@Phlyers24 Just blanket statement for African is retarded. Africa is massive and the ethnic difference vary wildly through out. Maybe it would’ve been fine to cast an Egyptian or something. But no, Mediterranean people weren’t pitch black like Lupita.
@unusual_whales Well mens jobs are often dangerous and physically laborious. Maybe it’s a good thing so they can move into safer occupations in the future.
I’m cool with most of the casting. Travis Scott whatever. The multicultured soldiers whatever. But why is Helena played by Lupita and why is Zendaya playing Athena. Like do we really need to race swap greek mythology? It’s like race swapping jesus and then ask why ppl are put off.
@Syke_13@damngooodcoffee@waltermasterson Ya im sure the egyptians are not happy about those movies lol. But I guess it’s less noticeable since egyptians are more racially ambiguous.
@Syke_13@waltermasterson Bring up a movie that came out in the last decade where black characters were played by any other race. Also Egyptians aren’t black in the traditional sense.
@TheTsengMao@waltermasterson Nope, they should find an Egyptians to play her or someone that resembles an Egyptian (Someone that looks North African). Id say it would be more ideal.
@BattsWilliamjr@waltermasterson@damngooodcoffee Yes, they would be full of Greek people which are not black generally and especially not back then. And even if there were some black people they would not be in the roles shown.
@waltermasterson@damngooodcoffee Blackness isn’t a fucking theme. Wakanda is set in Africa so they are black. The odyssey is set in greece. Understand?
@BigPrimo33@waltermasterson@damngooodcoffee I know you are this stupid. The point is that blackness, whiteness or yellowness is purely based on where the story set in. Not some random theme made up in your head. Wakanda is set in Africa and this is set in greece. Simple as that.
@C13MFanang0@Morfedel2069@waltermasterson What are you saying even saying? Ofcourse it matters. Lets say the entire cast was black/asian. It would be weird as fuck. So it just that to a lesser degree.
