From the team that brought you “Why is Snow White Latina?,” “Why are there Black people in ‘The Rings of Power?,’” and “Star Wars has gone woke,” comes the latest online onslaught against an anticipated Hollywood project that committed the unfathomable sin of having a diverse cast.
In recent days, Twitter trolls have formed a phalanx and pointed their sarissas squarely at “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan’s $250 million adaptation of Homer’s epic scheduled to hit cinemas July 17. They have not actually seen the film yet, mind you, but have nevertheless managed to work themselves into a lather over a pair of castings (though Page’s character isn’t even confirmed yet): Elliot Page as Achilles’ Ghost and Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy.

Hollyweird’s obsession with race/gender swapping is so unbelievably boring.
Ok, that’s funny right there!
And yeah, this is not even an attractive black woman. THIS is the face that launched a thousand ships? I don’t think so!
Hollywood's version:
And yes, Comment #12: It is cultural genocide of whites and our history, heritage and traditions.
We know the hell that would ensue if any traditional black character were replaced by a White.
Would this ever get a green light in Hollywood?
Just more racist BHitte from Holywood. Like that dipshitte insisting that Cleopatra was black ‘cause her Granny said she was.
Bonehead racist garbage, possibly to satisfy Oscar’s rules on racist hatred.
When you spot this you know that the crappola will follow.
“our heritage”
Some people see Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Seth, Noah, Enoch... as their “heritage”.
Some see Goldilocks & the 3 Bears as their “heritage”.
Is the heritage of a leftist different from the heritage of a right-winger? Is the heritage different for a leftist who converts to being a conservative.
What is “our heritage”?
Helen, so beautiful... Played by Whoopie Goldberg.
The author starts with a false premise and then goes from there. All his examples have lost hundreds of millions of dollars. The casting was the key issue and it is thoroughly documented, yet Hollywood continues to literally burn money in the street.
Nolan is a hack. His last 5 movies have been bad or overblown.
I'm looking forward to a remake of "Roots", starring Edgar Winter as Kunta Kinte.
Deliberately offending over half of America is no way for an American film to make money.
The could have AT LEAST DOUBLED their paying audience by casting these characters true to the place and original story.
They’re gonna find out how much woke is worth.
BTTT!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell is the ghost of Achilles? As a demi-God, are they going to have her go topless and show her scars where her breasts once were?
Nolan has just been hoist with his own petard.
They have not actually seen the film yet, mind you, but have nevertheless managed to work themselves into a lather over a pair of castings (though Page’s character isn’t even confirmed yet): Elliot Page as Achilles’ Ghost and Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy.
You don’t have to smell s___ to know that it stinks.
Hollyweird is demanding we eat their excrement sandwich...AND LIKE IT.
Hold yer breath while you wait, Hollyweird.
..The Moors were mixed-race people that were part African and Arabian...
That was a 1951 film, a long ago time and different era.
Today, the woke nonsense seeks to eliminate western culture and history.
I have issues with woke nonsense

You sound just like one of those screeching liberals who think their history is being "whitewashed."
Not think, know!
look around you and apply discernment.
