Minute Seventy-Four: From A Fireside Connection to Some SHIELD Frustration
Joining us to discuss the RomCom Tropes-filled relationship between Jane and Thor, Jane’s journal, and her anger at SHIELD is Bubbawheat from the Flights, Tights and Movie Nights podcast.
In the seventy-fourth minute of Kenneth Branagh’s 2011 film Thor…
- Wow, is this minute overloaded with RomCom tropes! Matthew runs through a list of many of them. They make for great conversation topics for sure.
- Interesting that Jane says, “I’m really glad that you’re safe,” instead of, “I’m really glad that you’re okay.” There’s an interesting irony there, particularly knowing what Loki’s plotting for Thor.
- Thor seems to have working on looking internally here.
- One of the tropes? That special something she’s been looking for that he’s found and gets for her.
- We all love Jane’s 4-color BIC pen so much.
- The firelight… so romantic…
- The only trope we’re missing is the ‘I feel like I’ve known you forever’ trope.
- Again… Patrick Doyle’s score… so good…
- We talk about how Thor really has so much empathy now. It’s great to see.
- Jane’s struggling about something that has nothing to do with him, and he’s interested. Another trope.
Jane’s afraid SHIELD won’t let her research see the light of day.
- Is it that they’ll hide it? Or use it for their own evil purposes?
- This does feel like that element of SHIELD that’s run by Hydra agents.
- We debate any potential storyline with Jane’s father and Erik and connections to SHIELD they may have had in their past.
We’ve got more romance, a special gift, and some anger at the government to talk about with Bubbawheat today. Tune in!
