    Yeah, it's lookin' good! I hope it does well. I know it is the next piece in expanding the marvel cinematic universe. It is almost like we are slowly getting a comic book world for the big screen.

    True,I wished they had done it years ago like in the 70's or 80's Stan Lee would had become a millionaire ten times over.

    Movie based off of a comic book, with a director (Kenneth Brennaugh) that likes to cast people because of their talent, which is why Idris Elba is in the movie apart of the supporting cast.

    Yea, I'm not going to watch it. Thor is my least favorite avenger. I just don't get what people like about him. It is the same thing with wonder woman. All that god mythology talk is rubbish. I'm also not a big fan of black panther.

    Thor To Be Boycotted For Hiring Black Actor To Play White God

    Thor To Be Boycotted For Hiring Black Actor To Play White God

    By Will LeBlanc

    "That’s right. In this day and age where you can barely walk down a street without seeing hundreds of multi-cultural people, there are still those out there who think white skin makes them superior. Their most recent complaint is that Idris Elba, talented and up and coming actor, has been cast in Thor as traditionally white god, Heimdall.

    Of course, the god in Nordic mythology and in the Marvel comic book on which the movie is based is light skinned and maybe should have been left as such to be historically accurate, but the Council of Conservative Citizens (or CoCC, fitting) released this statement on their website turning a simple case of not following the source material into a racial issue and may have crossed the line in doing so:
    Norse mythology gets a multi-cultural remake in the upcoming movie titled “Thor,” by Marvel studios. It’s not enough that Marvel attacks conservative values and promotes the left-wing, now mythological Gods must be re-invented with black skin.

    It seems that Marvel Studios believes that white people should have nothing that is unique to themselves. An upcoming movie, based on the comic book Thor, will give Norse mythology an insulting multi-cultural make-over. One of the Gods will be played by Hip Hop DJ Idris Elba.

    Even though Idris Elba is in fact a hip hop DJ, when you read all of that in context you can’t help but hear the hate these white power fools are trying to preach rather than trying to make a logical argument against the casting decision."

    Council of Conservative Citizens????

    I wonder if any black conservatives sent their applications to become a member? Any of our black conservative members on WWBM.com let us know if you applied and if anyone from the organization responded to you?

    Just a note: If you look closely in the trailer, the Asgardians are multiracial which means, Idris Elba isn't the only black person in the movie.

    Check out the guards and the hand maidens in the hall of Odin (you may need a microscope).

    This was Marvel decision to go "multi-culture", why because this will be seen international as well as the state side and it's all about money. Think the recent mostly white "Robin Hood" film how was it box office take?

    Personally, I don't want to see Asgard multicultural just as I wouldn't want to see Wakanda (home of the Black Panther) with white folk walking around in the country.
