I was introduced to Jim Goad about a decade ago by a leftist who hailed Goad as an example of an honest (maybe the only) conservative.
I read many of his articles on Taki Magazine, but it's been years since I simply forgot about him. Somehow he made into my mind today, so I looked him up.
Boy, I wasn't disappointed:

https://counter-currents.com/2022/04/the-worst-week-yet-78/Steve Rose takes a nerdy solace in the fact that Hollywood is ritually destroying Nordic lore to the point where it bears no resemblance to its origins:
Amazon’s forthcoming Lord of the Rings series, The Rings of Power, has made a point of casting non-white actors to play elves and dwarves. Going slightly deeper, David Lowery’s atmospheric The Green Knight, released last year, reinvigorated Arthurian legend — a space as traditionally all-white as Viking history — by casting the British-Asian actor Dev Patel as Gawain."

Rose also seems tickled pink that the fourth installment, Thor: Love and Thunder, features “hints of homoeroticism, while somehow Natalie Portman now wields Mjolnir. The far right is going to hate it.”
As if Thor: Love and Thunder wasn’t the gayest-sounding film title of all time, a scene in the trailer between Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) is so gay it’s guaranteed to give you AIDS with only one viewing.
It’s high time for a movie where a crew of violent, hairy, old-school Berserker Viking pirates wash ashore somewhere in Malibu and lay waste to every last trace of the Hollywood film industry.
