Heathen Vinlander Comment by Heathen Vinlander 1 day ago
There is something bothersome to me. Wouldnt it be ludicrous as if they made a movie about Martin Luther King and had a white man play him? Well one of MY Gods "Heimdall" will be played by a black man in the upcoming movie "Thor" - this is sacrilige and makes me sick! Respect my Gods! Damn you hollywood! Pathetic and completely unnecessary... I hate hollywood.

The only way to protest this is for an Asatru community to do so on grounds of it being insulting to their religion/heritage. Unfortunately there are already precedents of Norse deities being shown in popular entertainment far beyond their original form - Stargate SG1 for instance portrayed the Asgard race as those little gray aliens that people keep claiming they were abducted by.

I'm surprised no one thought to consider the angle that Thor had a black servant as being racist and reminiscent of slavery but the casting is in poor taste however you look at it.

The most ironic idiocy is that Heimdall is known as «The White God». Maybe the idea was precisely to avoid being called «racist», for representing a White God as being actually white.

Anyway, I would be just as outraged if Heimdall was played by a Korean or a Hindu! This is sacrilege to me!

To Collin four post down.
Etymology for Cody:The name Cody originates from the Irish Gaelic surname “Mac Oda” – believed to date to the 13th century - meaning “son of Odo” (“Odo” means “wealthy”) or the surname “Ó Cuidighthigh” meaning “descendant of Cuidighthigh.” Along the way, the name became associated with people who were helpful.


Odo is not the same as Odin.Just thought you should know.

There are a few Odinists in my area, we are affectionately known by a few people as the Swamp Vikings. Our weather is terrible, our blood thick, and pride strong. We are besieged from all sides by all manner of people, but we fight a good fight and live on. All of you feel free to add me if you wish.
