I was wondering where Sif was the whole movie...

But i did enjoy Valkyrie. I think I had some issues (general eyeroll at jaded drinking badass), but i did enjoy her interactions with the other characters.

Filming Blindspot. at least, that's where I'm pretty sure her actress was in rl, icly who the hell knows.

I'm usually over jaded drinking badasses. My dad was watching X-Men 2 today, and all I could think of was how over Wolverine I was a very long time ago. And yet, when it was a woman, it somehow worked for me. Maybe because I personally haven't seen too many female characters like that yet (I'm sure they exist, just not in the fandoms I frequent).

ayrt

in general media, I don't think i encounter it too much, but so many of the fandoms I've been in over the years (even ones I'm no longer active in) had the hard drinking, jaded, female badass (I was all about ocs, and even when not, the Canon supplies apt characters -- PotC, SPN, many things, because being a jaded hard drinking person was "cool, edgy, and meant you were deep/had a troubled past" = automatic match with the MC. Hence the auto eyeroll. Not Valkyerie' s fault, but fandom.

I think it helped with Valkyerie that she wasn't portrayed as anyone's love interest. She had a fun relationship with Hulk/Banner but her storyline wasn't about being broken and then healing and coming to terms with her past in his or Thor's arms or anything.

Same. I feel a lot of character tropes are revitalized when you switch up a core aspect of it, like having the jaded brooding alcoholic be a woman or the damsel in distress be a man.

I think Kevin Feige said Loki banished her out of fear she'd figure out he wasn't Odin. So, Sif's probably on some random planet.

Maybe she'll be in Agents of SHIELD again this season!

If it means she didn't get immediately axed like the Warriors Three and could come back, I'm totally fine with it.

Really?

I mean, I liked all the techno fighting stuff, her with the big psudo-dick / machine gun was very cool (and strangely hot?), but watching her melee was painful to me. She's build so slightly watching her fight with zero weight behind her strikes but still apparently having the high impact really took me out of it.

She was just so physically unimposing, I got the feeling I could have tanked her attacks.

Because Sif's actress had commitments to the TV show she stars in.
