What's There

Jane Foster gives the depowered Thor a borrowed flannel shirt bearing a medical nametag for Dr. Donald Blake, referencing Thor's original comic book alter ego.

Why It Matters

Donald Blake is Thor's classic human identity in Marvel Comics, so the name tag keeps the comic alter ego in the film without making it the movie's main premise. This placement serves as deliberate narrative texture and cinematic continuity, rewarding attentive viewers while documenting recurring visual motifs across the filmmakers' catalog.
