She's right you know
Why would it represent the modern world?
>>220658378the Odyssey is a story about Greeks, not a story about the world
>>220658378of course a nog supports stealing from and appropriating from white people. Are you retarded?
>>220658378DEY HEA
>>220658378Should have filmed the Iliad then, not the Odyssey.The Trojan army gathered trade partner nations from the whole area to defend itself against ameri...Greek superiority.One of the armies was Aethiopian, their demigod king Memnos even managed to cut Akhilleus before jobbing to him.
>>220658378God she’s hot
The Odyssey took place across all continents?
>>220658378>rightwingexplain
Well, the world is shit, so don't do that
>>220658378the world sucks
Africa is legit right there across the Mediterranean. I don’t see why this is so shocking
>>220658724
I think O had a pretty good reception or became a cult classic. They could have just changed the time and location and not pretend to be a period drama.
>>220658772Chuds actually claim that this is supposed to be a white man
>>220658378this movie is going to suck dick and eat shit
>a greek saw a nigger once therefore akilles is a tranny
>>220658800Source for this claim?
>>220658423>>220658724Ethiopians are mentioned literally on the first page of the Odyssey as well lmao
>>220658378It's a greek epic, why exactly does it need to be representative of globalhomo?
>>220658378>casting attacked by *far* right>Odyssey represents le world, not Greece millennia agoi.e., If you disagree with the casting, you're a dangerous extremist, and the casting is meant to achieve some le creative end. lol
>>220658736
>>220658732Probably the most beautiful actress of the past 20 years. Unbelievable beauty.
>>220658820Don't worry, they'll show up in a second and provide you with the source
>the world is brown and nothing elsewell she's almost right
>>220658820First time on 4chan? They literally claim they are white people with a strong tan.
>>220658772That actually looks like Lupita
>>220658884What's even the bait here?>I'm pretending to be stupid enough to think this strawman is valid, get angry at how stupid you think I am
>>220658822Neither Helen nor Lupita are Ethiopian. These freaks are representative of nothing except the concerted effort to turn everyone into braindead retards like you.
>>220658378Nolan should have went further - first black man to play a historically white female roleThis would have BROKE BARRIERS!
>>220658915Cool so you admit that there are literally thousands of black people present at the Trojan war then.
>>220658919Ancient Ethiopia and modern Ethiopia are two entirely different things.
>>220658951Both are black.
>>220658937When you inevitably commit suicide, your worthless cunt of a mother will secretly celebrate being rid of you.
>>220658884What does any of that have to do with Helen of Troy being raceswapped into a jogger?
>>220658937What exactly is your point?
>>220658378>Elliot Page>John Leguizamo>Will Yun Lee>Himesh PatelThis is actually really cool they're doing this. They're not trying to tell the "real" story. They're making a movie and putting all kinds of people in it, this is great, genuinely respect this.>the most beautiful woman in the world is played by Lupita Nyong'oAm I not allowed to have a problem with this? JUST THIS. I don't care she's black, I don't care the cast is diverse, THIS is my issue. THe 1997 miniseries had her played by... no one. Cause they knew it was uncastable.
>>220658884This is some "we were always here!" tier cope
>>220658937And it would be cool to see them accurately represented as foreign mercenaries completely alien to Greeks and Anatolians.>>220658951Not as different as whatever tribe she's from and the tribes around the upper Nile where the mercs came from.
>>220658968Wow, you really are seething lol>>220658971It has to do with the chud claim that the story of the Trojan war doesn't include black people. It does.>>220658973Do you admit that Ethiopians are black?
>>220659006>the chud claimCan you cite a single chud making that claim?
>>220658997No, its some "we were always here" evidence.
>>220659025Every chud makes that claim, including you.
>>220659056What's the point of pretending to communicate when you're objectively, demonstrably incapable of it?
>>220658378>race swap>not even attractive>most beautiful woman in the worldhumiliation ritual.
>>220658378It could have been right if it was set in modern day times like romeo ans juliet 1996. But the all ancient greek with nwordians roaming every where is of putting.
>>220659087Stop pretending, chud. If you accepted that there are black people in Homeric myth, you wouldn't have a meltie about it.
>>220659006The chud claim is that Helen of Troy should not be played by a bald negress
>>220658961>>220659002I know, but they usually try to claim modern Ethiopians have some Caucasian in them, and that makes them non-black when the ancient Ethiopians being referred to weren't even from that area. In an even broader sense, "Ethiopian" in classical times was the equivalent of what the word "Negro" is today.
Helen of Detroit.
>>220659143Cool so if there were other black people in it you would be fine with it? Am I supposed to believe that, chud?
>>220658378then write your own globalized epic bitch
>Our cast is representative of the worldWhy? Why does literally every movie and TV show have to be some kind of fucking social statement?
>>220659135It's amazing how much of left wing argument is just pretending not to understand anything, thus making discourse impossible
>>220659181Jews
>>220659160Yes. You'd think any movie wouldn't jump at the chance to shove as many blacks into a movie as humanely possible in current year? Raceswapping established characters has always been the issue.
>>220659196It's called pilpul.
>>220658378>rightwing?
>>220658761I swear to God you people are retarded. Yes, Africa the continent is. West Africa, where she and most blacks are from, is several thousands of miles away across a colossal desert from the Africa that's across the Mediterranean.That's like saying Saladin could be played by a fucking chink because the Levant and China are both in Asia.Think before you type out verbal diarrhea.
>>220658378I don't like the casting not because she's black but because she's offensively ugly.What's up with Hollywood always picking the bottom of the barrel when It comes to minorities?
>>220659260But Odysseus can be played by an Angloid because Greece and England are both in Europe?
>>220659260>West Africa, where she and most blacks are from, is several thousands of miles away across a colossal desert from the Africa that's across the MediterraneanIf this is such a concern to you, then why are you not equally disturbed that the white actors in the film are not actually from the Mediterranean?
>>220659181It's to help promote the liberal narratives that literally every person is the same/equal, and shoving nonwhites into white countries is le good.
>>220658378>greek mythology>the world has to be representedoh. let's make a story about the mongolians with africans too then.
>>220659299>>220659324The casting is all around terrible. But this thread is about Helen of Troy being played by a fucking West african.Your whataboutism is pathetic.
>>220659144>the ancient Ethiopians being referred to weren't even from that areaThey were all from the upper Nile which was the only point of contact with whites since the Ice age and because it was a point of contact they were the whitest blacks in all Africa. The American racist anti-historical globohomo propaganda conflates all Africans as "le blacks" and undermines their history just as much as "le white" history.
>>220659254Anyone that notices things that they shouldn't is a far-right nazi.
I am a gooner so i would have preferred if they casted Ellie The Empress
>>220659299The Welsh look relatively similar to Greek and Roman statues. That does not imply they're the prettiest or whatever but they're the best choice by far to represent Greeks and Romans in angloid media like Hollywood movies.
>>220659386Its not 'whataboutism', ethnically inaccurate casting is the topic.
>>220659477>ethnically inaccurate casting is the topic.>Helen of Troy is widely considered a fictional characterBitch is made up
>>220659030This is not evidence. This is just more “we wuz kangs” nonsense.
>>220659512Why would Homer and other ancient authors engage in Afrocentrism?
>>220659411>Anyone that notices things that shouldn't bother them is a far-right nazi.ftfy
>>220658378YAASS moment.
>>220659437Based. Cast Persephanii as Persephone while you're at it.
>the world
>>220659500If you choose Britney Spears to represent Anansi in a story set in Ghana you're undermining our understanding of history. Even using an Ethiopian would be an evil, anti-human act.
>>220659572>it doesn’t matter!Then fuck off.
>>220658993nolan thinks the most beautiful woman is an african with bloodshot eyes and who looks like aunt jemima.
>>220658378Imagine how pissed you would be if you had to fight a war for this forty five year old male midget-looking thing.
>>220659635>you're undermining our understanding of historyNope because nobody cares about Anansi or whatever made up character you just brought upJust like the only people who cared about white actors playing Egyptian Gods were retards on the internet and outrage merchants who shit out slop articles and youtube videos
>>220659733It's different because white actors are attractive.
>>220658378History != the world currently, niggeress
>>220658822It says Helen was Ethiopian and Achilles was a tranny in the very first page eh? Well I stand corrected. I have actually read the Odyssey, numerous times, unlike you illiterate dickless. GTF out of here with your canned cope from bluesky trannies to le own the chuds.
>>220659754Great responseHave some black boobs before i go to bed
did /tv/ whine about the black guy in 300?
>>220659733>nobody caresI do and that's what would motivate me to watch media representing the story. Why do people who "don't care" keep subverting interesting stories that provide insight into human history? Why do you care so much about actively undermining the search for truth about subjects you claim not to care about?>Egyptian GodsWere white.
>>220658822>pageit's an oral poem, poser
>>220659785No, the Odyssey doesn't mention that Achilles was trans.That's from the Achilleid (and some other texts) which describe his trans-identity, living as a woman under the name Pyrrha on the island of Skyros.
>>220659800Why wont this bitch just show some nip already
>>220659785>I have actually read the Odyssey, numerous timesNo, incel, you read some kind of comic book adaptation. No chud has ever read either the Iliad or the Odyssey.
>>220658423You don't understand she means that, unless blacks see a black in the movie, they don't watch it because they're this stupid. It has to specifically say they're included so they can feel anything about the characters.
>>220659572>that shouldn't bother themAccording to...
>>220659809/tv/ hadn't entered its bitter incel phase back then
>>220659879No, chud. It was an oral poem until the Greeks learned to write and immediately wrote it down, thousands of years ago. Every since, it has been a book and on the first page it mentions Ethiopians.
>>220659809The guy that got kicked down the well?
>>220659819>WEWUZ EGYPTIANS!!Why are whites so insecure about their own culture that they have to appropriate others?
>>220659987>WEWUZ EGYPTIANS!!Every nog ever
>>220659409>which was the only point of contact with whitesEthiopia, being an empire, had colonies outside of Africa. Herodotus mentions an Ethiopian colony as far north as the Colchis, which corresponds to modern-day western Georgia.>they were the whitest blacks in all AfricaNo, they weren't. In ancient texts Ethiopians are always specifically stated to have the blackest skin of anybody on earth. There is even a Greek proverb "to wash an Ethiopian white." It originates from an Aesop's fable, which tells the story of a man who buys a black slave and assumes his dark skin is the result of neglect or mistreatment by a former owner. The new master tries repeatedly to scrub the slave's skin white, only to realize the task is impossible. The moral of the tale is the futility of attempting to change a person's innate character or, in this case, physical attributes.
>>220658378Ok, every time a nigger does something i will remind him to be representative of the world.
>>220658378>WE
>>220658884What does this have to do with casting an ugly girl as the most beautiful waifu ever
>>220659987If you use naive burger classifications like "black" and "white" then Egyptians were white. The upper Nile African "blacks" controlled Egypt late in its history for a few generations. Those people were roughly as related to modern Ethiopians as Tutankhamun was related to Scandinavians and had nothing to do with the west African tribes that were taken to burgerstan.
>>220659299>Odysseus can be played by an Angloid because Greece and England are both in Europe?Not ideally. That's another bullshit defense you tards love making. But the difference in a northern vs. southern Euro is not nearly as stark as a southron and a subsaharan. Obviously.
>>220658820Like I said, the wewuzethiopian chuds would turn up:>>220659409and they brought their usual cope with them
>>220660108>Egyptians were whiteWE WUZ
>>220660012>In ancient texts Ethiopians are always specifically stated to have the blackest skin of anybody on earthBy people who had no experience of Sub-Saharans.Ethiopia had no access to Georgia, the colony would be disconnected and only associated with blacks because of their skin color, if populated by Africans it would likely have been founded by the mentioned merc groups.
>>220660170DEM NIGGAS WUZ REAL GREEKZ
>>220658884>hurr durr we can prove a black guy visited england once so casting one as the king isn't inaccurate at all!!!
would Nolan cast Ryan Gosling as Shaka Zulu?
>>220659944>he thinks the illiad predates the existence of greek writinglmao
>>220660187There are statues, images, descriptions and and genetic data which is how we know the ruling class was black for a few generations.

>>220660215>lol he thinks the Iliad is a written text rather than purely oral>lol he thinks the Iliad ever existed other than in written formchudcels are truly the most dishonest creatures
>>220660215Greeks lost their writing in the bronze age collapse which happened around the time of the Illiad. They recorded their oral history in a new script they made up after.
>>220660243>THEY KNEW WHAT NIGGERS WERE SO ATHENS LOOKED LIKE MODERN LONDON

>>220660195Zesty
>>220660326
>>220660361>>the ancient Greeks considered Ethiopians white!Nobody in the thread made this claim. You can't even pretend to be an honest thinking person because your goal is always subversion of any attempts to approach truth.

>>220660326>literally over 1300 wordsso this is the power of chud memes...
>>220660240They forgot to wash it. Classic blunder.
Helen of Troy was not Ethiopian, and she was never described as having dark skin, nor was she ever depicted in ancient art as having anything other than light skin. Nor did either of her parents (Zeus and either Leda or Nemesis) have dark skin or come from Ethiopia.The mention of the existence of Ethiopia in the Homeric poems (which is never visited, nor are any Ethiopians ever seen) does not give license to cast a very dark-skinned woman as Helen unless you are giving up any notion of grounded or believable casting. Casting a bunch of pale Anglos instead isn't ideal either, but it is more accurate since Ancient Greeks were a lot closer in skin color to modern Europeans than they were to West Africans. This could all be avoided by casting Greek or other Mediterranean actors.If you're not going for grounded or believable casting, which seems to be the case here, fine. But that's not going to be to everyone's taste, and you're acting in bad faith or with an agenda if you expect everyone to embrace it.
>>220660485>so they had writing before the illiadThey weren't the same culture. The ones described in the Illiad collapsed and the cultures that came after didn't possess the same tech or writing. They were also likely genetically different. The common identification as Hellenic came after Alexander. The Danaans in the Illiad are likely northern tribes associated with the Danube that invaded what we call the Mycanean culture and didn't preserve their writing.
>>220658378Why would it need to represent the world?The story is about Mycenaen Greeks and the Hittites.
>>220658378Tell 'em, Helen.
>>220660621
>>220660713This has be ragebait.
>>220660756The Hittites are never mentioned in either the Iliad or Odyssey.>Muh WilusiaTroy was in the Hittite sphere of influence and had a kind of vassal obligation to send troops if the Hittites were attacked, but not vice versa. The Trojans themselves weren't Hittites.
>>220660815Its a way to get bleach in your body just like Trump told people to do.
>>220660851>only blacks fell for itReally makes you think
>>220660815Trust me, it isn't. No matter how retarded you think they are, the reality is still worse.
>>220660728...but they did have some form of writing? the greeks who came up with the illiad had writing before the illiad, yes?
>>220660713Glad I don't eat meat.
>>220660851>A nigger does something retarded, i have to come to the rescue
>>220658378If they'd cast her as the ugliest woman in the world would she be happy? Would people be celebrating?
>>220660888>came up with the illiad had writing before the illiadDid you have a fucking stroke when writing this, you goddamn fucking retard?
>>220660888No
>>220660872Is that why they all have the beetis?
>>220660902You just suck on it.
>>220660915>Being against Nazis and fascists is le bad
>>220660957That's not sugar, it's corn starch. They have beetis because they only ever drink soda and think consider drinking water to be "acting white"
>>220660815They do wash their chiken (bad idea really just spreads the shit around, just cook it) but Idk if they used bleach or soap. Maybe some. They do use lemon or vinegar I think.. mostly
>>220660982I don't, but you straight up fucking eat it.
>>220659324Judeo-christian civilization has always depicted the characters in that epic as white.
>>220660997>nazi>fascistSo basically just someone the left doesn’t like.
>>220661039No they like some fascist
>>220661008Isn't starch a type of sugar though?
>>220658378BBC sez left-wing is race-swapping characters in historical epics, but ONLY ONE-WAY? Genuine "cultural exchange" has to be mutual, 2-way right?
>>220660872The ancestors of African-Americans often had iron deficiency, and hence developed an instinct to seek out and eat iron-rich soils, especially during pregnancy. Black women in America still get that drive, so they suddenly crave corn-starch and things with a similar texture.
>>220660948are you fucking stupid? maybe read the whole sentence and the whole comment chain>the greeks who came up with the illiad had writing before the illiad, yes?>>220660953wrong, they presumably had some experience with some form of written language
how come we never see nordic white guys cast as africans?
>>220661039No, idiot, Nazis and fascists. Do you identify as those? I'm on the left, by the way, but there's a difference between people I don't like and Nazis and fascists you fat, mustard-stained white t-shirt wearing fucktard.
This from the same aglo media machine, that DGAF a Chinese was cast in Memoirs of a Geisha, to the anger of Japanese.
>>220661111Whatever faggot.
>>220661039>>220661057Big round of applause on empathizing with Nazis and fascists.
>representative of the world>story is based in 1/3 of the mediterranean seaok
>>220661111Not my fault you fuckers have used that term to death on all of your political rivals.
>>220660888Mycaneans had writing but the Danubian invaders described in the Illiad probably didn't. The post-collapse cultures that maintained the story didn't until almost a thousand years later.
>>220661133
>>220661081>wrong, they presumably had some experience with some form of written languageThey got writing from the phoenicians, and the first literature they wrote down was the Illiad because it was the most popular poem
>>220658761Yeah and here's what the people who live on Africa's mediterranean coast look likeNegroes are on the other side of a massive desert
>>220658993>uncastableThere's a ton of women who are/were objectively beautiful. Charlize Theron, Rachel Weisz, even Anya Taylor-Joy all looked great during their primes and before their surgeries.
>>220660872But why?
>>220661163>>220661176so you agree with me that the illiad did not predate the existence of written language amongst the greeks? fine
>>220661183That's because modern North Africans are Turkish rapebabies
>>220658378I don't really care about the details she just hurts my eyes to look at so I won't see simple as
>>220661171The first paragraph is perfectly rational. The second is what you wish people on the left would say and the drawing is just pathetic. But yeah, I'll double down on that first paragraph. You can't say you're not a Nazi even though you'd get killed in an instant under their regime.
>>220661111>Nazis and fascists. Do you identify as those?Yes.
>>220661214No, schizo, I don't. The Illiad was composed orally, at a time when the Greeks were illiterate.
>>220658732Go to bed, Alec
>>220661159Why can't you just accept that you're a Nazi and be upfront about it you fucking pussy? What, do you think being a Nazi is bad or something? Fucking pussy.
>>220661214The Illiad did predate the existence of written language amongst the "greeks" described in the Illiad.
>>220661226>You can't say you're not a Nazi even though you'd get killed in an instant under their regime.That's some hard projecting there, seething nigger.
>>220661111all white people are born fascist nazis by birtheven the leftoid onesThis is what my communist jew professor taught me
>>220661260>Why can't you just accept that you're a Nazican you define the term for us?
>>220661277Well I'm not a disgusting blob like you.
>>220661299Sorry, but you are the cornstarch shoveling nigger.
>>220661289That's why you have to rape young boys like the German Marxist government did to denazify them until 2004.
>>220661226>giant screeching meltdown >a leftoidThat checks out.
>>220661310I had sex with your mom, how do you feel about that?
>>220661293So now we're playing the game where I have to define words for you? Eat shit.
>>220661336so you can't, okay that's fine you can just say that you know
>NOOO YOU MUST ACCEPT BEING CULTURALLY AND DEMOGRAPHICALLY REPLACED BY NIGGERS OR YOU'RE A DISGUSTING BLOB NAZI
>>220661310I promise you, I'm most likely whiter than you are. That's probably why you're a Nazi. Compensation.
>>220661226>the left doesn’t do that!!https://medium.com/@Voices_Reflection/nazis-everywhere-the-overuse-and-misuse-of-a-loaded-term-36861df97fa9
>>220661334How would you feel if you did not have breakfast this morning?
>>220661362>I promise you, I'm most likely whiter than you are. That's probably why you're a Nazi.Zero chance, faggot.
>>220661247>>220661266you're confusing knowing the greek language with knowing any written language, probably because you're both retarded
The leftoidal brain is a seething, rotting puddle of racist mush
>>220661374I did have breakfast, chud. Its the most important meal of the day. I bet you didn't have any.
>>220661353>you can'tEveryone can, but when you're asking someone to define things that everyone knows the definition of it just means you don't know how to respond but want to anyway, it means you lose. It's just the sound you make when you're proverbially bleeding out.
>>220658378And then they set you up, if you complain all of the sudden youre racist. Its not racism when you're looking at legit historical fact that she was pretty much white. What is the intentions here, why do they do it. Remember the HBO show of Cleopatra pissed Egypt off for making her black they had it canceled? Its something that's done to keep people from making legitimate observations. I'm a bleeding heart leftist.
the question is why is nolan doing this humiliation ritual.wasnt tenet embarrassing enough?
>>220658822Is she playing an Ethiopian?
>>220661423its okay lil bro I accept your concession you don't have to worry about it
>>220658378maybe "the world" will watch it , then. we will see.
>>220661400Show me a single scholar who claims that the Illiad originated as a written text, schizo.
>>220661399I'm like as white as you can possibly be. As for you, being a Nazi is your way of roleplaying as an actual white person out of self hatred.
>>220661421Confirmed for nigger.
>>220659809no, but tons of leftists to this day still complain about 300 as a story of fascist white supremacy because the brown bad guys get killed by the ubermensch europeans
>>220661465what the fuck are you talking about. these are my posts;>>220659879>>220660215
lotta angry brown people in herereminder that meds and their rape baby spics were perfecty happy when a nord (brad pitt) portrayed them
>>220661467>I'm like as white as you can possibly be.We know you are a real life basedjak.
>>220661450Why did you ask me to define a word that everyone knows the definition of then? Refusing to play along with your retardation isn't a concession, dipshit. Asking someone to define words that everyone knows the meaning of is what people do when they feel defeated. Everyone is aware of this.
>>220658736Direction brain syndrome. The left thinks any person who disagrees with them is right wing, while the right things any person who disagrees with them is a leftist. I'm left wing and I don't like this casting.
>>220661510No, we dont. 300 was fun as shit, I saw it twice in the theater.
>>220661519Lose confidence in your intuition, retard.
>>220661521>everyone knowseveryone except you apparently lil bro
>>220661513So you truly are a schizo
It's like I awakened the entire fucking KKK, holy shit.
>>220658736Anyone who doesn't drop to their knees and kiss the globohomo dick is rightwing nazi.
>>220661547>Lose confidence in your intuition, retard.
>>220658408because you have to include shitskins because their culture isnt worth promoting or sharing with the world.
>>220658423But /tv/ wants to cast WASPs not Greeks
>>220661534
>>220661552What the fuck does that even mean? Oh right, you don't know, you just felt like you needed to say something whatever it is.
>>220661581You realize the chances of me actually looking like that are very slim, right, retard?
>>220658822So mentioned equals about? Just how fucking retarded are you? Is Fast and Furious about tuna because they mention it?
>>220659437That's a woman wore starting a war for. Imagine how many children she could make a feed with my seed...
>>220661622Of course, after all you aren't actually white.That's the branch you sit on.
>Helen of Troy was a slave>make her blackProblematic t b h
>>220661556you're just an idiot. the illiad was an oral poem and it didn't predate the existence of written language amongst the greeks. two perfectly compatible beliefs
>>220661400>you're confusing knowing the greek language with knowing any written languageWhat does this mean retard? I've clarified over and over and you keep obfuscating. The Danaans likely didn't know the Mycanean written language and the post-collapse people in the area who maintained the story didn't have any writing capable of recording the story. The Illiad predates writing among the people who compiled and maintained the Illiad.
>>220658378yeah well the odyssey is about greeks, doing greek things, so why ain't it representative of greece?
>>220661770>The Danaans likely didn't know the Mycanean written language and the post-collapse people in the area who maintained the story didn't have any writing capable of recording the story. so you're saying that none of them knew ANY written language and they just conjured the greek alphabet out of thin air? you're a lunatic and a weasel
>>220658378>rightwing
>>220659800God DAMN, she’s sexy as fuck!! But still not Helen of Troy.
>>220661601just define the term in your own words and there will be an end to the horror
>>220658378I'm glad the left are mindless drones that have to go with this and not free to oppose or have indent thoughts.
>>220661883>none of them knew ANY written languageCorrect. It was lost after the collapse.Phoenician merchants brought them an alphabet hundreds of years later.
>>220662156>WE WUZ LITERATEZ
>>220658408Because it's ineligible for the Oscar's otherwise.
What is "right wing" about thinking an African shouldn't play a Greek?
>>220660872>>220660957>>220661008>>220661061oh lerd y'all ain't neva heard of SCRONG (that's what they used to call it)? This is a cottage market, its dey culcha, people make and sell flavored baked corn starch.
>>220661600I dont care, and even didn't know about any backlash.
>>220662810Nothing.
>>220662795Antisemite
>>220658378Oh really? Where are the Asian actors or latinos or pajeets? Are they not part of the modern world?
>>220663068there literally is an asian in it and multiple hispanics
>>220662795So? The focus should be on making a good movie, not trying to meet arbitrary conditions so a panel of pedophiles will give you a trophy.
>>220663068>>220663121oh, and a jeet, too.
>>220663068>John Leguizamo as Eumaeus, Odysseus's faithful servant[8]:55>Himesh Patel as Eurylochus, Odysseus's second-in-command[9]>Will Yun Lee as one of Odysseus's shipmates[8]:59
>>220658378>representative of the worldShould be just chinks and pajeets if that were the case.
>>220662917so your strawman of chuds getting mad at the black persian messenger is real in your head but actual people on your side crying about fascist sparta isn't noteworthy
Are you people retarded?Nolan added all the diversity casting choices because they mandated in Oscar requirements and that's all that autist gives a shit about.Without these stunt casting options he can't be considered in most if not all categories.Blame the Oscars for being so stupid about it.
>>220663177Holy shit it just keeps getting worse and worse. This is the most egregious.
>>220658884Ethiopians aren't Bantu and they were even more of a separate race 2500 years ago, also it's common for writers to allude to the furthest away places they know of
>>220658378Um yeah, that's the problem. The odyssey is Greek, the characters should look Greek not like "the world">>220659809The Persians were depicted using African warriors in the movie, dude gets killed in the most memorable and memeable way, and the movie released years before Fink gave the word to push DEI and woke became a thing. Plenty of reasons to not give a shit.
>>220659809he played a persian messenger, not a greek. persia was a huge empire that included parts of africa.
>>220658378I can't wait for this film to be a box office bust.
>>220658378I swear there was a black Achilles at some point and it flopped, why would they do it again?
I'm tired of niggers polluting my tv
>>220658378Ok? And? The Odyssey is specifically about the Hellenic world, not the entire world. She isn't making any type of a point with this.
>>220658378I just don't get why he wouldn't pick a hot black lady if he really wanted to cast a black lady as the lady whose whole thing is that she's hot.
>>220658378Should have gotten someone like Vanessa Williams like last time if they wanted to blackwash history.
