Topic	Greek Achilles to be played by a black person in new BBC/Netflix series.
Lorenzo_2003 12/21/17 9:20:15 PM #235:	Achilles is widely regarded as fictional, so a fictional counterpoint example would be better than an actual African ruler. Use Marvel's Black Panther. If the Black Panther movie opened with a recast of Zach Galifianakis wearing the Panther suit and yelling, "Wakanda forever," people would lose their minds and I honestly believe there would be protests and several riots outside theaters.

Hollywood would burn. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:892658578] in Greek Achi...
