If there's ever a Hollywood Adaptation of Hamilton, I hope that Lin keeps to his casting choices as reflecting modern America, not 1776 America.
The Conservatives would lose their mind. But I also couldn't imagine a white guy playing Hercules Mulligan. Certainly not singing Yorktown.
Actually probably most of the original cast would be in it, anyway. Sort of like In The Heights, except hopefully reprising their own original roles.
Certainly wouldn't be a sung-through musical though. Hollywood would need to split it into two, with extra "world-building" and dialogue, like they did with Wicked.

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.
Its even worse than that. They had a white voice actor when the cartoon character is black!

I hate how every old outfit.It looks brand new and spotless. That's not even how we are today back in the day.People were far more dirty, and there were more dirty old and worn outfits. I want to see outfits that look legit, worn, not brand new!
The sentiment doesn't really fit the character at all.
If only the Greeks could see us now
i assume its about elon musk getting mad there was black people in oddessy, Nolan dint care about accuracy.
Donnie, no!
Generally agree with making fun of such people espescially in fantasy.
I fucking hated it in the witcher series though. I mean no disrespect to the actress that played Tris Merigold she did well - well, at least better that the one for Yennefer or some of the other sorceresses. But the plot is already diverse, it is based on historic folklore and incorporates racism and xenophobia. It makes just so little fucking sense. Though to be fair, little did make sense, the director really screwed the series and the fans of its source material over big time.
In Bridgerton, yes I weirdly enough enjoyed the first season, I did not give a fuck about the diversity nor felt it forced to me.
The people defending the casting of the Odyssey are the same people who would get upset if they cast a blond hair blue eyes white girl as clayapatra.
Just ignore these losers. Clearly the big movie studios don't care either, which must mean casting a black person does not affect ticket sales either.
