Nobody obsesses over The Odyssey quite like the people that haven’t watched it.



Every conservative I know IRL who has seen it says it's completely fine on this front

It's very annoying to have these influencer conservatives continuing to wage war over it, I don't see how it's helpful. Particularly as to Nolan, who has made some of the better, less heavy-handed films of the era.

How so? Even the actresses, praise it for its feminist perspective. It’s overly derived from a feminist translation. What are you not getting about this?



The person who wrote that feminist translation doesn't see it that way.

We. Have. Seen. The. Movie.

You have not.

There is absolutely nothing feminist about it. In fact...it is very very much the opposite in many ways

* I’ve seen & enjoyed the Batman movies. I’ve seen interstellar, inception, Oppenheimer… I will never see this garbage. You can try & mock me as much as you want, I’m never seeing it.

Its because they get ragebait clicks over it, and get people to believe and rally around bullshite. See this thread

Its what the 2024 Republican Primary became. It gave rise to the performative right wing clickbait grifters, a bunch of former Dems who realized where the money was and how they could sway people through the algorithm. But I digress

Are you...laughing at me referring to Emily Wilson as a feminist?

Do you know literally anything about Emily Wilson? You are truly a one of a kind stupid.

One only has to listen to her talk to know that she is one.

This is not open for debate.

Ok, so why are you here?

Your opinion is based on nothing. You haven't seen the movie to see how fricking stupid your opinion is.

And it is fricking stupid. If you watched the entire film openly, you would feel really dumb

Kaiju is more of a Minions guy. Mentally he isn’t old enough to watch rated R movies.

Not nothing. I listen to Nolan & the actors themselves. I SEE who is cast in the movie. The armor is crap, the ships are Viking, not Mediterranean, not Greek, the trailers LOOK washed out and bland. And the dialogue… ho lee fuq!!

I will not reward this trash with my time or money.

I’d need to be 130 yrs old to enjoy this trash.

And I pity anyone who doesn’t like the Minions.

Except you have spent literal hours of your life consuming content and debating this movie. Probably more than the majority of people who watched the movie by a large margin.

You may not view that as rewarding the movie, but it certainly extracted your time from you. Time is our most valuable resource.

I would hope you could reflect on how unhealthy that is, but I don't think you will.

Then spending it talking about other posters instead of the movie seems odd.

My one post about you took 2 seconds.

You are really bad about making false equivalence arguments.

It’s very healthy to vilify garbage like this. Stop being a snowflake who cowers in the corner & meekly follows the crowd, doing what you’re told.

In no world is consuming rage bait healthy. And you know this.

Nobody told me to do anything. I don't consume content around this stuff. I watch a trailer and think "that looks good" or "that looks bad" and I make my decision.

If I'm on the fence, as I was with this movie, I'll wait for some reviews of people that I know and they all said positive things.

Whats healthy about it? It doesnt seem to bring you any happiness. You are just as bitter as you were a year ago. A year+ worth of ranting and raving about every movie that you feel has an "agenda" hasnt brought you any peace.
