"The face that launched a thousand ships."
People are saying, "Don't blame Lupita Nyong'o. The casting decision wasn't hers."
But she chose to accept the role, right?
Imagine if a white actor decided to play Michael Jackson, Barack Obama, or T'Challa.
They're saying The Odyssey is fiction. So, Black Panther is a comic book.
Can a white person play Black Panther?
Helen is one of the most important characters in The Odyssey. Her beauty plays a huge role in the story. She was Greek.
Casting a Black actress ruins everything.
She's a good actress, and people may find her beautiful. But that's not what Helen of Troy was like.
Woke Hollywood is destroying thousand-year-old history.
I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.
What does Zendaya have on Hollywood filmmakers that they keep casting her in almost every major upcoming movie?
She plays the same character every time. And no hate to her, but her acting range is limited.
Despite years in the industry, can anyone name even one scene from any of her movies where she delivered a truly outstanding performance?
So why do they keep choosing her over other talented actresses?
Robert Pattinson's reaction after Zendaya is described as a 'GODDESS' and the 'PERFECT' casting for Athena in The Odyssey sparks fan backlash
'...yeah'
The Odyssey begins by showing an African rapper with rasta in the role of a Greek poet. We Greeks are forced to watch our Greek history and culture being disgraced and mocked across the entire world. What is Nolan's real role in doing something like this instead of casting a Greek person speaking Greek? What's the purpose of casting someone with rasta in the Greek world?
I'll tell you. Nolan and Hollywood are the real racists and enemies of the West. They hate us Greeks. The simplest confirmation comes from the fact that when a film is about African history, they don't cast white people, only Africans. When it's about Chinese or Japanese history, they cast only Asians, and they even speak only in their own language. But now that the time has come for a film based on Greek history with Greeks, not a single Greek is cast, they don't speak even a bit of Greek, and they don't even respect Homer. So, for films about European cultures, Africans, Asians, and anything else must be cast, but when it comes to African culture, whites are not allowed to play those roles.
This is the real racism of Hollywood.
Hollywood is a cancer that rots your souls and enslaves your minds and spirits. They hate you and they want to destroy you. Never forget the real enemies of the West and of your race. Those who are in universities, the academics, teaching your children how to hate their ancestors instead of honoring them. Don't do them the favor. Love the Greco-Roman world and fight those who hate you.
Never forget the traitors who took everything as a joke and contributed to the plan to destroy Western civilization.
Messi has the most fraudulent career of any sportsman I’ve ever seen.
He used substances to enhance his growth, and FIFA didn’t do anything about it.
He robbed Nigeria at the Olympics when FIFA gifted him two undeserved penalties.
He failed to win a trophy for his country, and they automatically changed the Copa América from being held every four years to every year until he won it.
He won his World Cup with help, corruption, and scandals.
Now he’s about to win another World Cup with the same corruption and favoritism from referees and VAR.
He will never be the GOAT.
🚨 An Argentine football fan was interviewed and he said this about Messi 😳:
Interviewer: "As an Argentine, it's a shame, why?"
Argentine Fan: "Because he complains about everything. And he never gets punished for any of it. He always asks for a foul. On the goal that was disallowed against Egypt... he didn't see the foul, but he went up to the ref and told him that someone was down, that there was a foul. And no... That's why I don't— no, I don't feel represented like that, by someone who's a crybaby, always asking for things... First match, they didn't send him off, and they should have sent him off. He committed the same foul as the one they called on the Egyptian player."
Interviewer: "So, in general, you don't feel represented by Messi? You don't even feel like celebrating Messi's goals?"
Argentine Fan: "No, no. Look, I don't— say, a free kick, the referee makes the mark, he erases the mark with his foot, moves the ball further forward... and honestly, someone like that does not represent the true essence of football."
Speaker 2: "Not even Argentinians like Messi anymore. I really hope Argentina loses."
La FIFA prohíbe las manifestaciones políticas por parte de los jugadores, ya sea mediante pulseras, camisetas, mantas o incluso cánticos.
A Rodri y a Morata los suspendieron un partido por cantar “Gibraltar es español” durante la Eurocopa.
Ahora los jugadores de Argentina exhibieron una manta con la leyenda: “Las Malvinas son Argentinas”.
¿Adivinen qué va a pasar?
Absolutamente nada.
Trump: “Hoy hacemos públicos unos documentos que demuestran que la CIA recibió información sobre un complot específico del régimen de Maduro (Delcy Rodríguez era la vicepresidente) en Venezuela para hacer precisamente eso: conspirar para manipular digitalmente las elecciones de su propio país en 2020. Esta información incluía detalles precisos sobre los métodos que el régimen desarrolló para alterar digitalmente los recuentos de votos de tal forma que no pudieran detectarse ni siquiera mediante una auditoría.
Esta información de inteligencia pone de relieve por qué debemos tomar medidas urgentes para garantizar que nuestros propios sistemas nunca puedan ser pirateados ni comprometidos.
🚨🗣 Granit Xhaka on why he was smiling after Embolo's red card against Argentina:
"It was at that moment I realized everything people have been saying against Argentina was true, we were not just playing against 11 men but far more than that"
"I couldn't help but smile because you just can't fight the higher authority"
Hicieron una película de 26 minutos con todos los robos de Lionel Messi y su equipo en este Mundial. 😭😭😭😭
El Camino de Argentina hacia la Final - La Película
Gane o pierda el Mundial,Messi es el gran perdedor del torneo. Gracias a este Mundial el mundo abrió los ojos y su leyenda ha caído en el cajón de los tramposos como Armstrong, Marion Jones o J Mühlegg.
Es un antes y un después. Podrá ganar la Copa, pero el respeto ya lo perdió.
People hate to admit it, but there’s nothing special about Argentina’s football. Without the refs and FIFA, they wouldn’t have made it this far. They’re still here because FIFA is making money from them.
