10 Comic Villains Who Were Right All Along

With Hela's life story revolving around the fact that, due to a prophecy, Odin decided to exile her to Hel for eternity, it seems pretty fair of her to still be peeved about it.

Although trying to murder your lightning-wielding uncle and grandfather isn't the ideal way of sorting out family rivalries, the fact that Thor got told he would be King of the world from a young age, whereas Hela got stuffed into the underworld the minute she became an adult, seems like the kind of thing you would hold a grudge over.

Perhaps more importantly, it's shown time and time again that Hela doesn't hate Thor, but more wishes to both prove herself to Odin and to spite the man who ruined her life by taking Thor to the underworld. Despite this, she's repeatedly let him go, charmed by his sense of valour and honour - to the point that she has actually brought him back to life out of sympathy before.

She'd ensure an awkward family Thanksgiving, sure, but even Thor has had his share of fights with Odin, so it's hard to say Hela is evil for doing the same.
