and a white, Southern man depicting the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a cat reviving the role of Rin Tin Tin. In other words, I agree with Sir Moore - some things are best done in the spirit and intent of the author , the character, the time or the historical convention . I'm a traditionalist , I guess, in how I drink my whiskey and want certain things presented. Really - a female Thor! Next thing will be a male depicting the life of Madam Currie.
