While casting a black actor as Heimdall was wrong, I think Idris Elba did a great job. But I agree, when it comes to folklore and history it makes perfect sense to respect it and cast the right people for the roles. Even with comics, just stick with the source material if you pretend to care about it. Can you imagine Leonardo DiCaprio as Blade? 🤣 He can surely deliver the lines and act amazingly, but... it would make no sense.
My main issue with all these remakes is that it looks like someone doesn't care at all about creativity, and they simply use something at hand to push some agenda. And they probably also want to piss people off. Are we really stuck in a loop, having to rehash the same old stories on and on and on?! Seriously, I get the appeal of some new movie about an old princess story, but how about new stories, new heroes, new stuff? What will the movie makers 100 years from now make movies about? Cinderella, played by a Martian? Where are the cool heroes and stories that will be worth shown and retold a century from now? Sure, we have some (though I have a hard time thinking about any), but we're still flooded with the same old stuff done differently. And unfortunately, worse, with political garbage inserted in it.
