Acuna: I was excited to hear Jaimie Alexander was going to reprise her role as Sif in "Love and Thunder" after sitting out "Ragnarok" (Alexander told Yahoo! there was a scheduling conflict with her role on "Blindspot").
But her underutilization in "Thor 4" in two brief scenes was extremely disappointing.
When Thor showed up in New Asgard without her (even though we later learned she was there), it was confusing.
My expectation was that Sif would go on this grand mission with Thor, Jane, and Valkyrie to hunt down Gorr on "another classic Thor adventure."
Instead, "Love and Thunder" decided to sideline her by unnecessarily chopping off one of her arms. That would've made some sense if the film was trying to deliver some commentary on disabled superheroes, but it didn't do that.
Maybe there's some other deleted footage showcasing Sif, but I would've loved to see the confrontation between Gorr the God Butcher. Don't simply add more female heroes and characters into a movie if you have nothing interesting for them to do.
Singh: It makes no sense that Sif didn't join Thor and his crew for the main mission. Sure, she got injured in battle, but she's a fierce warrior and probably could have recovered.
Seeing her fight Gorr absolutely would have been a worthy addition to make her return more substantial and meaningful. Let's start the campaign for "Justice for Sif."
