Glad to hear we'll see Sif. Have they said anything about the Warrirors Three?

We see Hogan leading the Asgardian Army when Hela first shows up, but not word on the other two.

I wonder why Marvel Comics had decided to portray the figure of death - Hela - as a villainess.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Ask the Norse men.

I wonder why Marvel Comics had decided to portray the figure of death - Hela - as a villainess.

Because in Norse mythology she is pretty much a villain? The daughter of Loki who, from what I can read online online, has her army go with Loki during Ragnarok, helping attack and kill the norse gods. For the bit she seems to appear in what remains of norse myths, she wasn't really a good guy. So, for the little that the original Marvel Comics cared about the actual norse myths, making Hel (or Hela) a villain made sense.

Plus, very few versions of Death are good guys. At best, they're usually neutral. Death from Sandman was one of the closest to being "good", but even then she did her job without making exceptions to who she had to take.

I see. This is about fear of Death. And therefore, Death is portrayed as a villain or villainess.

Hela is the goddess of death in actual Norse mythology. They're playing her essentially 1:1 from the Edda's and Epic's of the age.

The only thing is what is her connection to Lady Death, the Eternal and one of the 4 forgers of the Infinity Stones in the Marvel canon.

And more importantly...is Squirrel Girl really Ratatoskr?

Not really.

 

[Reverend]

Yeah I'm not sure why anyone would need an explanation as to why a death god could be considered villainous...I mean it's obvious, no? Next to such a one, a god of war is just a middle-management functionary.

The Doctor is in the house...

Ah, looks like the Dr. Strange scenes do indeed take place at or near the beginning as speculated.

 

[Reverend]

Well, the haircuts were a bit of a giveaway...

 

[Anwar]

Makes me wonder when that scene of Thor being in chains is supposed to take place, since he has the hair there too.

It might be the opening scene of the movie, he's off on some adventure where's he enchained and then when he escapes the movie starts.

Yea probably a James Bond type opening where we start with him at the end of a current adventure then moves on to the main story.

They're not gods, they're aliens.

Aliens. Small 'g' gods. Potato/tomato.
