Ormund calling Rhaenyra weak because she’s a women but then vomitting at the sight of blood is hilarious.

Rhaenyra has given birth multiple times, killed a wild boar, beheaded a man, and bled protecting her son; without once crumbling like everyone expected her too.

"we cut the nobody scene from the odyssey" "we cut the religious trauma and parental abuse from carrie" i'm starting to think that studios barely funding original films is starting to have an effect where directors make up a story and then slap an IP on it in order to sell. or maybe some bitches just can't read anymore idk it's one or the other

The “nobody” scene in the odyssey is absolutely not just a clever pun—it’s a character defining moment for Odysseus because he refuses to be nobody. He devised an incredible plan that worked and he could have saved his men and returned home much sooner but he just had to yell to the cyclops that he isn’t nobody—he’s Odysseus, king of Ithaca so now Poseidon knows who to curse which severely fucks up the rest of the journey.

The “nobody” scene highlights both Odysseus’s cleverness but also his arrogance and those two traits define Odysseus throughout the entire story. It’s a foundational aspect of Odysseus’s character and cutting the scene displays a shocking level of ignorance and disregard for the themes in the source material.

So, to be clear. There's a lot in Nolan's Odyssey that I liked.

And while I can nitpick inaccuracies all day, the strength of a movie must be its strength as a movie. Adaptations must change things and that's fine. We can judge a movie by its own merit.

But while there's a lot to like in Nolans film, it's also *another* film where he's weird about women (using them as vague symbols of things we've lost), and has thinly veiled right leaning political messaging.

The film seems confused about some key themes- we should condemn the horrors of war, but also shame those who are too young or who hesitate to pick up a sword. And the way Antonious (a child at the time) avoids the war by having a child of a lower class (Sinon) take his place is condemnable....but Odysseus owns slaves and we just won't mention that.

Athena is somehow both the totem that connects Odysseus and Penelope, but also the specter of his War Crimes guilt. So, what, his guilt over Troy is what binds him to Penelope? How, exactly? (Gotta have a dead woman haunting the narrative somehow, I guess.)

It's a movie where no one is really allowed to be noble or clever, and it never really seems sure what kind of violence is needed or monstrous.

It's a movie where, I guess, Odysseus does a bad thing and stays bad and feels bad but gets everything he wants while also being the cause of the Bronze Age Collapse. His great sin is using deception to raid a walled stronghold from the inside, killing a bunch of people, and desecrating a temple of Athena....then he goes home, desecrates another temple to Athena before using deception to raid a walled stronghold from the inside and kills a bunch of people. But you know, he'll sail to "The West" and civilization will, uh rise again eventually.

Because, you know, Our Age of Bronze is Collapsing I guess. And there's no point in sticking around trying to fix it or make things better or even mitigate the fallout of it. Your kid will handle it, and you and your wife can retire out west.

You can tell a human wrote this tweet because all the LLMs have actually read The Odyssey and are therefore aware that Homer's original is non-linear.
