Tom Holland as Telemachus was undoubtedly my second favorite performance of the entire film..couldn’t think of anyone better suited for this role than him he was simply PERFECT and i couldn’t be PROUDER of him give me all the awards #TheOdyssey
@EvvyMaraj@Thorpeehy the novel is set in Orïsha, which is a fictional kingdom, not Nigeria. It draws heavily from Yoruba mythology and culture, but it isn't claiming to literally be Nigeria. So saying "Orisha isn't a real place" isn't really a rebuttal, because the story never says it is
@EvvyMaraj@Thorpeehy which is completely meaningless because anyone has creative freedom as long as it's not deteriorating or demolishing the core values of a culture in a way that's excessive.
@EvvyMaraj@Thorpeehy yes it's fiction, because that's simply what the definition of fiction is, you could have started your argument by saying it's a misrepresentation of the culture which is a totally valid opinion, but you kept going about how Nigeria is a real country and how orisha is not a city
@RichAndPowe7ful@Thorpeehy firstly, no 'goalposts' were moved, it's a matter of comprehension, secondly you and I know there are endless examples of fictional works in which non existent characters and places are created and still have their origin tied to actual irl places and events, it's fiction...jesus
@EvvyMaraj@Thorpeehy A considerable part of the new Spider-Man movie was shot in Europe and the UK, so what else do you have to say? Fictional stories devise entirely new non existent places and characters and still reference it's origin to real life events and locations, so this argument is baseless
@EvvyMaraj@Thorpeehy are you retarded? Spider-Man exists in New York in the fictional world of the MCU, does that mean New York doesn't exist? if you actually read the book you'd realize that Children of Blood and Bone takes place in a fictionalized, pre-colonial West African land called Orïsha
@FugaziReturn@Thepetitebabe1 exactly...I just rounded it up as the album to even prove my point further, now compare the PR ayra got for WDG and her other singles lmao, people just say shit on here
