The one change I kinda like from comics to MCU is Hela replacing Angela. Angela wasn't even from Marvel but from Image comics (Spawn), and she was kinda just shoehorned in (and at this point I've stopped caring or counting for how many siblings Thor has cus it's bullshit at this point that there's a new one every time you blink). I just haven't gotten to care for Angela much yet and dislike her weird metal bikini with a huge belt design?

Hela was a Marvel character longer (As Loki's sorta daughter; sometimes not daughter; it's weird & why they look alike on a Doylist level). I think her having a longer history in Norse Marvel made her be more easy to incorporate than Angela who was rather new in 2017.

I like Hela more as the secret older sister. Though it'd have still been pretty cool to see her as Loki's daughter as well.

Weird Facts about Thor comics

-Thor and Loki were created for then Timely Comic's comic book Venus. It was a brief forage into the marketability of comic books "for girls", where Venus was the titular character, Loki the antagonist (and very Satan-like and Hades-like, even going by "Satan"). Thor was introduced as a heroic minor character.

-Jack Kirby created the New Gods of DC comics. The New Gods were intended to replace the Norse pantheon in Marvel after Ragnarok happened and they all died off, but some legal battles ensued between Jack Kirby and Marvel. So he went off to DC to pitch in his idea.

-There is a mashup DC and Marvel universe called the Amalgam universe. Predictably Thor and Loki were meshed with the New Gods Thor + Orion= Thorion, Loki + Desaad =L'ok D'saad. One of the variants from the Loki series looks like this.

-Sometimes I wonder if I'm reading too much into pre-AoA Loki being a queer-coded villain, but then I remember that the first two comic runs were Loki is sympathetic in some way rather than "pure evil" (Loki (2004) and Loki (2010)) were written by openly gay men (one being Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who went on to write the Riverdale TV show lol). If you're wondering how I know this, I wanted to see what else they had written on Wikipedia lol.

-Angela was originally from the Spawn comics. Marvel bought the character from Neil Gaiman, who had been involved in legal battles with Todd McFarlane over the character. She became Thor and Loki's secret older sister (and the MCU replaced her with Hela).
