    I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but there were black people in ancient Greece IRL. It’s not even “woke,” just historically accurate!

      I hate the word “woke” in general after it deviated from it’s intended cause (not by the ones that coined it of course).

      However the right wing is very smart is disguising certain things that they pretend to champion and mask it as if they’re doing people a favour. A big part of “woke” (even though they can’t put it into words) is corporate pandering. Which I don’t think the left cares for too much… but that can be stretched to mean anything to be fair. The thing is that some people can THINK they mean: shoving representation to only sell tickets but it can also fit under as hating minorities because they’re taking over. It all fits into the same umbrella.

      In any case, black people were in ancient Greece just as there were black cowboys. World was more diverse than some think.

      It isn’t an issue any more than whether Odysseus had a hairy back or not or what colour hair he had. This entire topic is a nothing burger.

    Those who make a fuss about about skin tone will never be happy. The binary world they imagine is not the real one. Nolan’s choice was brilliant.

    I do imagine Athena being more mature than Zendaya though, but we’ll see. I’ve never actually seen her act.

    To state the obvious, it’s not a worker doing that. It’s Universal Studios.
