Honestly, 99% of that, from what I could infer without spoiling every detail of the movie, were incels upset some dark skin actress was cast as Helen of Troy
Garbage people are louder than ever
People also made a big thing out of the helmets being period-inaccurate. Which they absolutely are, but it was weird how people seemed to care so much for this movie in particular, whereas no-one seemed to give a shit about all the inaccuracies in the Gladiator movies for example.
Hasn't pretty much every period piece ever produced been criticized through the lens of historical accuracy?
