Well last weeks comics were so bad and I'm going to dragon con and won't get to check out this weeks unless they have them in a dealers room, so it's new and rumors , while the Joss Whedon S.h.e.i.l.d show is a little bit of a let down since none of the guys in the organization have powers so it's basically a crime drama, we are going to talk about Thor casting.
Adewale Abadje who would be an excellent choice for Black Panther has been cast as Algrim the strong otherwise known as Kurse. My question is what has changed since the lord of the rings trilogy to require affirmative action in casting? Did the orcs fill the quota? Because as if Heimdall wasn't bad enough we now have black elves.I know the title is the dark world, but in 2012 blacks make up 1.9 percent of the population of Norway, for those of you who are slow this is where Norse Mythology came from. So in 5 a.d how many black people to you think were there ? In medieval times how many black people were anywhere other than Africa and Egypt ? Ok you can count aboriginal man as well asnd say Australia.
I know Norse mythology isn't the only place elves were derived from they also came from
Old English myth where they were called Albiz in the protogermanic , which was derived from the Latin word albums which means ....white. Now you can scream racist or you can say well those or the facts, if I wanna make movie about zebras, they might have stripes
Another point of interest being black or dark elves did not mean skin tone but that they were dim and dingy, so not the skilled and the brightest of the elves...and you cast a black man to play this part, guess that kinda bck fired unless you re trying to say in the nine real,s of Norse myths , black are dumb and dirty. I'm not judging just pointing out, an interesting artistic direction, I will not comment further that assessment, but if you are basing characters in mythology do your research.
Other new the justice league movie is going to be the vehicle to reintroduce the rebooted post Nolan Batman.Let me restate how fucked up Dc is whenit comes to being behind marvel on movies now, Man of Steel better deliverall of their movies hinge on this if they are in development or not.Becused Superman goes the way of GreenLantern, then forget wonder woman and know you are going the making another League of Extrodinary Gentlemen or even a Mystery men if you are not careful.
And what's happen in comic last week nothing they wasted a bunch of paper across the board better luck this week.
