I'm a different anon, excuse me for cutting into your convo but chill the fuck out you presumptuous little bitch.

Not sure if srs or if trolling when you say Jane made the movie. lolwat. Thor and everyone in Asgard made the movie. Subtract Jane from the movie and it's still an epic movie. Subtract Thor and who would give a fuck about plain-Jane nerd conquests.

I agree the first anon that Natalie as Jane was the worst thing about Thor. I'm a Natalie Portman fan and I think she's a great actress who was overqualified for someone like Jane... whose character is so plain that Natalie just read the lines and no acting was required. If you think any talent was required to play Jane then your standards must be absurdly low.

The role of Jane is something you'd expect new/unknown actress to play whose just taking whatever opportunity she gets, not a fucking award winning actress.

Or maybe it was the writing. I hate how so many movies feel the need to shoehorn in a love interest despite the blatant lack of chemistry or build-up, just for the sake of having a love interest.

Not to mention Jane as a character is very forgettable. Compared to the other Avenger love interest like Pepper Pots who had built-up as Tony's support-system or Peggy who was pretty badass and had a beautiful accent.

A better love interest for Thor would have been Sif (IIRC she and Thor were lovers at some point in the original comic not to mention they are both immortal) rather than a plain-Jane human who is going to live a very short life compared to his.

I could list more reasons people do not like Jane in Thor, but something tells me your just going to continue to hide behind the 'because you ship slash' excuse. FYI I don't ship Thor with anyone and I like Natalie as an actress, and I still hated Jane in the movie.

Problem?

Her character made no sense and clearly was only included to serve as a love interest. "Hey I'm a scientist, I study stars and-- Oh this totally random guy says he's a god, seems legit."

They even used Selvig in the Avengers instead of her even though they're both scientists as far as I know.

This is the reason I didn't like Jane. I'm not a Natalie fan (though I do think she's good in some films and I don't /hate/ her by any means), but the character of Jane could have been eliminated from the movie and it still would have been awesome and actiony. There was no chemistry between her and Thor (or Natalie Portman and Chris Hemsworth, for that matter), and their interactions were sort of embarrassing to watch because it was all so stilted and dry.

Selvig is awesome, and I'm glad they used him in Avengers. Also, I might have a slight bias because I adore Stellan Skarsgard, but I'm trying to look at the character objectively.

They did that to save the reunion for Thor 2.

da

tl;dr

I think I started zoning out at the "I'm a Natalie Portman fan" part. We get it, you didn't like her or Jane. Some people fucking loved her and think she was awesome.

Deal with it.

Yes, this pretty much summarizes my feelings about Jane. I'm in the Sif camp, too, and while I suppose it's inevitable that it will be Thor/Jane all the way in Thor 2, I at least hope she won't have much screen time.

[luxshine.livejournal.com]

Actually, Jane was the original love interest of the comics, and she's great. While in the 60's she was the typical girl in distress who didn't pay any mind to Don Blake and swooned over Thor, as time passed, she became very interesting, even putting her foot down against Odin a couple of times.
Now Sif is the love interest, but even so, Jane continues to be awesome.
