I also made a post about the good elements of the movie on my instagram, which are significantly fewer than the bad ones. I wanted to be fair.

Splendid post! No wonder it gained so much traction on instagram.

I watched the movie myself (ahoy mates) and I gave it much less grace. I have some things to add.

For example, something I didn't like was that the guy speaking Greek was (accidentally, I think) made to look like a Barbarian to the foreign audience, even though he was the only ethnic Greek in the scene! Most viewers still don't understand or want to accept (because of his skin color) that this is how Greeks look.

Something else that seemed strange to me was that Helen had a twin (which meant she was no longer the most beautiful woman in the land!?!?), and that Menelaos gave her a scar as punishment. Menelaos, who, in the ancient text, took her back without hurting her, and the gods rewarded him for his restraint! So now we are adding more abuse against ancient Greek women. So feminist!

The scene with Argos' death was so brief and unimpactful that I felt NOTHING!!! The execution of this scene was a crime!!! 😭

The audio... Guys... the audio!! It was extremely loud! I have a half-deaf friend and his ears were in PAIN during the showing in a local IMAX cinema!

But maybe the biggest crime of it all was that it was bland and boring. I am the type of person who doesn't mind a whole helicopter landing over Troy for the metamodern flavor of it, IF it is set up correctly. I think a random helicopter would have improved Nolan's snoozefest, actually.

Even if we disregard all the Greek erasure and inaccuracies, this was Nolan's worst film to this day.

I saw an interesting technique for drawing faces and eyes at an angle, so I decided to try it with Ryis 🥹

He's been next on my list of Mistria characters to draw, and I'm really happy with how he turned out! His preference for warm color clothing overlaps with my own preferences, so his outfit was very fun to experiment with.

my friend took in a stray and she’s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like we’re roleplaying as the US military

"Oh yeah, we have an outdoor Corgi, he just gets so bored cooped up inside all day. He knows to stay off the road. Don't worry, he's way too smart for coyotes and the neighbor's know to look out when they drive past."

"Us? Oh, of *course* our Dachshund sleeps inside- we just let him out in the morning and make sure he comes back for dinner. He just does his own thing, no worries."

"Um, you know it's not humane to keep a chihuahua confined to an apartment? They're dogs, they're natural predators. They need to experience hunting behaviors or they get depressed. No we don't leash ours, he absolutely hates it, we just let him come and go whenever."

Yall get how fucking stupid that sounds, right? So stop letting your goddamn cats get eaten and attacked and infected and hit by cars

A toddler would probably love full unattended access to the neighborhood too, but we don't do that either, do we

It's 2026, "keep your damn pet in a house or in your view" should not be controversial

Do you remember the episode of Spongebob where he's training gary for the snail race and does a coach persona + calls gary a girl and has an aside where he's like "I called you a lady to demean you 🤓" and right after he says that it cuts to sandy and she somehow telepathically feels that Spongebob just did something misogynistic and us like I feel like I need to kick Spongebobs ass for some reason. And then she appears just at the end of the episode to kick his ass.
