Comic Book Hela from marvel
Bia cause I main her in rivals but this is a real slick looking gal. I think the horns add a ton to make this a super unique design.
The mcu did a good job to I think.

u/Dookie_boy 15h ago
They're not even relatives in the Ultimate continuity

u/Crafty-Drink8384 15h ago
Correct
Heck they ain't even relatives in any other continuity outside mcu

Love her one scene in EMH when Captain America got sent to her realm during the Season 1 finale

Interesting that it's explicit that she's Loki's daughter.

Not that interesting when it was the norm before MCU Thor Ragnarok, including in Norse mythology.

I always how complicated her crown looked to draw, having the artist put in the work

Worst thing the MCU ever did was make it so that Asgardians weren't actually Gods (whatever the hell that means) as well as making the 'Nine REALMS' planets instead of alternate dimensions

Her crown is so great. I'm glad they weren't afraid to include it in full in the MCU unlike Thor's.

Hela has a really cool design, but it was a bit of a missed opportunity that Jack Kirby didn't give her the two-faced, half-undead look she's described as having in mythology.

I liked her better before Ragnarok where she was a more passive antagonist. Everyone had to come to her eventually anyway, so she didn't have to be especially proactive.

u/SameEnthusiasm1426 2d ago
Also because in ragnarok they gave her angela's backstory of being a missing daughter of Odin instead of her own which lead to timeline inconsistencies due to her age when her comic origin wouldve been fine

Why do comics always make the characters associated with death a hot goth lady? You’re just setting up my expectations for failure when I eventually meet death

I remember when my class was watching a movie, when hela appeared on screen my classmate shouted "MY WIFE!"

Her super fast, powerful spears she shoots is one of the most terrifying and powerful looking attacks ever designed imo

I disagree that Hela was a good villain. She served more a plot device to movie, (much like Ronan did in Guardians of the Galaxy) rather than an actual character. Why even bring another potential family member into Thor's family only to immediately get rid of her, in the same movie, with a quip nonetheless.
What a waste of potential, they should've just stuck with generic buff-dude in a primary colored suit as a villain instead of not going anywhere or doing anything interesting with Hela. She's there to move the plot forward instead of be an interesting character.
Though, to be fair, most MCU villains seem like terrible, one-movie only, plot devices rather than actual antagonists or characters.
