if knowing a bunch of dead white authors, and none from other backgrounds and nationalities makes them cultured, so be it :smt102
Hey it was all in fun and thanks for being a good sport. Some of the idiots on here took it way too seriously lol
Lol fair enough. You should educate the less informed or are you too busy benching mac trucks nigga lol
im just saying..there are other great authors that get no love, because they're not english or german
Oh yeah I totally agree. I said I didn't like Shakespeare and some of these idiots acted like I said I fucked their mothers. There are American writers that'll I put up against any European. In fact the best works of the 20th century came from the Americas.
Dang Petty, give me a break. I like Achebe, Dostoevsky, Machado, Coelho and more. You're a tough critic, fam.
Damn, you guys have writing sounding like an episode with Joe Rogan, Team Lesnar and the rest of the gang. LOL
that's a bad thing? I respect the guy based on his knowledge of MMA. You can really learn from the guy as far as verbal instruction goes. he may not understand Boyle's Law, or be able to recite the last paragraph in the opening chapter of Crime and Punishment, but he definitely knows other stuff.
I will agree only if it's specific to the mythology that Heimdall is a personification of a human being. But if he is like the ice giants of Jotunheim or something, he is not bound by the specific phenotype of a Nordic guy because many of the immortals are beings, not people in the narrow sense. If, however, he's supposed to be like Thor's cousin or something, like Loki and Balder the Brave, then he would need to be Nordic. And again, this is a comic book, not a faithful representation of the Norse legend. The mythical Thor of legend wasn't hanging around with the Incredible Hulk and fighting Galactus.
True and if your going to bitch about one guy they should be bitching about the lead not being nordic either.
That's what I'm saying, it should be all nordic, I think it's a matter of respect, I'm sure some people would be pissed off if they made a movie about African Mythology and cast non-African actors. Norse mythology, Nordic actors...
But that's the point the movie is based on a comicbook, the Marvel Universe not Norse Mythology so they're well within their rights to change shit.
