@softguarnere As the prophecy foretold 😌🙏🏼

[softguarnere]

@xandra-warrior-princess will you be mad if I just chant this every time we see a shot of the ocean in this movie?

[gregorydickens]

Just what we need, another comic book movie.

@softguarnere

[softguarnere]

Tell me why I JUST read something about this comic while studying for comps today 😭🤣

[genericpuff]

i can't even come up with an adequate enough comparison to describe the second-hand embarrassment i'm feeling at this moment, all that's coming to mind is that time i threw up in the school hallway in 5th grade and that was still easier to cope with than this

[xandra-warrior-princess]

@softguarnere girl im so tired 😭

[softguarnere]

@xandra-warrior-princess I can't stop staring at this because my brain just does NOT want to comprehend that Jon Bernthal's head is shaped like that 😭

[xandra-warrior-princess]

@softguarnere i can already tell we're gonna be such pedantic fucking history majors about this lmao

[softguarnere]

@xandra-warrior-princess they should bring back Drunk History just for us to talk about this movie

If I want to watch an adaptation of the Odyssey, I will simply watch O Brother Where Art Thou

Maybe the most damming thing about Nolans odyssey is i haven’t seen a single gifset from it

Odysseys drawing his bow

[hashtagloveloses]

hearing that the trojan horse appears in nolan's odyssey as a representation of his part in the fall of bronze age civilization, and his greatest source of guilt that partially causes how hard it is for him to get home, and then seeing the movie studio make the horse into a popcorn bucket is like if they made a Little Boy popcorn bucket for fucking oppenheimer

[storynerd121]

so I just watched the odyssey movie....

and I made this within 5 minutes of returning. so I think that sums up my thoughts on it. (though im willing to rant more if ppl want it. cause I have COMPLAINTS)

[grgie]

i can understand changing elements of a story for an adaption (and im a big advocate for this! no adaptation can or should ever strive to be completely faithful to its source material) however. cutting the nobody part from the odyssey is a huge indicator that you have fundamentally misunderstood odysseus as a character i fear
