@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Literally said the original adaptation was wrong to make Helen white but go live in your bubble where you must be the victim
@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Now you know Roman and Greeks are in fact not the same. Not as fruitful in teaching you how to comprehend language but you'll get there one day.
@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Never blamed the actor. But sure keep living in a world where everyone who disagrees with you must be bigoted.
You started the conversation not knowing Roman and Greek are different things. Maybe do some soul searching on how much respect you have for others.
@lowercas33@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj there’s the real argument 😂 Black actor in a Greek myth = “go make an African version ngr.”
white actors playing everybody else for 100 years = “classic cinema, America!” Can u stop dressing up the double standard as respect for tradition you’re making yourself look dumb
@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj And? Where have I said that white washing is good.
Just respect the stories you're adapting and respect the traditions they come from.
If you wanna do an adaptation, do it tastefully. Make it fully set in a beautiful African historical equivalent. It's not hard.
@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj I am? When did I blame anyone but Nolan and the directors of the movie?
You're creating images in your mind because in your world the only criticism for anything involving a black person comes from a racist person.
@lowercas33@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Listen guy keep saying “token Black person” like Black actors are sitting in boardrooms greenlighting $100M movies 😂 Hollywood leadership has been mostly white for decades. if u think the adaptation is disrespectful, take it up with the studio execs, producers, directors, and…
@lowercas33@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Whose YOU???the ones green lighting it is White CEOS and white board of directors! You should be upset with them whites since you’re crying
@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Sohni Mahiwal is a very famous myth from my culture. If you adapted it and pretended it is set not across the river Chenab but across the Thames in Victorian England and Ranjha is a barrister from Lincoln's Inn, I'd be pretty pissed.
@lowercas33@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj So again we’re acting like Hollywood didn’t have a whole whitewashing factory in the 1900s?😂 William Mapother played Sgt. Jason Thomas, a real Black Marine, in World Trade Center. not mythology. not “fictional.” a real fxckin Black man. so stop pretending this only goes one way
@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Yes it is. The original Brad Pitt adaptation is just as retarded. The Hellenic people still exist in the world and identity with these stories and they're a part of the canon of an entire civilization.
Putting a token black person in there does nothing for anyone.
@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj You're using the idea of Hellenic people not being white and the story being mythological to justify distortion of culturally significant pieces into performative revisionism. And that is wrong.
@lowercas33@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj that analogy only works if The Odyssey was a closed living ethnic tradition like Shinto mythology. it’s not. it’s ancient Greek myth that’s been adapted endlessly. and “must look modern white” is also modernity
@KingoAD_@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Taking a culture's myth and imposing the values of modernity is absolutely a crime.
If you took Japanese or Chinese folk and made Izanagj a Pakistani dude, the criticism you would get would be absolutely valid.
@KingoAD_@esjesjesj As youre unable to spell when it can auto correct you. Also we are in a post about black race swapping its implied that this is what its about.
@Vaporizednspace@strongsG1138@LeaveHeardAlone@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj "one way direction"lol hollywood spent decades putting white actors in asian, arab, native, latino, north african, and even real Black roles. john wayne literally played genghis khan,now a myth adaptation has a mix casting and y'all cying.hypocrisy
@KingoAD_@strongsG1138@LeaveHeardAlone@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj Doesnt change the fact that people are tired of race swapping in a one-way direction. Its not just "fictional" people being replaced, so people are just done with it. This is why i said you are just trying to be obtuse.
@Vaporizednspace@strongsG1138@LeaveHeardAlone@BeGreaterBullet@esjesjesj ancient Greek/Mediterranean people don’t equal modern American white/Nordic default ( fact)They had a bunch of identities (fact) and since this is a myth adaptation, mixed complexion casting isn’t the historical crime your dumbass is pretending it is
@KingoAD_@esjesjesj So are Irish people are not white since we are using your logic? no wonder they keep replacing red heads with blacks. Same goes for a lot of other Europeans, guess there is really no such thing as white.
