@III___Words @loskeeyi @Bilb0T_Baggin @wana_visualss idk, when i watched it i thought Xerxes looked dope. I dont think the author intentionally tried to do what you’re saying simply because “muhh i dont like brown people.”, i think it was just “how can i make the good guys look good and the bad guys look like comic book villains?”

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@III___Words @loskeeyi @Bilb0T_Baggin @wana_visualss well the thing is the comic book wasnt trying to be a historically accurate work, it was trying to be a comic book, so either appreciate it for what it is or at least recognize that theres no point in criticizing it for something it wasnt even trying to accomplish.

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@Corumlinvirus @Teradactull @EconAfterDark i mean i think its fair to assume someones going to at least do their best to follow the story and cultural setting in which the story is placed if they name their movie the Odyssey. the assumption is baked into the fact that they chose a story with so much cultural baggage.

@NolaBane @doom615_rishik @stormreddessert @mural_erza @CultureCrave @GMA a fifa f4g calling me a bot 😂🫵

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@Teradactull @EconAfterDark well no, but he isnt on record anywhere saying “yeaaaa really im just gonna shit all over the original work and do my own thing.” either soooo… sorry for expecting more.

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@NolaBane @doom615_rishik @stormreddessert @mural_erza @CultureCrave @GMA now we got doom615_rishiks bf on the other end 😞 whats next? Uncharted deserved a grammy? NW-home was masterfully written? lol, go watch waterloo, master and commander or even harry potter then come back and tell me the odyssey was engaging and well written. you have shit taste.

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@loskeeyi @Bilb0T_Baggin @wana_visualss yea but still, they were going for the comic book not the true history behind it. In that sense i think Zach did a good job, otherwise i agree.

@megawhelmed @RodHenry305 @ProvMagazine @NadyaWilliams81 thats what ive been saying, at that point just do what they did with Romeo and Juliet, why even try to set it in greece if you wont be faithful to the setting and culture??

In re The Odyssey: What everyone is missing is that it is a boring, sterile film with awkward dialogue (even when not spoken by the incompetent Tom Holland), whose deepest emotional note is angst, just like every other Christopher Nolan film. Nolan is a technically proficient but unintelligent director, hence his well-known popularity among filmbros. Relatedly, the rash of cultural criticism has ignored the film’s cinematography, which could have cued our nation’s best bloviators into what is really going on with the movie, because it is so much of a piece with the rest of it: bland, undistinguished, forgettable. For instance, at my screening—admittedly, not in IMAX 70mm—Odysseus’s massacre of the suitors was distractingly difficult to follow, yet another instance of the apparent contemporary inability to light battle scenes. Christopher Nolan has never been one of our great directors, and with The Odyssey, he has achieved yet another non-breakthrough.

In short, 7/10 – a decent blockbuster. Like every other Christopher Nolan movie. Dont over-think it.

@TobeyLouG @mural_erza @CultureCrave @GMA if you’re gonna be on an adult website ofc ill assume you're an adult, though its all starting to click now… also no, you started hurling insults like a toddler then got on your back-foot after, e/w still a fat raccoon content with eating garbage; guessing you liked Uncharted?

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@EconAfterDark which in all fairness, i don't think its the actors fault that they got bad direction, but then again Anne, Matt and Robert all did good with what they were given to work with

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@EconAfterDark point blank period. The whole thing would have been much better if he had prefaced the movie with “inspired by” rather than tried to frame it as a faithful reimagining; the costumes were horrific, the dialogue was laughable and a bulk of the actors just… sucked. Also why Travis?

[Leon's Roundhouse @EconAfterDark]

anyway, i felt The Odyssey is an artistically sauceless film with off-putting pacing and bad creative decisions that strip the original text of its nuance and reduce it to a simplistic retelling of a layered classic. I'd personally be embarrassed if I wrote such a version of it

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@doom615_rishik @stormreddessert @mural_erza @CultureCrave @GMA brother the first time you even heard of the odyssey was when christopher nolan dropped the teaser eat my dick

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@TobeyLouG @mural_erza @CultureCrave @GMA Ahh yes, let me take Spider-Mans number one fan’s opinion as truth, and fuck off with “respectfully” you fat coon, go jack off in a mirror and flatter yourself some more

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@TobeyLouG @mural_erza @CultureCrave @GMA then again, its obvious you just have a stick up your ass for him, he was neither brave, convincing and his dialogue was shit; which in all fairness can be chopped up to Christopher Nolan, but Robert Pattinson even did a good job with how bad the writing was, so its just Tom

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@TobeyLouG @mural_erza @CultureCrave @GMA i mentioned spider man for the only reason i had to, tom holland is an emotionless rock who was only ever even cast as spider-man in the first place because his cadence was already like peters, not because he could act like peter. Andrew Garfield could act, Tom just whines.

[pipegod69 @HEISARISEN]

@WimsyWonders @doom615_rishik @mural_erza @CultureCrave @GMA well christopher nolan did a shit job writing the movie so why would i take his opinion, especially when he put Travis Scott of all people in the movie.
