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.

Heimdall wasn't black. His skin was just irradiated from standing next to Bifrost year upon year.

Given that this sort of forced migration looks like it’s a few notches below ethnic cleansing, this isn’t surprising,
There also seems to be some jiggery-pokery with the money involved. DeSantis apparently spent $615 000 to fly those people out of state. That’s roughly $12 500 per person.

Boru Yeah apparently they are being overrun but they can still afford to give people plane rides

And someone doesn't understand the difference between NIMBISM and being against politicians cyclically using migrants to "own" their political opponents and help their own political careers. So nice strawman....
