>>8710294>no explanation why Sif is any different from LukeOh, you're right. Sorry I assumed something about you.
Okay. Sif is a side character who is accompanied by The Warriors Three during almost every time she is on screen. The most notable exception that comes to mind is when she, Fandor, and Volstagg get killed by Hela, Hogun survived for a little longer before she kills him as well. She and the Warriors Three are easter eggs for fans of the comics, but never really amount to more than Sif getting cucked by Jane Foster, and The Warriors Three being there for comedic effect.
They're sidekicks, at most, but whether during the trip to Jotunheim that Thor convinces them to take, where they are overwhelmed, or the trip to Earth to try to bring Thor back, that they aren't able to do until after Thor gets his powers back, or even in The Dark World where they are left behind in Asgard to "hold the line," no part of the plots they are featured in are altered by the actions or choices of Sif or The Warriors Three. In terms of the progressing the plots they are featured in, they could be absent, and nothing would interrupt Thor from having done everything he does that moves his movies forward. A cameo by Sif doesn't matter, because Sif, and where she goes, and who she interacts with doesn't matter.
Take Luke Skywalker out of the Original Trilogy and please try to argue that the events depicted within them happen the same way without him, and that's not even touching on the behind the scenes fact that he is the hero called to action that the movies are built around, and that even without being titled Luke Skywalker and The Star Wars, he and his father are the central character of their respective franchises.
>my loosely established loreI don't need to subjectively define canon. Without the movies there is no MCU. They are foundational to the universe. Only one series is connected at three points to that foundation. That says more than I need to.
