@filmbitten But are any of the supporting characters fleshed out in his movies? Is Telemachus more fleshed out than Penelope? I don’t think he puts the effort into fleshing out almost all of his characters (which he doesn’t have to)

@askforcawmbyok @GeneSmooch This like the communism equivalent of a cinemasins video

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@now_thats_oscar @talkingdamovies But it won’t matter as long as the movie has characters people do like. Like Tobey Maguire’s Spiderman, the X-men (including Jackman’s Wolverine), Captain America, Deadpool. Hell, RDJ returning will bring a load of people in

@rebekah_e_s I did too on my rewatch. I had seen that scene like 4 times at that point because of the prologue

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@LeCappuccinoooo @thhouseofblack @TELEAZE Ah, seems like you don’t know the meaning of canonical either. I think you just need to open up a dictionary

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@LeCappuccinoooo @thhouseofblack @TELEAZE Well, all of these movies and Odyssey are canonically considered adaptations. Society doesn’t care about your new definition

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@fiendformojitos The issues I have with that combat set piece feel inherent to shooting in the format and made me feel like he’s too constrained by it. The final fight in Sinners had the exact same issues for me

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@diodyboobs @marnies_morpeko Well Idk dawg. I just know you’re spreading misinformation without even one piece of evidence to back up your claim

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@diodyboobs @marnies_morpeko I did and found nothing. In fact all I found are interviews on the changes he made. So where are the receipts? Or is this just something you made up?

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@sofiartworks And why are you skipping the part where the movie says that’s a bad thing? It’s literally the final shot of the film

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@diodyboobs @marnies_morpeko Where did Nolan call it the best and most faithful adaptation?

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@ohiojesustwink The idea that the movie doesn’t engage with the metaphysical because it doesn’t show the gods (whose existence the movie is not ambiguous about) feels a bit ludicrous

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@luffy194639174 @thhouseofblack @TELEAZE I thought most of the characters were properly portrayed and it seems like most people agree. You can keep huffing and puffing and it isn’t going to change anything. Also the original story’s ideas about vengeance, loyalty, fate, and the sacred bond between men is still there

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@LeCappuccinoooo @thhouseofblack @TELEAZE Are you applying the same logic to Kubrick’s adaptations of Lolita and The Shining? Jurassic Park? Stalker? All adaptations with massive deviations from the source material

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@LeCappuccinoooo @thhouseofblack @TELEAZE Actually those could all make good adaptations as long as they are meaningful changes that work within the totality of the story. An adaptation that’s beholden to the ideas of the original text is the most boring adaptation one could make

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@luffy194639174 @thhouseofblack @TELEAZE Adaptations that take creative liberties are still adaptations buddy. Just because you disagree with those choices, doesn’t change the definition of a word

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@mise_en_seer @upd0wnfragile Hey, at least you are self-aware that you are not good at being funny

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@thhouseofblack @TELEAZE Just because the movie is not a 1-1 adaptation doesn’t make it less of one. That is not how adaptations work. And where does the movie sell itself as an “accurate adaptation” anyways? You just made that up

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@benshotonfilm I was thinking of American Sniper personally

[DEMAXUS @LORDEMAXUS]

@ReelRhoades @shane42652 Did you even watch Tenet or Oppenheimer? Or Dunkirk, which has a whole joke about a character needing to shit? Buddy, if you are going to be doing some chud grifting, at least pay for the blue checkmark
