10 MCU Loose Ends That Drive Fans Crazy

9. Where Did Valkyrie Get Her Pegasus From?

The final battle in Avengers: Endgame contains a couple of small mistakes that are difficult to unsee once you spot them (like Cap's magic shield repair), and while this isn't a mistake per say, it's a detail that many fans nonetheless question.

When the Asgardians emerge from one of Doctor Strange's portals at the start of the battle, we're shown that Valkyrie is riding a majestic Pegasus, which she then uses for the duration of the sequence. This was insanely cool to see, mind you, but it did leave many fans wondering... where did she get that Pegasus from?

She didn't have it during Thor: Ragnarok, and considering that Asgard was destroyed at the end of that movie - along with a good chunk of the population - she can't just stop by the Pegasus shop and pick up a new one. Perhaps she acquired it during Endgame's five-year time jump, but when we first visit New Asgard after this time jump, there are no Pegasuses (Pegasi?) in sight. And that still wouldn't answer the question of where she got it from.

One possible explanation is that the remaining Asgardians knew how to breed these creatures, but considering that a firm explanation was never provided onscreen, all fans can do is speculate.
