Hollywood is so terrified of its own audience that it's now locking comments and hiding replies on major trailers, because the woke remake is getting absolutely torched.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey second trailer is getting demolished with an 87% dislike ratio and hundreds of thousands of downvotes.

The official accounts immediately started locking comments and burying criticism.

This isn't smart marketing. It's panic. They know audiences are rejecting the race-swapping rewrite of Western classics and don't want the receipts visible.

Hollywood keeps forcing “modern” updates that trash source material, shove in diversity quotas, and then acts shocked when people tune out. Hiding comments just proves they know the product is toxic.

If even a prestige project with Nolan and a stacked cast can't escape the backlash, it's clear the era of woke blockbusters is hitting a wall. Audiences are voting with their wallets and dislikes.

Studios treating fans like enemies to silence only makes the revolt louder.

“ because the woke remake is getting absolutely torched.”

It is not. It’s not even out yet

Well, to be precise in Homer’s writings on Greek mythology, the only descriptions of Helen are:

1. “white-armed” (using the Greek word leukōlenos). So white or pale skinned

2. “lovely-haired” (or eukomos). Homer does not give her hair color

3. Homer does not explicitly mention the color of her eyes, but her gaze is often noted for its striking, god-like effect

Homer underscores her otherworldly beauty by noting that she looks “dreadfully like the immortal goddesses”.

Helen's beauty was supposedly "the face that launched a thousand ships." Since Wokeywood wanted to use a black actress to play a white Greek, it would be one thing if they used a truly beautiful black woman on par with, say, Iman, the widow of David Bowie, who was Somalian by birth. But the Lupita Nyong'o isn't even very good looking.

Iman:
