When will we get a historically accurate version of The Lord of the Rings?

The Odyssey is setting critical and box office records in various categories nearly every day, but there remains a loud subsection of social media users, mostly found on X, who remain dead-set against the film. One of those users is the site’s owner, Elon Musk, who has previously said that “Chris Nolan has lost his integrity” in response to comments about Nolan casting the actress, Lupita Nyong’o, who is Black, as Helen of Troy, among other sharp posts about the film.

Musk supposedly has several full-time jobs, overseeing companies that appear to be having a lot of problems at the moment, (his super cool space rocket company stock is down 23%, and Tesla is getting eaten alive by those inscrutable Orientals) and none of which include as part of their job responsibilities taking the role of Lord Protector of White Supremacy in its Most Ludicrous Form.
I don’t know if this is actually the stupidest timeline, but I sure as hell don’t want to see the winning entry in the multi-verse contest.
