/lit/ - Literature

Oh no, I'm so triggered

Man its gonna be weird when they have to talk about this black dude's white skin and red, curly hair.

Stay in /his/ subreddit, shill.

Hector was a Turk.

Is this some sort of British practical joke?

>>9750468
Sure is. Why is the BBC trying to pretend that Achilles was black? Or do they just not care about historical accuracy.

>>9750481
British? This is the (((BBC))) we're talking about m8.

Meh, it's just a series, who cares? As long as the acting is good it should be fine, I guess.

I've been to 5 fucking boards and you post the same shit fuck off

>>9750484
>Or do they just not care about historical accuracy.
Why the fuck would you think they do?

>>9750488
Not to /pol/, they have to get offended and post 10 threads on unrelated boards about this garbage.

Why not adapt African myths and legend?

Are you really being inclusive by putting a random black dude in anothers cultural heritage? Or is this more of a social pat on the head?

No worse than this desu

BIG BLACK SHIPS

This is the annoying this about multiculturalism - as a plurality of groups increase, more and more areas of life are increasingly politicized and everything becomes an ideological battleground.

So now instead of just producing and watching a show about Troy, and focusing our energy on the actual art of drama and stagecraft, all the energy and attention gets divested into culture war shit.

You'll have the white reactionaries absurdly doing the whole WE WUZ ACHILLES thing, you've got the brothas wanting more representation and secretly getting off on sticking it to whitey, you've got their post-modern curators insisting that everything is interchangeable, and you've got the jews behind the scenes laughing the whole time, and then finally you've got the audience watching all of this crap and trying to stave off the growing sense of despair.

>>9750501
Because African or any kind of mythology outside of European won't make money and the bourgies prefer to produce garbage which is guaranteed to sell. This explains the millions of bland super hero movies we're getting from Hollywood right now.

Will probably be good, honestly.

Film of Palm Wine Drinkard when.

actually good, it was kino

This is part of the ongoing jewish campaign to replace whites with nonwhites and make their culture indistinguishable. When you look behind the curtain of the BBC or whatever institution, you will find a jew promoting stuff like this. Some of it seems minor or harmless, but in reality it's an all-out assault and 100 years from now will any of the low IQ tube-hypnotized foreign inhabitants living among the ruins of Europe think Achilles was *not* black? That's the long term goal here. Jews have been doing this since at least Sumerian times, when the Indo-European inhabitants of Mesopotamia were replaced with semitic tribes (as is happening to the English people now) and their entire culture was replaced by semitic Akkadianism (as is happening to English culture now via stunts like this). This is what the jews have done throughout history over and over again to destroy the people they live among. They are very evil people and whites must wake up so we can stop them before it's too late.

Why did you even bother to type this out?

>>9750572
He's trying to educate brainlets like you.

>>9750572
To try to light a dead fuse in dumb fucks like you who can't think beyond your own short-term interests.

Yes Greeks are black. Homer was a rapper.

>>9750570

Pure ideology.
This is what I mean.
All appreciation of the art is gone. The show is just a pawn for political maneuvering.

>>9750581
>>9750582
Thanks for your valuable input /pol/, could you summarize it with a Ben Garrison comic too?

>>9750596
Man imagine being so stupid you couldn't see where all this shit is leading. Do you seriously believe there won't be a massive shift in demographics in Europe because of this shit? Do you not think it's going to fucking put economies and countries into the ground? Go back to redit and stay there you mouth-breathing retard.

>>9750611
Read a book.

>>9750461
/pol/ + /tv/ GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD YOU FUCKING CANCER REEEEEEEEEE

>This is part of the ongoing jewish campaign to replace whites with nonwhites and make their culture indistinguishable.
You could make the same argument about making tv/film adaptations of african myths and legends, promoting their cultural heritage, making them heroes for white bois to aspire to and lust for

Can't wait to see Gyasi growing golden hair worthy of Homer's demigod

>>9750626
>making tv/film adaptations of african myths and legends
This doesn't appear to be the timeline where we see any of that happening

>>9750626
Jews are in charge of these institutions in our countries now, so they use them to promote nonwhites as our cultural icons and nonwhite (ahem) "culture" like rap as the epitome of cool. Because again this is what jews do. They are very hostile people, which is why we have to get rid of them.

>>9750620
Stop going on redit and use that thing known as a 'brain'.

>>9750461
I don't really care that he's black (although I would've prefered a balkan/greek/macedonian type) but he looks to old Achill is supposed to be this young beautiful demi god that mufakka looks like he's 40

>>9750461
They should cast a fat, out of shape Asian guy as Diomedes. And an ugly fat-positive woman as Helen. And Nestor should have a stammer and suck at telling stories. And, screw it, have Patroclus survive the whole damnable affair and live happily ever after with Achilles in Mali.
Because screw being true to the text, only cultural posturing matters.

>>9750611
Right you are.
>>9750620
This comment is so irrelevant. Listen to what he says you stupid shill.

Can't wait for the techno-commercial feedback loop to tighten up beyond the incorporation of meatcucks desu.

>>9750531
kek

>>9750664
TV Always casts weirdly old men, are you sure you're not objecting to him because repressed racism?

>>9750690
How the fuck is shill applicable in any way?
Do you even know what the word means?

>>9750667
Don't forget Helen needs to be in a hijab

This is literally black people appropriating white culture whatever PC is old news anyway

Imagine how much better this world would be without black "people".

>>9750899
You don't have to imagine, just understand. Become the nigger slayer you know you can be

Blacks have nothing to do with the decision making here so it's futile to blame them. Blame the jewish creators and the white cucks going along with it.

>>9750929
>j-just following orders
'no'

They just released this production still of Helen.

>>9750929
>Blacks have nothing to do with the decision making here so it's futile to blame them.
They decided to accept the roles. Regardless, black people are awful and the world would be better without them.

>>9750781
Is this supposed to be the most beautiful woman in earth?

>>9750936
If strong white men were still in control of western institutions instead of jews, we could have every African squatting in the west repatriated back to Africa by this time next year. Blacks are not the problem, jews are the problem. They are the ones bringing them in and using them as cultural diversity icons, and none of this will get solved until they're dealt with first. Keep your priorities straight.
