It's different than usual but honestly, it's not as terrible as you think,


Anyone see Hamilton? Takes some getting used to at first but after a while you don't notice.

Not nearly as bad as turning Thor into a woman.

Well Thor the super hero is just whoever wields the hammer. It could be, and has been canonically a woman.

This is way more silly because it's an actual historical figure.

Meh. For centuries, chick's parts were played by men.

Progress.

Duh. We've all seen Monty Python.

Do they still cut Ann’s head off via the finest French swordsman?

Or do they, uh, you know...

That was my first thought... getting beheaded isn’t a great role to emulate.

Not nearly as bad as turning Thor into a woman.

That entire movie was a spoof about how stupid racism is/was.

That said, if they are intending to make this a modern era Blazing Saddles, good luck to them.

Might end up being a good movie. But it's just historically inaccurate. I would have the same reaction if they cast Kevin James to play Ali. Mostly like... why?
