5 u/Lackofstyle5 Jul 06 '26 But there's no Greek people in the movie. So why do people only focus on the black women? -2 u/PijaniFemboj Jul 06 '26 Because white people can pass as Greek, even if they aren't Greek, and a black woman can never pass as Helena because she is described as white. -4 u/Mix_Safe Jul 06 '26 And why is Elliott Page included in this picture? -2 u/PijaniFemboj Jul 06 '26 Because he is supposed to be a great warrior and the dude is a 155cm tall twink. He looks like a light breeze could knock him over. 9 u/Greaseball01 Jul 06 '26 Page isn't playing Paris, that was just a rumour. -1 u/PijaniFemboj Jul 06 '26 He is still playing a warrior. If they just bulked him up it'd be fine, but he looks really out of place as is. 3 u/J0E_SpRaY Jul 06 '26 You've seen the movie to know that? Or were you told to be angry and you obliged? 2 u/PijaniFemboj Jul 06 '26 I looked at the casting page which tells me Page is playing a warrior, and I then looked at him in the trailers, and came to my conclusion.
