Seriously, I don't. I'm not being sarcastic here, I was fine with Idris Elbow playing Heimdall in the previous movies and everything and in most cases I'd be fine with black Valkyrie.
But did she have to look so... what's the word I'm looking for here?

I do mind that instead of giving black actors black characters to play, we are giving them hand me down white onea. It is inorganic story telling and superficial as fuck.

I'd fuck that actress in the ass but she shouldn't be playing a Valkyrie

The difference is that Idris owned the role and is actually a pretty good actor. This girl is just ugly and bad actress.
Though I still think if they want to feature blacks then they should pull black characters (in the case of MCU there are plenty) or write new ones. Because changing a characters race in this political climate is just racial pandering which shouldn't happen.
Landon Smith
She looks like she's from London. Those are the kinds of faces London women make. I'm absolutely serious.

She's beige

Norse mythology and paganism has been shat on for so long, we don't even have any transcripts or enough artifacts left that hasn't been destroyed or at least worked over by Christians. As such, there's shit all to go on by in terms of accuracy when depicting anything even remotely related. Marvel took some elements/names which they thought would look cool in comics.
For one, Valkyrie is a title, not a name.
Camden Young
why isn't valkyrie a fit and toned blonde

This nigress looks familiar. She was in some hollywood schlock or popular tv show recently, but I can't put my finger on it.

Heimdall is literally referred to "The Whitest of the Gods" in Norse mythology yet they casted Idris Elba for it.

Why didn't they cast Idris Elba instead?
Jeremiah Jones
>Heimdall is literally referred to "The Whitest of the Gods" You're right, they should have cast some cracker in a sweater vest who's constantly guzzling mayonnaise and listening to Enya
Worst casting choice ever. It's almost as if they're trying to pick the worst person for the job.
Jace King
Yeah other than the fact that I mind black people existing it's really not a big deal
Jeremiah Gonzalez
>But did she have to look so... what's the word I'm looking for here?
Although i feel like you're building into the sir mix-a-lot's >she's just so... so black! I LIKE BIG BUTTS etc. etc., I do see where you're coming from. She's not unattractive, but she's less appealing in ways that are difficult to define. There's something about her face that I don't like. There are better looking actresses than this girl for sure.
Christopher Long

Hell, even Lupita Nyong'o would've been a better choice, but I think she's cast in the Black Panther movie.
Kevin Evans
I do, Valkyries are beautiful white angel like beings who swoop down onto a battlefield to gather up dead warriors to Valhalla. I don't know who this black chick is supposed to be but it's not a Valkyrie.
Jaxson Ward
Like most mythological and religious exports, they are adapted to their new populations whether it's changing names and/or appearances.
You may as well be complaining about Jesus having blue eyes and since no one takes Viking traditions seriously, you'd be an idiot to get worked up over something so insignificant.
Jordan Ross

Ryder Wright
I didn't mind Heimdall being black because Idris Elba is great. This lady doesn't interest me at all, she doesn't look strong, she doesn't look good, etc.
I'm probably one of the few people who is an actual fan of Valkyrie and I wish it would have been a more traditional approach. I feel like her costume sucks and doesn't reflect the comic at all, I miss the classic hairstyle, she should have a spear in addition to her sword, etc.
They just slapped a name on her. Also she is some sort of Asgardian spy? And not an actual (lower case v) valkyrie?
Just kinda sucks. Call her something else and it's fine.
Sebastian Johnson
In the end, what does it matter? You're most likely a Christian and given that Jesus wasn't white, why are you pretending that your lord and savior was?
Luis Anderson
She looks like Typhoid Mary to me but I have slightly less of a problem with her than Tessa. Zazie is at least hot and seems somewhat athletic
Joshua Russell

Gavin Gomez

Evan Fisher

Eli Phillips
You don't change the iconic aspect. Period. That's why black Nick Fury is ok; they kept the eye patch which is iconic. Heimdhal is just a helmet and armor so nothing iconic to really violate.
Valkyrie, on the other hand, is iconic for looking like a swedish milk maid. The blonde braids ARE Valkyrie. Casting her as anything else is not OK. May as well cast her as a man or a cat.
Same applies to Domino. The iconic aspect is the white makeup /w black spot and short dark hair. Could be any race but don't change the icon.
Changing these things is like changing Hulk's color. It's pretentious hollywood producers/directors playing "LOOK AT ME" with beloved characters. They saw Burton get good press (sigh) for Batman and now it's a template.
fuck this shit

>bc these ppl weren't white, they must've been black
you're stuck in your stupid duality. either way, you inherited a religious tradition that has nothing to do with Vikings or nords or whatever ancestry you claim to belong and adapted it to your ethnic group by removing the hebrew names and replacing them with something more culturally acceptable. who's to say this didn't also happen in regard to Vikings and their lore? also, how about you stop taking fictional characters and settings literally. we'd all be better off if you flexed that weak muscles lodged within your skull from time to time OR you could go this route:
after explaining how Valkyrie should be white, explain how it would also make sense for her to have conversations with the Hulk and Iron Man?
Alexander Anderson
the top half of her face is good enough it's the huge jaw that does her in
Aiden Clark
Not him, but these are parts f why I say Dopisney shits all over the lore that old-school comics fans loved, and I think that's part of the point you're missing.
These aren't supposed to just be infinitely malleable characters from myth. They have well-known comic-book incarnations that, like it or not, are firmly entrenched in the minds of both casual as well as hard-core fans. They have lore, their own mythology, and their own metaphysical cosmology associated with them. Disney jettisoned all of what made these characters cool to their fans and didn't even have the good grace to pay lip-service to their appearance in a lot of cases.
Jacob Davis
Why would a god have to look like the people who worship him?
Easton Lopez
>They have lore, their own mythology, and their own metaphysical cosmology associated with them.
I totally understand that argument to a point, but the other user was arguing on behalf of an adherence to some cultural tradition or heritage that not even he subscribes; just another amorphous white genocide argument for another knuckle-dragger.
These comics were created to appeal to certain groups- that group has grown and become more diverse. Not unlike religions being adapted to reflect their population, so goes the creations of pop icons and stories. Our generation learned of these characters differently than the current one, however, as long as the themes remain the same, then nothing that matters is really obstructed.
Ian Myers
Why even have this character at all?
Why couldn't they just have Thor, Hulk, and Idris Elba?
Gabriel Cook
Here's the thing, yeah, a traditionally white character/mythological figure is black, yada yada...
But she's just plain looking. If she's a valkyrie, she should be BEAUTIFUL, yes? Why did they get an average-above average actress for this role?
