@Gothams_Kitchen @M446856M A day late and a dollar short.

@GeneNLeslie1 @NoodleStand @krimzen73 @citizens_sanity There's at least three different studies cited between those two articles, bro.
English

@TheDigitalJedi @NoodleStand @krimzen73 @citizens_sanity Hilarious. So much evidence that you cited the same one previously cited.
So much for “studies”.
English

They called our ads "VILE" and "INFLAMMATORY"—because they were true, and they worked.
They HATE us because we fight woke wherever we find it.

@GeneNLeslie1 @NoodleStand @krimzen73 @citizens_sanity Your "not normal ability" doesn't seem to be winning anyone any medals, tho.
You do realize blind runners also compete in non-Para athletics...right?

@TheDigitalJedi @Trap22Hold @RichardThNguyen @HomerPavlos You are not paying twitter since you can quote yourself without it.

In the official document which shows that the Greek state granted 6.5 million euros directly from citizens’ taxes as a subsidy to Chris Nolan’s production, we read that the film was originally titled "CHARLIE'S TALE" and not "ODYSSEY", a title it was later changed to. Additionally, the Greek Ministry of Culture classifies it as "Fiction".
Chris Nolan can cast a black Helen and Athena, a Mexican Eumaeus, a transgender Achilles or Elpenor, a Batman-like Agamemnon, space marines as the Laestrygonians, or a black rapper as a Greek poet. He can base the script on the worst possible translation, one that distorts the entire meaning of the Homeric poems, and even replace Argos the dog with a cat. But it will never be the Odyssey. It will be "Charlie's Tale".
Christopher Nolan disrespected the Greeks and we will never forget that.

@Van101Martinez @HomerPavlos Then you also believe that Helen was a real person that hatched out of an egg.
Maybe you aren't getting enough sleep.
English

@TheDigitalJedi @HomerPavlos Helen of Troy wasn't the daughter of Zeus which is a god, which represent an elemental force from the the theosophy of Hésiode. And yes, I believe in the Theosophy of Hésiode. Good night.

@Panagio3309288 @Trap22Hold @RichardThNguyen @HomerPavlos I know that you paid Twitter so you could try to sound authoritative while still being wrong.
Hollywood has been casting non-whites and other races to play main characters for decades. Your outrage is fake.

Gotta love the screading over racially diverse casting in a mythological adaptation, as if Nolan is the first person to ever do this in the history of mythological adaptations. Yet in 100 years no one had frak all to say about it.
English

You don't have a clue.
Cinema always had a reverence towards Greece. Even completely imaginary adaptations (like Hercules with Kevin Sorbo) had a substratum of respect. They may have exaggerated or even fabricate, but they never used OUR CULTURE AS A TOOL TO ADVANCE THEIR FUCKING AGENDA.
And this is what this DEI stooge Nolan does: he takes the most sacred of all of our myths, he even is as disgraceful as taking money out of us, and then he says "right, how can we do DEI out of it?"
Sorbo's Hercules was popular in Greece during the 90s (despite what the philologists were saying about its inaccuracy), because the core message was "wow, Hercules was great". Which we were fine with it. Not like the whore who translated Homer to shit upon him, or like Nolan who has as a top priority how to push socialism through our culture.
P.S.
And regarding the nationality/race of the actors, two things:
a. Hollywood movies on Greek themes always had some Greek actors, even in minor roles. Some of them we knew that were mediocre actors who got in there just because they wanted to have at least some original Greek, some of them were good actors who were given big roles (like Irene Papas). Nolan is the first one who has made a film on Greek topics who considered a priority to get someone from Kenya but not from Greece.
b. Ireland doesn't say daily "Greeks are an abomination", "you should be ashamed to be Greek", "kill all Greeks", and then when the time comes to make a movie about Alexander they say "you know what, let's give the role to an Irish". If this was the case, be sure of the reaction. As be sure of the reaction now. Daily you disparage whites with the filthiest ways possible and then when it is time to make a movie you say "you know what, let's give Helen to a non-white actor". And you think that we can't put the two together and see that the former (your anti-white hatred) is the exact reason of the latter? Do you think you will gaslight us?
c. And the worst thing of all is that we have all of you sophists going around trying to convince us that you know better than us what Homer said, that you can give us a lesson on the meaning of our words, that you can say "you know what, it isn't sure that Helen was white". Man, the second most popular female name in Greece is Helen. Because it combines Christianity with the beauty icon of ancient Greece. Do you think we don't know who she is and we expect some DEI crapfest to form our minds?
English

@SirBylHolte @Kuriaki_Hen @mahler9 What are the circumstances of having sex with a god of Olympus while disguised as a fowl and then laying an egg...exactly?
English

Hollywood was created by white men. They employed mostly white people. When they wanted to cast foreign roles, they used who they had under contract.
Was that wrong?
Maybe, but they dont do it now so let's move on.
And Helen of Troy cannot be black without having the circumstances that black skin brings with it.
English

True, "The Odyssey" is a work of fiction.
But Christopher Nolan's version is a work of PARODY.
He didn’t just cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy by accident.
It isn’t a random race-swapping.
It’s a direct, intentional attack on the Western ideal of feminine beauty.
For thousands of years, the West celebrated the fair-skinned woman:
Pale complexion, large breasts, shapely hips, graceful features, sensual but refined — the face that launched a thousand ships.
Nyong’o is the deliberate opposite on every count.
And that’s the entire point.
If they’d cast her as a servant, a witch, or some side character, the outrage would be mild.
But they put her in the role of Helen of Troy — the literal gold standard of European feminine beauty in our foundational myths.
It’s not about "diversity" or “representation.”
It’s about telling White people their beauty standard is invalid - while forcing everyone else to accept the new one.
Christopher Nolan just SOLD US OUT by helping them do it on the biggest stage possible.

@SirBylHolte @mahler9 Her father was Zeus. He took the form of a swan and had sex with her mother. Who then laid an egg which hatched Helen. Black skin is the least of the difficult things to grasp in this story.
English

Oh now i follow you. Look, as a man with black skin, i know all the questions that i have when a black actor takes a white or white-adjacent role.
If Helen of Troy is black, who are her black parents?
Where is her black family?
Where is the homeland for the rest of the people who look like her?
It simply doesnt make sense and pulls me right out of the picture.
English

@TheDigitalJedi @HomerPavlos I signal to you that , Hollywood , showbiz, french showbiz, Parisians tell that Spanish women were raped by Arabs since the arabo Muslims slavery. So that the Spanish are Arabs. And they tell the same thing about french, Italian, Greeks women. And that what's told by Nolan film.
English

@Van101Martinez @HomerPavlos I'm not going to argue whether Zeus was real or not. Go on and be weird about it.
English

@TheDigitalJedi @HomerPavlos Mythology is history. You understand nothing, you're ignorant. So shut the fuck up. Nolan as the Parisians, tells that women of south Europe are bitches raped by invaders and give birth to bastards. Which is wrong. He lies about the origines of Greeks, he lies about history.
English

@vitor_motta10 I still see people who were complaining about it complaining about this one. So maybe it was all fake outrage to begin with.
English

@TheDigitalJedi Yes, they’re learning
Before they were only sharing ugly takes of her
Now they came with a good photo
Learn how to read and stop boot licking corporations, unless they’re paying you for it
English

This is the first time Milly Alcock looks good in anything about this movie
See DCU fans? They’re learning, so what about criticize your movies a bit so the studio can do better instead of attacking everyone who doesn’t glaze everything they do?
