I also don't really blame people unless they're being REALLY dramatic and unreasonable about it. You're changing a character the audience has grown to love. It would be like that with any product when you suddenly change a huge part of it. It's nothing to do with "ewww I don't want women in mah superhero movies". If that was the case people would have had a problem with Valkyrie. It just feels agenda driven. That being said, I'll reiterate: there IS precedence in the comics for Jane Foster Thor so it does feel organic enough for me. Other fans may not be aware and understandably think Marvel is making Thor a woman just for the sake of it. Moreover, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was supposed to be donezo with Natalie Portman. Why bring her back over Sif & Valkyrie to take over for Thor especially when they haven't even gotten to his other known horsefaced suceessor.

Except for the eye popping visuals, it was pretty much a conventional Sci Fi adventure. Not bad, but not great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portman didn't really seem to like playing Jane Foster and it showed, so it's hard for me to be all happiness and rainbows about her taking over Mighty Thor. The silver lining is that she'll probably not phone it in now that she has a juicier role. I think she had become unhappy with the role because of a directorial change? Can't remember. To anyone with two brain cells to rub together, it was clear enough that her character could become Mighty Thor eventually, but she sure didn't seem to act like she'd be returning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not crazy about Natalie's return but I did like her in the role and Jane as Thor does resonate a hell of lot more than those other women as Thor, not only because of comic history but because of the established relationship between Jane and Thor. I wanted to like Val more but I wasn't all that impressed with the writing or Tessa's performance. Sif had potential but she hasn't been onscreen enough for me to care.

Patty Jenkins was lined up to direct Thor 2, didn't think the script was very good and wanted to do a different take, Marvel wouldn't budge so she walked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Jenkins was dead right;the Thor 2 script was not very good. Frankly, I don't blame Portman for not being happy with the way Foster was written in the first two Thor films. I think she was hoping the writing would be improved for Thor 2 and it was not. I don't get the fanboy hatred for her for not wanting to come back in a role that had been weakly written. I think she likes the ideas for Thor 4 and that is why she is returning. But then a lot of fanboys are pretty narrow in their views anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrestrial Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 6 hours ago, WhiteWings said: .... is that she'll probably not phone it in now ... Different reasons for her phoning in her role then, one was her seemingly not liking at least her co-actor too. The script had to be rewritten rather fast / late too, per her pregnancy. If the articles then had it right she did not help the situation by informing late about her pregnancy also In the end I blame her for to big part for what went wrong with Thor 2 (but not 100%), hence why I am not happy about her return. Maybe she will convince me in the future as Jane, but till now (both Thor movies) nope, not convinced by her performance in this role (she was good in other roles) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin would allow Patty’s suggestions and thus kept Natalie contented/happy a massive rewrite of the screenplay bcs her pregnancy is IMHO a big reason, especially bcs it was rather short timed, plus.... I do not care about a project going worse for an actress not 'being held happy', that's not professional behaviour. Perlmutter (and Arad) I like neither, both hindered way more for different reasons the earlier MCU titles, than 'help' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
