There's this group that wants you to boycott this movie because they OMG cast Thor as white, and that's SO WRONG because THOR was NORSE and therefore WHITE, and I guess I can see that, yeah (although the only Thor I've ever met in real life was a little boy with an Icelandic mother and an African-American father, so there you go), but they're ignoring the much greater issue here.

In their quest for historical accuracy they seem to have forgotten something much more important than petty issues of race: VIKINGS DIDN'T WEAR HORNS ON THEIR HELMETS! Why would they do something so stupid? That's like giving your enemy a great handle to grab! But this group is okay with dumb and ahistorical fashion choices that make Thor and the Vikings look like twits, just so long as they're all white twits, is that it?

That's just wrong.
