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.

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.

>>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.

>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.

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.

So basically your point is Micheal B Jordan playing Johnny is what made this fim bad? Not the writing or story, none of that? So for you him being white but with the same story and writing would have made the movie a hit? That the point you're making?

>>82981561

Another dumbass casting decision. SS will mostly be shit because of Will Smith.

>>82981662
Um, duh. And I think most of 4chan will agree with me that the only thing wrong with that movie was the BLACK PEOPLE

Now go back to tumblr, you cuck.

To be fair, Johnny was actually probably the best performance in the movie.

Shit makes me laugh because nobody gave a shit about Deadshot before Smith was cast, just like nobody gave a shit about Heimdall before Elba was cast. Hope the movie does great and Smith is forever seen as Deadshot and the character is in fact known to casuals because will smith

His shit acting didn't help.

Well none of the Thor movies have really been great.
The first was fun but meh the second was pretty crap.
But my point is /co/ said the movie would be shit and constantly derided his casting and unsurprisingly the movie was shit.
Maybe not BECAUSE he was cast but /co/ wasn't wrong in that instance.
>>82981705

That's why we went to shit. We weren't really love in the first place and it only serves for sentimental faggots to start whinging when people get "too mean" at THEIR opinions.

Since we've got /tv/ in the house, anyone know whether this girl can act? On a scale of zero to Xena, how good is her warrior woman?

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.

>>82981476
I wonder if they will put a blond wig on her.

>>82981564
>a black woman is no longer black enough to play a black woman.
We've still got at least two notches before we hit Princess and the Frog protestor levels of stupid, where there were simultanious protests that Prince Nassem was too black and not black enough.

I guess if you always imagined Deadshot with Will Smith's personality then yeah, he's perfect. Because in the trailer he's pretty much just Will Smith. No range.

At least they kept the facial hair and the right level of grimace on him on the promo pics. And will smith's natural swagger fits deadshot well enough.

>>82981876
I was actually trying to fish for pics of how she looked naked, and whatever the sexiest thing she's been is has been, but way to blow my play, Iceman.

Irrelivent. Neither of those movies were backed by WB.

Brynhildr is based on a Spanish princess so isn't actually based on someone related to a Hun.

Brynhildr and Atli weren't actually quite like the real people they are probably based. The ancient people probably imagined their appearance as not being exactly the same as that of the people they were based on.

That's true, but he actually did say something like that when the first complaints of his raceswapped character came into question. I think it was exactly "If this movie fails it's because racists will refuse to watch it.

Actually, thinking back to the few comics I remember with Valkarie in them, specificially one where she sexes up Agent Venom, doesn't Valkarie transform, ala Donald Blake, and her human ID isn't always blond haired and blue eyed? And I think she's had more than one Human ID.

I can't imagine they'll have a black woman transform in to an aryan goddess when she picks up her magic sword or whatever, but that would probably be comics accurate enough, and troll the fuck out of the SJWs AND /pol/.

In what you're thinking of she became linked with a mortal. She herself was usually just a normal Asgardian instead of having a Donald Blake counterpart, her counterpart in this case was her Lesbian Lover who then went on to cockblock her.

Goku being "alien" made it ok to change him to a White guy as i recall so yeah same shit applies here, spergy.

Why not cast someone who might actually look what the real version of the fictitious alternate version of a different character might look like? If their argument is casting a PoC is more accurate that is.

>>82982544
WB already gave quality films with the Nolanbats trilogy. MOS was ok and i knew BVS wasn't very good from the trailers

David Ayer as only made a total of Two films i haven't liked, his last film Fury was bad ass. Everything they have shown of SS so far looks better than Xmen and BVS, so yeah ...Can't fucking wait.

I didn't see either one. You think she can pull off being a warrior? Hopefully up to Faora level? Because I look at her photo, and at least at first glance, I'm seeing more of a Gadot wonder woman.

Funny as Fox's track record has also been less than Stellar and people claimed Deadpool would flop and it didn't. So you'll forgive people for not going by your box office predictions

I did. No reason Goku would have to be Asian.

Still, probably not a good idea to use Dragonball Evolution to support any argument. That movie's suck will counter any point you try to make.
>>
>>82982702
If you mean bulking up or generally her physicality, I can't say. But she's far from a wooden actress like Gadot. Thompson can definitely bring the ferocity needed.
>>
>>82982567
The race changing in the dragon ball and avatar movies were terrible too.

The Gods of Egypt thing I don't even understand because most of them have animal heads anyway. I can't name any North African actors though so I don't know how it could ever be authentic.

But Goku is Asian. He's based on a character from Chinese folklore and has oriental features.

Plus there's not many Asian male roles in US movies to begin with so it's a real shame when they make an Asian male protagonist white.
