With the return of Marvel's What If series many have made mention of how random a lot of the
ideas are what if nebula joined the Nova Corps what if Captain Carter fought the Hydra Stomper
what if Happy Hogan saved Christmas yeah not very interesting Concepts especially when you compare
them to their comic book counterparts they'd go more along the lines of what if Thanos came
to Earth to start collecting the stones in the first Avengers film what if M'Baku won
the challenge against T'challa and claimed the mantle of Black Panther or hey what if Valkyrie
faced the consequences of her actions I've said it before and I'll say it again Valkyrie is an
underutilized character with great potential for exploration so walk with me while we wishfully
wrestle with the wavering interest in this MCU character and ponder the question what if
[Music] Jayniac with everything we know about Valkyrie the easiest way to explore her character
would be by having her past catch up with her both in relation to her dying comrades and her
horrible actions on Sakaar how you might ask well since Agents of Shield and more recently
She-Hulk have given us a few examples of rogue Asgardians running around causing havoc on Earth
as the king of New Asgard Valkyrie could be held accountable for it after hearing accusations of
her being a negligent King and conspiracies of her encouraging an Asgardian uprising Valkyrie
tells the public that she will single-handedly stop all the Rogue Asgardians in an attempt to
restore her positive image while also getting herself back on the battlefield she gears up in
her classic Valkyrie armor grabs Zeus' Thunderbolt and as she charges it to travel the camera zooms
in and boom theme song keeping with the Hard Rock and Metal themes of the recent Thor films
I think Valkyrie could use something similar but a bit different for her theme song I'm thinking
Layla by Derek and the Dominoes if you have a better idea let me know in the comments anyway
the theme song's visuals should be a montage of images of her stopping different Asgardians from
different parts of the world in the same art style as Odin's Throne showing the audience
that she's been at it for a while we cut back to the show and Val's just returning to New Asgard
with her most recent Rogue Asgardian she's called a traitor for arresting them but Val pretends not
to care she's told by her royal guards that there have been reports of another Rogue in
Hell's Kitchen Valkyrie sighs exclaiming that she may have bitten off more than she can chew
but persists nonetheless she arrives at the scene of the crime where she has a run in
with Ghost Rider wait you're not Asgardian Valkyrie ponders out loud the two fight
ultimately ending with Ghost Rider having Valkyrie chained up in flames he pulls her closer and uses
the Penance Stare forcing her to mentally relive every atrocity she committed on Sakaar while also
showing the audience what kind of person she was before Thor showed up Valkyrie blacks out
and when she comes to the whole street is set ablaze people surround her taking pictures of
what they assume was her fault unable to assess the situation properly she uses Thunderbolt to
return to New Asgard sad that her sentimental armor is burnt Valkyrie being a strategist
hatches a plan to go undercover through Hell's Kitchen to figure out what might be going on so
she dons a leather biker jacket blue jean shorts and some high boots but since she's not completely
accustomed to Earth's fashion she still adds a few Asgardian touches as well as a retractable
spear she even puts her hair in pigtails paying a nice homage to her comic book design pretty cool
huh to make a long story short Valkyrie meets Ghost Rider again and though she's eager for
round two he explains to her that there's been a misunderstanding he came to Hell's Kitchen to
fight a fire demon that's been traveling through different forms of Hell knowing that the people
of Hell's Kitchen think the fires were her fault Valkyrie vows to slay this demon to regain favor
for New Asgard the two team up and while they track down the demon they have some good back
and forth dialogue about consequences the after life and purpose leaning into the show's central
theme of redemption it works quite well for these characters too because they both understand what
it's like to make deals with horrible people and just for fun have Valkyrie tease Ghost Rider
about his method of transportation anyway they find the demon and surprise surprise it knows
Valkyrie the demon tells her he traveled many Realms searching for whichever hell she ended
up in just so he could end her after sending his offspring to death in the battle arena on
Sakaar Ghost Rider asks if she knows who he's talking about and she doesn't answer the two
defeat the demon in an epic fight and Valkyrie asks Ghost Rider can sins be forgiven to which
he responds with can't say I've never tried Valkyrie walks away telling him she needs to
return to New Asgard and says oh and thank you for what your bike Valkyrie pulls the throttle
the bike ignites in flames and she teleports away with Thunderbolt Valkyrie goes home and
reflects on things knowing that she now has to deal with Rogue Asgardians and Sakaarans I'm
thinking Eight Episodes 30 minutes each hard focus on Valkyrie's character and how she can
redeem herself from her previous actions give it a nice Hard Rock soundtrack sprinkle some comic
book Asgardians here and there end the series with Beta Ray Bill showing up and that is how to fix
Valkyrie for those unaware this was taken directly from my video How To Fix Valkyrie
where I went in depth about how that character has been portrayed thus far if you want to hear
more about it be sure to check that video out and I mean hey you might as well check out my
social medias but especially Twitch if you want to see me live stream and oh my gosh guess what

or movie or anything really let me know in the comments down below until then I'll leave you with
this
