerance if your professors cosplay as pagan gods.

[–]williamstownburg[S] 26 points27 points ago

DAMMIT! Admiral Ackbar can see right through me!

[–]EquinsuOcha 8 points9 points ago

Yes, but there's a blind spot if you get real close.

[–]rAtheismSelfPostOnly 11 points12 points ago

It's okay. People in /r/new don't care

[–]BMANN2 45 points46 points ago

You're not living up to your name.

[–]Darth_Hobbes 17 points18 points ago

I'm afraid we have to let you go.

[–]rAtheismSelfPostOnly 15 points16 points ago

Oh. um aren't /r/atheism selfposts awesome guys!

I'll get better at this novelty stuff some day...

[–]TumbleDryLow 36 points37 points ago

I'd say "have faith," but...yeeeeeeah

[–]tokomini 10 points11 points ago

Have.... science.

[–]pumahog 43 points44 points ago

He'd better be careful...that BLU spy is eyeing him awfully suspiciously.

[–]crusoe 28 points29 points ago

He's heimdall, he knows that spy is there even before the spy showed up at comic con. He knows what that spy ate for breakfast three weeks ago. He is merely letting the spy think he's not been seen.

[–]alphalaz 29 points30 points ago

He's all like: I can't see a damn thing with this helmet... But I look awesome.

[–]hl3crowbar 20 points21 points ago

"I'll wear a bad ass helmet, bitches love helmets"

[–]NagisaK 5 points6 points ago

That's the thing with helmets. You either wear a really badass one or wear one that is totally bizarre looking.

[–]luckybms 52 points53 points ago

This is so badass! Heimdall is my favorite character

[–]Twinkling82 25 points26 points ago

Mine too. We were watching that movie last night, and occurred to me; As much as I love Thor, I am more immersed in Heimdall in that movie.

[–]The_Painted_Man 13 points14 points ago

Why?

[–]Dominus-Temporis 58 points59 points ago

Probably because he's a badass.

[–]The_Painted_Man 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, i get that. What makes him a badass?

EDIT: just waiting on someone who read the comics to share more than just a downvote, but rather an explanation...

[–]gazamcnulty 51 points52 points ago

The fact that while most people would gladly die after being frozen solid he was pissed off enough to stay alive until he literally heard Thor yelling at him from across the universe which made him angry enough to break out of the ice and murder the first creatures he saw.

[–]A_Stoned_Smurf 19 points20 points ago

He guards a motherfuckin' rainbow on Asgard, how is he not a badass?

[–]Damaband41 4 points5 points ago

And he does it like a badass. Nobody guards it with more tenacity.

[–]The_Painted_Man 4 points5 points ago

So... he is an Asgardian leprechaun?

I am playing - i just wanted to hear peoples answers.

[–]_Gingy 4 points5 points ago

Rainbow Guardian.

[–]The_Painted_Man 0 points1 point ago

Thanks _Gingy.

[–]MegaZambam 2 points3 points ago

Why wouldn't he be a badass?

[–]Epithemus 8 points9 points ago

This is Reddit... I'm embarrassed that someone is being downvoted for asking a question.

[–]HeroicPrinny 3 points4 points ago

Because usually when just saying "why?" towards someone without clarifying your exact question or explaining your confusion, it can come off as aggressive, rude or contrarian.

A better way to state this would be, "He's my favorite character too! (as the asker tells us below) But I'm wondering, is he even more badass in the comics than the movie portrays him?" (again the asker says this below later on).

I was ready to downvote him for being terse, aggressive, and contributing nothing but what might be bait for an argument, but then I scrolled down and saw he was legitimately curious and genuine.

[–]Ullyssys 21 points22 points ago

I SEE SPY!

[–]madsabroo 7 points8 points ago

Would have been nice to see the people who MADE his costume credited. SoloRoboto Industries made the armor (https://www.facebook.com/SoloRoboto) and Kommissar Props (https://www.facebook.com/KommissarProps) made the sword. Both, to my knowledge, accept commissions.

[–]A_Stoned_Smurf 7 points8 points ago

His helmet is off center, and it annoys me! Nevertheless, it's an awesome costume.

[–]Roboticide 11 points12 points ago

PROFESSOR HEIMDALL! EXPLAIN THE BIFROST!

[–]Schobbo 10 points11 points ago

amazing costume and a really cool character, loved the movie, can't wait for the sequel that is currently in production

[–]anusface 6 points7 points ago

Have they announced the villain for Thor 2?

[–]koolaidface 22 points23 points ago

Yes. It's Christopher Eccleston.

[–]Corsair857 13 points14 points ago

He is indeed in it according to IMDb. It's nice to see so many Doctor Who related actors get screen time. TDKR tickled my fancy with Torchwood ties.

[–]legal_hippie 6 points7 points ago

Are you serious? Eccleston is getting some serious film time?? Must investigate!! You just made my year.

[–]Twinkling82 5 points6 points ago

I checked - IMDB confirms.

[–]Damaband41 4 points5 points ago

Seriously??? You better not be lying, that would be a cruel joke.

[–]koolaidface 5 points6 points ago

I wouldn't lie about him. He is my favorite Doctor.

[–]pj1843 3 points4 points ago

Wait really, Doctor Who is going against Thor, I'm so sorry the Thunder God has no chance, It's almost as bad as him going against Wowbagger, the Infinitely prolonged

[–]ruderabbit 6 points7 points ago

Hopefully it's not shit.

[–]TheGeekyGunslinger 8 points9 points ago

GODDAMMIT GUYS. I TOLD YOU TO SPY CHECK.

[–]FireAndSunshine 8 points9 points ago

WE HAVE FOUR PYROS, HOW THE HELL ARE SPIES GETTING THROUGH!?

[–]mic1 1 point2 points ago

Fucking pyros....

[–]Tonytarium 5 points6 points ago

Im so glad that guy is black, us black folks have a short list of available badass characters to cosplay.

[–]truesly1 3 points4 points ago

not sure if reedit is a small world, or comic-con is, but that sword came down to SDCC in my car. i carpooled with the guy who built it.

[–]SoManySpiderWebs 3 points4 points ago

Why is this in funny?

[–]TheAckIsBack 15 points16 points ago

Your professor is one awesome blerd.

[–]12DancingPrincesses 6 points7 points ago

Oh hey, Thom's on Reddit. I'll have to let him know he's on there.

[–]williamstownburg[S] 5 points6 points ago

Thom? This is a picture of Heimdall!!! :)

[–]12DancingPrincesses 3 points4 points ago

/hat tip.

[–]Tubes_of_Interwebs 3 points4 points ago

the best part of that costume...his Prof. isn't black.

[–]ghostly1001 5 points6 points ago

"walks in class with full armor" Turn to page 422 NOW!!!!!!!!!

[–]snarkhunter 4 points5 points ago

What class does Idris Elba teach? My money is on business. He got an inelastic product in an elastic marketplace.

[–]fuzzycuffs 6 points7 points ago

White supremacists be raging

[–]PJae 1 point2 points ago

I feel like he's watching me.

[–]Gravedigger2 2 points3 points ago

I Spy with my little eye

[–]vadergeek 2 points3 points ago

You should start calling your teacher Stringer Bell, just so he has a nickname that's one part inside joke, two parts pop culture reference.

[–]thescrapplekid 6 points7 points ago

Great pic... also here come the meme's

[–]DariusMDeV 14 points15 points ago

From Wikipedia:

Heimdallr is attested as possessing foreknowledge, keen eyesight and hearing, is described as "the whitest of the gods" , and keeps watch for the onset of Ragnarök while drinking fine mead in his dwelling Himinbjörg, located where the burning rainbow bridge Bifröst meets heaven

[–]Miceli123 81 points82 points ago

The people who described him were all Caucasian, and in that time period, would have scarcely encountered someone who wasn't ; "whitest" was a term describing his character, which was less "stained" by bad acts than the other, more-fallible members of his pantheon.

[–]MosEisleyCantona 12 points13 points ago

Context: how does it work?

[–]Lamar_the_Usurper 47 points48 points ago

"The people who described him were all Caucasian, and in that time period, would have scarcely encountered someone who wasn't "

Imagine that, white people inventing and worshiping white gods.

[–]Freddie_AppsHero 8 points9 points ago

Yeah man, that's racist. White people should have multicultural gods. /s

[–]Comm_Clash[!] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it's not like every culture does that, right?

WHITE PEOPLE LOL XDDDD #YOLO

[–]Shampyon 3 points4 points ago

Wasn't Heimdall also one of the few gods in the Norse pantheon described as being able to shapeshift?

[–]fuzzyshorts 5 points6 points ago

YES MUDDAFUCKA! YESSSS! (i gave you an upvote, so closet racists can go kiss ass!)

[–]mocotazo 5 points6 points ago

"Thor's mythical, right? Thor has a hammer that flies to him when he clicks his fingers. That's OK, but the colour of my skin is wrong?"

~ Idris Elba

[–]Highatollah 10 points11 points ago

He's dressed up as the character from the movie Thor, not the Norse god. durrrrrr

[–]chukmok 3 points4 points ago

This needs to go on /r/pics not /r/funny

[–]Mr_Shagwell 2 points3 points ago

I think what makes it funny is the title, but i do agree with you. Watch out though voicing your opinion in these realms may get you banished or worse..

disappears into the shadows

[–]deathonater 3 points4 points ago

That guy can't be Heimdall. Every self-respecting geek knows Heimdall looks like this.

[–]Kakoose -1 points0 points ago

You're professor is Terry crews?

[–]Mzimo 2 points3 points ago

R-r-rip michael duncan!!!!

I walked past him at the Hilton there, didn't snap a picture though. :(

I only cared for the two guys in the right background. But good job, nonetheless.

I... I want that professor... Why can't I have that professor? D:

[–]Digita1B0y 0 points1 point ago

Professor Badass!

[–]BobLeBuilDerp 1 point2 points ago

Really badass! I'd tie it completely if he had contacts to match, like in the movie.

[–]GoP-Demon 1 point2 points ago

You shall not pass... your exams or something... someone check the movie script.

[–]ladyvainglorious 1 point2 points ago

I didn't realise Idris Elba was a professor.

Thanks to finally seeing Thor last night via Netflix...I actually understand this reference.

Was expecting professor Farnsworth, was disappointed.

[–]Bloqhead 0 points1 point ago

Dude, that is an awesome cosplay!

[–]thePanelist 0 points1 point ago

No way! If I'm not mistaken, that is one Dr. Parham, who was also my professor and theater director back in my undergrad days. That man is a genuine comics nerd who always knew how to rock some cosplay.

[–]Firespray 0 points1 point ago

And here I was thinking my professor was cool because he had a table in artist alley...

[–]gregdoom 0 points1 point ago

[–]OptimusMTPrime 0 points1 point ago

Was this Comic-Con or FanExpoCanada? If the latter, I definitely saw him, and he mentioned to me a ton of people thought he was Odin for some reason... He was probably one of the best dressed the whole show

[–]Going_Braindead 0 points1 point ago

Guys comic con is coming up and I really wanna go as isaac clarke. Anyone know any good websites for costumes? Any help is greatly appreciated

[–]Sanwi -1 points0 points ago

Doing it right as SHIT! Best cosplay character I've seen.

[–]HipHoppin -1 points0 points ago

He looks like Busta Rhymes

[–]myzzzel 0 points1 point ago

That is fucking awesome. He needs to stand at the front door before anyone enters.

I think I've got a boner for your professor, and I'm a big hairy dude.

[–]zarthonia 1 point2 points ago

The bart face on the left was my exact expression. That costume is badass!

[–]astaroth09 -1 points0 points ago

Ahh... One of us made it!

[–]cinemarshall 0 points1 point ago

Is that Dr P?!?! I had him when I was back at Biola! Love that guy!

[–]Omulae 0 points1 point ago

I thought he was Aldebaran, the Taurus gold knight from knights of the zodiac.

[–]VAPossum 0 points1 point ago

Since I can't attend Comic-Con, my favorite part of it is seeing all the costumes every year. This one was my favorite this year! I have a tiny Heimdall sitting on my computer; I love him so. Tell your prof he has a fangirl!

[–]pheonixblade9 0 points1 point ago

I thought this was a Beetleborg costume before I saw it was Heimdall.

...yay 90's

why does the helmet looked photo shopped on?

Once I saw my professor at a pride festival dressed like a leather daddy. this is way cooler.

I've definitely seen that picture before. Like months ago. As in months before this years Comic-Con...

[–]THX1085 0 points1 point ago
