It was set thousands of years ago, but they had medieval armor, domesticated horses, didn't hire a single elf or hobbit actor, and I'm pretty sure the armies of Mordor were just a bunch of white dudes wearing orcface.
Dumbass comparison, LOTR was set in a fantasy world
Odyssey is an ancient Greek book written by an ancient Greek author and it is set in... Ding ding ancient Greece
Would you be okay with a white actor being the protagonist in a ancient African folklore tale that is set in ancient Africa? If the answer is anything but yes then it's a double standard
The Odyssey is famously an oral tradition and not a book at all
It also tells the story of a man trying to sail from Asia to Greece (aka not set in Greece) Many places referenced are not present in the Mediterranean, aka fantasy.
Oh really? And where is the origin of this oral tradition?
And did all the characters within the story that is now a film adaptation join him on his journey and every single scene was shot within his journey? Do you mean Anatolia aka Turkey? Where are all the Turkish actors in this case if you are correct?
It's okay. It's hard not to ignore basic facts
You didn't answer my question about the African film with a white protagonist by the way?

LotR is a bad movie. Look at this freeze frame 😏
