About to watch The Odyssey in theatres. Need to see if it’s as cringe as everyone says it is. I know everybody’s memeing the casting for Achilles being a 5’ transgender but I genuinely hope it’s actually an enjoyable watch lol

CORRECTION: Ellen Page played Sinon, lol. I thought I heard people saying Achilles. I need to brush up on my mythology!

@ChloeCole Just finished it...these cringe moments were so forced. Movie was just boring. 🫤

@ChloeCole CORRECTION: Elliot Page plays Sinon

@ChloeCole Sinon is a Greek soldier. Or in this case a 50lbs girl

@ChloeCole People were assuming Achilles, because in the Odyssey, Achilles' ghost is found in the underworld. They substituted the character with Sinon. Somebody who is not in either The Iliad or The Odyssey, but instead was first mentioned in Epic Cycle over a century later.

@ChloeCole Sinon and the Trojan Horse are mostly from The Aeneid; Virgil not Homer.

@ChloeCole if the character does everything achilles did in the story, and achilles isnt in the story...... shes achilles.

@ChloeCole “Owning the trans people by giving their movies my money”. - Transphobes on Twitter, unironically

@ChloeCole Ma'am, people are stupid and rushed to judgement, it's a decent film

@ChloeCole They made her character do everything that Achilles does. Literally a proxy character so they could finger wag and say "See! We didn't make her into Achilles! The chuds were wrong!"

@ChloeCole you didn’t care what character he plays in the first place, you just wanted to be pissy on the internet about trans ppl in movies

@ChloeCole You did hear people saying that, because you're an idiot who lives in an echo chamber full of grifters and desperate attention-seekers and other idiots

@ChloeCole Yeah that's because you're in a right wing outrage bubble filled with people who don't know anything

@ChloeCole That was the initial rumour. You didn't mishear.

@ChloeCole Bro spelt theater the British way

@ChloeCole I think they changed roles somewhere. Don't know for sure.

@ChloeCole His name is Elliot.

@ChloeCole Still a woman playing a man’s character

@ChloeCole People already said this, but you're just an idiot

@ChloeCole Elliot Page**

@ChloeCole Sinon is not in the original This is intentional garbage

@ChloeCole Bitch with this jaw I’d be careful about dead naming people

@ChloeCole Sinon wasn't even in Homer's Odyssey Nolan grabbed Sinon from Virgil's Aenid, then had Sinon stand in for Achilles in Hades
