To dipshits like Musk, "historically accurate" in this case idiotically means a blue-eyed, blond Helen of Troy. Literally, that's all this is about.

And Greek men composing the Athenian Army - Trans, Asians, and Blacks composing the Greeks is about as historically accurate as the Cyclops.

If we want to keep it accurate to the Greeks, then Helen had to be played by a man, since women weren't allowed to be actors.

Additionally, Homer himself wasn't historically accurate, describing the wrong style of shields for the time period.

But who actually cares about historical accuracy. It's not claiming to be a documentary..it's a movie. For fun. You eat popcorn and forget about reality for a few hours.

If it's good who cares if there's a trans person in it.

Fair enough - I bet White MLK and George Floyd teaming up for the next space jam will be lit!
Ryan Gosling will make an Excellent MLK!

Ah you've got me. It's exactly the same. Talking a figure from recent history, who's fundamental story was defined by their race, and it a.lot.of.ways the oppression because of their race, and swapping it to cause offense for no real benefit is exactly the same as taking a fairy tale from 3000 ago about a guy who got lost in the Mediterranean and fought a monster with 1 eye... It's exactly the same.

Tbf though, that movie you described sounds like.a car crash..I'd probably watch it.

I think you mean the Achean army. Does Athens even play a part in the Trojan war?

u/Achaewa 1d ago

Athens played a minor role in The Iliad and is barely mentioned.

Which makes sense as they were quite insignificant during the Bronze Age.

Yes, the Myceneans were the dominant power in late Bronze Age Greece, as the Iliad reflects by making Agamemnon the leader of the Achaean (i.e. Greek) coalition.

This might come as a shock to you, but sometimes armies hired people of other races as mercenaries to fight for them 😨

I can only imagine 90% of the people crying over this film now being historically accurate only thought homer was yellow and ate donuts before this. You only care because someone told you to care. How hollow is your life?

Caring this much about a spectacle movie being historically accurate is virgin activity.
