    1. What the actual fuck? You need to come up with reasons why an intelligent, brave, ambitious and accomplished young woman was chosen for the roll of the greek goddess of wisdom and the only things you can think of are her hair, make up and marriage? Nobody suggested that Tom Holland was chosen to play Telemachus because his brown hair was so fitting for that role and since he got married he is now much better at acting like a son that misses his daddy. (Sorry, no hate on Tom, this is just for reference)
      You want to know why they chose Zendaya? Two emmys, an incredibly impressive acting career and social commitment to equal-right movements, which shows her actual wisdom, might be why!

      Get a grip!

    2. She is an amazing actress. When she is on the scene, you will just gravitate on her. Christopher Nolan's decision is a good one for choosing Zendaya ❤

    3. You guys are all American and never seen Greece or even Balkans, right? She doesn’t look anything like Greek or Balkan people, especially Ancient. And there is not a person in her color in Balkans, there is no Greek god looking so mixed Afro American and European

    4. Абсолютно не схожа на Афіну і всі класичні образи знищує і нівелює голлівуд вводячи в оману всіх😂

    5. Can.t understand why so many fuzz around characters choice. White people seemed never had an issue with a blue eys and blond Jesus Christ?! I’m so tired of dumb people and their dumbed questions…why so much hate?!

    6. First of all it is good to mention that, in the book, the gods come in disguise, with other apperences, and, in the movie, without givin it away, it is very important why Athena looks like that to Ulysses/Odisseu
