This is just what trolls do, and those two are the most prolific. They just argue nonsense for pages that is meaningless to get a rise out of people. They live for it.
Like Kaiju arguing for pages that Emily Wilson said the movie was more feminist than she wanted and never being able to produce this quote, ever

Nolan has a different vibe around him. Even as grandly scattershot a Nolan film as “Interstellar” gets fawned over with a kind of hindsight glow. As a filmmaker, Nolan is revered as a popcorn visionary, a head-tripping puzzle master, and the mod version of a David Lean classicist. He’s also the movie mensch who looks and dresses like an impeccably groomed 1960s British matinee idol as he stands up for the holy cause of cinema: movies viewed in theaters, movies lionized as something that should loom large. What this all adds up to is that Nolan, in his cherished way, has become a one-man movie cult.
It’s all tied to how Nolan taps into — and is, in a way, the incarnation of — Elevated Fanboy Culture. Fanboy enthusiasm, which you can probably date back to the day “Star Wars” opened in 1977, is movie fandom that lives in search of thrills, shocks, excitement, and one quality above all: awesomeness. What is awesomeness? The fanboy (or fangirl) knows it when he or she sees it — in a Marvel movie, a Zack Snyder movie, a hip horror movie. It’s that moment that makes your jaw drop, your eyes widen, your head explode. It’s the quintessence of movie escapism — escapism purified and heightened into cinematic crack cocaine. That’s why the fanboy addiction to awesomeness is, in many ways, the enemy of movie art. For if all you’re seeking from movies is awesomeness, you might be numb to anything more quietly dramatic or subtle or spiritual.
The paradox of Elevated Fanboy Culture that surrounds Christopher Nolan is that the members of his cult regard themselves as connoisseurs of artistic things. They are not comic-book zombies; they’re on a higher tier. Yet in more ways than not, they’re seeking a version of the fanboy rush: a cinema that will blow their minds. And Nolan, feeding off that appetite, has become the thinking person’s fanboy demigod.

International looks strong, I'm gonna predict 700-800 mil. That plus 450-500, domestically, puts it at 1.2-1.3 finish

$2.4 billion and a permanent Iranian ceasefire.

Break even number is rumored to be 2.7 billion. This will go down as one of the biggest flops in cinema history.

3 billion, and Nolan must force Ellen Page to transition back

The Bad:
Casting. Just bad. Having Asians and Indians and Blacks took me out. Every time I saw them.
Costumes. No continuity. Sometimes they looked Greek. Sometimes Roman. Sometimes Medieval. And the Robin Hood scene with Berthnal and Holland… Yikes.
Score. Terrible. Just a bunch of noise.
The Ugly:
Elliott Page. Huge mistake in casting. Terrible performance. Totally wrong for the role.
The casting choices definitely were distracting. Elliott Page just looks so damn weird. I can't unsee what she is and who she used to be, when trying to watch her act on screen.

Yeah I'm not sure what's there to argue at this point. Sinon literally reveals that information during his talk to Odsyeus

He was channeling his inner madking.
Its obvious madking lives in an alternate reality where a different The Odyssey exists.
Madking in Wonderland

Madking very obviously didn't see the movie. He is getting "arguments" from elsewhere to criticize it while pretending to have seen it, but he misses so many things its very obvious that he didn't
