Pointless Because: As appealing as Kat Dennings might otherwise be, she's woefully irritating as the ditzy comedy nerd sidekick Darcy Lewis, having appeared in both Thor films to date with a glass-shatteringly shrieky voice and geeky personality that is nothing if not blatant fanboy pandering. The problem isn't just that she spends most her time cluelessly running around like a headless chicken, but that she's clearly cynical bait for the hormonal teenage boys who watch these films. And we can't forget about "mieu mieu" either. How To Fix It: Actually give her a brain and actively involve her in the story, or better yet, given that she's an original creation for the films and not a comic book character, get rid of her altogether. The Thor films have plenty of comic relief as it is.
