@Jon759807481996 @moultano Ohhh right the noted atheist can differentiate a false and true prophet while also not acknowledging God exists. Right, got it, that makes sense.

@BasedTunaCan @moultano *false messiah It's about the dangers of power Sucks you didn't like them. Probably not made for you

The next time "Why is there no conservative art?" goes around, perhaps we can recall the last month in which one of Hollywood's best, most successful, and most conservative directors made a conservative film and the right lost their minds because there was art in it.

@Jon759807481996 @moultano I didnt like either of these movies. And Dune is literally about the dangers of worshipping a messiah and was written by an atheist. Theres nothing conservative about it

@moultano It's honestly a pretty good time for rw art rn

@GMErectheus Im Catholic I would never read a KJV of the bible. It literally cut out 7 books

@BasedTunaCan This is like somebody getting mad with the English standard version because it doesn’t sound like the king James version of the Bible.

The Odyssey isn’t woke; Chris Nolan is just continuing the pre-Obama idea of being race-blind and focusing on acting ability. Right-wing influencers are the ones infected with the woke-mind virus; they see it behind every bush and get triggered. In reality Nolan is just someone from twenty years ago trying to make a good film.

@GiancarloSopo Typical elitist sarcasm. The weapon of a loser

@BasedTunaCan Those are some big feelings. Get some sleep, champ. You’ll be fine.

In my review, I was unsparing of the grifters who spent months yelling “woke” at a film no one had seen. Their business model is to keep the American Right angry, incurious, and alienated. Judging by The Odyssey’s success, though, these “influencers” aren’t very influential.

@Koutchboom Ohhhh the propaganda on me but your immune? I offered you mainstream articles citing why I believe what im saying is true and your response is that im falling for propaganda. Right

@BasedTunaCan Not really when you have media literacy and see either side parroting back the same talking points across multiple accounts. Weather you realize it our not you are being marketed to and you got marketed that THE ODYSSEY IS SUBVERSION, and as we can see.....MARKETING WORKS!

Maga being told to parrot back this buzz word when crying and shitting their pants about The Odyssey.....when it sounds like a plot point from The Odyssey.

@GiancarloSopo Not all of us won't get fired for being outspoken about abortion or being religious. Same people your defending over this movie would gleefully see me fired and made destitute. Get fucked pussy. Youre literally my enemy

@BasedTunaCan What have you conserved besides your anonymity?

@dark_road_games @GiancarloSopo Conserving what Liberals approve of since 1960

@BasedTunaCan @GiancarloSopo Conservative? Lol Neocon at best.

@Koutchboom Ever think your perceived enemies think for themselves? Elonist? MAGA? And im the one using regime accepted PR terms? Get fucked

@BasedTunaCan And yes you are the one parroting back bullshit PR taking points the Elonist are using to attack the film they haven't seen.

@Koutchboom Ive been told? Its common knowledge. USA Today wrote an article on it

@BasedTunaCan Whose PASSIONATELY defending anything? I just pointed out the similarities in Homer's version of the Odyssy to whatever this girl version you've been told Nolan used to make his movie despite scholars saying he's cribed from several different versions which is typical of him.

@Koutchboom You passionately defend something you claim to not care about and somehow Im the "MAGA CULTIST". I supposed youre the enlightened liberal then. Everything is malleable. Nothing has meaning. Unless it does to you in which case its sacred

@BasedTunaCan Similar to a man translating an old wives tale thats been passed down through generations about a mythological event that happened 500 years before him and calling it his own. One of these days we will hear THE TRUE story of Odysseus. NOT THIS EVIL SUBVERSION!

@poorerthandead Leguizamo doesnt say do you bite your thumb at me in that movie. This guy does. And its us, not me

I just saw The Odyssey with my children (20 and 16). The 20 year old is a Classics major studying Greek. She spent all last semester translating passages from The Odyssey. Her take: “ppl need to calm down. It was fine.” Though she then went on to give a dissertation on how the costuming, esp the armor, was disappointingly historically anachronistic. She also made some interesting points about how the film is really leaning into the late Bronze Age collapse. My son, who read The Odyssey this year in school, said of the film: “That was 3 hrs of aura farming.” (I had to look that one up.) My initial, cursory take: It took me about 30-45 mins to fully suspend my disbelief. Part of it was John Leguizamo as Eumaeus, who, in my mind, will forever be Tybalt in Luhrman’s Romeo & Juliet (1996) saying “Do you bite your thumb at me?” Part of it was something rhythmic/pacing related. I think I was hoping for/needing some slow, grand, decorous exposition that created mad atmosphere and put me in a trance. Thankfully, there’s some scenes later that (no spoilers) really create the deep, thick, and mythic sense of time and space I was hoping for. There’s also some moments of cinematographic brilliance. It’s late and I’m tired. More thoughts in the AM. I’ll leave you with the official drink of The Odyssey (acc to AMC theaters), which appears to be a pint glass full of Maker’s Mark. A true hero’s drank.

@clairlemon Youre not this stupid are you?

The Odyssey has made $257M in its opening weekend. That's the entire budget for the film recouped in two days. Christopher Nolan is now bigger than any other star in Hollywood... an incredible feat for a director. deadline.com/2026/07/box-of…

@Koutchboom What would you call a woman translating a story from 3000 years ago and turning it into a modern feminist retelling of the story. And then having the director of this film making the entire cast and crew watch Last Temptation of Christ as inspiration? Another subversive film

@BasedTunaCan Yeah, I'm not some social media think tank group telling a rube like yourself what to say.

@Its_OGlicious @jkimballcook Nolan doing the odyssey, a secular nation of decadent retards eat it up. May as well have Christopher Hitchens do a movie on the bible. Dumbass

@BasedTunaCan @jkimballcook Tf are you talking about lmao

No. He's not in the film, and he's barely in the Odyssey. You're thinking of the Iliad.

@Its_OGlicious @jkimballcook Exactly

@emeriticus Its a 250 million dollar budget. 125-150 mil on marketing and they split like 60/40 with the theater. So yah they need to make 650-750 million just to break even. This isnt hard math

Maybe one of the funniest developments of anti-woke impotent rage is how they openly advertise their ignorance by telling you they use grok do to their thinking for them

@GMErectheus Subversion

@BasedTunaCan Every translation alters what the original says.

@alexpriou Atheists can't comprehend a word you just said. I wish I had the skill to articulate as you just did

The film is actually exceedingly realistic. The supernatural is reduced to a series of PTSD hallucinations—Athena is merely a projection of an innocent girl murdered in Troy, also of Iphigenia. A prominent part of Homer's Odyssey is the transformation in the divine and in politics. Nolan's Odyssey is a secular humanist's wet dream of post-religion world peace.

@BareLeft Some of us just dont want a modern story that makes a 3000 year old myth modern anti war commentary on PTSD

I really enjoyed The Odyssey, and finding out about the chud rage regarding it has been very funny. Just utterly incapable of appreciating anything for the artistic or entertainment value, constantly viewing the world through this tiny, limiting culture war lens. Pathetic.
