EDIT: whats said below does not apply to the F-tard CCC losers.
Personally i can understand some of the anger/frustration. An aspect of it doesnt stem from racism at all, but simply comic book purism. People who want the movies to transition from the comic books with a smallest amount of deviation from the storyline.
So the comic based on nortic myothology(where all the gods are white) is made into a movie a black man is chosen for a role of one of the Gods. That alone is a pretty big deviation from the where the comic is based. Will it stop me though? eh i could give two ****s about it. Would be different if they cast thor with a non-white person. It'd likely turnout the same way as the Catwoman movie(if you ignore the plot being ripped off from "the crow")
There are similar arguements being made because there are rumors about beyonce playing the role of Wonder Woman(if its ever made??) and IMO those arguements are valid.
Just proves there are stupid people everywhere and on both sides of the aisle if you will. I find it funny.
It reminds me of the calls to boycott The Golden Compass because it was anti-Christian. The Golden Compass is actually anti-Catholic especially but anti-religion in general. The question I like to pose in response is so what? Yet, there's all the people terrified of a movie demanding it be pulled or boycotted. Fun times, lol.
