Yes. I agree with with Donny in this meme.

To the same effect, I'm bothered with how everyone in the new Odyssey movie looks way too pasty white for Mediterranean mariners. Was it really necessary to cast big names for the movie? Couldn't they find anyone that fit those parts better?

Hells, I had a lengthy discussion with an enthusiast for that time period and he went livid when we started talking about the costume design...

Hollywood is becoming altogether tiresome.

They want to make money. Stars bring in general audiences. No name actors don't.

And plenty of Greek people are pasty white. I know several.
