Tbf , Ancient Greeks did not look like Nordics.
Nordicism is no different than this.
GoHardLive@reddit
Ancient Greeks may looked like the top pics. How are you so sure about that ? Both Greeks and nordics are indoeuropeans.

How many blonde, blue eyed greeks do you know? Neither of the casts look anything like an average greek/balkan person.
bluecoldwhiskey@reddit
Exactly . And those who blonde and blue eyed are usually mixed .
bluecoldwhiskey@reddit
Greeks and Nordics are indeed IndoEuropeans but in this geography and climate ,it is unlikely that on average they were this white looking .
Northern Europeans portraying the important historical figures as Blue eyed white is almost no different than Blacks doing the same .

100% I don't get how some people can't understand this

Maybe we should chech this this

Homer literally described Achilles with gold or blond hair several times. I really dont care much about Helen but that Achilles choice is terrible.
lhookhaa@reddit
Yeah, but it's not a historic movie.
Ok-Exchange2711@reddit
I still found it disrespectfull towards the original work and to the Greek people. And no I am not a Greek.
MasterNinjaFury@reddit
2004 much better. At least it was a lot closer to reality.
bravo_six@reddit
That was supposed to be woman that launched 1000 ships? I dont mind her being black, but they could at least pick a hot black woman.
MasterNinjaFury@reddit
well tbh I was scared to mention that in case if I get reported but I also agree that this actor they chose is no where near beautiful actually the opposite of what beautiful Helen even means.
bravo_six@reddit
I wouldn't launch my fishing boat for this woman.

Bot account. 50 posts per minute and still has time to comment on bs.
canyoubelieveitt@reddit (OP)
I swear there is nothing more annoying than people like you. Where are the 50 posts per second? Spewing bs because you dont like certain topics. Just dont comment on the thread if it makes you mad, it really is that simple.
Primary-Dust-3091@reddit
I was talking about the guy I was responding to. He has literaly 50 posts today. Obviously 50 posts per minute was exaggerated but you get the point.
MasterNinjaFury@reddit
You mean op? Right? As I am not a bot lol. I haven't made a post in ages.
Primary-Dust-3091@reddit
No, I meant you, but I was wrong. You do have suspicions amount of posts though. Like you hadn't posted in a year and you posted 15 times in 5 minutes.
MasterNinjaFury@reddit
There's too many bots on these subreddit. You should see the other map subreddits with all the turk bots spreading propaganda

zulutune@reddit
How? The 2004 movie is one of my favorite movies.
kodial79@reddit
100% this.
Hopeful_Addition7834@reddit
I don't know this is a meme or they actually casted these people.
MasterNinjaFury@reddit
They literally casted these people lol. That african lady is playing as Helen lol.
Ok_Rise_4543@reddit
I think this is the actual cast but im not 100% sure those are the roles they are playing. But i think thats the case
Early-Show2886@reddit
This has become fashionable everywhere with American products. People want to show that they are not racist. You can find the same thing in other series, for example, In the Great or House of the Dragon.
oblivion_mike@reddit
It’s probably because it would have looked like a Turkish production

Good ol’ Nole really shot himself in both kneecaps with this project
Primary-Dust-3091@reddit
Do you bots never get tired of trying to stir shit up in this sub with this bs. Everyday there are 50 posts about this.
kodial79@reddit
Why are you talking to bots?
canyoubelieveitt@reddit (OP)
I have yet to see one besides this one lil bro
Plus-Gap1073@reddit
insert 534th Greek skin color joke
Time_Attorney3782@reddit
I think Ancient Greeks were woke.
Sea-Temporary-6995@reddit
Why is Helen not trans? Missed opportunity there.
rintzscar@reddit
It's going to be a good film with good actors, who are horribly miscast. People who go to the theatre will probably like it. People who go to the cinema will probably dislike it.
kodial79@reddit
I think Page plays Elpenor.
