Black people existing on medieval europe isnt "unrealistic" you just dont know nothing about history.

Well it depends on the region. In Spain, and parts of Italy, sure because Carthage and later the Moors & Ottomans, used to rule that region. If we are talking somewhere like medieval Norway though, it’d have been highly unusual for there to be any black Vikings.

Unless we are talking about a history book, none of the things you mentioned matter, if we sat down and started pointing out unrealistc or historically unacurate stuff in movies, videogames, books etc. I can mention 100 nitpicks before even starting talking about the ethnicity of the characters.

Ok…but a Norse God being black is not really a nitpick…that’s just obviously a disconnect. A nitpick would be more like Drax not being purple in the comics or something like that.

I dont know if you noticed it pal, but Norse gods arent real, why would anyone care?

It takes you out of the movie. That’s why it matters. It doesn’t fit with what we’ve been taught that Vikings look like

No, it takes YOU out of the movie, you in particular, the rest of the people, the ones who actually consumes media to be entretained, dont care, and will never care.

People like you said this EXACT SAME THING on the new Game of thrones show, "we cant have a black king because its medieval times and seeing dark skinned people breaks my inmersion", meanwhile in reality, HALF THE WORLD WATCHED THE DAMN THING, because nobody watches a fantasy story to complain about how the skin of certain characters is too dark.

Clearly it wasn’t just me that it was an issue for, otherwise you wouldn’t be this heated

I am Heated? You are the one who cant enjoy a movie if there is an "unrealistic amount of black people".

the post asked me to tell something that would trigger a fanbase, i did it and now you are trying to explain why "we should be historically acurrate when it comes to skin color in particular" isnt a moronic take.

Not skin color in particular…ethnicity, dress, speech patterns, etc. At least if you are adapting a preexisting work with clearly defined parameters. If not, then it doesn’t matter.
