By the power of Asgard!

So, it's interesting to note that they are making a film about everyone's favourite God of Thunder, Thor.  Granted, it's his Marvel incarnation and not the proper mythological variety, but the Viking sentiment is still present.  Marvel Thor's exploits generally centralise between him and his half brother Loki (the God of Mischief) slap fighting until Thor inevitably wins because he isn't fuck ugly and has a much cooler power than 'Mischief'.  Thrown into the mix is Thor's egocentric dad Odin (God of everything), Heimdall (The God of Light) and Kratos (God of W- NO! that's not right.

So why am I talking about a superhero based around Norse mythology?  To anyone it sounds like the world's most expensive fan fiction.  In truth, it's because Thor has come under attack by the ignorant white men across the planet! Why? Because Heimdall is black.

Yes, the god of light is black.  OUTRAGEOUS! How dare they change Norse mythology to suit their own ends! The cads!  Especially given how relevant Norse mythology is in today's standard affair of things.  Also, because it is considered one of the big religions along with Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Stupid Idiotism and Scientology!

Basically, what my sarcasm implies is that this is absolutely ridiculous.  In fact, it's worse than ridiculous, it's hypocritically ridiculous.  These people are annoyed that the God of Light is depicted as Black, but not by the fact that Norse Mythology has been chronicled into a comic book form?

These people use such eloquent phrases such as 'Some things shouldn't be tampered with' and 'Oh you can't escape political correctness these days!'.  The fact is, people believe that the Norse God's appear the way they do because that's how the Vikings perceived them.  And the Vikings believe the Norse God's looked the way they did because like any stupid religious person for the time, they assumed that their Gods looked like them.  And coincidently, there were no black Vikings.

Now, were there black Vikings, brown Vikings, Blue Vikings, Purple Vikings; chances are the Gods wouldn't be exclusively white.  But people don't like to think outside of their comfort zone about such things, and would much rather assume that all Norse Gods were white, because fate dictates that it be so.  And clearly this credible logic is so profound and accepted because Norse mythology is still so relevant today!  It's not like Marvel made comics and films about Thor because the idea of a super powered Viking wielding a giant Hammer and Thunder was fucking cool.

On an unrelated note, I'm going to pen a new comic series based off the events of the Bible.  But I'm going to draw Jesus as white and not Jewish.
