>>82857326
I laughed at first because I thought you were memeing me. WHY THE FUCK is Achilles played by a nigger?

Will they make a version based on history or mythology? In other words, will they show the gods intervening or make it ambiguous?

>>82857227
But we already have a good Troy movie with the best possible Helen.

>>82857793

>>82857706
Troy is a famously black city anon.

Hahaha wtf

>>82857925
'Troit: Fall of a Cityz'n'shit

>>82857265
who is this ayy lmao?

>>82857925
Even if that's true Achilles is not trojan. He's a myrmidon fighting for the Achaeans AGAINST Troy. Furthermore, the actual trojans like Priam, Paris and Hector are all played by white actors.

I can picture it now: the Achaeans fight for liberty and the American way; they are a progressive and diverse and multi-racial, multi-cultural society, free from hate; the conflict is about women's rights and the struggle against toxic masculinity; Helen ultimately realises that she truly loves both Paris and Menelaus, and that's okay and empowering; true love conquers all and they live happily ever after.

>>82858180
Clearly Troy is an oppressive society and Black Achilles is coming to free his brothers and sisters from the white man

>>82857326
>>82857356
When will this end? At this rate we'll probably get a film about a black Julius Caesar invading Gaul to free his black brethren.

Then maybe we can have a movie about a black Alexander the Great invading the Achaemenid's because they were enslaving black Greeks.

>>82857706
WE WUZ GREEK DEMIGODS AND SHIT

What's the bet that Patroclus is a white twink?

>>82858225
Nah Helen ascends because womyn and then Menelaus and Paris becomes a gay couple (with that faggot Paris as the bottom of course)

>>82858309
>Achilles and Patroclus are bisexual and have sex in the show
Would be infuriated desu

>>82857326
figured something like this just as soon as I read BBC.

I honestly want to see Doctor Who regenerate into a Burka wearing female muslim as this point just to watch them try to spin it

>>82857326
>He's black because he was dipped in the river Styx
>His heel is still caucasian.

>>82858333
And Hector is going to be watching from the couch?

>>82858417
No but I'm sure he'll have a speech about how him saving the entire city almost singlehandedly is nothing compared to the burden of the women IN the city.

>>82858333
>Achilles and Patroclus are bisexual and have sex in the show
Oh anon. There's no chance that doesn't happen at this point, they'd probably receive complaints if they left it out.

>>82858534
That's like making Frodo and Sam gay, I really hope they don't do it but I won't be surprised when it happens.

>>82858585
Sam was obviously gay.

>>82859219
Sam actually managed to get married to a women and father children though. Frodo is the "committed bachelor"

>>82857326
BLACK GREEKS
BLACK TROYANS
BLACK BLACKS

>>82857326
Holy shit, don't fucking watch this. Don't even hate watch it. Black people need to fuck off with their cultural appropriation

>>82857227
Idris Elba staring as Achilles, Paris, Helen, Zeus and the Trojan Horse. The Trojan Horse is well hung.

>>82857326
you're fucking kidding me

>>82859270

That's the scene that racist cracka Homer left out where the great Pharaoh Elba I arrives to save the Greeks from certain defeat right?

>>82857227

So it will be full of niggers? Dropped.

To be fair the myrmidons aren't human, just like the niggers.

>>82859566
I'm fucking dying here man this shit is hilarious!!! Didn't BBC also produce a King Arthur show with Black Lancelott?

>>82858180
Wait was Achilles a myrmidon? I thought they just fought for him?

>>82859596
No that was Canada BBC had Black Guinevere.

>>82859596

Black Bedevere, the black Lancelot was from a Stars series.

>>82859611
He was their king so that should count

omfg

>>82859621
>Black Bedevere,
wait another one..wtf is going on here?!!
Also some anon in a thread about the upcoming King Arthur movie even pointed out that in the legend there already is a black (or moorish) knight I can't remember which. So why do they keep going for these others?

>>82857356

Alfred Enochs Dad is white, in case that isn't obvious by his features.

>>82859691

There are in fact two, Sir Morien and Sir Palomedes. They're Moors not niggers but still casting a coon as either wouldn't be too egregious since they are at least from Africa.

>>82857326
it's funny because Achilles was the blondest of the Greeks

i didnt think i was a racist until i felt that tinge of anger at the idea of a black achilles.

welp, that's that then. off to /pol/, later lads.

>>82857326
WE

>>82859733
okay so there's two!! Why the fuck not go for some arabs then if they want to fill the diversity quota?!
This shit is insane.

Like I would love to sit down with the creators and have them explain why thye choose these particular actors. I'm not mad like /pol/ probably is just amused at how silly this all is. it's laughable really

>>82859752
You're not racist.
It's just dumb. His name is fucking Ἀχιλλεύς. Him being not greek is retarded.
I'd be equally annoyed if a Spaniard played him.

>>82859741

I'm not sure we ever get a description of Achilles in Illiad, aside from the fact that he was the handsomest and bravest of the Greeks.

GUYS. I've had enough. Surely among us NEETS we have the resources to pool together to make an MLK movie and make the good doctor white or mexican or something.

>>82859804
>In the Iliad, Achilles has blonde hair («ξανθῆς δὲ kόμης ἕλε Πηλεΐωνα» = "she (Athena) grabbed Achilles by his blonde hair"; Iliad, 1.197). That's probably the most persistent characteristic given for him and is repeated numerous times. The word "xanthē" (ξανθή) used here can be translated as "yellow", "fair", "golden", "blonde". Sadly, we can't be sure about the exact shade.

>>82859782

I can tell you that. The BBC has an official "race blind" casting process, but despite this they cast far more niggers than would be representative for the UK (where niggers make up ~1%). The reason for this is probably because the BBC is headquarted in London, where niggers are hugely over-represented, so they get a lot more nigger actors applying for roles than you'd expect for the actual number of niggers found in Britain.

There's also the fact that the "race blind" casting ONLY applies to "white" roles, any role that is of a nigger character is always and only cast with a nigger actor, this in turn further exaggerates the number of niggers in BBC productions.

were you annoyed when Brad Pitt played him?

>>82857326
>>82857326
It's true. Fuck. I'm filled with despair now.
>Game Of Thrones‘ Mawle plays as Odysseus; Pirrie (War & Peace) is Andromache; Harris (This Is England 86-90) is Agamemnon; Gyasi (Interstellar) is Achilles; and Armstrong (Ripper Street) plays Menelaos, the King of Sparta whose marriage to Helen is destroyed when Paris arrives in his city.

DROOOOOPED!!!! Dumb Brit fucks

>>82860274

Pitt at least looked the part, impossibly handsome and blonde.

>>82860575
Yeah i'm just messing with you. I actually really like Pitt as an actor and when I think of Achilles his portrayal comes up in my mind

>>82857227

Let me guess, Achilles or Helen will be black?

It's also being filmed in South Africa, which has laws about representation of niggers in tv shows.

>>82857227
>entire series about cucking

Bravo HBO

>>82857227
>Brexit happens
>British media is still filled with race mixing
so... what was the point?

>>82859733
I'm still not too sure about Sir Morien being black. I haven't seen any historical artifacts specifically saying he was one, and a bunch of ancient depictions of him show him to look not black but the oldest one made hundreds of years after his death depicts him as a negroid.

He's also the only one, There aren't "two". Also moors aren't black.

This is so disgusting.

>>82859566
>London
Lmao, London is basically the America of Europe, isn't it? I know it's just a city, but still.

Was Achilles actually white? The one i picture is Brad Pitt,, but they were greeks,, and greeks are... With a tan?

>>82860650
so does the law extend to foreign productions?
Like if Michael bay did another transformers movie in SA would he have to throw in a quota of black people?

Nice. When they re-boot Rome, they can have Augustus Caesar played by a Somalian.

>>82860741
>Greeks aren't white meme
>whites can't have tans

>>82857326

Of course it is

>>82860650
Does south Africa even look anything like current western Turkey?

>>82860741
Well, he certainly wasn't black that's for sure.

>>82860741
they have a tan, but not like a burned toast ffs

>>82860706

Palomedes is also a Moor. And like I said, neither is "black" in the modern sense of "nigger", they were Moors (who are actually swarthy but white).

>>82860420
Muslim Charlemagne. He found out the secrets of the great men who tried to overthrow his tyrannical grandfather.

>>82860744

Yes of course it does, can you think of any laws that DON'T apply to foreigners inside a country?

>>82860773

Apparently so, the Cape Colony in particular is noted for it's close resemblance to the Mediterranean.

>>82857227
>BBC

WE

>>82857227
all miniseries on ancient times are always shit, end of story, I know you can't come up with any example that's not chessy

are we ever gonna get another even remotely accurate historical show ever again lads?

You know, it's just a TV show, but this kind of thing is historically damaging. If we wait 100 years, will public perception of greeks change from white to black? People are illiterate about history, they don't read. Their perceptions come from what they see in mainstream media. Achilles wanted his name to live on for thousands of years,, he got that, but this is humiliating.

>>82860851
That's one thing then.for a minute I thought they were going for Sahara themed troy.

>>82860885

You don't need to wait to know the answer to this, it's been only some 50 years since """scholars""" have been pushing the "Greeks were homos" trope, and now most people believe that the ancient Greeks either encouraged or at least tolerated gay sex, when in fact it was considered an abomination and was harshly punished. In 50 years time, when a majority of Europeans are non-white, it will be "common sense" that niggers featured prominently in all of Europe's history.

>>82860797
>>82860812
Well, that makes sense.

>>82859620
she was also great in the role, especially after going batshit insane

>>82860928
Genetic eastern desert themed I mean, it's in Asia so let's have camels type of thing.

>>82860986

The word is "generic". And this is the BBC, they have a huge research team and most of them are privately educated so know all about Homer, they're not going to fuck up something like that. There's no political mileage in changing a settings geography, only in changing the race of it's characters.
