It's interesting that a lot of the complaints people have about Christopher Nolan's Odyssey movie, like the modern diversity and dialogue, are accepted features of Epic the Musical. The thing is, I can understand why they garner different reactions. Nolan promotes his movie as being as realistic as possible, but he actually has weird standards—the background music can't have an orchestra, because they didn't have those in ancient Greece, but for some reason there's going to be a rapping narrator or something. Meanwhile, Epic doesn't claim to be historically accurate, so the only excuse that Jay needs for giving Hermes an 80s Synthwave motif is "it fits him and it slaps."

Anyway, my concern now is that if the Epic animated movie actually happens, people who would have otherwise accepted an anachronistic Odyssey musical will recycle their complaints about a different movie that came out a few years before.

This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.

So I've seen the post going around that's kind of like "kids should be able to read whatever they want and not have their choices censored by adults" and I largely agree with one caveat which is that children need to be able to opt in. I remember being 12 and sneaking some dirty books, and being interested and excited to read a book with something more sexy in it, and no one died, and everything was fine, and I was not forever scarred. However I do remember being shown a a horror film at seven by a babysitter and not being able to sleep for three weeks, and if I'd known how scary the movie was I wouldn't have wanted to watch it.

Kids can usually know what they can handle. Kids cover their eyes at scary points in films, kids read past stuff they aren't ready for. But it is good to be clear like "Oh that book might have some scary parts you might not like, are you sure you want to get that one?" Or "Oh this book has some grown up things in them that you might have a hard time understanding, I want to check that your okay with that." Like give kids the warnings and options and they will probably make a safe and informed decision. It doesn't have to be either or.

I also think kids should be allowed to be wrong about what they can handle without getting in trouble for it. They should be able to go to the adults in their life and ask for help processing what they saw or read without fear of judgement or punishment.

And kids (and anyone) should be allowed to change their minds at any point.
