Ragnarok is one of the best and most entertaining comic book movies ever made.

The movie was well worth ten bucks to see. I thought it was great..
The only thing that bothered me was seeing an M16 firing full auto with the dust cover closed.

So they should have gotten an actual cosmic elder to play Jeff Goldblums character? An actual scientist with Gamma poisoning to play Hulks? An actual rock to play Rock dude? Im not sure thats gonna work...... Quote HistoryQuoted:

You are not getting my point, that or you are just being tarded. The point is don't put someone in a role simply because they fit the fad of the day. Pick someone who accurately represents how that character was written originally. If they made T'Challa white or asian that would be wrong. How about a gay transgendered non binary latina to be Capt America? An actual scientist with Gamma poisoning to play Hulks? An actual rock to play Rock dude? Im not sure thats gonna work......

Quote HistoryQuoted: it's been happening for years or did you believe all those indians in westerns were played by actual natives. I think what many have a problem with in this thread is that OP zeroed in on Non-white people playing the supposedly white roles. Roles that really don't have much in the way of historical context as they are from a comic book. Ya Norse mythology but this obviously isn't a faithful representation of that. Thor Ragnarok had many problems as a movie race wasn't one of them. Lots of humor in a serous story distractingly so. The movie spent a lot of time re positioning characters for the next movie. Cate Blanchett made a hot villain but not exactly a good one. Things done for sake of comics didn't make a lot of sense otherwise. There was no point to hulk being there at all. I could go on. but I did enjoy the movie as a whole. It wasn't perfect but I was thoroughly entertained. A mixed race Valkyrie really didn't hurt the movie. |

Thats because the indians back then were drunk from too much fire water. But i believe in the 70's there started to be more indians playing indians. The guy who played Charlie Chan in the 50's was a good actor. But i'd have rather seen an asian cast in that role. Not a white guy with the corners of his eyes pulled back!

Huh, weird. I thought it was hilarious and probably my favorite Marvel movie yet. I didn't even think about the character supposed to being white since they're Norse gods. Meh. Both those characters were great. I didn't think for one moment about it being a social justice thing. It's a fictional over-the-top alien universe. I'm ok with them changing the race of a character. Meh.

Let's have a black guy play Eisenhower And A white guy play MLK Do that and with MLK and see who screams the loudest and riot. The whites with IKE would just shake their heads in disgust but do nothing. fuck it's only Hollywood since when have they actually stuck to telling the truth in any movie I mean even though I've never in any documentaries or history books seen vikings portrayed as black it's ok for Hollywood to be politically correct and fuck up or screw with anything they want right. Just to please who ever. Like in the last Fantastic 4 movie, the THE HUMAN TORCH Johnny has always been was written as a BLOND HAIRED BLUE EYED guy. But who gives a shit. Just to be politically correct lets fuck up the way it was written and make the Torch Black. Some it bothered some it didn't, did it take away from the character of the Human Torch absolutely in my opinion and many others. It was not the same. So does that make me an ass for thinking you should stick to the script of characters no. I think it should be done the way it was written. It's called originality This is what the OP is voicing and you guys are being dicks about it. He's not being racist. But then again this is GD I find it entertaining at times. But in the end. Yes it's just a stupid movie OP and it is Hollywood. I would not sweat it. Like I've always said. If you do not like a post or a movie. Simplyndo not read it or watch. They own it and have right to do as they want. I'm waiting till it comes out on RedBox |
