Someone certainly didn't do all that well at their history lessons. If Memnon led an ARMY from Aethiopia to the siege of Troy there might've just been ..say, a few people of different fucking complexions mucking about in the immediate aftermath of said siege.

Not to mention all the trade going on for centuries in those parts.

..and also, yeah, a Cyclops is just fine because it happens to be the right color, right?

But this is otherwise a complete dealbreaker, is it? What the fuck? (I mean, I know it's just a racist piece of shit spewing idiocy, but still, what the everliving fuck?)

What language were the actors speaking in?

I'm a huge fan of the musical based on The Odyssey. . There are so many animatics and animations made by fans. Notable examples (personal favorites) are Wouldn't You Like animated by Slander, A short part of an earlier song mixed with a near end song by Slander as well, and my personal two favorite animations done by Mr. Gameron (the songs were combined by another, apparently with the blessings of the original creator, as referenced in the comments). The entire thing is a great watch/listen, however.

My immersion of Ghost of Tsushima was ruined when I saw female lords being treated as equals to male lords.

I thought, "were they really equals back in Feudal Japan? This ruins my immersion."

Then our brave, rugged, honorable lead Samurai who we respect, jumps on to his knees and prostrates himself at every opportunity in front of his uncle/lord, saying unironically how unworthy he is to exist in the presence of such a divine being...

...and I was like, "oh yeah. In those moments where he is actually true to his period, I lose all respect for him."

Fair play game, fair play.

He means the immersion of his nazi fantasy land. The one where he is superior and only good white people exist. No jews, no other ethnic group other than Germanic, Nordic, Slavic or - dare I say - Saxon, Anglo even. Anything that breaks this delusion sends him off into a spiral of rage.

Then he posts about it online.

This smells like another "I'm a gay black man" moment.

my immersion was ruined when Nolan couldn't even cast someone slightly interesting for Odysseus and turned a fun and exciting tale into an overly serious greyscale film that will probably be a 4ish hour snooze fest

Have you seen the movie already? Genuine question.
