I really hate raining on people’s fun so just ignore me but I really don’t like how people have made Thor this massive feminist based on that one scene in ragnarok because to me it was so painfully obvious that Thor was just saying the things he thought Valkyrie would want to hear/backtracking from having blurted out “until I found out you were all women” and, like, Valkyrie rolled her eyes for a reason because men being apathetic to feminist issues until they’re trying to persuade a woman/charm a woman is such a cliché and so is overcorrecting for a perceived sexist slight like??? I’m just so angry that Thor is the face for feminism when marvel continues to create and discard female characters as fast as they can make them and?? We’re not saying anything about it?? What the fuck happened to Jane foster? She was a goddamn genius and this same fandom CELEBRATED when they kicked her from the narrative and called that “feminist” god
It is the exact opposite of feminist to celebrate when a female character is ejected from a story. The Marvel fandom celebrated for one reason: it hates women, full stop.
“it made sure we wouldn’t have a forced heterosexual romance!” like… bitch. If the only way you can rationalize not having sexist tropes in a het romance is to…straight up get rid of the women then y’all ain’t feminist and it’s exhausting
jane foster and thor were the least forced romance but sure, let’s celebrate when marvel is shit to their actresses as well as their characters
