1/2 ?

I highly doubt it. But check the books on the one she is playing.

No. This movie just looks odd as hell even without the tranny casting.

The only people who thought it would be Achilles are people who enjoy being outraged.

So now there's outrage about possible outrage before the movie even comes out? I think we've lost the plot here.

I’m not the one who made a bunch of AI clips of Ellen as Achilles.




Oh, here’s a wiki entry…

He is not mentioned by Homer, but his story is given in the Aeneid of Virgil and other accounts, as a treacherous agent of the Greeks who misleads the Trojans, encouraging them to bring the Trojan Horse inside the city.

Welp, the treachery part fits.

Yeah, you’re just a sheep being herded. It’s okay to have your own thoughts and not be confined to group thought. That goes for both socio-political spectrums.

So does that make me only half sheep? Because black Helen of Troy was 100% spot on. These aren’t announcements made by the director. Ellen as another Greek warrior… You really do want to claim some sort of victory with this though don’t you?

Nope. Not at all.

I’ve been fairly clear that when criticism is deserved it should be discussed. I also have stated being rage baited and pre-triggered over an X account or Wordpress blog with 20-something views is nonsense. I guess I’m just a whiny bitch that prefers to actually discuss movies and tv shows on TD M/TV board. Go figure.

Because most of the time it's false. There's an entire industry now that's dependent on ragebait. That's why there's so much nonsense that gets thrown at us every week it seems

Anything can turn out to be true, that’s why I always tell people to not deal in absolutes.

However, for every clickbait, ragebait to get people triggered that end up being true, there are many more examples of absolute bullshite to rile up the sheep masses.

Those guys will pull out the ole reliable “well things are so crazy these days don’t you think it’s bad enough that it COULDVE been true?”



But they aren't wrong. She's, a 5'1" woman, playing a Greek warrior. That makes sense in no one's mind except white guilt stricken leftists.

However, her character choice couldn't be more fitting.

Where was the rage bait for Hail Mary? Backrooms? Obsession?

It’s only rage bait for bad big studio movies.

Why would anyone start rumors with these types of films no one expected these big breakouts. For example, were you gonna get upset if obsession starred a black person over Inde Navarette?

Or are just tired of being relentlessly beaten over the head by Hollywood with race-swapping and blatant propaganda that has done nothing but send the quality of movies down a long shite covered slope.

Exactly. And Hollywood continues to do it.

Next up: the movie is released.

If it does well, “See! SEE! People liked it anyway! frick you racists, bigots, transphobes!”

If it doesn’t do well, “the damn racists, bigots, transphobes killed it!”

Making my point. It’s a solid story regardless. There didn’t need to be any advocacy castings like we’re seeing in The Odyssey.

I see you omitted Hail Mary. I could’ve easily said Spider-Man no Way home, or Top Gun Maverick.
