@Supermegafedor @matrix Humanity restored.

@Supermegafedor @matrix They chose not to do this They chose... "diversity"...

@Mac_CZ
You forgot /s

@matrix ?

@Mac_CZ
I don't consider "It's just fantasy" a serious answer when you are taking an already existing mythos.
The Norse were and still mostly are white, they would have imagined all the human-like characters as white (unless explicitly stated otherwise).
You have 10 arrows pointing in 1 direction and 1 pointing nowhere and your answer is "The arrows can point anywhere lmao, who cares".

All the depictions of the Bible piss me off for the same reason.

@matrix But Ice giants are not Norse. They're monsters with different looks. And for example Surtr is black for sure.

@matrix Angrboda's kids are giant wolf and giant snake/worm. I've never imagined her as human lookalike at all.

@Mac_CZ @matrix Are you attempting to say they're portraying black women as inhuman monsters?

@galena @matrix That's somehow exactly what they're doing. 😂

@Mac_CZ
But she looks like a human without any indication that she's not one. Ice giant should be shades of light blue (inhuman), or white, not an African American.

Surtr means black but is related to fire and ash, but I guess that could work.

@matrix Yeah, blue would be nice, or gray like rocks.

@matrix But point is that ice giant can look like anything. Anything somebody imagines is valid.

@Mac_CZ
But then her being an ice giant/being called is completely irrelevant.

@matrix @Mac_CZ
God of war will never be complete till you get the chance to fight Alah, Jehova and Budha.

@LukeAlmighty @matrix I'm not sure if Budha would be challenge.

@Mac_CZ @matrix
Jesus then?

@LukeAlmighty @matrix Also not a fighter

@LukeAlmighty @matrix Mohammed was a warrior and had winged horse. That would work nicely.

@Mac_CZ @LukeAlmighty @matrix Christians don't know about most of Jesus' human lifetime. So here is the possibility Jesus can be a good fighter. There should be nothing he can't do. ;)
Mohammed was mere human, but fighter nevertheless. But it is halal to make a film (or even a picture) of him or Alah fighting.
And Budha was supposed to be a soldier in his human youth.

*haram

@zatrsakr @Mac_CZ @LukeAlmighty @matrix Tradition has it, that Jesus was pretty swoole from physical labor.

@zatrsakr @LukeAlmighty @Mac_CZ @matrix And since we are certain Christ has always existed, we know for sure that he has a liking for Warriors who fight against his enemies. He was also King, prophet and high priest in one person. So surely qualified to fight. Yet he didn't, because he didn't come to earth for that. For a more qualified answer bother a Orthodox Hierarch.

@maxmustermann @LukeAlmighty @matrix @Mac_CZ GoW: Come, fight me Jew!
INRI: Nah, I didn't come to Earth for that.
GoW: Ok, bye.

@matrix @Mac_CZ I guess my question is why would they be dark skinned but be ice giants, like, humans at least develop dark skin because of sunlight.

These ice giants live in the tropics or something? Seems odd for ICE giants.

@shebang @matrix Ice giant is just bad translation. Jötunn were different sizes and looks. Maybe troll would be more accurate.

@shebang @matrix Some of them could be beautiful.

@shebang @matrix From biological point of view light skin needs less light to produce vitamin D, so it's good in places, where there's not much sunshine, like woods, cloudy places, lots of rain or snow. Dark skin protects against UV, so places with lots of sunshine. Ice plains, where ice giant would live, can have lots of sunshine. And for example polar bears have completely black skin. So I'd say dark skinned Angrboda makes sense.

@Mac_CZ @matrix That could make sense then, sure

@matrix @Mac_CZ Sutr would have been the giga chad face but more blacker. These were the myths and legends of people who have never even seen a black. Every humanlike face would have been European in it's phenotype.

@Binkle @matrix It's amazing how hard they are pushing the whole "Black norseman" shit these days as well as the whole "shieldmaidens were brave warriors".

I bet they don't even know the vikings were more like seasonal raiders (3 months of the year usually) and the fabled berserks were warriors who were drugged out of their fucking minds used as shock infantry (they were usually depicted as naked warriors that bit on their shields)

@Binkle @matrix It's just blasphemy. There's no reason to partake.
