fostertheory:ussromanov:[for ideophobic]In which Thor’s heart breaks just a little bit (last panel). Contrast it with the 7th panel, in which his thoughts seem mostly territorial (not that he would act that way; he is consistently very respectful of Jane).  I think his certainty that fate brought Jane and him together, combined with his self-awareness that surrender is not in his nature gave him confidence that everything would work out somehow, if only he were to stay the course.  That confidence is shaken here; did he take too long after all to return to Earth?The difference between panels 7 and 10 are Jane’s remarks, specifically, her promise to have dinner with Richard again.  Jane is not listening to herself (nor, really, to Richard).  She is absorbed in the technical aspects of the situation—how is she getting a signal?  What does that imply?  And she is not thinking about how what she is saying will affect either Thor or Richard.  (Misleading Richard now only increases the hurt later.)  And while it’s a funny moment, Jane’s incredulous, “Really?” a few moments later in the car does not do anything to put Thor’s mind at rest.It’s consistent for her character, to get completely absorbed by the science at the expense of interpersonal skills.  Good for the writers for putting it in, a shortcoming of Jane’s character.  Even better, that focus is necessary to get them the heck off Svartalfheim and back on Earth where they need to be in order to save the day.  See all the discussions about how female characters should be human, flaws and all.(And props to Hemsworth, for conveying in a few facial expressions what has taken me three paragraphs to put into words.  This moment reinforces my admiration of his acting ability.) -- source link
