 That new character is Valkyrie, who is being played by Tessa Thompson, who in no way resembles a character from Nordic-Scandinavian folklore.  __________________

I prefer the casting for Valkyrie to the casting for Hela. I've seen the trailers, Cate Blanchett can't seem to do anything but camp it up. Pathetic. Of course, she's usually pathetic in roles. I've never seen a performance of hers I've liked.

Actually haven't seen much of Cate but I didn't like her in LoTR as the Elvish "Queen|Goddess or whateve"

Okay, as a Cate fan I'm not gonna get much sympathy here.
 Anyone watching Inhumans? I haven't heard good things so far. __________________

I missed the Flyers game, but they lost to the Islanders, 5-2.
 But at least my Eagles beat the Chargers 26-24!  __________________

Flyers? Eagles? Chargers? More goddamn zoo animals. Is there any North Amrican sports team that doesn't have a name based on an animal or a racial slur?

Flyers and Chargers aren't animals, sum1.
The Chargers' logo is a lightning bolt, and the Flyers only have a wing insignia lie the Air Force, not an actual bird. And aside from the Redskins, not really. Indians and Braves aren't slurs. And most Native Americans polled really don't care about the NFL's Redskins. And we do have a basketball team called the Celtics. __________________

A charger is a type of horse used by knights. And people can't fly, so flyers sure are animals.

 The team is also often called the "bolts." This is their helmet. And next to it is the Flyers logo. It's not a bird, it's just a hockey puck with a wing on it. And people do fly in machines with wings called airplanes, and this is no different. It's an inanimate object.   __________________

The Flyers are NHL hockey, sum1, not football.
And no, they don't fly. Neither do the Detroit Red Wings. No, the Chargers don't shoot lightning. It's just a name to imply power and energy.__________________

American teams seem to have real issues with naming.

These sports teams came out in the early 20th century, sum1. They used a lot of weird names back then we no longer use.
The Green Bay Packers are named after the Green Bay, Wisconsin meat packing industry. And what the f  are we talking about this st on this thread for? Unless a team has a cartoon or comic book character on their helmets. __________________
