9 Marvel Cinematic Universe moments that could be used for ‘What If…?’

7. What if Hela and Thor teamed up?

Thor has had his share of ups and downs since he debuted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some would go as far as to say no one has gone through more than he has. Among his many tragic moments was meeting his older sister Hela. She was a secret Odin kept from him for years and, once Odin died, she couldn’t be contained. When Thor first met her, Hela destroyed his hammer and his confidence. It took losing an eye and some soul-searching for Thor to get back to the way he was. Hela was defeated, but it took the destruction of Asgard to do it.

Thor didn’t always have a great relationship with Odin. Thor may have mourned his father’s death, but there’s no way he wasn’t a bit upset. Odin kept his sister locked away and lied to him for centuries. There may be a reality out there where Thor greets his long-lost sister with open arms — a world where he understands her desire to take over the Nine Realms. Together, there may be no one who can stop them, not even Thanos and the Black Order. They would have to come to Asgard where Hela is all-powerful. With no distractions, Hela, Thor, and their army would have made short work of Thanos and his crew.
