I don’t like lupita because she played that awful role in 12 years a slave, and I don’t think she’s that good of an actress. It was BS how the lead roles didn’t go to Black Americans. Having said that, she’s the same amount of pretty as the other “Helen of Troys”. I personally would have casted Taylor Page because she’s more stunning and lupita is like “safe” pretty. I also feel like she caters to a certain set of yt men who would say “I don’t like black girls”, then date black Africans because they are “exotic”

Also, I like the idea of Helen of Troy being a woman with physical appearance which would have been unfamiliar to people at the time. Why would men go to war for a woman they see thousands of every day?

why can't Hollywood actually tell stories from Africans/Afro-Carribeans/Black Americans instead of making everyone else black.

I feel like people forget, THIS ISN'T A REAL STORY, THE TROJAN WAR DIDN'T HAPPEN LIKE IT DID IN THE ODYSSEY, NONE OF THIS IS REAL

HELEN OF TROY WAS A FICTIONAL CHARACTER HER skin color DOESNT MATTER. One of my coworkers was bitching about it last night and then brought up Halle as the little mermaid and went off and I’m just like “she’s half fish, dude…”

why is everybody’s beef with Helen of Troy and not any of the other characters that are not Greek? Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Travis Scott.

Idk yes mythology isn’t real but why never follow the freaking real myth even if it’s just a myth it’s still link to a culture 😭

All I am going to say is that live action Moana understood the assignment. When they told their fictional story steeped in Polynesian culture and heritage, they hired Polynesian actors to represent their Polynesian culture and heritage, thus preserving the authenticity of story. Same people who preach representation is important in movies and the same people who criticized Gods of Egypt for race swapping and not having Egyptian actors to play the gods are suddenly ok with no Greek representation of a movie about a Greek story that has been a part of Greek culture for over 2500 years because it is just “fiction” but no one is ready for that conversation about hypocrisy.

I don’t understand why people dont imagine that anyone was black in the Mediterranean at that time? Like geographically it makes sense even if it wouldn’t have been as common?

As a Greek, her skin color was not the problem. The lack of Greek representation was. Yes, Odyssey is a myth but it’s based on historical context.

“the actors should be greek!!” well then you should be upset that most of the white actors aren’t greek either, the only thing different about lupita is that she’s a black woman. if you only have a problem with her, then you’re just racist.
