Troy: Fall of a city

Best adaptation yet of the tale of Troy. Only problem is the casting choices. Achilles is a bald black man for example. Good show despite that though I recommend it

 

Haven't even heard about it......black Troy? fucking liberal snowflake film makers!!

 

Yeah that’s ridiculous. What’s next? Brad Pitt playing Shaka Zulu??

 

Yup, it's ridiculous. The Greeks were not black and besides Achilles is described in the Iliad as having long blonde hair. Zeus was played by a black an too...but that one was more palatable. The other thing with the show is that Helen, supposedly the most beautiful woman in the world was played by an average looking lady. I got to the point where Achilles kills Hector, and it was messed up yet again. No one seems to be able to do it properly.
