Viking flashbacks??? VIKING???
You must be one overweight frustrated catlady. Bitter much?
The social climate that seams to drive Hollywood to these ridiculous casting decisions is what I meant with film today.
There is a purpose behind all these ridiculous casting decisions, like casting half of an Medieval English Village Black in Dr.Who, which is absolutely ridiculous, making Achilles black, casting a Black African as a Knight in King Arthur. All these ridiculous casting stunts would be laughed out of the theatre if lets say they would cast Black people as Chinese monks or Vietnamese Villagers. And this is deliberately done, even though the people doing it know that it is patently false and ridiculous:

""We've kind of got to tell a lie. We'll go back into history and there will be black people where, historically, there wouldn't have been, and we won't dwell on that."
It's a politically correct stunt that got way out of hand and compromises casting and film making decisions.
What I pointed out was how both pictures where received, even though they depicted isolated societies of a certain ethnic background in a totally different way.
Well, Matrix is at least not Teal & Orange, so she should love it.
I'd suggest you look up the definition of charlatan, Cakey. Spoilers, it's not "Great director I don't like because his films don't look like a 50s movie".
Wow, not only are you constantly shitting on great directors and films, you also think that this movie is one of the greatest movies of all time?
Brought to you by the hack Joel Schumacher it has a horrible Nicolas Cage in it stumbling through a bland film filled with plotholes (like a hospital giving a patients home address, because someone called them claiming to be the police). It is Schumachers best, but that's because most of his other films are horrible and he is a crappy director. God forbid he did something interesting like Aronovsky. Cakey, you truly have great insight.
You're not my fucking mother!
Let's go eat, huh?
Since when do you give me orders?
It's not a monster movie.
There is a 70s movies called Grizzly. Now that is literally a cheap Jaws ripoff.
It was horrific, but not as gut churning as the bear scene in Hercules (1970).
But do we have the right to arm bears?
Agreed, Winter Soldier feels more like a Bourne Movie than a Superhero movie. It has 0 cheese and great practical action.
He had a very promising show called "How to be cool at parties". Unfortunately it got canceled after only one episode. Politics, man! But you can check it out on YouTube, highly recommended.
Lol, making a film like TDKR out as something even remotely intellectually challenging only shows both your lack of cinematic knowledge and miniscule mental
capacity.
Your a moron! So I should "stick" to a franchise Ibdont even like, because I find faults in a movie that you seem
to blindly worship? Oh yes, and I never
said something about Rachel, nice straw
man again.
Really? That is your reasoning? Because it made a lot of money and is ranked high on IMDb which is known for fanboys kiddos upvoting their favourite movies?
And you prentend to be some intellectual film conneceur? Lol
Again, grasping at straws. So this ridiculous contrived story of yours is the excuse that half of the island is black?
Let's see, Wakanda is right next to land that was colonised by Whites. Wouldn't be ridiculous for a White child, that was orphaned, because his parents where killed in a Battle with natives to accidentally be picked up by Wakandans patrolling the border. The child would wander around starving and they would bring it to their leader and it is decided that because he's just a small child of 3 years of age and his parents where killed he is to be raised as a Wakandan. There you have your excuse for a White man in Wakanda, equally contrived as your silly story.
And again, Asgard is part of the native religion of the Germanic people! It is totally silly to think that their deities would look like people they at the time hadn't even made any contact with! It feels ridiculous having these deities with ancient Nordic names like Heimdall being played by a Nigerian. It's like someone named M'butu being played by a Norwegian.
And please, tell me honestly that you wouldn't have any problems with a Wakandan deity being played by a White man. Honestly! Y'all would lose your shit, you know it to be true!
I have no problem with Black people playing roles in setting where it makes sense! I have a problem when they are cast as a contrived virtue signalling stunt in roles that feel ridiculous. I have a problem with Black people being cast as Greeks and I have a problem with White people being cast as Africans. And I have a problem with people thinking one is ok and progressive and the other is offensive and racist.
