Real talk: Zendaya likely has a more similar skin tone to ancient Greeks than Matt Damon

Real talk, Matt Damon's DNA is a lot closer to it that Zendaya, though.

Also, aside from ebony sculptures, their artwork depicts a lighter toned people than Zendaya. Lots of blonde hair, too.

The skin tone isn't the issue, the issue is her face is all fricked up. She always looks like she's smelling a fart. She's one of the homeliest supposed "hot" chicks I've ever seen.

This is what I meant when I said her facial expressions make me laugh. It's horrible.

Your misconception is common because of recency bias, but before the spread of Islam and the Ottoman Empire Greeks were fair-skinned Mediterraneans.

So Athena will have that flat, disinterested, sarcastic attitude Zendaya brings to every role.

Guess it could work if that’s how Athena was in the source material. Been so long I don’t remember.

You think casting an actress for a major motion picture is as easy as typing in "Make a picture of Athena from The Odyssey" on Bing AI Images? .

Why don't you tell me why, of all people, I think that?

Even though I clearly laid out my thoughts in this thread, please tell me what I really think.

I honestly have zero idea what you are alluding to.

She sucks balls. If she was just some skinny white girl she’d be working at TJ Max.

There have to be better options, who can actually act, than Zendaya
