Jane is the worst of all of them tbh. I thought she was bland in the first movie, but the second movie essentially destroyed any bit of personality she had that didn't revolve around Thor. (And sometimes she did sciency things. Mostly she made offhand comments or fainted.) The Thor films are my favorite of the MCU but wow, Marvel. Did you even try with Jane? She's apparently a decent character in the comics. The fuck happened.

Also, am I the only one concerned she's going to die in the third film for (more, can't forget Frigga) Thor angst? They brought up her mortality so many friggin times.

It was a terrible role for Natalie Portman, I agree. I kept wishing they'd give her character something interesting to do, but nope.

Doesn't help that Natalie Portman tried to get out of her contract prior to Thor 2

Got any links?

That doesn't say she tried to get out of her contract? It just says she was unhappy they let the director go.

Who can blame her. She built her career on serious roles, Jane is a role that could be played by a Victoria's Secret model who doesn't speak English.

I always laugh when people try to act like she hasn't done shitty/non-serious movies before. She was in the Star Wars prequels, No Strings Attached, and Your Highness for crying out loud. She isn't above Thor and if she thought it was so stupid to start with, maybe she shouldn't have starred in the first one and signed up for more.

Same goes for Hopkins and his obvious hatred for playing Odin.

Honestly, I'm kinda glad Natalie Portman dropped ship and won't be coming back, because now we can hopefully get a Thor movie where Thor goes on an adventure into the nine realms or something without the Scooby Gang tagging along.

Where are you getting that she isn't coming back? I hadn't heard that.

I completely disagree with you. I thought Jane was awesome in both movies.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-09 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you like cardboard characters that do nothing but stand around looking pretty for half the film, which is essentially what Jane did in the second movie.

Jane could've been a good character, but she wasn't. They did a shitty job developing her character, and the forced unbelievable romance and the fact they made it clear she lost all independence in the second film because Thor the Hunk left made it all worse.

All the human characters suck in the Thor films, and Jane is done the least justice because she suffers from Bland Love Interest Syndrome. There's no denying her characterization in the second film was bullshit. Giving up science because the dude she knew a week left and isn't over it two years later? Fuck off, Marvel. She did nothing in the sequel film except some science bullshit at the end. (And, literally, her only motivation to investigate the building in the beginning of the film was 100% Thor related.)

It's almost like people have differing opinions or something.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-09 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
I really liked Jane in the first movie but kind of agree with you about the second. I actually liked the little beginning romance in the first movie, but not Jane losing interest in everything because Thor left, and still moping two years later. She deserved better.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-09 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. Thor 2 was honestly a mess in regards to both her and Thor imo. They were easily the blandest things in the movie and completely devoid of any of the charm they had in the first one.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-10 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good point: Thor wasn't done any favours by the writers of Thor 2, either.

Sorry for the late reply; had to hit the hay last night.

I think this is going to boil down to irreconcilable differences, but fundamentally disagree with what you're saying here.

I made a post a while back addressing some of the stuff you bring up if you're interested:
