van-dyne:

the fact that people only see Jane’s (potential) return will ‘ruin’ Thor’s character is hilarious and offending at the same time. Girl is an astrophysicist, girl is an expert in quantum physics and space, girl had been a host for an infinity stone and survived. She has knowledge and experience to bring to the table, she is HER OWN CHARACTER and she is NOT defined by Thor or anyone. You all fake feminists praising Thor for being a feminist, for supporting women, and then you turn around and reduce Jane Foster, the world’s foremost astronomer,  to Thor’s ex who will ruin his character. I see you there.

I’m also not sure where all this “Thor is a feminist” stuff came from other than that really weird rambly bit in Ragnarok, which did not strike me as remotely genuine. Like, it’s cool if you all headcanon that he’s a big feminist, and since I like him as a character pre-Ragnarok I’d like to think he is (except for that attempt to take credit for Sif’s success when she was introduced in Thor 1), but I regard that trope the same way I do the thing about Thor being obsessed with Pop-Tarts: a throwaway bit of canon that fanon blew out of proportion.
