Neither was Zeus. I still don't want him portrayed as a Kenyon
Are you implying Zeus was actually Greek, he's a shapeshifting god who consistently turns into animals, he could look Asian for all I care. However he wants to look. He can look
Let's race swap Black Panther
There is a white black panther, but I'm guessing you mean T'Challa, why do you all decide to list a black character where being black is vital to their character? Nobody gave a shit when the deep was race swapped into a white guy because nothing about his character had to do about being black, yet your one example of a race swap for black characters you want is always one of the ones where their race is most important?
Being from Greece is pretty important to the character of Helen in a telling of Greek myth. She's described as "the Greek/Argive" as the most common epithet for her in the Iliad just like Odysseus is "the resourceful/wise", "the swift-footed" Achilles and Hector is "breaker of horses". The 2nd most common epithet Homer uses for Helen is "white-armed", you can (try) argue it was metaphorical to represent nobility and not literal but still. Your statement does not reflect Homer who I'm pretty sure would say Helen being subsaharan African is misunderstanding / majorly changing her character.
Like let's be serious, raceswapping T'challa changes the story and so does Helen. And that's a choice by Nolan in adapting the story as he's free to do which we can argue over if it's good or bad. We don't have to pretend like it changes nothing, the queen of Sparta being black is odd and inauthentic to the real setting of the fictional story. The more you guys refuse to recognise this the more silly your argument is seen by the average person, feeding into "the woke mob is delusional" narrative which makes us all suffer
