He took a playful swipe at her which she dodged, then she pulled on his leg and kicked him while he was off balance.What exactly does that prove? That she's faster than a playful Hulk? That she's strong enough to topple an out of balance Hulk? Those are things Sif can easily replicate.
Like I said, I do think Valkyrie is the better warrior than Sif, but nothing she's done proves that she's amped beyond Sif levels. Being older makes her more experienced, not necessarily stronger.
And Sif was not a member of any elite unit, she was an elite warrior on her own. As in she got recognition from her exploits alone rather than through membership in a group. It's like asking who's a more skilled fighter: a navy seal or an MMA champion?
That's not what happened. Valkyrie kicked Hulk and Hulk fell while making a visible sound. The fact that she did this casually shows that she has some extreme power.
You are arguing against PERCEPTION. It's clearly the writer's intention that she can seriously hurt Hulk if she wanted to. That's what everyone who saw the scene perceived.
She also has a feat of throwing someone a long ass distance away.
Valkerie is significantly stronger than Sif. It's not debatable. Sif has no feats above a few tons.
