Thanks for letting me know how you feel about my ancestors being nearly physically genocided, and my grandparents being nearly culturally genocided by boarding schools!
Sorry... my give a damn Is busted. After decades of people telling me that I'm to blame for every fucking thing that ever went wrong on the face of the earth because I'm a white male, I'm all out of fucks to give. I had nothing to do with what happened to your ancestors, I'm not responsible for what happened to your ancestors just like you're not responsible for what happened to my ancestors so stop acting like I owe you something.
If you have a grievance with British colonialism, take it up with the British, not me. If the director here wants to get political and talk about colonialism, maybe he should have this discussion with the British instead of fucking with Norse mythology in a sci fi movie and altering the backstory to fit his agenda.
Hold on there with those goalposts lest you make it over the border!
The point was that because the Asgardian people did not reckon with their own legacy of colonialism, that their leaders hid it from them and told them that they were great, it came back to bite them in the ass. Asgard, as a place, was not blowing up colonialism. Asgard as a place was a victim of Odin's purposeful blindness; the Asgardian people just as much victims as well. This was not a repudiation of the Asgardian people in the least.
Sutr is from one of the Nine Realms that were conquered; he's basically trying to go get vengeance on Odin and Asgard
I'm impressed by how easily you can mentally distance destroying a nation from harming its people. You're essentially pretending as if destroying Asgard doesn't affect the asgardians, or that somehow Collective punishment for the sins of the ancestors from..what ?10,000 years ago is somehow Justified.
So what if 10,000 years ago Odin conquered the warring people of the nine realms. Have you noticed how none of them are exactly peaceful? This is the equivalent of the biggest baddest most powerful native tribe going to war and subduing nine other native tribes and ultimatly improving the lives of countless Generations. 10000 years later Odin's daughter escapes from prison and now every living asguardian must go into Exile and have their home destroyed as penance for Odin bringing peace and order to the Galaxy?
By that measure every race, every Creed, every single political entity in the Marvel Universe is guilty of the crimes of every one of their ancestors and should likewise be held to answer for anything any of their ancestors ever did wrong.
What Odin may or may not have done happened so long ago that no one in the Galaxy remembered it but him Hela and maybe Sutr. They are all dead or gone, why should every living Asgardian be held to suffer exile ......for whatever the hell unnamed sins this director implied Odin may or may not have committed?
If we uphold the standard that all asgardians should be made to suffer because one Asgardian did something wrong a very long time ago.... by that same measure every Maori director in Hollywood should be made to suffer for the sins of every Maori to ever come before them that did something wrong.
Obviously that is a very stupid standard to uphold.
