[137th Gebirg]

I don't know what "Homer" looked like.

He was real yellow.

And even more before it was first written down, considering the poem was more than likely told orally for a long time prior.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the very first version that Homer ever recited to people was very different from the version that was eventually written down.

I’d be astonished if it wasn’t, especially since we’re not even sure there was a singular Homer.

If he did historical research it ended with him deciding the bronze age doesn't look cool enough because nothing seen in the trailer is period accurate.

This movie makes zero effort to resemble anything close to reality which brings me back to the question you refused to answer, why is the casting of a black woman the one thing many people complain about?

We all know the answer, it's racism, plain and simple.

Yeeaaahh, I've been waiting for that.
Probably in some cases, sure. But absolutely NOT in every case. Certainly not in my case. It should be possible to discuss this without someone throwing the standard blanket accusation. There can be other reasons, whether you can imagine them or not.

It's Pavlovian. This kind of thing is done deliberately to provoke a response.

I doubt that very much, I'm pretty sure Nolan cast the movie based on who he wanted to work with and who fit the roles. I find it very hard to believe he's really so petty that he would cast people in the movie just to piss off his potential audience.

If you look at other Nolan films, he seems to work with the same set of actors, so this makes sense to me.

By Nolan? That’s absurd.
