Hollywood gets hard everytime they get the chance to shit on something, why be accurate adapting something when they can shit all over it and call the people who complain racists and bigots?
I get that but they would have a shield with the Iliad. They know for years that there has been a backlash on woke. Better play it safe.

It's fighting the culture war in the open, and virtue signalling at the same time. They don't want to be subtle and use subjects that lend themselves to filming with a diverse cast, or include a diverse cast in a way that doesn't clash with the source or the adaptation people are already familiar with. They don't even want to play it safe by making an all-black or all-Asian version of a story and presenting it as its own variation, to stand alongside the original (like The Wiz, or Brandy's Cinderella special). They need to very obviously break the old version and rewrite/reshape it in their own way.

It's not, or not only, about breaking even. If it was all about making money, they would consider the international market, China in particular, where blacks are not at all popular.

It's basically violently raping Western culture into submission and they want those discussions about obviously unsuitable casting choices as long as it's necessary to drive home the lesson that multicultural mix good, desire for homogenity bad and totally Nazi (also, we have always been at war with Eurasia). They keep doing it to spite and to fight the backlash on woke,

That would have been understandable years ago. Now, they know that a backlash can tank a box office. Also, they would get noise even with the Iliad. They would weather it better though.

they don't care, they are the media arm of the Globohomo Elite who want you dead, your children and wives raped, and they think its funny, this is outright propaganda war, and also every bit of shit like this is open declaration of hatred, you WILL live in the slums of the movie Elysium and you WILL like it.

They care. They lost too much money on films. The fires burned their homes. They might want to push propaganda but they care about their villas and martinis too. It isn't 2017 anymore.

You are more annoying than any of the faggots you're upset about

The rules for electing movies for awards still are up, though. You still can't be selected for Oscars unless you have minorities cast for certain roles.

That is what I am saying! The Ethiopians (black) and the Amazons (women) had sided with Troy for this conflict. They could have cast minorities if they did the Iliad and it would be accurate. On the other hand, the Odyssey is set in white places. It doesn't work.

I'm more annoying than the entire left-wing global apparatus trying to create their utopia on the backs of millions and millions of murdered good men and women?

damn I'm fucking GOOD.
He's right, you're an annoying autistic dipshit.
Your MO is to talk out of your ass, until another user inevitably smacks your faggot mouth, and calls you out on your pretentious and retarded posts.
It's what happens in every thread I've seen you.

I've seen this on /tv/ but I still refuse to believe it.
Outside of severe dementia, I don't know why he would do this.
 
They can just use the Pajeet CGI magic they did in Oppenheimer to remove the nudity to fix it.

Fucking around in photoshop to mimic the shitty CGI black dress added to Oppenheimer, my results weren't great.

What is fascinating is that just using an AI prompt, I could easily get a much better looking Black Helen of Troy.

I agree they are deliberately choosing the most incongruous and unnatural way to have black characters over better options. They could have included the canonical Ethiopians if they wanted. Athena and Zeus can only help Odysseus because Poseidon is away in Ethiopia at a party they are throwing for him. Just cut to him there a few times. There is also a natural place for flashbacks to the Trojan War when Odysseus listens to Homer's possible self-insert character sing what's basically the Iliad.

In fact, most of the story in the poem is told via flashbacks that he's narrating on Phaeacia after he washes up there alone with no ship and his crew already dead.

"Yes, that is I, Odysseus of Ithaca, sacker of cities, son of Laertes. You are probably wondering how I got into this situation..."
