[TV] Vikings: Vahalla (Netflix)

Here is where i disagree with sneezy wanker.

How come this twat cares to point out details about armor and helmets in the previous video I linked, but is totally onboard with a black female playing the part of what was most likely a white male!?
Fuck sake you brits are politically correct cowed into submission.

Is it even allowed to say white in UK?

It all seems so tacked on these days. Remember the old Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner? In that movie, there was also a black character, but he seemed well integrated in the story. If I remember right, he was sent from the Caliph, fought with a scimitar, and had a looking-glass which amazed the primitive Europeans. He didn't just magically appear in medieval England for no reason.

I started watching this — treat it like a fantasy series - then there’s less annoyance on my part about all the a-historical bulls**t.

That'smore or less how I feel. I mean, it does look pretty dire on the costume level, and any other authenticity for that matter, but I'm not going to get angry about a black person being in it 'because there definitely just can't have been any black people there then' . Yes, modern popular drama tries to reflect the modern society of it's main target audience, not surprisingly. I guess it's best to stick to documentaries for the history and take the drama for what it is, even though it's annoying for us history buffs to see so many liberties taken with what we consider to be the facts.
The fact that we know so little about the 'Dark Ages' gives the writers a lot more leeway, I suppose.
