Masada was the first revolt. Things got a lot worse for them after the third revolt.


Yes? Like 140-150 AD?

Jewish Judea was ruled by Herod during Jesus birth, according to (among other sources) the literal bible itself, who was a Jewish Client-King of the roman empire. And before Herod, it was the Hasemonean kings, which was also a Hebrew dynasty. As evidenced by Masada, even the roman legions and soliders in the region were almost all Jews. Also of course you had Pharisee and other jewish tribes play a prominent role. Obviously.

Roman rule was an indirect rule at the time. Hardly a measureable percentage of people with more western european heritage in the region at time, lol.

What the fuck are you talking about? The entire Mediteranean basin was caucasian, much more so back then than today. Cleopatra was white. King Tut was white. Jesus was white.

"Caucasian" is not a thing that exists. It comes from a disproven and thus obsolete classification-system by the late 18th century German scientists Meiners and Blumenbach. It's about as relevant to genetics of either ancient or modern-day humans as flat-earth theory is to modern space exploration and astronomy.


No. While there were probably "white" rulers of Egypt at times. Cleopatra was of Macedonian (greek) decent and thus most probably olive-skinned (just like the Macedonians that settled north of the mediteranean in contempary greece and balkan countries during these times).

King Tut was also not white. He was originally thought to likely have been complete Idris-Elba-levels of black due to how he is depicted on statues, etc., but genetic research has corrected that, meaning he was likely lighter-skinned than that, but still olive/dark-skinnedin line with mediteranean/arab populations of today.


No genetics for Jesus exist, but there is no reason to believe he looked any different to the jewish and later muslim population that inhabited and still inhabit the region today, i.e. significantly "darker-skinned" than jewish populations that lived in Europe/Russia for centuries and only (re-)settled in Isreal in the 20th centruy.

wait? what? Jesus was jewish. The whole christianity thing is an off-shot of judaism. Lol.

Centuries before islam was ever created, too.
Bro. God is white, clearly, and he's God, so whatever Mary was doesn't matter. Jesus came out white. It's science!

I am Greek. What race/ethnicity/ etc do I select on things or fill out for the reparation gibs?

White.

You moronic liberals made this stupid crap up, Spain is magically exempt from the rest of the Mediterranean - as Hispanic - Black and Brown power!

Stupid liberals even put Asian into white because they are too successful - about to toss the Indians in there also eh?

As I said before, no one in this movie should be “black” just as much as they should not be “Asian” in terms of bone facial structure etc.

Let me sit my self out in the sun a few days and I will be darker than Candace Owens - oh wait you all branded her white… okay Halley Barry… etc etc

Why wouldn't he be a white guy? Rome/Greece/Persia were the dominant powers in that region during Jesus time. They were all white Empires. He was illegitimate, probably the rape baby of a Roman Centurion.
In the Incarnation, the body is the Blessed Virgin Mary and she is a descendant of David.

The whole christianity thing is an off-shot of judaism.

As a Greek , i dont think blacks should be Greeks… but also - Greeks had lots of diversity in color and hair- you had an island of blond blue eyes- you had darker than zendya or whatever people with black hair…

But the facial features etc, all Euro no black.

We will see, hope its good- I actually liked Troy - and our boy Sean Bean was a great Odysseus - and he even lived!
Nobody likes a fat nose. They keep trying to make it a thing

Just added Elliott Page? This is shaping up to be an awful cast.

includes Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, and Jon Bernthal.

The top 3 and bernthal are okay but holy shit after that. I can't stand any of the women, including Elliott and Leguizamo.

It's going for award nominations (Elliot Page) rather than just making a good movie. I'm out.

Is the odyssey going to be one movie and done? Or is this the Odysseus Cenimatic Universe?


Or maybe the homer extended universe?

Yeah, news on it's own that zippertits was in this did not spark joy.

Learning that it's part of a batch casting softens it a bit.


Ariadne from Inception, Beatles guy from Yesterday, TARS from Interstellar, Precog from Minority Report.

I 100% thought it was Dileep Rao from Avatar / Inception at first but nope, different guy.

I love the Oddessy, I have since I was a kid. there’s a reason such a story is lasted for thousands of years. It’s got everything in it from passion, betrayal, loyalty, death, and really hot nymphomaniac fairies that don’t wear any clothes. For your young kid it didn’t get much better than that in the 80s. But that’s why Hollywood will fuck this up six ways from Sunday. There’s no way they will let the true story be told in the manner it was written. The cyclops will probably end up being some tragic antihero and Odysseus the bad guy.
