    The difference is that Thor absolutely is portrayed as a complex character with his own agency, or subjectivity.

    So is Black Widow, but she is 100% leathered up sex symbol too and no one questions that.

      Sex symbol =/= objectified. There’s nothing wrong with being a sexy character. Sexual objectification is the reduction of a person or character to nothing but sex. Or, if you want a more accurate definition, you can look at Wikipedia’s definition which I gave somewhere else
