so hela is looking more and more like loki’s mom, esp with that black and green scheme she’s rocking

I doubt very much that they’ll stick to myth and comics canon by making her Loki’s daughter, but I’m ready to be surprised…

“hela as loki’s mother” is a theory that’s been floating around since the teaser dropped months ago. given her general black-and-green color scheme, plus her physical similarities to loki, it really feels like they’re trying to wink-wink at some family connection. whether that’s just a nudge to mythology where she’s his kid, or if they’re going to throw it in that she’s his mom, who knows.

personally, i kind of hope she’s related to him in some way. i really do. there’s A LOT of story telling left dangling from loki’s ‘frost giant’ arc. who was his mother? why was a small jotun born? what happened to the casket? etc etc etc.

plus i just… i really want hela to drop that bomb. “You think that you’re better than me? Boy, I am your mother!”

and loki looks her dead in the eyes and says, “No. My mother was FRIGGA.” and stabs hela.
