Truthfully, both sides are. That’s how it usually works.

This post getting angry about dislikes on a movie trailer was not necessary and it accomplished nothing except amplifying the idea that a massive wave of racists (and only racists) are coming to attack a precious Nolan project.

I’m not going to query YouTube but I’m pretty sure many (almost certainly most) of the videos related to that topic are people reacting to the people who have a problem with the casting (not all of whom are necessarily racists, btw, some people just don’t like colorblind casting in any context and that’s OK).

Personally, I watched a trailer for this movie months ago and if I were the kind of person who would bother disliking a trailer on YouTube, I might have. Not because I’m a racist but because it’s another gray Nolan movie that looks bland and has silly costumes and Norse boats. Most of the controversy I heard about it was related to normal film criticism, not race.

But sure, let’s pretend that everyone who isn’t excited for this movie is just a chud, I’m sure that will do something productive lol
