For the record, I think Lupita Nyong’o is incredibly beautiful. I mean she has a nearly perfect face. The issue is that Helen of Troy was Greek and described as fair and Musk is almost certainly correct that Nolan changed her race to fulfill the new diversity standards the Academy requires. And we should whine about that. It’s death to art.

@megbasham No. Undesirable… nothing to do with her skin color. No one is going to war over her. The point is lost the moment the audience is like … He spent 10 years away from Penelope.. for her?! Helen is supposed to represent the cost of physical desire. The plot now makes no sense.

@d_invenzione @megbasham A better casting choice would have been someone like Sasha Luss, whose features align more closely with the ancient description of Helen of Troy: x.com/baseonah/statu…

@Baseonah @d_invenzione @megbasham This woman is Russian, this how Helen Of Troy looked

@Baseonah @d_invenzione @megbasham Where did Homer describe her as a platinum blonde? She was described as fair haired, which could be light brown to sandy blonde…according to the peoples of the region the story takes place…

@Baseonah @d_invenzione @megbasham This person looks like she’s hasn’t eaten since the Great Depression.
