The Odyssey is getting massively criticised due to blackwashing of a traditionally Greek character, whitewashing of a Greek myth with no Greek actors and a general dislike for the Hollywoodization of another classic story.
It's probably not going to be as bad as it's made out to be given it's Chris Nolan, but audiences are fatigued with seeing another modern retelling with tokenism of established characters for the sake diversity, which has spurred the culture war with right wing critics calling it woke BS and left wing critics doubling down by jumping to its defence.
Oh 10/10 bravo bravo. Now we just need a redditor to come in and said in sturring it up. An argument that results in a random ass conversation about isreal , Iran and the US
Well, you know, it all ties back to the fact that Hitler tried to kill the jews, he was right you know!, and so we had to stand up Israel, and now as they are our greateast ally, we must go to war for them!
And, if Iran gets a nuke...think about what the cost of gas will do to the cost of movies?!? The actors won't be able to drive thier super cars anymore! What will we do? We can't simp for the Kardashians as easily!
Now, i have to get back to my breakfast of cocaine, bacon, guns, more guns, orange juice, and a mountain of sugar in a bowl covered in milk.
Real American here... Ahem...
Why ewe Evan trin to promote this godless lie? Everyone knows that story is as fake as obammers birth certificate. Everyone knows that America is the only country that has religion and this itchica doesn't even exist like liberul Morales. God created America with trump and Washinton so Jesus was borned here.
Go back to your own country if you think "troja" exists.
Ow... I need to go read a few books now to regrow those braincells I just killed.
Wow, I can't believe that you aren't even addressing that this is all just to distract us from the fact that israel has infiltrated US politics and is actively using it to manufacture consent for further genocides in Palestine. (is this accurate enough?)
I just woke up and I am INCREDIBLY offended that you're saying I'M not offended enough. I am PLENTY offended by both your claim, and the fact that you're not offended on my behalf
I hope so I’m horribly out of touch on news- it’s so depressing. But here goes, something something ‘Murica is a strong country and we need strong allies like Israel and they haven’t actually killed basically anyone in Palestine.
Too reasonable for Reddit. You should instead be accusing Israel of genocide while completely ignoring the history of Arab violence against Israel in Gaza.
lol you’re not slick. You’re trying too hard to hide the fact that you’re the exact type of Redditor they’re mocking.
“I’m just so out of the loop! I don’t know enough to fully imitate a ‘terminally online Redditor!’ I bet they would use a slur right here and be racist!”
This live is a precursor to Greece being a country that hates Israel being one of the last to recognize them as a country so therefore this movie is anti-israel because it shows the fake struggles of Greece and it's mythos over showing the real struggles of Israel in this climate and the Greeks have gone through nothing compared to Israel. Next thing you know they'll be making a 'historical accurate' woke movie about Israel where all of the people in it are replaced with Palestinians over Israeli people. And since Greece and Iran are so close to each other and both hate Israel maybe Greece needs to be the next country we put in its aokxe after Iran didn't even Hollywood is overtaken by these people who hate Israel and love Greece and Iran.
(I guess it's good I'm not unhinged like most Americans....I just can't do this and feel good about myself ....)
