>what was the worst casting decision in the MCU?
Idris Elba as Heimdall. Not even a race thing. Just a huge waste of talent, even though Heimdall was still kind of cool.

>What was the best?
RDJ as Tony Stark. Fucking perfect casting.

Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Almost has as little charisma as Brie. Pratt's fine as Star Lord he's just given nothing to work with because of Gunn's shit meme scripts

Elba should've been Black Panther. T'Challa should've been king for years and established by CW

>worst
Michael Douglas as Pym. Nothing against him and I still liked ANTS but I cannot fathom why Pym has to be old as sin

>Best
Hurt as Thunderbolt Ross. So good they brought him back from the otherwise ignored TIH

>Idris Elba as Heimdall.
This, except it is a race thing. He's a frigging Norse god. This is PC gone overboard.

Elba is way too old for tchalla

It was kind of a waste for the first two. I don't think they gave him anything to do in the first two movies but at least in Ragnarok he did something.

The MCU loves hiring people for roles and giving them fucking nothing to do. Like Angela Bassett as Queen Ramonda. Cheadle keeps showing up but I don't even remember him doing anything in any of the movies. And Happy had a bigger role in Spider-Man than any Iron Man film.

He's in his 40s. T'Challa was like in his mid 30s during Priest's run so it's fine

I feel like Idris would've made a good M'Baku or Kilmonger if not I would like to hear him voice Beta Ray Bill

I consider the entire Thor franchise a waste.

Some of my favorite castings, big or small roles
>Clancy Brown as Surtur
>Michael Keaton as Toomes/The Vulture
>Chris Evans as Captain America
>Josh Brolin as Thanos
>Paul Rudd as Scott Lang

>This, except it is a race thing. He's a frigging Norse god.
user a God doesn't have to have the sane skin color as you. The Gods aren't tied down to our races anyway. Baldr can have a jew knows for all we nose

Nigga, they're not nordic humans. They're aliens. It doesn't matter what color any of them are.

>Odin is half giant
>Loki’s children include a girl that looks like Two-Face, a giant snake, and a wolf that will end the world
>Heimdall in mythology has nine mothers

God forbid he be black. THAT’S the most unrealistic thing that could happen to Heimdall. Heimdall can have nine mothers, but make him black?? Unrealistic. Get fucked, faggot.

Lets also add on that this ASIAN MAN is Asgardian.

>Cheadle keeps showing up but I don't even remember him doing anything in any of the movies.
He did save the president in IM3, get crippled in CW, and then deal the most damage to the Black Order's forces in IW until SW and Thor showed up. But he sorely needs a show on Disney+.

>I feel like Idris would've made a good M'Baku or Kilmonger
Abso-fucking-lutely but I'm glad we got Winston Duke and MBJ instead.

He's technically not from Asgard. He's from Vanaheim, right?

I like the idea of him as Beta Ray Bill.

Because it's still based nordic mythology. People god pissy at Gods of Egypt too because WE

You types of people are the fucking worst. It’s not about realism, it’s about heimdall was WHITE in the comics and the mythology, he should be depicted as his race per the comics. Thousands of other characters to die on but you’re going to bat for fucking heimdall

Yeah but nobody remembers the name of the Warriors Three, excluding Sif if she counts.

And nobody ever cared. Meanwhile a black guy being Heimdall is cause for revolt.

Worst: I’ve never like Mark ruffalo as the hulk, he is way too old
Best: Brolin as thanos, his voice is nice and deep as thanos should be

Norse god race should have been all white.
Xoesnt make sense for a random black in a race of all other whites.
PC bullcrap

Glenn Close and Djimon Hounsou were wasted in Memes of The Galaxy

Same goes for you, idiot. Thousands of characters to give a shit about “racial accuracy” and you’re batting for Heimdall?

>WE
You do realize there were black Egyptians right? And Egypt is on the continent of Africa, so no matter what they'd always be classified as African.

“People”? You mean tumblr? Because as far as I know, people forgot about that movie as soon as it came out and now it fills up $5 bins at walmart.

Paul Rudd is my favorite casting for any superhero movie. Rewatching both Ant-Man's really showcase how good he is. Scott Lang is such a non-hero it's really refreshing. The main takeaway from his motivation is that he just wants to hang out with his daughter. I really hope he stays in the MCU after Endgame.

Because they’d never have the balls to make a black character white or vice versa. It’s selective on purpose, yet black panther can have a majority black cast, retard.

Yes now respond with the meme about how Martin Freeman and Andy Serkis were in it despite playing characters who were also white in the comics already.

how come the random chinese asgardian didn't ruffle anyone's feathers? or the fact that MCU mantis is literally a different person with the same name? or the fact that Blink of the X-Men got yellow-washed in DoFP and in The Gifted?

I may be wrong but in the comics he's still Asian and from Asgard. But if that's the case couldnt Hiemdall be from a diffrent realm as well?

Mandarin?

Because unlike Heimdall, making anyone in Black Panther white would actively destabilize the film. Why on Earth does it bother you so much that BP was able to have a majority black cast?

Also how come it was A-OK to make a Hispanic man play a character that was a White redhead in GotG?

>Buhoo my comic book movie about made up Norse gods that live with elves and giants isn’t all white but the movie that takes place in Africa has a mostly black cast. Why isn’t Black Panther a white man b’aww

Go suck your father’s dick. Maybe you won’t be a disappointment to him then.

explain this

I don't have a Best pick since the casting has been mostly great and everyone already named all the best ones, but the worst has to be that skinny Mexican nerd as Flash fucking Thompson.

>making anyone white in black panther would destabilize the film

So your argument boils down to it’s okay cause nothing in the story changes if their characters weren’t their original race? Ok then, M’baku could’ve been white, he doesn’t reside in Wakanda. You’re alright with that user?

He’s middle eastern, idiot.

Isn't he a pajeet?

You do realize Africa is a continent right? You're saying I can cast Indians in my samurai movie because they're both asian

>He's a frigging Norse god
I mean...technically he's an interdimensional alien that was treated as a god by the Norse.

The reason it doesn't make any god damn sense is Asgard's population is small as balls so you wouldn't expect genetic variation that severe.

Just incase user is retarded and needs his comic form

Casting Tilda Swinton as an elderly tibetan man is still an odd casting choice

He already is. M’Baku is also known as The White Gorilla.

Hogun isn't fucking Asgardian, dipshit.

You literally can. Some stupid autist like you might hate it, but you can do it.

You know as well as I do if marvel didn’t want china’s Money they’d of kept him the same from 616, and they still caught shit over that, proving my point.

Sunspot in the New Mutants thing that's probably never coming out
>or vice versa
Maybe I'm just sleepy but I'm pretty sure you're contradicting yourself here.

I don’t like either one of those castings. You implying it has something to do with a specific race is asnine, I actually just want characters portrayed as closely to the comics as they can be. I’d shit on them making blade a Hispanic or Asian. Why can’t I shit on heimdall being black?

>90’s film, lets see how that would work out now for them
Ok then how about in tge knew horror film a white woman is playing a Hispanic woman named Garcia or in The Beguiled a mixed race character was made white and a black character that was important in the book was completely written out the movie?

because your reasons are shallow and weak.

If we’re gonna complain about Norse “accuracy” WHY ISN’T THOR’S BEARD RED? WHY AREN’T LOKI AND ODIN STEP BROTHERS? WHY ISN’T HELA LOKI’S DAUGHTER?

>Vice versa

Yeah I goofed, I meant to say they wouldn’t change any other characters race if they were a minority, be it black, Asian, Muslim, whatever

Because that's retarded, no matter what kind of bitching there is. The race of a character doesn't matter as long as the actor that protrays them does a good job.
>inb4 muh black panther
Literally the same fucking deal

Also actual worst casting was Sir Ben Kingsley as Not Mandarin. It was a huge disservice to his talents and was such a disappointment, Marvel had to apologize with the Ten Rings short.

Fuck off with that stupid logic. I guess there were no white actors capable of portraying Max Dillon or Johnny storm? Race should be a determinant in casting unless there’s definitive potential there no matter how much you want to deny it

Right now. Mark Ruffalo as Banner. I don't know what they did to him. He can't do comedy and shouldn't. He's portrayed as an idiot when he's a genius. Hemsworth might be the same but only because he's a comedic actor and Thor does not have a major need for it. It detracts from his mythology.
Best is probably Chris Evans as Captain America.

Someone, somewhere is frothing at the mouth at this bait.

>Race should be a determinant in casting unless there’s definitive potential there no matter how much you want to deny it
It shouldn't and saying actors shouldn't be cast on thier acting but race is dumb as shit.
I could but then I wouldn't be here
WHY ISN'T LOKI GETTING FUCKED BY A HORSE TO TRICK A GIANT

idk, but a similar thing happened to me with the guy playing Gargan.
It wasn't until the after credit scene tat I realized he was Vaas in Far Cry 3 and the guy from Better Call Saul

WHERE WAS THE SCENE WHERE LOKI AND THOR DRESSED IN DRAG AND RUINED AN OGRE’S WEDDING?

I have more problems with Thor not being accurate to his expansive lore in comic books. Wasted opportunies tbqh.

That was actually an Age of Ultron deleted scene.

yeah where the FUCK is Donald Blade besides a three second easter egg in Dutch Tilt: The Movie

>saying actors shouldn’t be cast on their abilities but their race is dumb as shit

And where did I say that you dolt? I said it should be a determinant. If a white guy and a black guy both are auditioning for hobgoblin and they’re of equal talent the white guy should get it because he resembles the character. Do you need to retake reading comprehension classes?

WHY WASN'T YMIR A HERMAPHRODITE

WHY WASN'T RAGNAROK LITERALLY THE TWILIGHT OF THE GODS

>And where did I say that you dolt?
>Race should be a determinant in casting unless there’s definitive potential

I don't think you lnows what this word means.
>If a white guy and a black guy both are auditioning for hobgoblin and they’re of equal talent the white guy should get it because he resembles the character.
Then doesn't that mean by your logic they just went with the better actor who just so happened to not be white? An qctor shouldn't get a boost for being a certin skin color as a character.

WHY DOESN'T THOR HAVE TWO SONS??

WHY DOESN’T THOR GO AROUND DESTROYING CHRISTMAS STORES FOR SELLING MISTLETOE TO AVENGE BALDUR

Why hasn't Baldur come up in the MCU?

I feel like race matters depending on the context of the character. It would be weird to have Red Skull played by a black actor.

A behind the scenes look at what Ragnarok footage looked like before adding CGI

Attached: ragnarok.png (645x370, 494K)

For the same reasons Sleipnir hasn’t shown up in the MCU.

WHY ISN'T THE ENTIRE EARTH MADE OUT OF YMIRS SKIN?

Wikipedia says his parents are from Guatemala (that's in Central America (that's below the real America)).

Red Skull's nationality is strictly tied to his character so of course they're not going to do that.
Heimdall tho? of course. Asgard is not real country so they can do whatever they want with it. whoever doesn't understand this is really behind the times.

Determinant because it would solve who gets the part, if that hurts to hear then too fucking bad. Actors should get boosts when it comes to cape characters because they’re playing a character with pre established no matter if it’s a fictional one. There are exceptions to that rule but few and far between.

Ok pleb

Similar situation to Idrus Elba, Djimon Hounsou in guardians/ captain marvel. The guy is fine in his part, but he needed to play a character that had much more screen time. The guy is criminally underused.

>Determinant because it would solve who gets the part, if that hurts to hear then too fucking bad.
It doesn't because it's retarded acting ablitiy is the only thing that matters
>>Actors should get boosts when it comes to cape characters because they’re playing a character with pre established no matter if it’s a fictional one.
No they shouldn't, some characters don't even have set races or are even human like Starfire so they should get a good actor instead of a good racial copy since one doesn't exist.

>I may be wrong but in the comics he's still Asian and from Asgard.

Unless they retconned it they picked him up on one of their adventures. He's not from Asgard. Even in the movie they showed that.

Is that marvel now?

>acting ability is the only thing that matters
I guess Peter Dinklage could be a killer spider-man then with that narrow a thought process.
>some characters don’t even have a set race so they should get a good actor, like starfire
Are you just trying to appear woke to look cool or get (you)’s? Cause if you aren’t then you should know starfire was drawn after a Latina. Certain characters have distinguishable features so they should try to cast with that in mind but aliens aren’t a big deal so I ultimatey agree there, notice I haven’t brought up Korath at all, I don’t give a fuck he was black he was an alien

Nah, Boseman is great as T'Challa. Not to mention he's much cuter.

Ben Kingsley is technically Asian, also not the real Mandarin.

To be fair, they also had an Asian norse god in the same vein. Both didn't make any sense, I don't know wtf they're doing.
Ironically in Ragnarok, they have him spend half the film running away and he steals a valuable sword while he's at it, so there's that for not being stereotypical.

Worst was Paul Rudd Antman

He cant carry a franchise

>Both didn't make any sense
That's not what "make sense" means.

Wasting Robert Redford

I think his character was utilized pretty well. What was he supposed to do? Fisfight Cap?

RENT FREE

>Michael Douglas as Pym.
hard disagree. The movie was always going to be about Scott in order to distance from the slap meme. Micheal Douglas exceeded my expectations on how an accurate Pym could be done in live action. He was shown to have barely controllable rage quite a few times and I love it.

Sleipnir was in Thor 1 when Odin goes to Jotenheim and pulls Thor out. Just one quick scene so easy to miss

>but he just comes off as another snarky, quippy guy.
i put that more on the script than him

used to be, until the fucking invasion of the alt-right

It's always fun to bring up Heimdall. /pol/ gets assblasted and Yea Forumsmbler is so dead set on justifying the BBC casting that they pretend they don't care about race anymore.

I honestly don't think it's a THAT big of a deal but I do think it's a bit silly to go out of your way to cast a black dude as a Norse god. Same as if they cast a white guy to play Anansi on American Gods.

It's also weird how nobody brings up the fact that we simply want to see the characters we're familiar with. That includes their appearance.

There is a visual component to ethnicity though, which is probably more relevant than their fictional lineage (backstory?), given that both comics and movies are visual mediums.

worst Jane Foster
best is really fucking hard cause they've gotten so many really good. Paul Rudd as Scott is probably who I have to go with

Jesus Christ.

>Same as if they cast a white guy to play Anansi on American Gods.
not at all, in American Gods Anansi is constantly talking about slavery and about how shit on the black man is. There is nothing about racial history and politics in Thor. Also, the casting for the gods on American Gods is based as fuck, Anansi is fucking perfect

I cringe at all the new spidermans.
Perhaps the casting is not that bad since in the story hes a manchild with daddy issues. Id prefer SM to be more cool headed and serious.

wasted:
Mads, Pace and Ecclestone

Miscast:
Tchalla was the worst guy in the movie. Yeah. Her sister, but he was the lead.
Widow obviously shouls not have been cast with a woman that seems made out of marshmallow.
Jane Foster should have been someone more professional and beautiful so we would believe Thor falling for her and the actress would stick around.
Valkyrie was terrible, her range: smug.
The Grandmaster was also lame.

Steve Rogers was very well cast.

>The Grandmaster was also lame
um, I ah, am afraid, you are, ah, mistaken....sir

Read the first part of the sentence you silly goose. I'm saying both would be equally silly to me. It's just my personal perspective on the matter.

My underlying point is that most people want to see the characters we're familiar with. And obviously, in the visual mediums that are comics and films, their appearance plays into that. It's understandable if someone doesn't like some casting choices where the ethnicity is flipped around.

And eh. I like him, it's a fun take on the character for sure, but it's not really what I had in mind when I read the book (he's also not even close to being as race baity and war mongering in the books as he is in the show). I like Shadow's casting, even though I imagined him just a bit more ethnically ambiguous. He's also not as stoic as I imagined him. I didn't like the Slavic god's casting. I seem to be the only one that thinks so though.

>Valkyrie
It felt like she was thrown in for brownie points desu. You could CGI in some literal empty void to take her place and it wouldn't change much.

Did Asgard extra's in the movies even have black or Asian people? I remember them mostly being distinctly white which makes Heimdall and Hogun kinda weird

Hogun had his own relm of asian tribes, they show them in Dark World

Nah, I'm glad Portman didn't stick around because Thor should be with Sif anyway.

Excluding Captain Marvel the movie, or the character? If it's just Brie, I say worst casting is an old lady as Mar Vell.
If the whole movie is excluded, I'd go with the girl who plays Shuri.

While on the subject of Asgard and aliens, and its relevance to their ethnicity, have we gotten any explanation(s) regarding the Norse pantheon MCU origins and how it ties into our religion and perception of them? Beyond the fact that they're aliens. Did they basically do the Earth X version?

I can't remember anything from the movies when it comes to world building.

They came to Earth in the past. The frost giants invaded Earth in Norway in the 10th century or so, and Asgard came to send them back to their planet. At some point Odin hid the Tesseract in Norway as well, and he had some kind of relationship with Agamotto, because he's got one of his relics in the Vault; it's even possible he gave Agamotto the Time Stone, if that theory about Odin gathering the Stones is true.

Forgot to say, humans saw the Asgardians come from the sky and shit and obviously thought of them as Gods.

I hope they bring the whole bunch of the TV shows closer to the fold when Disney+ gets going, not so much because muh canon/non-canon but because they just won't find a better Daredevil, Kingpin and Punisher than Cox, Donofrio and Bernthal. Dex/Bullseye was pretty good too.

>Excluding Captain Marvel
It was a good casting.

Worst: that faggot who was the Flash in JL.

Oh em gee, you posted a dead womyn queen! TRIGGERED~!!!

They could easily find a better Punisher, and the Netflix versions of Luke Cage and Iron Fist were garbage.

Hemsworth. They were going for a Shakespearean, epic, serious approach with the character, but it turned out they cast someone who couldn't play that character at all, and they had to turn him into a comedy character to fit what Hemsworth could actually do well. But he's incapable of playing the character they originally wrote, and that's bad casting.

>I can't imagine how fucked one's brain must be to get offended at the sight of non-whites getting roles in film
I can't imagine how fucked your brain must be to not understand that casting a black guy as a norse god is retarded and insulting.

I think it's two years before Disney can use them in any way again.

They could probably find a better Kingpin and Punisher desu. I honestly don't get why everyone wets themselves over Vincent D'Onofrio's portrayal of Fisk.

And definitely a better Cage and Iron Fist. Luke Cage looked he didn't wanna be in his own show. And IF was hilariously miscast.

Klaw’s character in BP comics is so goofy looking, I’m glad they went with this for an adaptation. Serkis is a god damn gem.

Marvel Thor=/Norse myth Thor but I understand your point.

spbp I don't know why everyone pretends that she's good in the role

Isn't he a poo?

Probably Mads Mikkelsen as a random villain when they just had to bide their time until they got the rights for Dr. Doom.

fuck you

A premise: I don't really give a fuck about this and I think people pushing for accuracy in a fucking superhero movie should urgently reexamine their life.

That said, Heimdall was described as the palest of the gods. Let's not pull a Rowling here, it was a PC move, they just did it intellige tly and picked a good actor for a decent movie, unlike, say, F4.

Some of the best casting was for Tony Stark, Ultron, Vulture, and Spider Man.

I really really liked the voicing of Ultron, I'm sad they didn't do more with that movie like they should have.

>we will never have red skull played by a black man with white man makeup over his skull
waste of a timeline

Black Panther has a majority black cast because it's FUCKING AFRICA.
You're a retard AND a motherfucking racist. Fuck you.

He's terrible and fat.

Djimon Hounsou is a pretty shit actor though. He has a lot of presence, but he can't deliver a line for shit. I think his accent covers that up a lot and people forgive him for it, but other actors with thick, non-english accents are able to deliver lines much more believably than him (Jackie Chan, Selma Hayek, Christoph Waltz for example). He almost always over-annunciates, emphasizes the wrong syllables, and speaks with a weird canter. For evidence of this, just check out "You're wearing Ravager garb" or "Say my name so my powers may run through you". He delivers simple lines way over the top and with a clunky cadence.
Dude's a mediocre actor coasting off of Amistad and is doing a great job excusing it with his accent.

>he thinks Wakanda is real
Shutup bitch nigga it’s as fake as Asgard lmao

Tchalla was great in Civil War and Infinity War, he was just shit in his movie because underwrote the entire thing. Boseman is a fine actor, but he wasn't given anything to do in his film. Look at the lines he's given in that film compared to pretty much any other character, he's pretty much a supporting role.
Actually, I think most of these problems come down to writing and direction. Portman is beautiful and a great actress, but she was given no good place in the films and no growth, which eventually got her written out. Valkyrie was written to be generic tuff gurl. I loved Grandmaster though.

Your point doesn’t count when it was to appease China and not “lets make this character white because we can”. You’re no better than that trog who said mandarin, yeah because a character that was a stereotype of Asians was going to still be Asian, moron. They were made white to avoid backlash not create it, stop cherry picking

This would be pretty great.

At least Scarlet made for good eye candy in the early MCU films, unlike Brie "where did my ass go" Larson.

>Idris Elba as Heimdall. Not even a race thing. Just a huge waste of talent, even though Heimdall was still kind of cool.
this is less a matter of miscasting and more a matter of misusing.

Elba is good enough of an actor he could have sold Black Heimdall quite easily

>>Michael Douglas as Pym.
I don't agree, he's been GREAT as Old Man Pym

She sold it VERY well, though

Zoe Saldana isn't very good as Gamora. Karen Gillian is great as Nebula though.

>worst
Tessa Thompson as Valkeirye, has nothing to do with her race I just find her very unattractive and dislikable in the role, she has no charm at all
>best
Rudd as Lang or Brolin as Thanos

>or the fact that Blink of the X-Men got yellow-washed in DoFP and in The Gifted?
Better than the AWFUL afro black Blink we got now.

Eat the Blu-Ray manchild

nigggeeeeeeeeer nigger east nigger

>Michael Douglas as Pym
I wish we got a Godfather 2 type story of Old/Young Pym and his exploits. Douglas does such a good job playing an over-the-hill Pym who's already kind of learned his lesson.

>Tibetan

I THINK YOU MEAN MOUNTAIN REGION CHINESE. GLORY TO THE CCCP.

But yeah, China does not like the acknowledgement of Tibet, especially since Winnie the Pooh took over. Hence why the training ground is in Nepal, not Tibet

>Ecclestone

This. Why would you introduce dark elves into the franchise and make Eccelstone their leader if you're not actually going to let him do anything menacing or funny? You could ad lib lines from Doctor Who, and it'd be better than the dialogue they gave him.

>If he's a dark elf, why does he have a British accent?
>Lots of realms have a 'Britain'

>Clever me, I picked up another stupid ape

>You tore his hand off!
>Yep. Check it out, Plasti- oh wait no, that's flesh.

>Hold on a minute, you just killed my mother, you can't go swanning off!
>Yes I can, this is me and Kurse, swanning off. See ya!

>What's the plan then? You going to do a scan for the all-father?
>Lieutenant, we just hit Asgard with a very loud bang. I'm going to go ask.

>You're pleading for mercy from the lips of a soon to be dead race

>You were here millenia ago?
>Yep
>Looking good on it
>I moisturise

>If you're not holding us hostage, then let us out, the soldiers are terrified!
>The descendants of the same soldiers that murdered my race?
>It's not their fault, they were just doing their jobs
>And with that sentence, you've just lost the right to a tongue.

Rather than

>Asgardian. I have come to destroy the world before my overdose on botox and horse tranquiliser kicks in. Give me my black box.

Elba would have made a great Tchaka

>Excluding Captain Marvel
Cope

best: RDJ Obviously
worst: there are so many to choose from, but i'm gonna go with Ruffalo since he is one of the original avengers. i cant shake the feeling that he is constantly trying to hold back laughter when saying his lines. completley ruins any scene he is in.

No, he was on the ferry when Vulture smashed a motorcycle into his face.
That's why in the post credit scene, he says to Toomes "I don't blame you for this."

Who is gonna play Kamala in her movie? I would say she has to be an actual Pakastani Muslim girl, but Marvel will 100% cast a hot Indian Hindu 37 year old.

>And Happy had a bigger role in Spider-Man than any Iron Man film.
Well to be fair, he was too busy directing most of those Iron Man films.

so where are the blue, red, green asgardians?

It would help if he wasn't quipping and making that stupid face. It's hard to take that angle seriously.

Asgardians still are limited to human phenotype expressions.
Or, rather, humans and asgardians are both limited to a common set of phenotypes.
