12 MCU Characters Who Almost Looked WAY Cooler

9. Valkyrie

As far as MCU entrances go, there have been some simply incredible scenes over the years. Star Lord dancing across Morag, Black Panther’s attack on Bucky in Civil War, and of course Thanos’ destruction of the Asgardian ship come to mind. Another character who had a simply awesome welcoming to the franchise was Valkyrie.

After Thor crash landed on Sakaar, Valkyrie came to collect him and deliver him to the Grandmaster. Not only did she immediately demonstrate what a bad ass she was, she showed off her comedic chops as well. As good as it was, it was almost even better.

The future member of the Revengers was almost given a mask for when we first met her, almost reminiscent of Rey’s introduction in The Force Awakens, with the addition of two kick ass mace gauntlets. Though the weapon she was ultimately given to defeat her competition for Thor was incredible, it wasn’t quite fighting off a hoard of scavengers with maces for fists, was it?
