Again, Marvel has taken our previously empowered women on posters and turned them into arm candy for our male characters.
Licensed Withdrawal
- All characters are shown looking towards a target, yet Jane is looking specifically over her shoulder beyond the camera, so that the poster viewer has a particularly clear look at her face
Ritualization of Subordination/Feminine Touch
- Jane, like Pepper in Iron Man 3, is now only shown as the love interest for the main character. She is shown with a scared look on her face rather than determination, and is clinging to the male character for protection. Another damsel in distress shown on a movie poster, Jane has lost any power she previously had in the original Thor poster, and is looking to the male characters for help.
Function Ranking/Relative Size
- There is one female shown on the poster in the background, Sif, who is dressed similar to the men. She is shown in fighting clothes, but is very hidden in the background. She is not the main focus of the poster, and is shown much smaller than Jane and the other men on the poster.
