dean winchester has a crush on doctor sexy from a fake tv show parodying grey’s anatomy. jensen ackles stars in a movie alongside patrick dempsey aka the doctor sexy blueprint: mcdreamy. they play bisexual lovers in a throuple. patrick dempsey’s character is named cass. misha collins walks onto the supernatural set in 2008 and proceeds to have irredeemable and narrative-defying homoerotic chemistry with jensen ackles. the original doctor sexy actor returns in supernatural’s final season as a pastor who tells castiel it’s okay to be gay. it’s poetic it’s fated it’s cyclical it’s hyteria-inducing

Anyway here is my take:

I think trying to make a movie out of The Odyssey (not the story of Odysseus, but The Odyssey as in the poem) is a bit of a doomed endeavour as the structure of The Odyssey simply does not jive with the structure of the Hollywood movie

I think you COULD make a good movie out of the odyssey but would need to engage w the fact that it's a work which veers back and forth between fantasy and realism; that it's a story told out of chronogical order; and also that it is a Trickster Hero story first and foremost. It is perhaps best done as a comedy but with the occasional shocking swerve into graphic violence.

[penny-anna]

Here are my opinions:

The Odyssey should be a musical but ☝️only some of the time. When Odysseus is narrating? Musical. Penelope and Telemachus on Ithaca? 🙅‍♀️

Odysseus can break the fourth wall during the parts where he's narrating.

Movie opens with Odysseus inside Charybdis, whirling around and around clinging to a tiny raft and screaming. *Freeze frame* yeah, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.

[penny-anna]

In essence am I implying it should be tonally similar to the emperor's new groove but with ultra violence? Perhaps

#but more to the point of the original post: i wish moviegoing audiences were more skeptical of the ability of Hollywood#to adapt any and everything#like. i still think about how jeff smith's bone has floated around in development hell over several different iterations for DECADES#and like. HONESTLY? good. it doesnt need to be anything other than a comic.

this is a bit tangential but. yeah. it is straight up hollywood propaganda i think. everything must eventually become a hollywood movie. books must become hollywood movies. comics must become hollywood movies. successful movies from other countries must become hollywood movies. & ur mainstream hollywood movie is a pretty narrow category of what a movie can be.
