Thor is a big burly red-bearded type in the authentic tradition. <br /><br />But actually casting somebody with roots from a distant continent is taking the piss when it's an actual GOD of our Germanic ancestors he's playing. Have a Chinese Batman - I wouldn't give a toss. But casting a Swede in the role of some figure from Australian Aboriginal culture would immediately be decried. <br /><br />Ah well, mainstream media and double standards... Yawn.

That's way we want to see them on screen. <br /><br />If Hollywood wants to show us only stupid movies with stupid stories, lots of explosion and special effects and as many cliches as they can, they should also get the most atractive people on the screen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
