@HedgeDirty I would say you get it than most. It’s classic Western literature, but artists have reinterpreted it for literally thousands of years. The pushback without actually seeing it has been dumbfounding.
@BurrowBeliever The quote from the review was more specific, something like we haven’t seen a movie this visually detailed since TLoR. Still a really good compliment but this tweet is exaggerating what the original review was stating.
@JamesPrescott77 Also, the Odyssey is a Western Classic that very few people alive haveread fully. Its themes and characters are entrenched in Western thought,but it’s not a beloved property that the populace carry strong feelings on. It’s the perfect source material to adapt your own vision on.

This nation was built by brilliant young men.
Today was a really, REALLY special day.
My sister and her family have been inactive in the church for 22 years. About 6 months ago some sister missionaries knocked on their door and asked if they could share a message about Christ.
Fast forward to today: My 14yo nephew is getting baptized. My Brother in law is getting ordained to the Priesthood so he can baptize his son.
I showed up to their church to support them and witness his ordination. The bishop asked "Grandpa Joe, have you ever ordained someone?" and I said "I haven't, no." and he said "well here's your shot!"
I was a bit nervous, but as I stood behind my brother in law and placed my hands upon his head, the spirit calmed me and guided my words. I knew exactly what to say through the whole blessing.
Then, later that day, my nephew had his baptism and they asked me to be the one to confirm him and the exact same spirit was there to lead his confirmation. I knew what to say because the Holy Ghost told me.
It was an amazing experience and I give all glory to Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ for this eternally monumental day.
