Watched Aquaman. Jason Momoa was great, but the film was a big dumb mess and quite artificial. I'm sick of of overly pretty Cgi.

In my opinion, Amber Heard was the best part of Aquaman.

Amber Heard was good, but her makeup and outfit didn't do her any favours.

Ah yes, the PC version of The Iliad, where several of the Greek heroes and gods don't look the least bit Greek, or European for that matter.

Really? Achilles and Zeus in that miniseries look like they're described in Greek mythology? The guy playing Achilles looks more like Memnon.

Making Achilles black is seriously anti-black racist stereotyping. Think of what Achilles is like in the Iliad. Hot-tempered, aggressive, egotistical, childish, self-centered, a manchild, but with a big sexual appetite, physically gifted, but without a lot of brain. That reads like a white racist's negative stereotype of a black man. It was SERIOUSLY racist for them to cast a black man as Achilles, I don't think they realize what they've revealed about their own prejudiced assumptions with that casting.
