How dare people call Achilles LGBTQ? Sure, he had lots of gay sex, but that was very manly gay sex, so that doesn't count!

"Newsmax anchor Rob Finnerty was particularly upset, in part because he seemed to believe that Achilles was a historical figure, not a mythological one."

Hol up. Telling me that the right wing doesn't read, can't tell history from fiction, and judges things based on feelings? Hmm 🤔

“Slams” is a clickbait title.

His actual reaction seems to be “That noise it not worth a single thought of mine.”

Right-wing criticisms can always be safely ignored. They're never genuine or good-faith about anything.

Why didn't they just say Christopher Nolan? I thought they were talking about someone else because they didn't say his name.

This pretty much stems from Elon Musk shit-stirring as if he wrote the original book, and was unhappy with the movie adaptation. And, as we all know, he's vehemently anti-transgender. His son 'died' (his words, 'my son is dead') because of the woke transgender conspiracy mob who want to make children different genders, or whatever bullshit idea he pushes to get attention, and have dull bigots praise him. Low hanging fruit combined with a god complex makes Elon a happy dickhead.

I didn't know Elliot Page was still working. I've only seen his work before the transition (and with the deadname) and he's a good actor. Gender assigned at birth is not a valid factor in criticising an actor. In Shakespearean times, men played women and vice versa. Acting has always been about stepping outside of how you were made and into a role that you convince the audience is real. Page does good work.

I had to look him up on IMDb. It's unfortunate they only list movies where he was cast as a girl as the notable roles. I mean, leave Juno and Hard Candy since those films established him, but put a couple roles up where he played a guy.

He is a pretty small dude, though I wouldn't say there weren't small Romans (or was it Greeks?).

Elliot Page as Achilles? Sweet. I mean, I would have thought that his youthful and sweet face would be a good pick for Telemachus, or maybe Polites. But hell yeah, I can't wait to see his performance.

i think conservatives are more bothered that elliot paige transition from ellen paige, than not.

People complaining about the helmets.

Me: yeah, that's a valid criticism. And a conversation about this is interesting.

People complaining cause the girl they used to masturbate to is now a boy and is taking film roles that suit their current gender.

Me: you all can go to hell. Don't like, don't go see it. I'll buy an extra ticket to make up for your shameful bullshit.

I have a feeling right-wingers are gonna complain that the studio, Nolan, Page, et al are shoving this down their throats like the whole bud light thing. But if it's anything like that...they wouldn't even know about it if focks nooz, noozmacks and other propaganda outlets didn't run it endlessly

Haven't watched it yet, so, I can't say how well he actually did in it. I definitely thought he was an off choice for Achilles, though. He's just so tiny to play a renowned warrior. I haven't seen any images of him... but, unless he built up the same cut as that tiny Tom Holland, I get questioning the casting. Unfortunately, all the fucking transphobes are drowning out any justified criticism.

The amount of hate for this movie is so silly. I am not going to the theater to watch maybe one night I'll pirate it somewhere but my lord people just want something to cry about anymore I think.

The same people who cry about cancel culture are the ones dragging this and any other movie that doesn't fit their weird vision through the mud.

Far better things to rage at Hollywood and media than this. I bet none of you even know the guy who came up with the Odyssey

Yes typical blame or put on a facade of a to artificially generate internet noise
