Analysis Summary
In Greek mythology, Achilles really was hidden disguised as a girl among women to prevent him from going to war — a detail many people criticizing Elliot Page's casting apparently don't know about. The post uses this historical accuracy to point out that objections framed as being about 'canon accuracy' may actually be rooted in something else. News outlets report Nolan's project casting is still unconfirmed rumor, and the backlash from figures like Elon Musk has already begun despite the film not being released.
