When this ranking was created for the first time in May 2022, I reserved the right to move Jane (Natalie Portman) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) when "Thor: Love and Thunder" was released. And I'm glad, because they've moved up toward the top of this list.
In the first two Thor movies, this relationship isn't that special. They're two very good-looking people who like each other because that's what the movie dictates. But in "Thor: Ragnarok," Thor gets to break out as a goofy weirdo on his own, and "Love and Thunder" uses flashbacks to retcon their relationship into something more interesting. Now they're both goofy weirdos with very demanding jobs who love spending time together. It works! When the movie came to its lovely end, I had tears in my eyes because of these two.
