Why are we okay with every robin hood movie being an interpretation, but all the sudden the oddesy needs to be historically perfect?

Evidently Lupida isn't beautiful enough to be Helen even as she is one of the prettiest women alive.

Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy? First I've heard of it, but she's gorgeous, and a very talented actor. I think she's a good choice.

They'd like everyone to look like, I don't know, Bruce bailaban, Lucy lawless, some third thing, or hells forbid another space commerce gremlin. It's important for the sex scenes to have the right amounts of nips and penes.

I would not mind everybody looking like Lucy Lawless.

Especially in her Xena days. What a queen.
