White supremacists have claimed ownership over the new Viking Hollywood blockbuster The Northman, which stars Nicole Kidman and Anya Taylor-Joy.
The epic historical film, which has been released nationwide today, is the latest from Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) and a violent revenge tale taken from Viking legends.
However its 'all-white cast', which features famous faces including Alexander Skarsgård and Ethan Hawke, as well as it's 'pure macho stereotypes' have seen the blockbuster championed by supremacists before it was even released.
Posts on Reddit and 4Chan have been celebrating the film, with one 4Chan user writing: 'Robert Eggers. He is restoring pride in our people with his great films. The Northman is going to be epic… Hail Odin.'
Another person commented: 'Northman is a based [agreeable] movie, all white cast and shows pure raw masculinity.'
The connection between white supremacy and an interest in Viking culture is not new.
A number of alt-right terrorists have referenced the medieval period during their attacks in recent years, including Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, who killed at least 49 people in a Christchurch mosque in 2019 and Jeremy Christian who killed two women in 2017.

You know what DM meant by “white supremacy”. Anything that is Viking, Nordic is to them “white supremacy”. More Soy Boys wearing pajamas while sitting at their computer reading about movie so it’s “white supremacy”.
Don’t worry, they’ll make up for the Nordic in the episodes by putting a lot of Hamitic in the commercials.
All 5 supremacists, and THE FBI’s and THE LEFT’s hundreds of fake accounts and army of bots.
Watched it last night,,old viking legends? looked more like a cheap knock off of shakespears Hamlet to me.It wa unintentionally funny and my wife and I spent the entire evening saying,,,”I will avenge you father,save you mother,and kill you uncle!”
Why not?
The funny thing is, even the people that black people pretend were black, like Beethoven for example, will likely in the future need to be performed by a black actor.
A Viking film without Zulu warriors and Samurai is not a Viking film. As everyone knows.
Maybe that’s where Shakespeare got the story for Hamlet. I seem to remember it being some sort of Danish legend.
I guess 2 is a number. But where are the details. What exactly did they say? Something like, "I'm going to get medieval on their @sses."
I still don't get the association.
Medieval => Viking => White Supremacist?
Mighty big stretch.
That is, until my dad visited the Laplanders (Sami) in northern Norway. Their version of our Eskimos.
They should have filled the Norse show with Chinese
I agree, but there could have been a Moor captured by them during one of the raids, made into an advisor.
You know, poetic license.

do this do this.. the oleson twins as venus and serena williams
Amen!
Someone seems butt hurt.🙄
I’ll have to look into this movie. I’ve always enjoyed Nordic/Viking lore. It’s in my lineage, and it’s meritorious in its own right. Do some race haters who probably have a childishly superficial knowledge of it share the same interest for different reasons? That doesn’t concern me or tie the makers of a film to them. Neurotic SJW crybabies never run out of things to be unhappy about, do they?
True the quota counters never stop to think about things just a bunch of PC junkies.
“…as well as it’s ‘pure macho stereotypes’…
Oh bull! Any such thing will be counterbalanced by scenes of women kicking ass and taking names and being ornery and generally snarly and disputatious.
Norse mythology gets pretty weird. I remember one major tale where a woman’s entire family gets wiped out except a brother in hiding and herself, who is forced to marry the murderer. She sneaks off and poses as a trollop to her hiding brother to have relations and bear his son/nephew, so that in 20 years he can avenge the family.
