A Christian group called The Council of Conservative Citizens is boycotting Marvel's upcoming movie Thor -- not for the reason I would have expected, that it celebrates or promotes paganism --  but because "the God Heimdall is played by a black man."

The online campaign to boycott Thor by Marvel Studios has begun. Visit Boycott-Thor.com


OH NOEZ!

ETA: I was wondering why a Christian group would give a rat's ass if someone declared war on a pagan mythology, until I read their "statement of principles" and then understood where they were coming from, that they see it as a left-wing attack on the white man's heritage.  :roll:

Yeah, I heard about this too, and also had a "WTF" moment until I realized exactly what was going on.

Probably best not to tell these guys that Viking religion descends, in all likelihood, from the Proto-Indo-European peoples of Central Asia or India, either.

Or that they themselves descend from those same people.

Christianity was a left wing attack on the white mans heritage if you want to get technical.
In fact it was created by a jew.

Glittersnatch would be a rather unfortunate condition, if a halfway decent troll name.

That is the line generally used by National Socialist sorts.  I've actually had that conversation with them before.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Am I really the only person besides a pack of retard fundies who thinks it's stupid to represent a people's god as being a dude from a completely different tribe of people? It's very much like making a movie about Ifa and having Robin Williams play Ogun, or having a woman play the role of Jesus.

Not worth forming an organized boycott over, but still, not only culturally and historically wrong but it also seems deliberately disrespectful. I mean, after all the years of protesting that American indians have done to get Hollywood to cast indians in roles portraying indians, it would be pretty hypocritical of me not to recognize that casting a black man in the role of a european god of white-skinned people is a blatant appeal to the PC left, unless there is some historical evidence that Heimdall was once depicted with dark skin. (There are cross-racial deities in some religions, so it's not completely unheard of.)

It's a Marvel wink to Thor: Mighty Avenger #6, where

QuoteHeimdall, much like his Marvel Universe incarnation, appears as the guard of the Bifrost bridge, sports a goatee and wears a horned helmet that casts his eyes in shadows. Unlike the Marvel Universe version, however, this Heimdall is black, a shapeshifter (taking the forms of Surtur and Fin Fang Foom) and a clear superior to Thor in combat.

Epimetheus

These are Marvel characters. So I don't care who they choose to play their characters.

Heh, OK. I am not a comic book geek at all, so I have no business in this arena.
