i like when a piece of media says that an all-powerful character "sees humans as insects" because that really could mean a lot of things. maybe they view us as insignifigant and will squish us under their boot. maybe theyre actually studying and cataloguing us for their thesis paper. maybe theyre campaigning for human protection because we're an important part of their ecosystem. maybe they see a human and go "ew ew ewwwwww someone get the cup and get that FREAK out of my house." .

quasi-normalcy

We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"

Beneath the Golden Willow by Ed Perkins

Also while I'm talking about the Odyssey:

What a weird choice to make Clytemnestra Helen’s twin sister. Like I get it, Lupita is gorgeous and you don’t want to hire another actress.

But the fact that Helen is the most beautiful woman in the world is kinda...essential for the plot?

It is the whole reason why Paris chose Aphrodite in the golden apple contest, why he kidnapped her, why the whole trojan war started.

And you're telling me that there is another woman who looks exactly like her?? So Helen is NOT the most beautiful woman in the world ?

It makes no sense, and there was no good reason to not hire another beautiful black actress to play Clytemnestra.

spoilery review of the odyssey

actually my biggest problem with the odyssey is that it takes away so much of odysseus's responsibility. he doesnt make a choice to sacrifice his men; it's literally given to him as the only choice. the choice of a plot line where he's basically forgotten everything (and being drugged) when he's with calypso instead of choosing to portray it as him cheating or being assaulted removes so much of the depth of his misery and background for his choices. he doesnt do the "nobody" bit with the cyclops, and he instead just has a little moment of foolish anger. the choices he does make (such as listen to the siren song) have no real consequences.

you could almost call him blameless, and it takes so much of the choice and responsibility and development away.

I feel no connection to his humanity, and I really hate that

Parts of the Odyssey I WISH Christopher Nolan kept...

Aeolus and his wind bag

Odysseus meeting his mother Anticlea in the underworld. It hurts his heart to see she died of grief waiting for him to return.

The horror after Odysseus' men butcher the sun god's cows. The meat starts mooing on the skewers, the cowhides slither along the ground, and the carcasses get up and start moving like live cattle. It would've made for some great horror.

Penelope testing her husband by saying she moved the wedding bed (one of its posts was carved from an olive tree and the whole palace was built around it so you would have to uproot it to move the bed). Odysseus gets irate hearing that it was moved and his reaction is how she knows it's not Zeus in disguise (recall that Zeus is not above shapeshifting into women's husbands)

Telemachus nearly stringing Ody's bow on his first try with no prior knowledge but Ody secretly signals for him to stop

Athena being a bro and asking Eos (goddess of dawn) to hold back the day so Ody could have as much time "reuniting" with Penelope as possible.

The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope.

I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.

Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?

It ain’t Kermit

But who is the single human cast member in this tale? Who gets to put in an Oscar-worthy performance alongside the Muppets and what role are they to play?

There’s no single human, everyone is a Muppet except for one scene. Circe, played by Janice, turns Odysseus’s crew into humans who still behave animalistic and are all played by Academy Award winning actors.
