Annoyed at the race swap?
Completely changing Norse mythology is annoying, yes. Plus she cant act.
What the strawberry float?
The Norse mythology in Marvel is the actual characters of Thor, Odin etc. that exist in that universe. Only seen the Valkyrie actress in Dear White People and she was great in that, haven't seen Creed yet but from what I've read her performance in that almost unanimously praised too.

It wouldn't be the same thing because the race of Valkyrie has strawberry float all to do with her character. Virtually all of the prominent black Marvel characters were created back in the 60s or 70s when comics where white as strawberry float and them being black was one of their defining characteristics.
