But anyway, this is the Jane thread. Anyway. It seems like every time they do try for synergy lately, the movies end up changing things again so the synergy change no longer makes sense, or the comics got it wrong somehow. most notably the stuff with Captain Marvel, where it seemed they tried to guess where the movies were headed, and guessed wrong. And then they had her grow her hair out again to match the movies just to have the movies give her a haircut. So I hope they stop trying, because it's backfired a few times now. But as mentioned, it depends on the editor, and I think Wil Moss doesn't really push for anything more than vague cosmetic movie synergy, and often not even that, judging by all the books he has edited. I just can't see him cutting everything short to make Jane Thor again, especially since such a move would affect more than just her. Their primary goal isn't to make sure her book specifically is selling, I think the main Thor book will always have top priority there, regardless of what is happening in the movies. And I just can't see them having her take over the book again, even if her book doesn't sell well.
