...here we go, 10 page fight about toxic masculinity

I mean it's a revenge story, so that kinda comes with the territory.

You seem to be angry at the movie for not living up to your dogmatic expectations of what it should have been instead of engaging with it on its own merits.

It's def a bit weird to complain about the lack of poc when the previous 2 were super white. Like sure, judge by some standard of representation (or tokenism) but at least be consistent with it!

The VVitch was a while ago (also at least had a fun female character arc) and The Lighthouse had two actors in it. Not weird.

That witch is also in this one, and there were 4 actors in lighthouse. All white (except for a blurry shot of passing indigenous hunters/traders). Why wasn't that a concern for you before?

Norse imagery is popular with racists so I can understand giving it the side-eye, but it really depends on how it's depicted. A story about bad people isn't necessarily endorsing their actions or beliefs.

This was very good but not quite as good as Valhalla Rising in terms of trippy viking poo poo

Amleth tries to avoid directly killing women & children because he's obsessed with honour. He doesn't see the hypocrisy because he's a dummy conditioned not to think about it. He does feel bad about killing his family, he even feels bad about that fisherman's son who gets sniped before the big raid kicks off - but his quest is more important to him than anything else, and the ends justify the means.
