do you think a Nubian actor would be more offensive to the ancient Greeks than a Germanic or Celtic barbarian, then?

Well, do you think ancient Greeks would not object to actors descended from Germanic and Celtic barbarians being cast as their mythical heroes?

And well, there were some infamous Jewish gangsters in interwar Warsaw too, historically. That doesn't mean they deserved to be exterminated!

"They had nothing in common with Venezuelan gang members"

there were, in fact, Jewish gangsters in interwar Poland! And that doesn't make it fine for them to be targeted by the Nazis!

See Urke Nachalnik, a gangster turned writer killed in 1939:

and if you asked the ancient Greeks about choice of actors, they'd object to Helen not being played by a man, no one wearing a mask, there being no chorus and no unity of action, time and place

somehow people are fine with all the other changes to the story being not "what Homer wrote" (find me an adaptation of Odyssey or Iliad that is 100% faithful) but heaven forbid they change an actor's skin color

(I mean, aside from the fact that they'd object to the fact that she's played by a woman instead of a man, and there's no masks and chorus)

and if you asked an ancient Greek, they might actually object more to Helen being played by some *Germanic* northern barbarian in "Troy" out of the two

THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.
