    Why couldn’t they leave historic Viking characters Viking? I don’t understand the need to pander to the woke mob

    @Jontro
    Didn’t know Blek woman was Viking
    @rocketsjudoka
    Maybe she’s a descendant of Warren Moon

    Apparently Loki has been playing pranks again, and Oden is really angry about it.

    Plus, there are some historical accounts for black Vikings.

    Much better explanation than the presence black elves on LOTR. Because Tolkien didn't will it so, and now my immersion has gone to ****. /rage

    There goes that neighborhhood :(

    ...what is this nonsense? You aren't @tinman


    So this is dumb, I agree, but what are you going to do? They did this ~10 years ago with the first Thor movie and turning the Asgardians multi-racial. /shrug

    I hope Netflix's stock falls off a cliff so they can clean house at the executive level and stop the uber-woke ****, stop the canceling of series after one season. That goes for HBO too.

    Someone posted something about historical figures having their races swapped from Black to white a while ago. Took me down a rabbit hole, turns out the vikings were also Black. Also turns out white people have been race swapping people for centuries.:eek:

    It's really strange how picky some people are about trying to have "realistic appearance" in their television and movies. The thing is that there aren't many generic housewives that look like Amy Adams, or Jennifer Lawrence, but people don't complain about that. There aren't many advertising workers that look like the cast from Mad Men, especially during that time setting.

    Why is it that now people are upset about characters not appearing "realistic" for them?
