Christopher Nolan didn't want orchestra music in the score for The Odyssey because orchestra music didn't exist in ancient Greece. Yet he casts brown people and almost no ethnic greeks. How can you justify not using an orchestra for a score because of historical accuracy but cast it for the modern day? I know it's two days and two Odyssey posts, I'll stop I promise.

Know what else they didn't have in ancient Greece? Iron armor. And movies.
I love how they could have put flamethrowers in the film and it would have been historically accurate but instead they put niggas and trains.
You can accept dragons, elves and talking trees, but you can't accept a 2021 BMW 5 Series 530i with optional heated seating. Why are you so bigoted?
I will default to my traditional response to this.
Dragons, elves, and talking trees are MORE realistic to me and I would believe in far more than I could ever believe in a black person exhibiting heroic traits on the scale necessary to fill this role. It is less shocking to see a car riding at Helms Deep than it is to see a black woman making a heroic last stand in defense of someone helpless.
Or IMAX cameras
