In Thor: Ragnarok, Do You Believe Jane Foster Broke Up with Thor?

I don't think it surprised anyone when it was revealed in Thor: Ragnarok that Dr. Jane Foster and Thor were no longer together. Those two had absolutely zero romantic chemistry and their relationship ending was the best thing that could have happened to them.

As much as I like the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Thor and Jane Foster, I was not disappointed that they were over. There was no way that lackluster romance could have progressed and having them break up was a good way to give both characters a fresh start.

Prior to Thor: Ragnarok being released, it was announced that Jane wasn't going to appear in the movie and after watching it, I couldn't imagine any where her character could have been featured in it anyway. Her chapter in Thor's life had ended and I was okay with that because I see this version of Jane continuing to focus on her work as an astrophysicist where she was probably starting to find herself too busy to focus on her relationship with Thor. While Thor was most likely preoccupied with trying to stop the visions he was having about Ragnarok destroying Asgard leaving little time to focus on their relationship.

This was a couple most likely heading in two different directions instead of growing together. Which is why I do believe Jane would have broken up with him because as an analytical person, I believe she came to the decision that it was better for their relationship to end instead of it being dragged out. She knew that it was not working for either of them and made the decision to end it.

What do you think, would Jane have broken up with Thor in Thor: Ragnarok?

Book Girl Thought: Thor and Jane Foster Have No Chemistry (Movie Verse)

I'm sitting here watching Thor on FX (yeah, I know I have the DVD and have seen this movie numerous times) but I can't get over the lack of romantic chemistry between Thor and Jane Foster. There is absolutely no romance or passion there.

I know I already wrote about this, but it's hard not to look at this movie and the sequel and not see the lack of chemistry between them. I'm a fan of Jane Foster and I love that they made her a scientist, that was a great move. Too bad the creative team tried to force a romance that didn't work, these two worked better as friends. They seriously had great friendship chemistry but sadly that's it.

What do you think? Should Jane and Thor have been friends only? Or was their relationship/romance perfectly shown in the movies?

Was Jane Foster the wrong love interest for the Thor movies?

Thor has been known to have romanced many ladies in the comics including Jane Foster and Lady Sif so it stands to reason why Jane was chosen over so many others. Especially when they had the perfect choice already being Lady Sif.

The biggest problem I have with Jane being the love interest was there was no romantic chemistry between her and Thor. I wonder how different the first movie would have been had Thor and Jane parted as friends. As wonderful as I think movie-verse Jane Foster is, she was more buddy than love interest. Even though I think Natalie Portman and Chris Hemsworth are good actors even they couldn’t muster up any chemistry between their two characters. They had a great friendship vibe going on but no romance.

However, it’s a different story between Sif and Thor because although their scenes were sparse you can see the emotions between them although with the romance aspect appearing slightly one-sided with Sif wearing her heart on her armored sleeve for Thor. For some reason the chemistry (albeit friendship only although a potential for romance) seems to be easier between Hemsworth and Jaimie Alexander whereas with Portman the romance seemed forced.

I think it would have been so awesome had someone on the set of the first movie pointed out the lack of chemistry between Thor and Jane and decided to just make them friends because it would have saved Jane from turning into a partial plot device in the second movie. Thor’s love interest should have then been changed to Lady Sif.

Hands down Jane and Sif are both awesome. I love that Jane is smart, capable and unapologetically in love with science. And that Sif is every bit the Asgardian warrior that she is said to be as well as being smart, tough, fierce and loyal.   

The first two movies make it so obvious that Jane and Thor were a poor match and every time I see that scene in the second movie where Sif ask Thor to take a drink with her and he refuses it makes no sense. Other than friendship it’s hard to see that Jane made that much of an impact on Thor that it would cause him to mope around for two years. 

It's been rumored (which you can take with a grain of salt) that Thor and Jane will be broken up in the third movie. Even if that rumor turns out to be true that doesn't mean that Lady Sif will become Thor's new love interest. Because if those in charge at Marvel Studios have their hearts set on Thor and Jane being together, that means that no matter what, it's going to happen. And despite Sif having all this amazing chemistry with Thor most likely nothing will happen between the two of them. And if it did, Sif would probably be a rebound until Thor ends back up with Jane, and Sif is far too awesome a character for that to happen.
