The fundamental problem is that it's a mockery of the source material. Greeks aren't black. You mean to tell me of all the Hollywood actresses, you couldn't cast a white blonde girl to play Helen of Troy? It had to be some ugly animal?

@JeffGrimesArt @Humpleupagus @penguin @adequate The source material directly calls Odysseus 'black skinned' multiple times and I honestly think Matt Damon was the least strong casting choice
