Nico Parker, the daughter of Thandie Newton, has responded to the backlash against her being cast as a race-swapped Astrid in the live-action How To Train Your Dragon film.This Substack is reader-supported.
I actually appreciate her honesty. She's a parasite who doesn't care whether she takes a role which is not for her. Money and "representation" is all it matters to this vapid twat.
Well, I won't be supporting it in theaters. If they want to race swap, they can find someone else to pay for it. From what I hear, the animated is better anyhow. No surprise to hear the chemistry in the movie isn't strong for the two primary characters.
“When I was younger, the amount of mixed race or black icons, people that I would look to on screen to be like, ‘Oh, this feels like me,’ felt really minimal in comparison to what it could be for young people now, and I think that’s really special.”
If this was a movie about a historical tribe in Africa fighting fantasy monsters, imagine the uproar if there was a member of the tribe who was anything other than black. How to Train your Dragon, is clearly about vikings who are tall, fair skinned with lighr hair. So why do they have to cast someone who doesnt fit that role?

Nico Parker's low IQ sociopathy confirmed.
Vikings arent Nigs. Sorry, not sorry. Just like how Nigs aint Vikings, see how that works.
Gaslighting at its finest
They put Legolas in a blonde wig. Why not this chick? See also Draco Malfoy and the Weasleys.
If it were just about the acting, she'd get contacts and a dye job.
It's not.
She's either stupid or lying.
The DEI hire queefed...
"I Just Don't Care"
Neither do we, chile. Neither do we.
The problem is this...
