I just recently saw the Thor movies ...Bravo, bravo! I just recently saw the Thor movies and I've become a huge fan of both Thor and Jane. I liked how you described her as "the girl next door." Out of all the Marvel heroines I can relate to her the most: I love learning and will spend exorbitant amounts of time researching things I'm passionate about and/or interested in--but I'm also on the nervous, chatter-bug side around strangers, I've got a "sensible big sister" complex (see Jane's interactions with Darcy), and...well, I'm also very petite and I so I can't help thinking "Whoo-hoo, a Marvel heroine who barely clears 5 feet!" ;)<br /><br />Seriously, though, I admire Jane Foster's dedication to her work and her kindness to Thor, which had a profound impact on him. And I love their romance. He's so chivalrous and gentle with her, and she in turn believes in and encourages him. Also: when I first saw "Thor: The Dark World," the final end-of-credits scene had a positive impact on me. I'd just ended a relationship with a guy, a guy who was very nice but for whom I had NO feelings beyond simple friendship. But as I watched poor Jane sitting sad and alone in her kitchen, and then saw that look of sheer joy cross her face when she heard THUNDER--the first thing that crossed my mind was, "I don't care how long I have to wait--it'll be worth waiting for a guy who can make me smile like that." <br /><br />So, Jane and Thor reinforced, for me, the value of spending the rest of your life with someone you're absolutely crazy about :DMaribeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/10952333233871800308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282474700246821402.post-38528592779203285102014-04-10T03:06:11.551-04:002014-04-10T03:06:11.551-04:00Or perhaps you were right, those people who seemed...Or perhaps you were right, those people who seemed to hate Jane Foster very much were just jealous, perhaps they were dying to have a role with the hot god of thunder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282474700246821402.post-14994868342424563672014-04-10T03:01:01.082-04:002014-04-10T03:01:01.082-04:00I am not a big fan of Natalie Portman either, but ...I am not a big fan of Natalie Portman either, but I admire her brain and beauty.

Really? You might as well accuse Steve Rogers of the same thing.

I am expecting kind of a "love triangle" since Lady Sif is playing a larger role in the new movie and it was like that in the comics.<br /><br />-JamesJames the Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165238905288033483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282474700246821402.post-1109128645567642822013-08-07T19:49:27.955-04:002013-08-07T19:49:27.955-04:00I completely concur!!! =D This was a great, well-t...I completely concur!!! =D This was a great, well-thought out post & very true! <br />Now I'm even more anxious for Thor 2 to come out!!!
