Greeks are being played by Anglos. They're speaking english. It's clear they weren't going for accurate historical representation. Who cares about Black Helen of Troy?
True, they should add UAVs and tanks too
>>220597952>Matt Damon >Anglo
>>220597952>thing is shit>therefore, more shitidgi? that's just more reason not to watch
>>220597952I care.Also having Zendaya as Athena is another horrible casting choice. Zendaya has no presence, she has no... how you kids say it ''aura''. When you can someone to be a god make sure that they have screen presence.
>>220597952I just don't want to see any nogs. It doesn't get anymore complicated than that.
Why couldn't Athena just teleport Odysseus back home or call Pegasus to give him a ride? She's a god after all.
>>220597952We wuz greekz n shiet
>>220598361I don't know
>>220597952Because it takes place after a nuclear warThe “gods” are old Ai powered military satellites The cyclops is a giant mutant
I just dont want to see people of colour in movies.
>>220598412I sincerely hope it's this retarded.
>>220598435we're all POCs
>>220598412If this is the actual secret reveal plot I'll pay to see the movie in IMAX at least five times
>>220598412That would be far too fun to happen
>>220597952The people living in Greece right now are an unrelated Balkan people who have existed under the Ottoman Turkish yoke for 600 years. There isn't a trace of ancient Greece left.
>>220597952Anglos are European. Greeks are European. Thus, Anglos can play other Europeans like Greeks.Most importantly, Black "people" are hideous. No one wants to see them in movies. Did you know that Reddit is even trashing this movie because of the casting. This is how sick people are of this shit. The fatigue is real and there is nothing you can do about it.
>>220597952Helen of Troy is supposed to be an absolute dime. The negro is ugly.It's like if I made a movie about a male supermodel and cast Danny Devito, then got mad when people started laughing.
>>220598412kino
>>220598581>600 yearsroach-san
>>220597952Black Helen is an excuse to riff on a movie that nobody has faith in. That’s the point. Even if everyone was (((accurate))) the movie would still be ass.
>>220598361Because then there wouldn't be a story! But yeah, Homer would be like if some nonsensical third rate plebslop book came out today and it's the only work that survives a thousand years after the nuclear war, so those in the future hail it as an important just because it's the oldest
It appears that /tv/ zoomers are struggling with the concept of artistic license.
>>220597952
>>220598633>made a movie about a male supermodel and cast Danny DevitoI think a lot people don't understand that Helen of Troy isn't even a character in the Odyssey, just someone that makes a cameo (she's the wife of one of the various kings Odyesseus' son visits early to ask around about his missing father)The main role that the black chick is playing is not Helen of Troy but Helen of Troys sister, Clytemnestra, who is an important character, she's the evil bad woman that serves as a dark foil to Penelope (Matt Damon's faithful wife). Penelope is all that is goodClytemnestra is all that is bad, she's an unfaithful, evil, cheating whore Penelope is played by a white chick Clytemnestra by the black chick What's not to love if you're racist?
THE TIDE IS RISING
>>220598851Holy cope.
>>220598851Helen was the most beautiful person to ever live, right? The face that launced 1000 ships and all that. Her beauty was ethereal, unimaginable, so exagerrated that literal gods were jealous of her. And you are telling me that in the film she will be literally identical to her sister? Why the fuck did everyone go on about her looks if she looks just like her sister?
>>220598898I'm telling you the story of the Odyssey. Odysseus visits King Agamemnon in the afterlife and he tells him what an evil cheating whore women are because his wife Clytemnestra (played by the black chick), cheated on him with a other lover and they had him killed as soon as he returned from the war)It's a major plot point. Homer leaves it ambiguous if Clytemnestra really did what Agamemnon but being the black chick is playing Clytemnestra I assume it's not going to be vague but have her acting out the cheating murder in betrayal, and least in a flashback when Agamemnon is telling Odysseus how he got killed
>>220598412Fund it
>>220598962In the Illad, Helen of Troy is portrayed as a bad personIn the Odyssey, she only gets a cameo, one scene, but she is portrayed more favorably than she was in the Illiad
>>220598962That actually makes the casting more retarded. Fundamentally misunderstands the poem
>>220599040No, I don't mean her character or personality. I mean if Helen is so beautiful, why would it possibly make sense to have the actress play two parts? How can Helen be the most beautiful woman to ever live if her sister looks just like her?
>>220597952So much for Nolan's legacy then. Everyone knew this movie will age incredibly poorly except him it seems.Hollywood deserves to die at this rate.
>>220599066Helen of Troy is only beautiful to certain unlikeable characters. I don't think anyone comes away from the Illiad that Helen is a person they would find beautiful (unless you side with the bad guys)As for sisters, they look a like because they are sisters
>>220598412Nolan isn’t ballsy enough to pull that off. All of his plot twists are constrained by the autistic little rules he makes up for his worlds.
>>220599126I think you are way off, there. That's the point of her, everyone thinks she's stunning. Priam's old advisors say something along the lines of nobody could blame the Spartans for going to war for her
>>220599261You obviously haven't read the Illiad. Can you name the hero from the book who is the only person people probably find universally attractive?
>>220599261When she talks with Priam, she calls herself a “shameless bitch." She's the only bad guy in the book that Homer has take the blame for the war. She is resented by everyone (Hector is the only one that shows her kindness because he's related to her) She's the whore wife of the King of Sparta who goes to Troy to be the whore of a Trojan prince, how could anyone possibly be attracted to that?Greeks had to go to war because the King of Sparta had his honor hurt but he should have had Helen of Troy executed when he got her back for being such a whore In the Odyssey, Odysseus' son visits the King of Sparta when going around asking the Kings if he knows were his father is. When that happens ask yourself why the King of Sparta still has his whore wife Helen of Troy (played by a black chick) instead of having her executed >>220599387I assume that's Achilles but some could argue Hector. Those are the two heros for each side
>>220597952The casting is the least of its problems, everything about the film visually looks limp, tepid, and uninspired.
