He wants to make amends for what happened between them, he is guilty and heart-sore, but If her experience of Asgard and it’s people have taught her anything, it’s that the true cost of magic, of godliness, is too high. It’s pretty clear he still loves her too, as he desperately begs her to let him use magic to heal her. She is principled, romantic, funny, brave to the point of being without a hint of self-preservation and, well, still in love with Thor a little. Jane telling Thor she will fight her cancer with medicine, the human medicine she has used her whole adult life, is fundamentally the Jane I knew from the movies. If I ever write anything half as good as this, I’ll consider myself an accomplished writer.
‘Seriously?!’ I declared ‘Can men stop fridging female characters like this for manpain?! This is such a cliche by this point! How can you get away with this anymore?!’īut, if you’re going to kill off a female character for the sake of a male character’s ‘growth’, I reflected, this is probably one of the only good ways to do it. So, seeing her finally getting a moment of epic pathos just as it looked like she would be killed off, was both incredibly satisfying and monumentally frustrating. DON’T THINK I’VE FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU YOU PARKER-WATSON HAPPINESS REVERSING PRICK. It’s no exaggeration that, apart from one cameo in Journey into Mystery Vol.1 652 alongside Sif (which is amazing by the way- written by Kathryn Immonen and featuring the return of Motherfucking Beta Ray Bill!), her appearance in Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and her character in the Thor movies (FUCK YOU I STAND BY THAT STATEMENT FIGHT ME), it’s safe to say… her characterisation has sucked. Her character had always been woefully underdeveloped at best, an uncomfortable epitome of how not to write a female side character at worst.
At this point, Jane hadn’t really appeared much.
