Actually there were accounts of black Vikings. Due to how their thrall system worked many different races would be inslaved but once they earned freedom they had the same rights as everyone else and could even speak during assembly.

Only idiot racists appropriating a rather deverse culture think it was whitest of the white.

That's not true. The Danes were physically a very pale skinned people. Danish pirates made up the vast majority of Vikings. It wouldn't make sense to have a distinctly Zulu character and then have him played by a white guy because maybe a few white guys joined the Zulu of something.

She's a valkyrie. Valkyries are stereotypical aryan women. Thats the entire visual and its all they really have going for them.

Shes just gonna be some girl with a sword.

>>82980251
That's more like just trying to follow in Eartha Kitt's example. The way I see it, that movie wasn't based on any versions of Catwoman from the comics. It was just based on previous live action adaptations of Catwoman, and any other bullshit they could think of.

>Electro was too /r9k/
>Jimmy looks like an alpha male

First of all, how are either of those the cause of 'race swapping'?

Jimmy is an adult in Supergirl, not the teen photographer. They explained that when you spend all those hanging with Superman and getting saved by him, you aspire to be like him, rather than remain a helpless geek. Thus, Jimmy grows up into a man.

Electro was /r9k/ because it was a shitty movie, not because he was black. Are you just looking for reasons to be mad at nothing?

As the movie industry begins to sink it's claws deeper into comics, playing fast a loose with the lore of a character or comic franchise will become more the norm to please various focus groups.

Same could be said about the fictional Wakandians. Yet they're beating themselves off for having a mostly black cast. Africans are allowed to be black.

Right. Personality is wrong. Look is wrong. Character is completely different. Social role is completely different. A black jimmy, if you were to go with that, you go with some Urkel like motherfucker.

Will Smith by comparison looks like a hardass, and has a big porn star mustache by comparison. Race swap but still looks like the guy. Same for Kingpin. Huge, muscular, Tailored suit on thug to the bone.


>>82980418
It's a fig leaf. He's closer to Steel than anything Jimmy would have grown into.
>>
>>82980373
This. In-universe, they're no even supposed to be Norse people, they just came to Earth in Northern Europe to fight off Frost Giants.
Though I'm still trying o figure out the phenotypic difference of having White Asgardians and Black Asgardians in what seems like a very small area. Asgard seems to be more of a single city than a whole planet.
>>
>>82980495
Because they want your tears anon.

Did Cap 1 or thor have a significant amount of black character appearances? Even IM 1 had little Rodey.

And besides these are space aliens to begin with. You really think their ancient history is going to say powerful black guys were kicking ass? If you take history at its word you'd think Jesus was white as snow.

Did you not read the explanation for why he's a hunk? It's a new take on the character, a grown up one who takes after his pal Superman.

Why aren't you mad at Supergirl being different from the comics too? Or Cat Grant? Or J'onn? Do you even like the show? Do you even watch it?

Valkyrie is based on Brynhildr, who was the brother of Atli.

Atli was a mythologized version of Atilla the Hun.

Atilla the Hun was NOT A WHITE PERSON.

Person of color Valkyrie is perfectly fine.

A character's look is very important, and race is usually an important part of a character's look.

>>82981106
You are absolutely correct. However, the comic book thor is a specific, iconic look for thor.

Valkyrie is D list, I think she had a solo. She's got a pretty distinctive look.

Even the original character could be interpreted as being foreign/inhuman/otherworldly, and we're a couple degrees removed from that.

I could easily see an excuse for a wide variety of actors playing the role.

>Plus there's not many Asian male roles in US movies to begin with so it's a real shame
Maybe so.

>an Asian male protagonist white
One from a story in which none of the Asian countries even exist?
>>
>>82982924
Nobody was arguing that people didn't bitch about them. The argument was that faggots were falling over themselves to defend it! ( probably the same ones bitching about this shit too)

And those weren't obscure side characters like Heimdal and whomever this chick is playing, these were main characters being white washed.

So i can see the argument here is in the next movie Thor is being played by fucking Terry Crews or some shit, but it's not the case and never will be

>>
>>82983105
Yeah. I've got to add that's a bit more of a stretch from our original premise though, because Asian -> White is an easier jump than White -> Black.
Either way, I don't think I'd mind black Kryptonians/Superman. It would be really lame if they pulled a Fant4stic and stupidly kept Supergirl white at the same time.

I'd like the Kents to stay white though. Or just leave the Kents out of it.

That's my point they don't look like shit.
White people tend to look comically white dependent on the style.
However there are tons of series where they just look like your average animu style. For instance Code Geass, Attack on Titan, Full Metal Alchemist all include characters from Alternate timelines of Europe, only a single character in AoT is of any Asian descent and she's mixed, the Asian characters of Full Metal are only mildly different from the Amestrians, in Code Geass the Britannians and Japanese are practically indistinguishable. Actual context informs of their ethnicity better than the artstyle. Meanwhile the typical artstyle in the comics clearly depicts a blonde haired blue eyed woman consistently. It's much easier to say she doesn't resemble the character at all. It'd be like complaining that the casting in Avatar was fine because they're a fictitious world, but we know at the very least the Water Tribe is fucking brown and the Fire Kingdom fucking isn't.

I don't think it's bad to have a black actress, just...why? Why change Valkyrie at all?

Just make her a new hero. It's not like they haven't made shit up for the MCU before. Now Valkyrie will always be this black chick. Valkyrie should've been pic related.

Johnny Storm is worse. The director basically admitted he did it just because he wanted to copy the Flash tv show.

Although if they have her be a love interest with the main character that might be motivated by the success of the Flash. That's what seems to motivate these other superhero shows with their romances like that.

Actually, I can see the thematic choice.


Drow style Dark elves that Marvel comics emulate are good, but the movies wanted to go with the subterranian night-haunter designs with pale skin and blind milky eyes.


It's understandable as a themtaic choice, Things that live in darkness eventually turn pale and blind.

There is no thematic choice to having Valkyrie be black.

Try looking at the actress and hearing the name Brunhilde without laughing.

Black Vikings are adorably stupid. In actual fact, it poses a greater problem.

Brunhilde in the comics WAS a real MYTH Viking who actually carried the souls of the dead to Valhalla.

So how are they going to explain that in not!Magic land?

Are we not going to have the winged horse either?

Never said "Black people". When you're painting actors bluish-purple, it doesn't matter much what color you start with.

I'll be honest /co/mblr. You're defending it because you're stupid. So if they're aliens, and JUST aliens not outsider-like gods, then where does that leave the actual Thor franchise?

Do we no longer have events like >>82988575 ?

Are Asgardians mortal? Do they age like people? Whats the point in Asgard when everything is explained as "Science". I understand it's a poor mans interpretation of kirbies work.

Oh my god. You actually don't know, do you? "Svartalfar" literally means "swarthy elves". Being aliens doesn't make them black, the actual legends do.

You goddamn idiot. I was saying them being aliens makes it easier to say why a being that lives in darkness would be black, which by the way is in line with NORSE mythology, or blue, which is in line with the COMICS. You could easily explain that with magic too, it wouldn't fucking matter.

But you don't care about actual Norse mythology or the comics. You just care about your identity politics, and putting them wherever you feel like, to the point where you started arguing against someone who wasn't even making the points you ascribed to them.

Because a 4 foot tall Hispanic/Black woman can't really play a tall powerful Norse Warrior Goddess no matter how much you pretend to want it.

She looks nothing like Valkyrie. The last thing anyone thinks of when they hear THE WORD Valkyrie is a so-so looking minority woman.

Never said I wanted it. I don't in fact, I thought the anons were speaking generally, not for just this specific role.

>"dark elves", "dusky elves", "murky elves", sing. myrkálfr
Are you trying to tell me "dusky" isn't a reference to their appearance? How many times have you heard someone referred to as "dusky" and it meaning "lives in the dark".

So you be saying we was drow queens and shit?

They couldn't have picked a better actress? She is the best they could find?

I mean I don't even care that she's black, but she's awful. I fast forwarded through her parts in creed (muh music N struggles), and you couldn't pay me to see that race baiting "dear white people"

I can deal with the fact Valk is traditionally a blonde hair/blue eyes Nord (Inb4 muh space aliems), but I was already not looking forward to this movie before I saw she was in it.

May be the first MCU movie I skip

Yeah, sure. Why not.

At least the only black character in xmen gets civilized all the time. And they don't race swap xmen

Assiduously from that retarded gen x movie

Creed was good, she was shit.

I felt no sympathy for her character when we found out she was going through her problems, her fights with Donnie seemed forced, the makeups seemed rushed, nothing felt natural. Michael B. was trying his damndest to carry that performance, but her seemingly lackadaisical lackluster approach to the character was off-putting.

There's a reason Creed didn't win more, and it starts with T and ends with Ess

Not even criticisms as much as memewords pseudoinyellectuals use to describe things they don't like.

You can use those to describe your bowel movements and it'd make more sense.
>>
>>82989964
>I'll just call his post a meme
>heh that'll teach him

Fine, she made slow paced love scenes agonizing to watch. when creed got in the fight with the headliner of her show, she was saying words supposively expressing contempt, but I felt no vitriol in her acting. It seemed utterly emotionless.

then skip it. whether you, anon, put in 10 dollars to watch this movie or not, wont make a difference in any way.

It's weird though that it's consistently white to black. You know I'd be down with a native Valkyrie. Kinda like Dani Moonstar.

The only non white to black I can think of is Nolan North and the character barely had a role. They did Jew to Asian with Quill, but no one probably cares about him.

Even one of the kids in the New X-man trailer is a white character to black. Shouldn't there be a mexican mutant family or something. Ala the Guthries.

Diversity=Blacks anon. It's the current year, get with it

What xmen got blacked?

Also you do realize liberals are the people who complained about the NBA bucks not being black enough because the team was only 60% black in a league that is 85% black
>>
>>82990343
Well, when you find out, she's technically latina/black, so ehhhh, I'd say it's more /pol/ being butthurt about anything.

Who am I kidding, of course it's /pol/tards being butthurt about anything.
>>
>>82979223
She's showing up in Thor 3 as Valkrie.

Actually, has that been confirmed? I mean, the description makes it pretty goddamn likely, I'm sure it's the case, but is it actually confirmed?
>>
Who the actual fuck gives a shit about Valkyrie?
>>
>>82979292
Yeah, even the comics have a Mongol viking, they'll let anybody get in on it. I kinda like the whole "We'll adopt gods as long as they cool enough to roll with us" thing. Makes sense that so many pantheons have found their twilight in this world that you got some diversity in the pantheon that did that.

Wither, but to be fair they might have just used his power set.

Latina doesn't mean anything. Latina could cover every race.

>>82990559
That's like a character no one cares about being replaced in an Internet video that isn't even in the actual movie.
>>
>>82990593
No, that's what it is. What do you mean "like."
>>
>>82989733
Well, It got a chuckle out of me at least. Better than anything else in this shitty thread.
>>
>>82990549
No one, it's just an excuse to soapbox by computer chair politicians.
Just like no one cares about Gods of Egypt.
>>
>>82979380
She looks good to me

oh my jegus
first the sexist rant against the new and better Ghostbusters and now this?
hello? it's 2016 ffs

Seems the only butthurt here is tumblr, OP is just stating facts.
Though I know how you can be triggered by reality.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as they dye her hair blonde and she portrays a nordic woman.

At least it is not ugly, fat and terrible acting like pic related
