So the fact that Valkyries were essentially angels that took fallen warriors to the afterlife and *NOT* some elite female Odin-force doesn't blimp at all.  Nor does the complete botchery of Norse mythology.  But skin color is what bothers you?  You'll write off the family relations as "still family" but "still humanoid" isn't good enough for the Valkyrie or Heimdallr?

Describe again how that isn't racist?

How many Valkyrie  has OP personally met?

How do you know they were white?  Maybe they were just trying to avoid hurting your feelings.

Maybe they're bugs.  Wasps.

which brings us nearly full circle.
Maybe you are just "acting" stupid? I have read up on Norse mythology long ago and remember enough that they were fair skinned as most Vikings were.
You know I mentioned the skin color as an aside, but some people here think it's fine to change things as they see fit.
I think it's interesting that you claim to have some understanding of Norse mythology, and you are bothered by something as trivial as the skin color of a couple of actors, when the film has HUGE deviations from actual Norse mythology.

The fact that in actual Norse mythology Loki is NOT Thor's foster brother, but Odin's foster brother doesn't bother you?

The fact that in actual Norse mythology Thor is NOT single and chasing human chicks, but instead married to Sif doesn't bother you?

But the race of a couple of actors does?  That seems odd.

Don't get me wrong, I totally get that it might seem a little "off" to have non-white actors playing Valkyries and whatever, but those just seem like such minor "violations" of the mythology compared to the bigger issues.
Like I originally said Idris Elba is a good actor and I let it go even with the obvious issues. Loki is a still family. Thor getting some human on the side, well when lust is a must.
Maybe it's all this SJW BLM etc... bull shit. It has made me quite jaded and dis-trustful of the left and all they produce.

I write it off to Marvel pandering to a demographic simply to make more money. How about Keanu Reeves as T'Chala the Black Panther? After all skin color nor the way it was originally written makes any difference? If you object to this you are the racist.

Well..  still seems kind of Jewey for the American motion picture industry.

I like red, white, and blue patriotic movies made by red-blooded decent white Christian Americans, like we've grown accustomed to seeing from Hollywood.

And as Marvel movies go, the original Dare Devil was better, that's how bad it sucked ass. During the whole plodding 2 1/2 hours not one chuckle or titter out of the audience. Even with those awesome jokes they told! Oh and lest we forget the budding bromance between Thor and Hulk that went on for how fucking long?

I do love you newer members calling me racist for voicing my thoughts. You will fit right in with the SJW's out there. Someone doesn't agree with you RACIST! Right? BTW here is how the Heimdall I grew up with looked in the comic books.

Lol triggered snowflake.
Dude is fucking triggered by a story who’s every element is literally made up.

Valkeries were never a real thing.
They can be whatever color the story teller wants them to be.

Tell us why you’re really upset there are black peop replacing what are supposed to be pure white characters?

What a steaming pile of dog shit! I put up with a black Norse god. But a light skinned short black Valkyrie! They were all white women. Marvel stop with this bullshit! That said, they tried to make it funny and it didn't work. This will be the last Marvel film I see without doing research with reviews read first. Or I'll just wait for the DVD. Sad with how good they all started out, just to suck so bad!

So--on that line of thinking: Cool if Thor was played as a Black guy?

everything is chock full of SJW stuff.

play BF1? sometimes you spawn as a black german soldier.

sometimes you spawn as a female russian sniper.

im waiting for when you spawn as a black russian female sniper probably gay and has some sort of a weird relationship with horses that you can spawn with.

those that produce media are simply over the top with cramming all manner of SJW stuff down our throats. only way to avoid it is to simply avoid media of all types.

It is a made up character, I do not fucking care.
Unless the character's race impacts the plot then it does not matter if their race changes.

Also for dudes that claim to love and be die hard comic book followers you are all aware that comic book writers were some of the original SJWs right?
They have always been at the forefront of pushing minorities and women into roles traditionally dominated by white men.

Sure. You're the outlier in this thread, so I'm sure your experience was really that much different from everyone else's.... more likely you hear what you want to hear. It was funny and entertaining, the vast majority of people seem to disagree with you.

Maybe.  But given the evidence, I think it's more likely what I said.  Particularly since I saw the movie twice, once in my town and once in Nevada.
