I think Nolan’s Odyssey is yet another example of why color blind casting is a bad idea and how it can straight up circle back to being racist. Like Nolan casts a black Helen, then has her getting her face scarred by her white husband as punishment (mind you NONE of this happens in mythology), is that not insane? Is that not racist?
Same energy with retellings that make Andromeda black only to make Perseus an abuser, yet that same retelling would still get praised for its racial representation.
