Maybe it's because I have read a fair bit of the background stuff, about how it was originally based on the idea of writing a mythology for England that was truly English instead of imported from France. That sort of background makes me fail at seeing POCs, just like I fail at seeing POCs in Authurian legends.

Then what do you think of a black Heimdall? Similar rationalisation and yes - plenty of offence has been taken.

The bulk of the Norse myths were only written down because the Christian author was pissed that English stories/myths were infiltrating Iceland, Tolkien wanted to put a very English spin on the Norse myths... Let's put aside the verrry outdated nationalist and intrinsically racial guff and cast whoever the fuck we want in yet another adaptation of old themes. Skin colour shouldn't matter in telling a good fantasy story, or indeed most stories, in this era.

Marvelverse is Marvelverse.

The thing it all comes down to is that when I read Tolkien, it sounds to me like he's speaking about white people. Could the movies have a few more Maoris in the background without orc costumes? Sure! They probably could!

OT, but actually there was the occasional Moorish Knight in Arthurian Legend.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but even with the occasional Moorish knight, that knight is not someone like Lancelot or Gawain, or a good many of the other big name knights.
