A disturbing Thor: Ragnarok fan-edit imagines the God of Thunder and Hela, the Goddess of Death, as twins - with both characters played by Chris Hemsworth. Taika Waititi's 2017 MCU film drastically changed the trajectory of the Asgardian Prince's arc in the franchise. It was used as the launching pad for Thor's journey in both Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

With its lighter take on Thor's character, Ragnarok was drastically funnier than its predecessors. Despite its tone, however, the film actually told a tragic narrative. Aside from the death of Odin (Anthony Hopkins) at the beginning of the film and the destruction of Asgard at the end, Ragnarok also revealed the secret ugly past of the former Allfather with the introduction of his daughter, Hela. Played by Cate Blanchett, the Goddess of Death was Odin's firstborn, who was banished after attempting to continue her and her father's invasion plans. In order to stop her from wreaking new havoc, Ragnarok sees Thor and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) set aside their differences and team-up to defeat their long-lost sister.

Now, one fan has revisited the 2017 blockbuster and imagines what Hela would look like if she and Thor weren't just siblings, but identical twins. The fan-edit video, shared on Reddit by one user, reimagines clips from Waititi's original Ragnarok film. However, to make things more bizarre, the video visualizes Hemsworth playing the Goddess of Death instead of Blanchett, creating quite an unsettling version of the villainous character.

Marvel's popular Disney+ show What If...?, which imagines how the Infinity Saga would've panned out if certain elements had been altered, sparked a new trend in fan-made edits and images. Many viewers took the series' premise as a challenge to come up with their own scenarios. Couple that with the idea that alternate realities can exist in the MCU due to the existence of the multiverse being properly established, and the Internet is now home to hundreds of creative, funny, and sometimes downright odd, possibilities. While the aforementioned Ragnarok scenario seems to be created for pure fun, What If...? recently tackled a similar sibling-based concept in episode 7, which explored how Thor's life may have changed if he didn't grow up with Loki as a brother.

There are still a lot of questions regarding Hela's character, as her supposed demise at the end of Ragnarok wasn't actually shown on screen. Given that, while Thor: Ragnarok seemingly marked her death, Marvel Studios could surely find a way to resurrect her in future MCU films if she was every needed again. If Hela ever does return, fans may receive an explanation as to why the Goddess of Death ultimately resembles Loki more than her biological brother. This is an interesting narrative element that loyal followers of the franchise have pointed out before, but with both Hela and Odin dead, it has never been properly examined. It's likely that Marvel has cleverly left this topic open for exploration in future projects, and it will interesting to see when, or if, it ever comes to fruition.
