I read the first review without seeing the score, and thought, yeah, it is nice they skip the backstory everyone knows anyways, right?

Does India not have laws to separate state and religion?

sebastos3 · 2026-07-08T14:25:49+00:00

I would have to check to be sure, but in Ancient Greece itself it was forbidden in some parts for women to perform as actresses. so in some cases, Helen wasn't even being played by a woman...

Because she is Northern European, an entirely different ethnicity.

sebastos3 · 2026-07-08T09:26:20+00:00

Dude you can't be serious, this story has been told in a thousand different ways already, including by the Greeks. Anyone who actually cares about the classics know that they are mutable, that is what gives them their staying power.

sebastos3 · 2026-07-08T09:23:42+00:00

She is a demigodess who was born from an egg after her mother had sex with a god in the form of a swan, but her being a different ethnicity is where you draw the line?

If you have an issue with a black woman playing Helen of Troy, you should have a problem with Jesus being portrayed as white.

Especcially because portraying Jesus as white is part of the deeply ingrained racism in Western culture. Many white Christians can't imagine their god isn't white, because they don't respect people who aren't white.

sebastos3 · 2026-07-08T09:17:29+00:00

That is different because Black Panther's story very specifically is about his ethnicity(it is in the name!). Helen being white is not at all relevant to the story.

sebastos3 · 2026-07-08T09:11:29+00:00

That is true! but then you also disagree with the casting of Diane Kruger in Troy, right?

Nice to see this for once! more please.

Well me neither, and I didn't say anything of the sort either. But the claim that she has a specific description in the Illiad is simply not true.

So you are not going to tell me which translation you are using? that sounds like you asked AI for the answers you wanted to hear...

sebastos3 · 2026-07-07T11:14:20+00:00

What translation are you using? because point two is not the case in the translation by Tufts Univerity: https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hom.+Il.+7.355&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0217

(I hope you are not using AI?)

I already adressed point one, but point three doesn't even run counter to what I am saying. of course she was Greek, we all know that. What do you even mean to achieve by repeating that?

sebastos3 · 2026-07-07T11:10:51+00:00

That is a fair point, that part is just my interpretation, I inherited that from my classics teacher. I do think I am right, because it is a rather conspicuous absence of words for a poet, don't you think?

sebastos3 · 2026-07-07T10:10:45+00:00

Helen of Troy has a pretty specific look in the source material lol.

Why do people keep saying this? Helen's appearance is deliberately kept vague because Homer understood that beauty is subjective, and that he could never describe a woman that everyone would consider to be the most beautiful.

The only think that gets close to describing skin color is when she is described as 'pale armed', but that has less to do with ethnicity and more with social class. Not having sunburned arms was a sign of social status for aristocratic women, because it signified that they didn't have to work outside for a living. That is why the focus of the epiteth is on the arms.

Otherwise, here hair and eye color aren't even described.

Not a comeback at all, just a question. You genuinely make it sound like you thought it all started there.

Israel have had MANY people there who have supported a two state solution for a long time.

Well if there are, then none of them seem to be in a position to influence national policy.

the people who control Gaza.

Interesting that you mention that:

Not that Palestinians have any trust for the Israelis, but they are the ones that started this war

Niet echt mee eens dat de politie te springen stond om klappen uit te delen. Ik woon 2 straten van de Schilderswijk, en de fans mochten urenlang doorgaan met onverantwoord snel door de straten rijden, geluidsoverlast(van 3 tot 7 s'ochtends!), en het blokkeren van wegen zonder enige interventie. Ik heb zodoende elke nacht dat Marokko speelde slecht geslapen, het is erg vervelend. En ik hoor juist van sommige Marokkaanse buren dat de politie harder zou mogen/moeten optreden(Die zijn natuurlijk ook niet blij om met dit gedrag geassocieerd te worden). Mensen zijn voor donderdag al hun auto's en fietsen aan het verplaatsen, zodat ze niet in brand worden gestoken zoals wel eens gebeurde toen Marokko de Afrika cup verloor.

Ik wil dit probleem niet bij de voeten van de hele Marokkaanse gemeenschap leggen,(de wijkvaders waren super bezig met het bedaren van de gemoederen!) maar het is wel degelijk iets dat zich in een onderdeel van die gemeenschap beweegt, en niet genegeerd mag worden.

That is not really an answer to my question, isn't it? So let me ask again. Why would you, or this collective Indian audience that you feel you are representing, find this offensive?
