Because it wasn't agenda driven. The Rock was casted because he's a big muscular dude who also happens to be a massive box office draw. Also, they didn't try and pass Hercules off as anything other than Greek which is why they gave him long flowing hair and beard. His skin tone is already similar to Mediterraneans
>which is why they gave him long flowing hair and beard.
It's actually amazing how much you can get away with just by changing hair around as long as the actor isn't a Wesley Snipes tier gigahomie
Vin Diesel played a fricking Viking and it was like "Yep, I can believe this onscreen" entirely on the wig and beard
Mythology geek, here. The Rock made a good Hercules, because of muscle & height, of course, but his skin color was actually fitting. The IRL Hercules spent most of his time outside, so he'd be tan from constant sun exposure, anyway.
This movie sucked so fricking hard. Why would you make a movie about a mythological figure, advertise the movie with a bunch of mythological shit, and then have the premise be that "lol they are just imbellishing more mundane shit". I'm still mad.
I don’t think anyone actually saw this movie.
He wasn't supposed to be Disney's ginger Hercules.
I have never heard of this movie
also the rock is one of the worst mainstream actors to plague this generation, which answers your question and explains why I never heard of it
They cast an actual strong person as Hercules, nobody can be mad
I thought he played Conan?
Greeks werent white anyway
Nobody gave a shit about the movie. Same way nobody cared about Rock 2.0 Momoa playing Conan. Both movies bombed

He also played a surprisingly believable Italian in Find Me Guilty
Vin Diesel is the ultimate ethnic. Give him a top knot and some makeup and I bet he could play an asian too.
>casted
if you grew up watching restle you thought he was italian

because big muscular men are aspirational figures for chuds (among other people)
it signals dedication and hard work so people like to see that
Herakles was part Ethiopian
Because he can pass for a non-black.
This, dark skin but no Black facial features. With a wig and a bit of lighting trickery he's white-passing.

he's passable as he's fully Eurasian, doesn't have any of that uncanny barely sentient looking african visage to it
I had no idea The Rock played Hercules. But Zeus impregnated women from all over the place. He must have children of all races.
Is this real or just a joke made by AI posters?

Your post is a reasonable precaution tbh
Thanks anon. I genuinely somehow missed this movie existing

and then at the end he picks up a stone pillar that's literally like 200 feet tall
It had good parts, why do leftist homosexuals endlessly use the word "chud"? It's reddit tier baby talk.
