No it’s not. Achilles (who isn’t a real person) who was gay AND dressed as a woman to avoid fighting in the Trojan war. Are you really telling me you have a problem with a fictional queer character being played by a queer man?

Dude if you’re going to talk about Greek characters you should know the characters. This is known and highly discussed information about achilles and has been for thousands of years 🙄🙄 this is giving “I read the Iliad once in high school”

The movie is a direct continuation of the Iliad so why would I care about any other appearances?

neither are most characters from any culture’s historical oral and written stories so I guess we can do whatever we want to disrespect other cultures right?

What does Page’s appearance have to do with his acting ability to fit the role?

When I picture the greatest greek warrior of the Trojan War, the demigod son of the sea nymph Thetis and King Peleus, I do not picture Elliot Page

Usually when a race washes another in historically significant literature there is good reason to be mad
