Why are films set in Ancient Greece and Rome always cast by Nordic people?

Why are films set in Ancient Greece and Rome always cast by Nordic people?

White pandering.

Achilles should have been played by Idris Elba.

>ancient Greece
>characters speak English

italy and greece had their cultures repossessed

because ancient greece and rome were aryan

Do you mean cast WITH? Cast BY would mean that the casting directors are always Nordic people, which is incorrect, because they are always insufferable fucking kike vermin.

>Why are films set in Ancient Greece and Rome always cast by Nordic people?

Because ancient Greeks and Romans (even Egyptians) were European.

Because ancient romans and Greeks were Nords, look at Greek and Roman statues.

how many times have we had this thread?
sage

they weren't persian at all

WE

WE

Because white """people""" chimp out if everyone in every movie isn't nordic-looking.

Seriously, look at their response to Star Wars, Fantastic Four, Ghostbusters, Dark Tower, etc.. They're snowflakes

Brad Pitt doesn't look nordic, neither do Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana

You're mostly wrong but the nord we wuzzers are already here anyway lol

shill

Jesus can u give the white guy a break!

>ghostbusters
who complained about winston? or do you mean the shitty new one with female "comedians" where the main issue was they weren't funny?

And they all speak with British accents to let you know they're foreign.

>In the Iliad, Achilles has blonde hair («ξανθῆς δὲ kόμης ἕλε Πηλεΐωνα» = "she (Athena) grabbed Achilles by his blonde hair"; Iliad, 1.197). That's probably the most persistent characteristic given for him and is repeated numerous times. The word "xanthē" (ξανθή) used here can be translated as "yellow", "fair", "golden", "blonde". Sadly, we can't be sure about the exact shade.

He was mycenean of some sort, proto-indo european related. They were very likely fair featured peoples in general. By now most of it has been mongrelized from existence in greece

We were kings.

More like savages at that time africa was even more stable, wonder how geeks and TRUE romans would feel about this if they were alive

Holy shit they still remember us.

>Romans and Greeks weren't white
:thinking:

Why do Sup Forumsshits think people are either super blond Nordic types or brown sandniggers?

We don't, I freely admit it was likely a mix of colors back then. Honestly feel like its more mongrels getting butthurt at admitting some of the greeks and romans, especially the upper classes, were almost certainly mostly fair featured, even when we post evidence. Then all they do is screech WE WUZ KANGGZ

>some of the greeks and romans, especially the upper classes, were almost certainly mostly fair featured

They were pretty white

They weren't, they barely had the stature or the color pigmentation of modern more augcanoids europeans, but back then they were hairy turk looking colonies with the occasional norther barbarian.

The story is Western and the current Western world portrays it with Western people (And yes people like African American's and the Japanese are Western ever since they joined western narrative)

tfw Greek born with blond hair and lighter skin but now have brown hair and more tan.
Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana look Greek af. There are blond Greeks but they are the minority.

Examples? Achilles was literally described as blonde so it makes sense in this movie.

>Why are films set in Ancient Greece and Rome always cast by Nordic people?
Brad Pitt isn't Nordic.

greece was culturally enriched by arabs a couple thousand years later. greeks weren't brown shitskins

>greeks weren't brown shits-

Yeah, look at this statue proving your point.

Childhood is growing up cheering for Achilles to win

Adult is that realizing that Hector should had won.

he's mostly english and could have very well been a descendant of normans meaning he could have some nordic in him

>could very well
If you need to resort to "maybe" to support your argument it's already fallen apart.

This is such a strange film. I was rooting for Bana the whole time.

If blonde hair was common back then there would be no need to remark this so many time on Achilles

...

...

that guy would KO you with one slap, nigga

Right is better. I love cultures with vivid colours everywhere.

How does that make it strange? Hector was a good dude.

Not all Greeks are Turk rape babies.

I know it's bait, but the way blacks project their insecurities on white people is really fucking uncanny.
