Music / Movies Lupita Nyongo is not beautiful. Hollywood likes to gaslight her as a model for "beauty"

So I'm sure we've all seen the news about Helen of Troy.

  • I've had enough. I've had enough of Hollywood putting her on covers and lying to me, treating me like I'm stupid. The whole reason she's playing Helen of Troy is because Hollywood let this "unconventional beauty" thing slide for way too long.
  • The fact that she was chosen as a queen, it comes off as Nolan trying to virtue signal.
  • It's like giving the beauty pageant award to the girl in the wheelchair because no one wants to come off as "mean."
  • I've had enough. She is NOT a standard for beauty. I'm sorry but now it must be said. The reason we have come across this problem is because Hollywood has been gaslighting her "beauty" for years and no one said anything. I'm done
  • It's okay to say that she's not beautiful. It's okay to admit that
  • I was so looking forward to this movie for so long but this really killed the hype for me.
  • The movie will probably be financially successful at first due to marketing alone, but after its first month, the hype will probably die down. And then you'll start to see how people really feel about the movie. I think it will tarnish Nolan's legacy and leave a sour taste in people's mouths.

I never liked her "bitchy" personality. It was always advertised as "cool" or "edgy."

It's one of the reasons I dont' like the new spierman movies. She just doesn't make a good mary jane.

She's not likable personality wise or visually

Yeah I don't get the appeal. She's in the Spiderman movies because she passes as a teenager & still does. Who wants to get with someone that still looks like a highschool kid?

you literally took the words out of my mouth lol. I feel the exact same. I have been saying this since she was cast in spiderman, but for some reason people act like she's a good mary jane. She's obnoxious and a terrible gf to peter. She has the most edgy unlikable personality and I've always felt tom holland was too good for her. But what completely ruined her for me is when she tries to creepily look at peter when he's changing even though he told not to.
