Thor 2: The Dark World

[sincere]

If you're averse to learning the most generic information about Thor 2, you should skip this post. No actual events are spoiled in it, however.

You played the character Sif in the first Thor movie and you’re back for the second. Will we get to see you expand your role a bit?

In the new film, a lot of it takes place in Asgard. You pretty much get to experience Asgard for almost the entire film. You get to know the people of Asgard and what our realm is like, which is really neat. And we get to explore the Thor-Sif relationship more than we did in the first film, which is great for me. And there’s a lot of superhero ass-kicking fun. I do feel that this film has a darker element than the first film. The introduction of all these characters in the first one could get a little hokey at times; this one feels a little bit more serious. You learn how much more Sif is willing to sacrifice for his happiness. That’s a huge element for my character. You get to see what kind of woman/goddess she really is. It’s a powerful character to play and I think she’s really well written in this film. - Jaimie Alexander, on Thor: The Dark World

So let's just break down the elements of this response that make me scream and flail.

"In the new film, a lot of it takes place in Asgard. You pretty much get to experience Asgard for almost the entire film. You get to know the people of Asgard and what our realm is like, which is really neat."

eeeeee more Asgard more fantasy more worldbuilding

"And we get to explore the Thor-Sif relationship more than we did in the first film, which is great for me."

ahhhhh my ship my backstory my relationship angst

"You learn how much more Sif is willing to sacrifice for his happiness. That’s a huge element for my character. You get to see what kind of woman/goddess she really is."

...AHHHHH SCREAMING

SACRIFICE. HEARTACHE. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. LOVE TRIANGLE? EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURTS.

I feel like I was going to post other things, but I'll post this instead, because my screaming and flailing has cast everything else out of my brain except feelings. I've been hijacked by feelings.

Also the moment I read "love triangle", I was all, "oh, between Thor and Sif and Loki." APPARENTLY JANE IS A THING THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN JESLAND.
