Nothing about people who never existed can be miscast by skin color

You're ready to throw ethnological context out of the window?
It seems pretty important to the myth representation.

    If seeing a black person in a movie ruins the “myth representation” for you, maybe just skip going to see it. No one’s going to drag you to a theatre and strap you into a chair.

    It would be strange to me to see a Caucasian person in a film adaptation of a myth of ancient China or of an African tribe as well.

    Maybe skip those too, then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    There isn’t a shortage of movies. I’m willing to bet someone is out there pandering to your preference for historically accurate skin tone in fictional stories where it’s barely described and has no meaning in relation to the plot.
