Fixed that for you.

Remember the controversy that happened when the first Star Wars Episode VII trailer was released?

#BlackStormtroopersLivesMatter
ahhh yes the old white males are so persecuted routine lol... Are you talking about the rage over there being a black storm trooper in the first place when the racist flag let loose in protest over this atrocity that a black storm trooper was allowed to exist in the first place?

Lol you guys are ridiculous though... You criticize others for bemoaning their lot in life when they actually have some truth behind their woes then whine all day about how tough it is to be a white guy in America... It's pretty funny and a bit sad too...
Wow, is that what you got from that?

A person makes an observation and all you do is get defensive about it.

Why don't you go back to not posting before you start more trouble like usual?
If that's what you call an observation then you'd be completely wrong in making that one... Men of all colors die on the screen and no one gives a ***so it isn't just white guys... You bring up something as ludicrous as that then call it an observation which idk you seem to think brings it legitimacy or something... Also your observation that claims I'm defensive is wrong as well and makes no sense whatsoever... What exactly am I being defensive about? Lol...

As for me not posting why don't you just continue to cry to the mods to try to get what you want? You're pretty well versed in that...

Yes, I do.

A bunch of mostly white, basement dwelling racist garbage whined that Finn was black because they felt they owned Star Wars because they were entitled *** nerds who needed a swift kick in the tenderloins.

This same minority whined about Idris Elba as Heimdall because Heimdall is a real Asgardian and Asgardians are all white. Because they're Scandinavian and Marvel cares so much about being true to ancient myths.
Look, I don't give a *** about who gets what casting. The same idiots pitched a fit when Samuel Jackson was casted as Nick Fury.

I don't care about any of that. I'm just pointing out that nobody gives a ***about white, adult men getting killed on camera, but everyone flips a ***when somebody who's not white and/or male gets killed on camera.

I mean, come on, it's fiction, not reality!

Don't forget idris Elba being too "hood" to be James Bond....

I can people would have a problem with casting a black guy as a Viking (although I think Idris was a really cool Heimdall), but James Bond? Who cares, the guy changes faces all the time.
Why though? They're not actually Vikings for one as they are not even from earth...

does Thor actually exist? Is this movie claiming historical accuracy?

It's a comic book movie and I don't see why people place so much interest on race or sex when they can just sit on their fat *** with the rest of us and enjoy watching them blow some stuff up...

I don't personally care, and I certainly don't have nerd rages over casting choices. But if they cast Black Falcon as a white guy, would you be sitting here telling us that we shouldn't care?

I did as I said your "observation" is ridiculous... It isn't only white guys and most times people don't even give a ***about women in most situations... Now pets on the other hand... People lose their ***over a dog getting the axe...

I think it's a bit naive to think seafaring conquerors wouldn't have dipped their toes. There was some article I read ages ago about genealogical ties of the people of the Orkney islands and North Africa. Since it's documented that raids stretched to the Iberian Peninsula they could have easily tangled with Moors.

People are ***' silly.

Yeah, that's what I got from the whole Finn debacle because the internet was full of ridiculous mouthbreathers making no sense but raising alot of hell over a black stormtrooper. Complete with the racial shitstorm that we're just supposed to accept as status quo on the internet.

Nevermind stormtroopers have long stopped being clones and were basically just drafted, indoctrinated people the vocal nerdship couldn't handle not seeing themselves in every character. It wasn't even a logical reaction, just a knee jerk one in the same vein that Tumblr is full of idiots who want to see clouds as somehow part of the inherent systems of oppression.

These people do no one any favors.

I consider myself to be a YUGE James Bond fan and one of the most embarassing moments in fan history was when people *** all over Daniel Craig because he was blonde and blue eyed. What the actual ***??? I mean, the guy was trashed. Over his eyes and hair. And don't get me started on people bitching that Felix Leiter was going to be played by a black guy, Jeffery Wright.

Then Casino Royale happened and the Bond series has yet to hit the heights of that movie. Craig knocked it out of the park and every dumb, scum sucking idiot talking about how someone 'looked' was forced to drink a glass of shut the *** up. Likewise, the new Felix was a refreshing, modern take on the series.

Seriously, Bond is back into a rut. Spectre was lame. Craig was right to get out of there and the series needs to throw out the mold.. again.

Really? Do you even action movie, bro?

Charles Bronson alone has taken out the population of a third world country in the Death Wish series alone. Did you even see when this guy took a minigun to the most diverse random *** thugs ever? I grew hair on my face that day. There was so much bloodshed and Reagan era propaganda I wanted to stand up and sing God Bless America as Bronson laid waste to criminal scum.

Vikings set in Russia, southern Europe and even in Africa, they were one of the populations who helped spreading cultures the most. But only the romans went to Scandinavia(kind of). Not exactly a place of great interest throughout history.

To say that only white guys get gunned down as mooks in movies show you guys clearly don't watch movies for ***.

Any movie about Asia features the most ambiguous....North Koreans ever. Most of them will be blown up, maimed, shot, stabbed, eviscerated, thrown into a meat grinder or run over with a tank.

If it's a movie about drugs, odds are some Hispanics are going to meet American diplomacy in the shape of a harpoon gun, grenade or Danny Trejo kicking so much *** you're going to want to read the guys biography about turning from a criminal into a pretty successful action star.

Is the movie in Europe? Better call out my gang of rando...Russians who aren't actually Russian but have funny accents. They smuggle women and are the offbrand white guys but sure as sunrise they too are going to be smashed against the rocks of protagonist asskickery. See John Wick, or how Keanu Reeves is one of the nicest badasses you've ever met.

Also, if you need stock baddies. Visit the black guy emporium. Half off on tall, large black guys who act as enforcers. Buy two, get both of them blown up by the protagonist half off.

To reiterate: No one cares about mooks. Period. The sole purpose of mooks is to die in some fashion so the protagonist looks like a *** badass.

Benicio del Toro was run through a chipper in Licence to Kill and not once did I stop and say "wow, they just kill a Puerto Rican guy on screen?? I'M SO OFFENDED."

I did kinda laugh when Kananga died in Bond's blaxsploitation movie because the dude turned into a balloon and exploded. No guts or anything.

Seriously, tell me you didn't laugh.

I don't know how this even partains to the conversation at hand.
And it's humorous.
And no one finds it so.
