Asatruars and heathens, what's your opinion on the new Pathfinder movie?
In reality, the Norse expeditions to North America were led by Leif Erikson, a Christian. He had no intention of conquering native people, never took slaves, and eventually decided to head back to Greenland because of attacks by the native "Skraelings."
However, from what I've seen of the movie (I haven't watched it, but I've checked out the website, read reviews, and watched the commercials), they replaced the Christians with followers of the old religion and made them even more bloodthirsty and savage than the worst descriptions by the Christian monks.
It seems to me that the movie has thrown out what really happened back then and replaced it all with as much violence as they could image, most of which isn't even remotely plausible.
In my opinion, this movie gives people the wrong impression of Asatru and is extremely insulting to its followers and anyone who knows anything about history.
Have any of you seen the movie? What is your opinion of it?
Hello, Tracy. It's nice to know that someone recognizes the avatar.
Hey, Gratvol. I haven't seen the episode you seem to be referring to, but you should realize that you can never truly kill an Asgard. We can clone new bodies and download our minds into them. Do you honestly think that we don't save a backup? Of course we do.

I haven't seen the movie but I agree with your comments. I always find it a little unsettling when Hollywood types fudge the facts of history in order to create an more interesting story. I didn't like it when they completely revamped Greek mythology in the movie Troy and I don't expect this film to be any different. The only reason I may watch it is for entertainment reasons. I don't expect to learn anything from it...

Hey Thor I thought you were dead... crap I should not have said that... that has not come out yet in America.
As for the move when have you ever known Hollywood to be historically accurate with movies. I almost lost it when I saw enemy at the gates. No one is going to have a love affair in the worst war zone in WWII, but that is Hollywood for you.
with out a love story or violence/explosions and sometimes both they cannot sell a movie.

it's a movie, vikings rock, i don't want no pansy vikings, making friends. How would that sell? Was Rambo III an accurate description of anything, or aliens? somebodies got to be the bad guy. neither of us have seen it though.

I have not seen the movie yet, but from those that have, I understand that it is terrible. Everything is terribly inaccurate. I probably will not go see this because of it.
