Had to Google her but Helen's main thing is that she is one of the most beautiful women in the world, so once again absolutely defendable casting.

I don't know why I would join in in such stupid non-discussions anyhow, as if any maga idiot would be convinced by rational arguments, or as if I should care as a European.

I think most of it is a chain reaction to Afrocentrism, which is a reaction to white supremacy by itself.

Typical influence of the USA’s polarised culture to the rest of the world. It always has to be either that, or the other.

I'm just enjoying the chaos over a fairly pointless controversy. My only wish is that Helen would have been played by Rupaul at this point.

I'm surprised she isn't played by the rock at this point

That'd be better. Much better than this half way nonsense. Like are they pretending it's historically accurate, or just a re-imagining?

Ok, at least pretending it's based on a greek myth. And for the record, Troy is a real greek city.

Why do people keep bringing up this point while conveniently glossing over her appearance being described a number of times? Like I don't even care about the casting (not like i was gojng to watch the movie either way), but this argument is just fully disingenuous
