Admittedly, being a redhead (and with a full beard) wouldn’t have changed anything, plot wise in the MCU, but anything that manages to A) distance Norse mythology from the racist dickheads who’ve come to latch onto it, and B) still be true to the original lore, would be a huge plus. At least making Heimdall black accomplished the first part.
But MCU’s Thor isn’t supposed to reflect Norse mythology, but the Thor from the Marvel comic books (granted, they don’t do that particularly well, either), which much pre-dates the Unholy Alliance.
But I agree in principle. I’d like to see a Thor portrayed more like Durin in ‘The Rings of Power’. Except for, you know, the height thing.
