No, but very far fetched and there's no records of blacks niggering around with viking looting hosts.

Why is it that every piece of media HAS to have blacks, even if they don't fit the context of the story they're trying to tell?

Why not fucking make a series about Mansa Musa or something so that people crying about too small an amount of token niggers would shut the fuck up?

Admittedly I had to google what or who it was but still

Because niggers.

The main character was the girl tho.

Bear in mind Beowulf takes place before the Viking age making it even less likely.
>>
>>53682205
>pollute

that's just like your opinion
When I see a black dude in a weird setting in media I just heartily chuckle, I don't have an autistic outrage, like /tv/ had with the new Star Wars.
I mean, it's a fantasy setting anyway and there's so many historical mistakes in these kinds of settings anway(and by many I mean A LOT, HOLY FUCK THEY'RE JUST MAKING IT UP AS THEY GO), so why even care...

see meme example:

There's usually an in-plot reason for someone of non-native ethnicity in a story that involves a historically insular society, see Antonio Banderas as an Arab warrior in The Thirteenth Warrior or various westerns that have Chinese martial artists teaming up with cowboys

Technically yes, unless you're one of those "rurik was a finn" memers.
>>
>>53683795
He actually called the viking "Rus" because thats what they called white northern people those times, similar to Columbus calling Native Americans "indians" but its undeniable how he differentiate between them as "world' roof people" or سقف العالم and that he was the first to witness and document a "Norse funeral"

>>53684337
Beowulf is set in Scandinavia. Russia is not in scandinavia. And Rurik was certainly culturally germanic but at least according to DNA genetically he wasn't.

>>53684354
He was in Russia you dingus, not in Scandinavia.

It's actually okay if they want people of different races in Asgard. If you study norse mythology, nothing in there suggests that only white people are in Asgard. There are people of different races in Asgard (Jotun, Vanir, Aesir) so it's not exactly racially homogenous in the first place.

But why is Heimdall of all people black? He is literally described as "the whitest of all the gods".
Marvel pls.

He did go to Russia then to what he called "world' roof"
and clearly called'em "Majuss" several time instead of "Rohss" (Majuss are non monolithic people) and HE WAS One of few if not the only foreigner to document and witness a Norse funeral, wrote a famous poem on Beowulf and even described valhalla in it.
I do agree, the wiki article is incomplete, you need to learn another language..perhaps Arabic..
>>
>>53686702
He witnessed the norse stuff because Russia was ruled by the norse at that time... are you seriously this misinformed?
>>
>>53686920
I read his letters, poems, they're very clear, who travels to Russia through Gallia, you're clearly ignorant and/or biased
>>
>>53680258
I've started to watch this. Isn't very good. Haven't seen the black guy yet.

At least in Frozen they didn't put blakc people because, well, there's no reason to see black people in XIX Norway (same as there's no black people in Tangled). Still people bitched.

Galavant has a black guy, but the setting is comical and they have made jokes about it.
>>
>>53680258
as if in whole Europe that's why some surnames means Black

>>
>>53680258
Are you somehow implying they did not?
>>
The Norse people traded with half the known world, it's not too far fetched for a blacky to tag along home.
>>
>>53689518
No it really is. There are no known recordings of blacks in the North in the 9th century.

They would have to learn a whole new language, be accepted, and probably convert.

People were extremely xenophobic back then.

you're supposed to suspend your disbelief you actual mongoloids. you are literally so autistic that a black person breaks your immersion but a fucking dragon doesn't

>>53689596
Why the fuck would it be recorded? Most of the stuff we know from the Vikings is from songs and their meme sagas.
>>
>>53686702
>>53687192
This is actually really interesting. It actually mentions he travels beyond Russia into the Norse lands proper?
>>
>>53689768
Really dislike this meme desu.
>>
>>53689518
But Beowulf takes place before the Viking age and after the migration period, in a period were the Norse probably didn't travel all that much, certainly not to the west down to Africa.

In the 6th century Byzantium was still controlling minor Asia and the Levant+Egypt.

I don't know Finns at the time didn't do much. Just traded with vikings and lived in tribes like Tavastians
