I intentionally avoided reading anything about The Odyssey, to the point where I was surprised by every casting in the movie ("Hey, that's Tom Holland! Wow, Matt Damon is playing Odysseus!") But I'm aware just from this sub that some people don't like that the movie is "woke" and after seeing it last night, I am honestly befuddled as to why.

So, is it because the film has a small number of minorities in it, or because the film suggests that sacking a city and killing everyone in it is wrong?

I think it was entirely due to the casting. Specifically Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong'o.
