The Big Picture: Skin Deep

[norwegian-guy]

I'd like to point out a few inconsistensies with Marvels Thor in comparison to the nordic god Tor and the nordic religion:
-Mjölnirs handle is meant to be too short due to an accident when it was made(caused by Loki), it is only long enought for one hand.
-Loki is Odins bloodbrother, not his adoptive son.
-Tor didn't use a winged helmet as vikings didn't use winged helmet, or horned helmets for that matter.
-Odin didn't loose his eye in battle, but sacrficed it for wisdom.
-Odins spear dosen't shoot lasers, but hits whatever target the wielder aims at.
-Tor didn't use plate armor since vikings didn't have plate armor.
-Odin had many, many sons. Not just 2.
And people complain about a black guy playing Heimdal? I mean, it's not even the most noticable inconsistency with the sourcematerial.

I have to disagree with this video. To say that because of the atrocities of our ancestors we are to be held to a double standard is pretty much guaranteeing we never move on as the human race. We can't move forward that way. It keeps the wound open. I'm not saying we forget it, but we did not do what are ancestors did. That being said...

Goku is not Asian. He's an alien. He is never made to look Asian. Ever. There are Asians in Dragon Ball. The Asian animators made the Asian characters look borderline to straight out stereotypical Asian. Goku was a Saiyan.

If anything the reason Goku was hated by anyone I know who watched it is because the actor didn't play Goku as Goku. They turned him into a whiny teenager. Goku is confident. Goku is determined. Goku doesn't back down.

Also, If there is a black fictional character that has a very specific demeanor that is key to identifying that character, and you can't find a black actor to fit that but you can find a white actor who can. I want the essence of the character preserved.
