Your "mythology v reality" argument easily falls apart with only 2 or 3 seconds of thought.

Thus:

That's funny. I was under the impression only two films were compared in the OP. If I go back and read my post it's pretty clear I'm referring back to the comparison in the OP. Sorry that is difficult for you.

One person on TD or X said it needs to make a billion to break even and you believed them?

If you do a typical 2x like most do then it needs to make 500 million, if you want to stretch it pretty far and say it needs to do 2.5x then it needs 625 million. On no planet does this need to do 4x its budget to make money. Good lord man.

Based on your typical level of discourse, probably not much of anything.

I'm not as familiar with this board. Are you the resident punching bag? You're exceptional in that role, if not.

Yeah, I could see how this would be your take if you can't understand how movies based on myths are a relevant response to your smooth brained take about "one is myth and one is historical."

This board is definitely infected with a lot of people who are that level of stupid.

You is smart. You is kind. You is important.

So obviously you care vastly about having movies based on history or mythology be accurate as possible especially when it comes to the cast

Ok cool, so let me ask what do you think about the white washed cast of the new Pasion of the Christ movie? Jesus was many things but a white man he was not

I never said it was, so that's a strange comment.

This is the opening weekend. Yes, someone like Nolan has a baked in audience that will show up when he releases a movie. If you can't understand that after reading "but it's Nolan" ad infinitum I can't help you.
