@Stunt_ManMik3 @only1sisso And Thor is fictional too, yet people would still expect a film about Norse gods to resemble Norse culture and characters. “It’s fictional” doesn’t magically erase cultural and historical context.

@only1sisso Helen is fictional and was birthed from an Egg……

Lupita Nyong'o is not my first choice for Helen....but neither was Diane Kruger. I can admit that Diane Kruger is beautiful, but she's just not my type. To pretend that Lupita isn't beautiful is nonsense. She may not be your type, but she is beautiful.

@Stunt_ManMik3 Nobody said Lupita Nyong’o isn’t beautiful because she’s absolutely stunning. That’s not even the argument. The issue is whether the casting fits the historical and Greek cultural context of the character being portrayed.

@NationalAnthUSA @BBGreatMoments Lol. He posted monster numbers in the steroid era.

@BBGreatMoments Maddux. That soft tossing nerd would get shelled today.

You’re building a four-man pitching rotation, everyone in their prime. Who do you cut?

@JustinBerkobien False. Elijah mocked the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:27), Isaiah mocked idols (Isa. 44), and Jesus called literally false teachers blind guides and whitewashed tombs. Scripture repeatedly condemns false religion and idolatry.

Jesus didn’t disparage other religions. Christians shouldn’t either.

@JmScar8 @OwenShroyer1776 Oh brother, where art thou is literally the Odyssey. Are you offended that the coen brothers adapted it to a story that fits their vision? If you want to read the original poem in iambic pentameter and use your imagination and you are free to do so.

This really says it all, doesn't it?

@DefNotDarth @OwenShroyer1776 That’s a terrible comparison lol. One was a comedy and intentionally a loose adaptation of The Odyssey, while Nolan’s film is clearly attempting to prtray an ancient Greek setting and characters of Homer’s Odyssey. Surely you know the difference?

@waximij @DefNotDarth @OwenShroyer1776 Either way, that has nothing to do with the argument. The point is about respecting the Greek cultural and historical context of the source material rather than bowing to DEI BS.

@JmScar8 @DefNotDarth @OwenShroyer1776 You never read either book. That’s the issue.

@waximij @DefNotDarth @OwenShroyer1776 It's been since high school but I've read them both

@DefNotDarth @Squeegex2 @OwenShroyer1776 I know you’re getting ratioed in the comments, but are you intentionally trying to miss the point? Whether Achilles appears alive or as a shade in The Odyssey is completely irrelevant. The discussion is about respecting the Greek cultural and historical context of the source.

@Squeegex2 @JmScar8 @OwenShroyer1776 You know the only mention of him in the odyssey is as a drained shadow, with no strength or vitality like a living person. You idiots don’t even know the stories you’re pretending to care about. Not that it matters anyway.

@timotheeology Do tell, how exactly did they know it was Mary? They must’ve had a picture of her lying around to verify it, because we all know Satan or demons would never disguise themselves as something holy. 🙄

109 years ago today, Our Lady began appearing monthly to 3 young children in Fatima, Portugal Happy Fatima Day!

@DefNotDarth @OwenShroyer1776 You’re missing the point entirely. Nobody said filmmakers can’t change characters. The issue is ignoring the historical and Greek cultural context of the source material. If a white actor played a character intended to be black, people would immediately call it out.

@JmScar8 @OwenShroyer1776 Considering this movie is a fictional adaptation of a fictional text that doesn’t actually include the human character of Achilles? He can take the form of a dog if the filmmaker wants to do so.

@Sachinettiyil Paganism

They said Catholic faith is dead in Europe Meanwhile Fatima today: 250000 Catholics proclaiming their faith

@BreeSolstad So a mass participation in idolatry.

The images coming out of Fatima tonight are truly breathtaking. While the world burns, devout Catholics join together as one to pray for the intercession to the glorious white lady of peace—Our Lady of Fatima. In the end, her Immaculate Heart will triumph!

@DefNotDarth @OwenShroyer1776 Regardless of the title of the movie Do tou think Achilles was a transgender person? And Helen of troy was black?

@JmScar8 @OwenShroyer1776 Wut

@MankindAscends @Pontifex This take is more proof that liberal women are the most destructive force in the history of Western culture. Social media and the 19th Amendment were just gas on the fire.

@Pontifex What needs changing in the history book is that it’s Mary Magdalene who is the Mother of the whole Church. In fact, she is the twin soul of Jesus, and the Mother of All.

Mary is the Mother of the whole Church. Everyone can turn to her with filial confidence, certain of being heard, protected, and loved. #GeneralAudience

@Pontifex Mary is human and cannot hear prayers or intercede on behalf of anyone. Jesus is the only mediator and the only way. There is no other way. Repent of your blasphemy.

@DefNotDarth @OwenShroyer1776 Lol what? How does the title of the movie change who the characters are?

@OwenShroyer1776 You mean that you’re stupid? The top is the Iliad and the bottom is the odyssey. Two different adaptations of two different stories. You really think Achilles is a living character in the odyssey? Hahahahaha

@toriyamasmom @ClaimVsContext @farmingandJesus Exactly. Did he block you as well?

@JmScar8 @ClaimVsContext @farmingandJesus It's so stupid, they take a general claim about God's nature made in Scripture and assume it's necessary even though He took the form of a burning bush in the Pentateuch. So, even the Scriptures he's quoting contradicts his claim.

Jesus is God.

@toriyamasmom @ClaimVsContext @farmingandJesus Like clockwork, these heretics make baseless claims, intentionally twist scripture to try and support their nonsense, and when confronted with actual context, it’s straight to the block button like the cowards they truly are.

@ClaimVsContext @farmingandJesus Numbers was written more than a thousand years before Jesus's life. How does that interact with the Incarnation in any way? So, because God is not man, that means He could never take on the form of man, how does that follow?!

@ClaimVsContext @farmingandJesus Bro, all you’re doing is ripping verses completely out of context to support your ridiculous claims. Every passage you’ve posted is about God’s eternal, unchanging nature compared to sinful men, not whether God could take on human form.

@farmingandJesus 1 Samuel 15:29 "The Eternal One of Israel... is not a man. Deuteronomy 32:40 "I lift My hand to heaven and say: As I live forever..."
