Let’s just cut to the chase, I’m not a Jane Foster fan. To be fair, I don’t read the comics, so my knowledge of the character comes from the MCU. I LOVE Natalie Portman, but I don’t like Jane Foster. Maybe I should mention the Thor films are my least favorite of the MCU as well? It just feels like in the year 2022 (and whatever years the Thor films were made) we shouldn’t have a female character who seems to only exist for her love interest.

In the original Thor, I was indifferent when it came to Jane. In the sequel, I DESPISED her. You mean to tell me this brilliant scientist dropped her research, her career, EVERYTHING… for a man she knew for a week… Girl, bye. Be sad he is gone, I mean, it is Chris Hemsworth, but her just moping about didn’t sit right with my spirit. Anytime I see her, she seems to be there to play the damsel in distress. I’m a Buffy, Elektra, Black Widow kinda guy, so she does nothing for me.

I say all that to say, I’m excited about Mighty Thor coming to Marvel’s Avengers, and her release next week may even get me to see the new Thor film in theaters… maybe. When it was first confirmed that it was Jane Foster coming to the game… and not my beloved Yelena, or even Shuri, I wasn’t pleased, for the previously mentioned reasons. Also, I wasn’t a fan of playing as Thor in the game, so I didn’t expect to enjoy playing as his female counterpart. But, seeing the trailer and seeing the concept art for her character has me excited to play as her. That being said, if they are going to continue to make echo characters (and I don’t have a problem with that at all, the more characters I can play, the better) I’m going to need my girl Yelena brought to the game.

And with She Hulk rumored to be coming in August, I feel these two women are about to bring a much-needed breath of fresh air to the game.

What are your thoughts on Jane Foster? Do you still play Marvel’s Avengers (if you ever did)? I’m curious to know.
