Some people online say the characters sound too contemporary, while others question whether the casting fits the world of Homer’s ancient epic.

WHAT!

Are movie goers finally tired of Black people in 17th century European royal court dramas?

It can't be.

Can it be that people are at least educated enough to know (and care) that people in the 5th century BC didn't speak with 21 century AD idioms?

Can it be that people are finally tired enough of the Woke nonsense coming out of Hollywood that they are willing to publicly voice their ire?

I don't believe it, but I can hope.

This is the summer of haircuts. Spielberg, Nolan, Star Wars Disney, Gunn all taking a hit. Only movie that might be safe is Spider Man. That’s a perennial.

My sister loved "Queen Charlotte". Totally ridiculous.
