• Lupita Nyong'o Hasn't Read the Odyssey -- But Has Opinions About It

    From Ubiquitous@3:633/10 to All on Fri Jul 10 20:16:11 2026
    Lupita Nyong'o was asked what question she would ask Homer. She then
    dropped one of the most ignorant and stupid things I've heard about
    literature in quite a while, which is saying a lot.

    She replied: "So Homer, how do you feel about the screen time given to
    these women, considering how little you spend with them?"

    Tell me you haven't read the Odyssey without telling me you haven't
    read the Odyssey.

    Did we read the same epic? Helen starts a war. Athena out-plays gods
    and heroes alike. Penelope humiliates an entire household of suitors
    for years. Circe turns grown men into pigs. Calypso keeps the hero
    stranded for seven years. Cassandra knows the future while everyone
    else plays the fool. Nausicaa rescues the hero when he washed ashore
    naked and helpless. Andromache delivers one of the greatest anti-war
    speeches ever written. Aphrodite, Hera, and Thetis literally influenced
    the fate of nations and the decisions of Zeus himself.

    But sure, maybe Homer just forgot about women.

    If you ask somebody who hasn't read a book about a book written
    thousands of years ago, the first thing they're going to do is say it
    was kind of sexist...but unfortunately for Lupita, she picked the one
    piece of ancient literature that actually focuses quite a lot on the
    ladies.

    So, whoops.

    [Yeah, she's a dumb cunt, and not even a very good-looking one at that.]

    And don't forget about Medusa, freezing hundreds men into statuary over the years. Or was that THE ILIAD? Either way, it's still Homer.

    Everyone tries to dance around saying that she's not that good-looking because the racial grievance crowd will twist that into a comment on her race, but
    it's true. She's fair-to-middling at best. Absolutely not someone who should have been cast as the most beautiful mortal woman in all of Greek mythology.

    And with all the controversy over Lupita and Ellen Page in this disaster of movie, no one has mentioned John Leguizamo, who has been one of the most strident voices in Hollywood, demanding that only latinos should play latinos in movies and TV. And yet there he is, in full white-face, playing a white man on the big screen. They even dyed his hair blonde.

    The hypocrisy of these people is suffocating.

    Hey, I'm pleasantly surprised that she got the right Homer and didn't

    So she?s the latest in a long line of successors to Brie Larson (I watched
    a video about island of Dr. Morrow the other night, where he said putting Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer in the same film, was like putting two Brie Larsons in the same film) and Jennifer Lawrence and Rachel Zegler and Milly Alcock.

    That was perseius, who I thinjk was a totally different wave. Totally.

    As I understand it, Helen of Detroyt has a big scar on her face and the actress plays her sister so she could get five minutes of screen time.

    And with all the controversy over Lupita and Ellen Page in this disaster of >movie, no one has mentioned John Leguizamo, who has been one of the most >strident voices in Hollywood, demanding that only latinos should play >latinos in movies and TV.

    Yes, I did otice that as well.

    The jury is still out on that. They didn't give her a lot of time to talk.
