random thought but it was really really weird of marvel to make valkyrie a "king" of asgard when they had explicitly had hela call herself a queen? and like. pretended that it had always been the case that a reigning queen of asgard would be called a king? literally like two years after it was unambiguously established that no they absolutely would not?
