Colored Vikings

Black Astrid, maori Fishlegs, fat Ruffnut.

movie was alright but was woke making Astrid a light skin although barely looked black besides the dreads lol. Just didn’t make sense there weren’t black Vikings in real life man.

Not any more woke than the original

This was a darn good "live action" remake of the original. Scrawny characters are made to be scrawny in this, and the same with the opposite. A bit more diversity in the cast, but I can't quite nail down the homogeneous population of vikings that battled dragons historically to see if these compare.

Angry Astrid is a real B####H

Astrid has always been a strong aggressive person, but she is now a mean, bullying, bitter, and angry at Hiccup's "entitlement".
Shoe-horning in the diverse "vikings" is super cringe and blatantly an effort to DEI the movie (even with the pathetic reasoning).
My 8 yr old wanted to go home and immediately watch the original animated, to which is definitively proclaimed "the original is so much better".

Characters were boring or outright unlikeable. Major moments were lost. Magic of the original wasn't carried. Most of which because of woke DEI priorities in various scenes.

Back half of the movie was much better than the first half (much more true to the original movie) in hopes you will forget the woke train wreck that was the first half.
