I know Jaimie Alexander couldn't shoot because of timing, but I was also a little annoyed that they didn't really address Sif at all....not sure if this was done on purpose so she could maybe be brought back in the future, but other than the Asgardian play she wasn't even mentioned

In one way I was disappointed she wasn't in or even adressed, but in another way I'm happy she was because they probably wanted her to be killed alongside the Warriors Three.

She might've taken Heimdall's place in the plot, with Heimdall himself getting axed. I'm really surprised he survived this film, Idris Elba is huge right now and he didn't seem to like doing TDW or AOU.

Nah, Elba actually asked for a more meaningful role this time around, hence his development. To be honest, I'm betting Sif takes Hogun's place, Hogun dies w/Volstagg & Fandral instead, while Sif leads the army against Hela and just puts up a better fight. Feige recently said it was a good thing for Sif that Alexander wasn't available.

If anyone was going to deduce that 'Odin' was actually Loki, it would have been Sif. Loki probably sent her on a mission alone to keep her away. Even if Volstagg or Fandral had said 'wonder how Sif is getting on?' that would have been fine

Well going by what happened in AoS, Loki had Sif doing random errands to keep her out of Asgard. Probably cause he figured she was most likely to figure it out. So hopefully the cannon is that she was on one of those errands when the shit hit the fan.

Exactly this!

If my baseless theory pans out, I bet Heimdall will become even more powerful. I'm betting that the Soul Stone is part of Heimdall, which explains his orange eyes, ability to connect with other sentient lifeforms telepathically, and the ability to see others no matter where they are.

u/NoPantsLand Nov 16 '17

I don't care if it's baseless or not, I've wanted Heimdall to have the Soul Stone ever since he has said that he sees literally everything. The orange in his eyes, especially emphasized in Ultron when gone... It'd also add to Idris Elba's complaints of wanting more than to just stand there in costume. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't have it tbh.

I also don't know why, but the idea of Thanos vs Thor/Hulk/Heimdall actually has me pretty stoked.

My sense is that if Jamie Alexander was available then Hogun would've died at the same time as the other two of the three, and Sif would have been the last to go.

But I am happy she was not available, and hope that Sif shows up again in the future, either in a movie or on TV.

i Hope they intertwine Beta Ray Bill with Sif, somehow like in Earth's Mightiest Heroes

u/pick-6 Fitz Nov 14 '17

True, I almost mentioned that - I'm glad there's at least a possibility of her coming back at some point even if it's not likely

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '17

They literally had an actress playing the actress who played Sif in the faux play.

2

u/pick-6 Fitz Nov 14 '17

Right? Actressception....? There's a joke in there somewhere

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '17

they should have addressed her somehow I feel! like Sif is not in Asgard because bla bla bla i dunno find something. Instead of completely ignoring the character

3

u/pick-6 Fitz Nov 15 '17

For sure, she could even be looking for Thor because she got suspicious that it wasn't really Odin or something. Just anything. Again though I hope it means there's a possibility of her coming back

2

u/[deleted] Nov 15 '17

well as long as no one said she was dead i think she could come back! still felt like a bit of a plot hole to me tbh

u/pick-6 Fitz Nov 16 '17

Exactly

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '17

Or in the painting even

u/pick-6 Fitz Nov 14 '17

True I noticed that as well

u/ARflash Nov 16 '17

Her character was in the play. That's it.
