Whether you agree with her or not, the reaction to Emily Wilson's criticism of The Odyssey really shows just how many people are happy to turn their brains off and consume consume consume and get rabidly angry and dismissive/defensive when someone dares to think more critically
Finally saw the Nolan's Odyssey tonight. Truly awful film. Editing, writing, costume, and sets were all awful. The ethos of the Greeks is traded for Nolan's Catholic guilt. The message about preserving religious tradition was fine, but communicated in the most hackneyed way.
Mi hot take es que a Nolan le suda muchísimo los cojones la Odisea y tan solo necesitaba una historia que se sintiese épica y fundacional para una audiencia occidental y proyectar sobre ella sus ansiedades sobre el fin de la "Pax Americana" y la "crisis de valores".
Reminder that Dendra armor can look cool
You just need artistic vision and proper tailoring, making armor is not something everyone can pull off.
Not even all of those who live off that trade.

The Prequels were mocked for years because of lines like “I don’t like sand.”
Now, critics can't stop praising a movie with “Our Age of Bronze is collapsing” and other masterful dialogue.
