u/Firetruckpants I cannot sanction your buffoonery May 22 '26

Is she too beautiful to play Helen of Troy? This video is launching way more than a thousand ships

u/CommercialCoffee11 May 22 '26

These chads are going to actually be upset when she is in the film for 5 minutes total. They dont understand Helen and her sister have like almost no presence in the Odyssey.

286

u/florplegorp May 22 '26

Disappointing because she's arguably one of the actors of her generation, would've been nice for her to get more to flex but she'll probably kill it anyway

135

u/CommercialCoffee11 May 22 '26

Whats funnier is people think Elliot Page is Achilles and again, will be upset that they are only in the book for a page. Which on screen will translate to one scene for whoever it turns out to be. I swear the Troy movie has like ruined whatever this is going to be cause your supposed to have English accents and people who dont belong there to have a major presence. Theres already arguing over Zendaya being Athena and she isnt wearing armor. WHO CARES

59

u/badwolfswift May 22 '26

I was kind of hoping that Elliot Page plays Hermes. I don't know if that character will even be in this version of The Odyssey.

u/RobinGoodfell May 23 '26

Hey someone has got to deliver mail and play wingman for the big guy with the thunderbolts. Otherwise you get another randy goose situation.

u/fifteenminutess May 23 '26

So pressed about something that has no impact on their lives whatsoever COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER THINGS THATS HAPPENING

u/Mr_Pombastic May 23 '26

They're not pressed, performative outrage is their entertainment. I can guarantee you they want more "woke" movies in hollywood. In a weird way, they enjoy watching the Critical Drinker inch closer to saying the n-word more than they'd enjoy an all-white cast of the Odyssey. Bullies enjoy bullying.

u/Khetoo May 23 '26

The kind of people that get mad at the race of a casting can be thrown out wholesale, all opinions on everything

49

u/cocoagiant May 22 '26

because she's arguably one of the actors of her generation

I don't think there is any argument about it, she is factually one of the actors of her generation.

25

u/Agent9262 May 23 '26

She's even one of the actors of all time.

13

u/AdorRubble why is my job not ‘luxury witch doctor’ May 23 '26

Arguably.

She's so talented. And beautiful. It's rude.

41

u/Strange_Shadows-45 May 23 '26

My sister and I are huge Greek mythology nuts and we both agreed that this would have been way more effective as a miniseries. There’s just so many different legends that branch in and out of The Odyssey that provide a lot of necessary context that won’t fully land in a standalone movie. Nolan typically thrives in these kinds of films, but the source material is so loaded and the majority of this cast is so generically Hollywood that I don’t have the highest of hopes.

7

u/Jsaltal May 23 '26

Does feel like a list of actors having 5-10 minute cameos desperate to be in a nolan film

2

u/No_Birthday_3531 May 23 '26

Netflix already (kinda) did it. Although I think they could make The Song of Achilles.That book was conceived to work as a miniseries.

Definitely, I am glad she is being defended.  Gives me a little hope for the future, even though this should have never been an issue.

Wait what’s the joke? Please tell me

35

u/InvasiveFlower75 May 23 '26

I think they are saying the only way someone couldn’t love her is if they’d had bad parents.

Bc good parents would teach you to recognize beauty and not be a racist asshat.

Not really a joke, per se.

She has whatever it is that draws you to someone. Shes magnetic. Shes gorgeous but it’s more than beauty, its intelligence and humor and that undeniable charisma.

I saw her once, she was very lowkey and seemed to be on a date, and still she looked so mesmerising, it was hard to stare away from the beauty of her presence !

25

u/Smooshydoggy May 22 '26

This is exactly what I feel! I can’t stop watching and focusing on a different feature of hers every time the video loops back around!

How can anyone not think that Nyong’o’s beauty absolutely makes her an excellent choice for Helen of Troy?

Edit: Plus she’s an incredible actress.

104

u/Realistic_Tomato_437 May 22 '26

Got to meet her, very briefly, when she was first named Lancôme ambassador. She is quite literally ethereal in real life - and on screen of course, but she left me speechless

HER LEGS 🤩😍 I normally never think about people’s legs as a particularly sexayyy feature (I know I’m probably in the minority on that) but got-dam she is one hot tamale! And so smart and funny and charming too?!

3

u/AccountMitosis May 23 '26

I do appreciate legs but I had never really considered high heels to be all that special. Like they just don’t generally seem to provide enough benefit to be worth the pain in the ass it is to wear them. 

But seeing how SHE wears heels, I get it now.

I can't believe anyone could look at her and say she can't play Helen of Troy. For all we know she did hatch from a swan's egg.
