Not familiar with the guy, but I didn't like Valkyrie at all for exactly these reasons.

I didn't like Valkyrie because she was lazily written. Oohh, tough girl that drinks beer and uses guns what a Strong Woman Character.

I don't think she was presented as "Strong Woman Character" so much as "stock bounty hunter"

"and uses guns"

FUCKING EXACTLY!

I mean besides the height issue where she doesn't look like she could lift comic book Valkyries sword, much less wield it, so I do get why they did it, but She fights with TECH! THIS IS NOT MY VALKYRIE

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they're totally different genres in totally different contexts

Seriously. I have a good chance of encountering a biased cop in real life, not so much a character from a comic book movie.

whaaaat? nuance? surely u jest

Logic? In my fandom!secrets!

It’s more likely than I thought!

This doesn't tingle my troll senses but this was posted to be provocative.

It does for me.

Wait, how do you get troll OR provocative out of it?

I have a feeling you would find that opinions are far from a consensus on both counts. Just a feeling.

Racist trolling! We haven't had that in, what, *days*? Groovy.

You assuming it’s racist because the slaver is black or

I'm not seeing the racism.

Who is the guy?

I have seen the headcanon that Asgard has slaves, or at least has a more permissive attitude towards it than we do, and frankly ... I could see that. Norse mythology can be pretty fucked up. :p

A Character from Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri.

The guy is an actor named Sam Rockwell. I haven't seen Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, but I've heard good things. He plays a cop who apparently is racist.

I seriously don't know who the guy is (and no one as of posting has seem to recognize him either) so clearly it can't have been that controversial.

It’s from one of the leading Oscar-nominated films, there’s been a ton of articles about the film.

The guy from Three Billboards In Ebbing Missouri

It's been a big thing in film nerd /film critic circles but maybe not outside of that

It's pretty ridiculous to draw some kind of moral equivalence between characters in a contemporary crime drama on the one hand, and a live-action cartoon with a crapsack science-fiction setting on the other.

It is interesting to me that the moral masturbation in Marvel fandom this year seems obsessed with Valkyrie, and not Loki's attempted genocide, Thor's activities as an imperial strong-man, or the rest of the crew's serial murders, much less GotG where practically everyone is deliciously bad.

I saw "Three Billboards..." and loved it. Sam Rockwell's character had an interesting arc. I feel that those who say it's 'controversial' aren't understanding the film. Do people want a racist asshole to stay that way? How is that helping society?

The implication (that I received, anyway) at the end of the film is that he is still a long way from redemption but is, at least, on his way, which is realistic. But then, it ends on an open note, so could go either way. I saw the film as getting to the root of his racism, which was about the anger that comes from a perceived lack of power. He had to be stripped down, to have true lack of power, to understand and start his transformation.

As for Valkerie, I loved her character. Different film so didn't bother me.
