WTF?!?! How did THE NORTHMAN get made?!

Holy shit, guys, some joos are getting shitcanned for this one. How did they allow this movie to get made? If their intention was subversive it failed miserably. Spoilers incoming:

1) No minorities represented! Correct historical representation of the place and time period (for the most part); absolutely no non-whites, no faggotry.

2) No blatant feminist BS. Patriarchy is very much alive and kicking ass, no female lead, a treacherous, cunning and unfaithful roastie-type villain; the good female in the story isn't the wise problem solver or lady-boss bad-bitch, etc., but a strong white woman who wants to bear children and help her man get what he wants.

3) The protagonist is an unapologetic masculine, spiritual, strong, focused, smart white man. He sacrifices everything for family and honor until the very end and (spoiler) dies in fucking glory and goes to valhalla. WTF!

4) A shit-TON of pro-white imagery and themes: genetic tree, family-line, kinship, strong fathers, honor, tradition, masculinity, virtuous aggressiveness, connection to nature and the mystical, sacrifice, courage, commitment, femininity, etc.

5) This movie portrays slavery without making any blatant statement or being all about slavery - and it's all white-on-white. A movie that has slavery but not one black person!

The movie didn't obviously apologize for ANY of the nuanced morality, brutality, patriarchy, etc. - on the contrary, it seemed to glorify it.

Holy shit.

Easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Almost a religious experience.
