Seth Meyers reminded viewers that the Odyssey is a myth, not actual history. He also noted the genesis of Helen of Troy, the entity, who in Nolan’s movie is played by a black woman, driving MAGA panties in a major twist. “According to the myth, Helen of Troy was hatched from an egg, that was the result of Zeus turning into a swan and having sex with a goddess, who turned into a goose….you know, white lady stuff.” Meyers also showed clips of MAGAs going apoplectic over the film, one talking head disparaging a movie about "the greatest warrior in history" (Ah, fella, it's a myth. It's not about Audie Murphy). Other talking head loons opined, "Nobody is going to go see this woke movie, and it's going to be a box office bust, and they're going to make zero money on it" (worldwide box office in week 1 was $264,000,000, showing that sane people understand the difference between myth and reality). I fear the gnashing of teeth and the self mutilation in MAGA world when they find out Star Wars isn't real and Men in Black isn't a documentary. Get the coloring books and soft blankets ready! Hours of Prime Time MAGA (fake) news has been devoted to this "pissing on history (sic)" from the same people who had absolutely no problem with a Trump Jesus healing the sick with magic beams from his tiny hands. Also, the world is at war, economies are faltering, an AI frontier model just escaped from a sandbox made by intellectually inferior humans and cheated on an exam, oil is threatening $100/bbl again, the Houthis are threatening to close the Bab al Mandab, and Americans are suffering bouts of explosive diarrhea....but BLACK HELEN OF TROY ! dominates the MAGA airwaves. Jeez, MAGAs, get a grip. And as I've noted before---nobody is weeping about Michelangelo's Pieta, which is both historically and biologically inaccurate....white Mary looks way too young to have had a 33 year old white son, unless god was Jeffrey Epstein (which may be why Trump, Bondi and Blanche are keeping those other 3.5 million files, despite being 7 months behind a court order).
