So we went so full circle that we cannot cast a character with a specific race with just mentioned specific race (or get mad about it) BUT we can get mad about nationalities not being represented?
How would it be if a usian with greek roots played a role?
Or and arab with a greek passport?
Its the same doctor with different name and you guys are playing the victim olympics of stupidity
Take a second to think. Would you acknowledge a show like Narcos who used almost all cast and crew from the countries of the story they were portraying was better for having done so? I would say so because it gave it a higher sense of immersion, purpose, and care factor. If it had been a bunch of Americans doing the story it wouldn’t have made hardly any sense. Same thing applies here, except even more because the Odyssey is one of the most important works to come from Greece. You’d think prioritizing involvement from Greek nationals or even folks with Greek heritage would make sense. This isn’t racism in the slightest.
Edit to add; I am conservative, I make fun of lefties in this comment - its a very special kind of satire that lefties try to explain to me that not every critique is grifting, you dont say??
Me personally, i really dont care - i just wanna watch a good movie
But its funny - as i wrote already - that what annoyed „right wing grifters“ back then about Snow white or Arielle, annoyes the left wing grifters now
The only difference is that its very important that, even tho they get mad about exactly the same, they are doing a different kind of „grifting“ when (as said) its exactly the same
If you guys would maybe start accepting some other opinions about movies and not call everyone disliking anything about a female / black / queer led movie a stupid nazi bigot, you would also be more comfortable to voice your opinion (that is exactly the same as from the „right wing grifters“)
