YMMV / What If…? S2E7 "What If... Hela Found the Ten Rings?"

• Fanfic Fuel: As is customary for a What If episode the story's ending leaves much room for the audience's imagination–Hela and Wenwu team up to become protectors of the cosmos; does that mean that the latter never becomes corrupted by the Ten Rings? They have something resembling a Ship Tease; do they actually become a couple, and if so, does this mean Shang Chi and Xialing will be Hela's children rather than Ying Li's, or never born at all? Is Thor ever born? What becomes of Loki? Are the Avengers ever formed, and for that matter, are they ever even born? She and Wenwu try to undo Odin's imperialism, does that mean rather than a Galactic Superpower ruling MCU space, she institutes galactic anarchism? If Thanos is stopped, does this mean Gamora's homeworld is spared? Will Ego be stopped before he ever sets foot in Missouri? How does this affect the creation of the Guardians of the Galaxy? Does Hela ever come in conflict with The Eternals or Celestials? If Hela meets with Ego, what does this mean for Mantis or the fate of Meredith Quill? Will Peter Quill be born regardless? Will Yondu still be part of the Ravagers since he won't be forced to commit human trafficking? Does Trevor Slattery still get hired to act as the Mandarin?
