There’s a new show about the Trojan War on Netflix …? What is it? Where did it come from? Has shrug seen it yet?
oh no
oh this is that one where people were mad because achilles is black and compared it to whitewashing non-white characters by casting white actors as poc in other adaptations of whatever
people are really stupid sometimes
4:05 into the first episode and Paris is a horny sheperd introduced as bare buttocks thrusting into a woman out in an open field
is this… peak television?

paris thrusts endlessly into helen
intercut with his sister cassandra’s restless slumber
I’m so sorry for obligating you to have this experience
only seven episodes to go!
Hecuba finally gets lines in the second episode I thought she was just going to sit in bed looking haunted forever despite being played by the only recognizable actor in the whole cast
diomedes looks like a chump
odysseus looks like sean bean and nic cage had a babby then the babby grew up and a wax figure was made in its likeness
paris’ thrusts into helen are now intercut with agamemnon sacrificing his daughter on the beach
incredible motif they’re building across episodes
hoping for some sort of thinkpiece on this dude’s pistoning buttocks
there’s so much leather with weird other bits of leather attached to it and so many rivets
achilles has asymmetrical shoulder pads in this scene
characters run screaming at one another in big loose lines battle
Achilles impassively throws a spear back at a guy and hits him in the back of the head and the spear comes out his gasping mouth but the greeks are in retreat for the night
weird paris isn’t thrusting right now
I am seething with Achillean rage
