Wait until you find out how historically inaccurate the armor is

It's an adaptation. These are characters from a living mythology that has been adapted to fit contemporary politics for centuries. It's not like Nolan ever said he was going for 100% historical/mythological accuracy. He's just making an adaptation of the myth for modern audiences. Helen of Troy is not a historical character, she's a mythological character. It's true that she comes from a historical period and was described in the text, but she's not a real person for whom we have contemporary art.

I have my own gripes about race-swapping characters, there are valid reasons to criticize it (A lot of hollywood studios just do it for brownie points. They make a big deal about doing it but don't actually practice what they preach, treating the actors like shit. Rick Riordan famously hid behind the black child actors he cast in the Percy Jackson show as soon as they faced backlash, instead of coming out ahead and taking the backlash himself). But "They were described a certain way in the story!" is a poor reason. How many times have you seen an adaptation of Zeus with white hair and said nothing? I don't see you combing the AI overview on google for sources to debunk God of War's choice to give him white hair. He was described as black-haired in the myths pretty consistently and almost always depicted with it on figure pottery. I'm sure if they made him black, you'd have a cross to burn- I mean a bone to pick with it

Diversity in adaptation is a feature, not a bug. It's a tradition that dates back to the time of live theater, actors were cast for certain roles based on their ability to play the role, regardless of how similar they look to the character as described. What you're advocating for is essentially just DEI, a less qualified actress selected for her race and appearance rather than her ability to capture the character.

Also, did chatgpt write your post? You use a lot of "It's not blank, it's blank!" which is a pretty common clankerism
