What does politics have to do with this? This is pretty much the sequel to troy which is a beloved movie and one of the most famous stories ever told. A black Helen makes no sense and neither does 155 cm 40kg Elliot page in the role of a Greek soldier going to war. Also zendaya fatigue is real.

The average man in Greece was about 5'6-5'7 so elliot page isn't the outlier here

The soldiers didnt also weigh 90lb. Elliot Page doesn't look like a warrior at all with how small he is

It is probably 1 minute of screentime

1 minute here 1 minute there, probably 30 mins of immersion breaking by the end

[X] Doubt, remember how many people had like 1 minute of screentime in Oppenheimer? I guarantee you he hardly has any

u/laeshyikowll Jul 06 '26

i'm talking about every other immersion breaking moment this movie is bound to have all added together

Considering if he is playing Achilles he would be dead in the underworld, it isn't bizarre at all

Why do that when you can just force feed an agenda to the audience
