[QUOTE=skyvolt2000;5165688]Odin was bored one day and took dark clay and made a baby he named Heimdall. Worked for Wonder Woman.
Asgardians took a black boy home by accident and kept him. Worked for Howard the Duck.
Black family gets lost and somehow finds their to EUROPE and baby gets orphaned and later found by natives. He grows up with them.
And BEFORE you say no-lets see how that has worked in the past.
Tarzan, Sheena, Phantom & Jungle Girl say HI. How many white kids get orphaned in Africa and get raised by Africans????
DC Comics had 2 comic book series featuring a WHITE guy taken by Indians. One was called Scalp Hunter and the other??? JONAH HEX.
Dc also had ANOTHER comic about GODS taking Earth children and raising them. His name is Miser Miracle.
Milestone had a series about an alien who came to Earth during slavery and got adopted by black folks. It was called ICON.
Marvel had a comic book with a black lead and his ADOPTIVE brother was WHITE. This book later became a BILLION DOLLAR hit and 3 Oscar winner and it's lead just died. Yes Black Panther has a WHITE brother.
Arjay Smith's most famous role is playing an alien left on Earth and taken in by HUMANS.
NOW if all these examples and I can come up with 50 more-did not cause folks to go nuts. Why should a black Greek God be an issue????????[QUOTE]
(1) You are falsely and poorly trying to imply that entertainment based fiction characters are the same as centuries/millenia old culturally and traditionally *worshipped* mythological figures....they are complete separate and different.
(2) Unlike the last F4 movie, absolutely no reason or explanation or even a smidge of a hint was given in any of the Thor movies as to how and why a black man is an Asgardian....a black man playing a millenia old culturally exalted White European God.
Again if Elba can play a white European god then equally Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise should also play African black gods.

Because no one cares when it's NOT a black person being cast.[\QUOTE]
What's wrong is wrong... Just because people ignore it does not make it right irrespective race, gender, religion or sexuality.

Dragonball, Airbender & Prince of Persia saw backlash. As did Gods of Egypt and a few others. Some when reviews came out actually focused on the script and so on.
However the backlash they got PALED in comparison to the backlash BLACK FOLKS GOT.[\QUOTE]
The movies u mention got waaaaaay more backlash primarily for racebending before script criticism faaaar above and beyond what Elba got for playing a white european god.

Any attempt to do something with a black person and they come RUNNING out of the wood work.[\QUOTE]
Do you think the $1bn breaker success of the black panther movie was only because of black movie goers?
Is black panther the only black led and/or black majority movie in hollywood?
Of course Not.
Do blacks suffer the heaviest and highest amount of criticism in entertainment?
Yes.
But does that mean that we should also accept and participate in debasing, degrading, belittling and disgracing other people's cultural, traditional and religious mythological icons....in a manner synonymous to what was done to us blacks?
All non-white characters in that hideous Disney star wars trilogy were written badly in a non consequential , non plot relevant manner....then again even the white character Luke was also really badly written. So why are you only focusing on Finn when so many characters were badly affected by the horrid writing?Why stop there? Lets give the greatest example of all.
FINN in Star Wars. The agent of white genocide according to many. At least 3 other black guys held light sabres before him. Yet Finn set off trolls everywhere.
An original created character.
You mention Finn being an "original character" as if that's a bad thing....given how bad the trilogy was written, do you think Boyega playied as black Luke Skywalker would have been better? With that writing? Really?!?!?
