Ian Boothby (Thor: The Dark World)

Ian Boothby was one of the most pointless additions to any movie, as he was nothing more than extremely mild comic relief (which already existed more predominantly in the form of another character, who we’ll get to next) and didn’t offer anything else to proceedings.

Played by Jonathan Howard in Thor: The Dark World, the character was – supposedly – the intern to Darcy Lewis who, in turn, was already Jane Foster’s intern (if that makes sense).

He was there for the final battle with Malekith and the Dark Elves, but he did pretty much nothing and formed a weak, totally unnecessary romantic relationship with the aforementioned Lewis. He was so vacant that it was annoying and his supposedly funny one-liners fell very flat.
