Remember
when you see a White character getting replaced by a Black character,
when you see a male character getting replaced by a female character,
when you see a female character's sexuality getting defeminized,
when you see a straight character getting replaced by a LGBTwhatever character,
that a group of anti-White anti-male satanic rootless cosmopolitans did this.
but why do you care? its just a movie for kids. Its not for you. etc etc. Normies are so tiresome
A good response to "it's not for you" is to ask "then, who is it for?" It could potentially be very telling, if leftoids weren't all a bunch of disingenuous retards. Most normies just get confused.

I saw this earlier this week. It’s to the point that I expect this each and every time now. And what really annoys me is that she takes the role knowing that she is the 10000th race swap and she will bash fans. I hope this bombs.
It's never going to stop until Minecrafting happens.
Forgive my ignorance, but.I know about the game Minecraft but what is meant exactly when people use it in the way you are?
It's a meme. You say it after saying something that is deemed unacceptable, but has become shorthand and can stand on its own now.
For an example, you could say something like "Boy, that fucker really needs to be taken out back and shot...in Minecraft."
Ohhhh. Now I get it. Thanks
Feeding the tree of liberty
Want to know something kind of sad? Some of the designs in the animated movies were Polynesian not Scandinavian. The creators mixed the two up. So as far as the creators care, all heritage is unimportant.
My wife's dad is Icelandic. He demanded I name our biological son Thor. I love this man. My wife has decided not to share the news about the movie to him.
Basically every "island" culture in any Western media becomes Polynesian. Because they are the "boat" people in the simple mines of artists.
I guess they never heard of ancient Greeks and their boat culture.
I guess Ancient Greeks are just too pale for their eyes to be able to see them.
There are a lots of impressive maritime feats all over, but you do have to give this one to the Polynesians. They more or less topped colonization via sea until the European empires practically conquered the oceans.
If you want something the Greeks don't get recognized for in popular culture anymore, it's just how far their reach extended. Some people might be vaguely aware that the Greeks went east, but I don't think many know they made it as far east as India.
Though coincidentally, the Norse do give the Polynesians a run for their money on colonization distance, if not purely by sea. Seems like every few years, there's evidence of Norse contact deeper and deeper into Canada. That would have been as much by rivers, coasts, and land as open sea, but still noteworthy.
Christian Greeks were a very large minority in Anatolia before the Turks genocided them.
Christians ( Greeks, Assyrians, Armenians, etc ) went from 20% of the population is what is now Turkey, to less than 1% after the genocides.
Wasn't Afghanistan a Greek colony? Albeit a long disconnected one that forked off its own culture.
Greek colonists had gone east and founded towns in central Asia before the kingdoms proper had managed to get out that far, but most of the Greek influence came after Alexander conquered the region. Prior to that, the Persians held power, and they took it back a couple hundred years after his death.
Yeah I always wondered if the boy-fucking came from Greece or Persia.

Middle name Albion after my German speaking grandfather.
I mean, I agree with respecting his culture and all, but isn't that a bit too much? It'd be like me demanding that my grandchild was named "God". There would have still been other perfectly acceptable Scandinavian names, like Björn or Ivan, off the top of my head, and surely some other less stereotypical names, too.
What AgnosticTemplar said. Thor is a common name and has been passed down for generations. Heck Thor Heyerdahl became famous in the 70's for his voyages.
There are lots of Hispanics who name their kids 'Jesus'. And let's not forget that 'Muhammad' in it's various spellings is the most common name on Earth.
And I don't particularly agree with calling a kid "Jesus", either. But Thor wasn't just a prophet, like Jesus and Mohammed. He is an actual god. (I don't want to get into a discussion about how some people interpret Jesus as being God himself.) I wouldn't call a kid "Athena", "Odin" or "Zeus", either. Those are the names of gods, and it just seems strange to me to call a human being that.
Jesus isn't 'just a prophet" within Christianity. Fuck your attempted deflection.
Oh, fuck off. Would you really feel the same way about someone called "God" as someone called "Jesus"? They're clearly on different levels. And I personally find both to be names you shouldn't call children. I don't feel the same about "Muhammed", because that was just some child rapist and murderer that, for some reason, some people respect. But I find that naming someone the same name as that of a god is just arrogant.
Zeus, Apollo, and their friend Higgins
Thor is used as a perfectly acceptable name, like Athena from Greek mythology is.
And ''Jesus'' is a common name in Spanish-speaking countries.
It's a perfectly valid name, and as far as holy names go, "Jesus" is the Greek version of the name. Joshua is the Hebrew version- Jesus of Nazareth would have been known as Yehoshua/Yeshua ben Yosef in Jewish circles.
I despise the double standard, too. And, yes, before anyone says it, I know, they don't have standards, it's just a jihad. But I can still be frustrated...it's an abomination to them if a white person voices a nonwhite animated character, even though this is always played straight. It's not "whitewashed" or anything, that actor was just determined to be the best, but the character is still nonwhite. But that's still terrible and racist to these fucks.
Meanwhile, they'll gleefully replace white characters with nonwhites, while bragging about it. It's so much worse than any of this mundane shit they whine about when it goes in the other direction. Fuck these people. In theory, and if it weren't Current Year, I'd have no problem with a nonwhite human voicing a white cartoon...who the fuck cares? But it's not done in good faith, and they hate me, so fuck 'em. Fucking cultural barbarians.
When I have actually pointed out these double standards on forums or comment sections it’s like they have an infinite amount of excuses for why a white person can’t voice a non white character or why Victorian England has to look like NYC but doing a Shaka Zulu mini series with a bunch of white people playing Zulu warriors is outrageous
So long as their trans people in wheelchairs it will be ok.
Sadly that is becoming less and less satire
If they invaded a mall, how would it be different from Day of the Dead?
I can at least take solace in the fact that 99% of these types of works fail, are forgotten by the common perception in exchange for the version we all prefer, and they still aren't capable of actually taking the originals away from us yet.
That last part is important. Because so much of the media relies on FOMO, and the fact that people feel compelled to consume shit even if they don't want to.
But there is zero reason to ever even interact with this types of works, as we can simply re-consume the original that we cared about again and again indefinitely. No franchise needs to continue forever anyway, so we can just pretend it didn't.
Doesn't solve the issue from the top of them doing it, but very little of what we say or do would effect that anyway. That's something that will need to fizzle out on its own due to changes elsewhere in the culture.
It's especially easy with movies and reboots and stuff. When a currently running series gets worse and worse, it can be hard to give up on it, even if it's terrible. When they release new content after a break, it's easy to distance it from the original, since it is literally separate.
Star Wars being a good example. There's a huge difference between the original trilogy, the prequels, and the sequels. You can take or leave whichever you want, really. I saw the way the sequels were going, and never even watched past the first one. Don't feel like I missed out at all.
Exactly, and I think people need to learn that "skill" early on. Or they end up like a lot of the "Fandom Menace" who are so obsessed with Star Wars they still cannot let go how bad the sequels were, even as it clearly effects their health.
Its not even a woke thing. I fucking loved the Chronicles of Riddick movies (both 1 and 2 for different reasons), saw where the 3 was going and just didn't bother with it.

Anyhow, anyone notice how ugly most of the chicks in Wheel of Time are? It makes the hot ones look that much better. It makes whatsherface Englishlady look good, which is hard. Maybe that is the point.
That would have required me to watch it 🙃
I know Moraine was played by... 🙄 [I needed to go look this up because I actually forgot her name], Rosamund Pike but she would have looked better for the part 10 years ago when she was in The World's End (2013) from The Cornetto Trilogy or as the badgirl from Bond Die Another Day (2002) another decade before that, but now she looks visibly aged which isn't the point of Aes Sedai.
Rosamund Pike "can be made to" look hot. If any naturally hot, younger girls were close by they'd outshine her. My Queen Bee theory of precisely why most of the chicks in WoT, mainly season 1 were ugly. Of course it all falls into a larger plan of degeneracy, too.
I mentally associated the "ageless" look of the Aes Sedai with some kind of plastic surgery appearance, a slightly unnerving almost-human appearance, just slightly "off" because you can't place their age with their looks due to the treatments done.
It's like how they didn't just make Fringilla black in the Netflix Witcher show, they cast the darkest, ugliest black woman with an accent they could find for the role.
Ah yes, Fringilla, a character who is meant to be so similar in looks to Yen that the Lodge specifically sent her to literally fuck Geralt as a distraction from searching for Ciri and at one point resulted in him calling out Yen's name during one such fucking... 🙄
Could Netflix not find any more drab actresses to match after the casting of Yen? 🤔
She's like a midget. Being black is the least of her problems.
There must be characters they would hate to see fucked with ...
Anyone black really. Also alphabet characters. If you make a gay trans black woman in a wheelchair into a straight white girl with blonde hair and able bodied I could see people coming with tiki torches at the studio.
So which well-loved book/movie/franchise has all that natively?
What's funny is I do have an example: The Dark Tower, which was a movie based on Stephen King's book series. The book featured a wheelchair-bound black woman who does learn how to shoot and be a badass. You would think that would be enough diversity for woke Hollywood, but of course not. They turned the main character (white dude in novel) into a black guy.
It isn't about "inclusion" it's about erasing white people.
Which was exceedingly dumb, because the black woman had it in for whites, and it played a very big part in the story and her reactions and character growth, especially after her two personalities finally merged and she calmed the fuck down. Detta was one scary bitch.
Indeed. Her psycho side was the intelligent side which made her that much more dangerous.
Will the quran movie also feature an LGBT diverse cast?
Or is the genocide always anti-white?
At least they are doing this after they already sank the franchise with the third movie, else people might still be excited and hyped for whatever product this is.
Also, I feel like this person really doesn't understand the place of Astrid in the internet culture and what she will now be associated with. That rich bastard will now be commissioning pictures of her as a person eating pig shit and being amputated.
Because that's all anyone knows Astrid for anymore.
Huh? She was mutilated in the third film or something? (Sorry I'm out of the loop on this series)
No, there is a rich foreign guy who has commissioned an absurd amount of pictures, both porn and not, of Astrid getting tortured in various hardcore and disgusting ways. Enough that it became enough to supplant most discussion about her character in a lot of places simply because of the absurdity of just how much there is.
Wow... that's disturbing and weird.
Yeah its like the Wonderbread and deforestation guy, in that if you are an artist he will at some point try to get you to draw for him and will pay you a lot to do so.
Into the trash it goes.
