As bad as this is, Helen of Troy likely never lived and was concocted for Homer’s fairy tale
but Anne Boelyn, mom of Queen Elizabeth 1, really did exist and I’m pretty sure she wasn’t from East Africa, a fact that apparently eluded the show runners for this TV crap fest.
What planet am I on?
She’s a 7 at best.
Hollywood loves burning billions of dollars pushing this diversity bullshit with stupid casting and then blaming us for not going to see their subpar product.
Stop whitewashing history. They have a woman playing Appolo also. Plus other bad casting which will kill it.
Waiting for a white Shaft.
