Mat

@Neutrolling But when MJF constantly takes the piss out of CMLL and new japan it’s not an issue at all?

What an amazing partnership this has been.

@bvb030 @MakaveliDTA There’s a reason why this is tv14…

@MakaveliDTA Does aew understand what message this is delivering to kids. Oh right they dont care and want to blame it on parents instead of understanding that kids look upto idols and follow them.

This is what #HHH was holding Ciampa back from?!

@SirMpdz Neither historically accurate

Batmemnon vs Fancymemnon

@Tom_Rowsell You just admited you got an attention span of a donkey and brain development of a 10 year old. How nice

I will not watch The Odyssey. Not because it replaces heroic Bronze Age ethos with cringe Californian psychobabble. Not because of cringe America DEI casting Not because the costumes are laughably inaccurate. Because Nolan films have boring, convoluted plots intended to appeal to midwits. The cinematography is as boring as the dialogue. I wanted to punch the little airplane screen when watching Oppenheimer on a flight. Repulsive to all of my senses (except scent). In 2010 my housemate raved about Inception and insisted I go and see it. My opinion of him dropped severely when I saw it. Screenslop for the masses. "ooh what if dream inside a dream?" So deep, man. The batman films had some unintentionally hilarious dialogue and worked better for Nolan, because capeshit is within his abilities. The classics are not.

@SonicOnRitalin Uhh it sure does matter for authenticity. Could’ve hired southern European and middle eastern actors who would all at least somewhat look like myceaninan greeks instead they hired snow white americans and a few africans and east asians

also as a pagan the odyssey is LITERALLY an epic tale AKA A FANTASY STORY so lets all understand IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER THE ORIGINS OF THE ACTORS ILL K!LL ALL OF YOU

yoooo its as if the greeks colonised many lands and "greek people" are mostly west asians and north africans THATS CRAZYYYYY

@whatimemetosay Im sure all the 300k+ people who rate movies on platforms like imdb are paid partners too?

"The Odyssey was a great movie" - paid partnership My TL right now.

@7skrrtt @Edgington_XVI @mericanchzpizza There are more than enough good middle easter and southern european actors that could’ve and should’ve played a role… and there is no reason why the extras shouldn’t be local actors at least…

@7skrrtt @Edgington_XVI @mericanchzpizza Which so happens to be based on mycenian period greece, which mean 99,9% of the people were ethnic greeks. Doesn’t mean the actors have to be greek necessary but at least try to make them look at least somewhat greek.

Genuinely hilarious that these goobers can’t conceive of non-white people existing in a centrally located, world-historic ancient empire.

@Certinfy Aye that’s why user reviews on both rotten tomatoes and imdb are super high for all of them right?

Dunkirk sucked but critics loved it. Oppenheimer sucked but critics loved it. Odyssey sucked but critics loved it. Something isn’t adding up here. Three awful borefest based on history.

@morgangilroy @NolanAnalyst They thought it was the stone age and made the armour stone or something

@NolanAnalyst Why does it look like paper mache? I thought during the bronze age their armour would be bronze?

The magnificent costumes of the Trojan soldiers on the set of THE ODYSSEY

@QTRBlackGarrett Oppenhaimer is far from bland gray timey wimey gimmicked sludge but sure

Audio mix - Horrible Dialogue - Mediocre Acting - Stilted and basic Color grade - Ugly Editing - Schizophrenic Plot - Neutered Effects - Weak Costuming - Spirit Halloween Characterization - Bastardized Score - Not epic or memorable Action - Looney Tunes “Cinephiles” busting nuts over this? It’s basic, boring and mid. There’s a weird social pressure to instantly love Nolan films. Don’t know why. But he’s lost it. He once made unique cinema tales. That had wander, epic level set pieces, and fantastic scores. Now he just makes the same bland gray timey wimey gimmicked sludge. Nolan I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

@LostHistory9 Not really because they probably were the sea people

This legitimately pissed me off. It would've been cool to have the Sea Peoples be another, existential threat in the film. For context, the Sea Peoples obliterated all manner of Bronze Age civilations except 2. They were a truly immense force, not just a few dudes on three boats. Trying to make Odysseus and his men the "Sea People" is incredibly stupid.

@JedediahBlunt @AncientBritonX What the fuck are you even trying to prove. I’m saying source material isn’t historical accurate, you’re trying to have a completely different conversation which i do agree with btw but is completely beyond my point here

@Matwhu023 @AncientBritonX The fuck you on about Mat, what does that even mean? that 500 years before Homer the Greeks had African queens?

Helen of Troy as a real Mycenaean noblewoman (~1200 BC). Based on Homer’s epithets (‘white-armed’, ‘lovely-haired’), later poets (xanthē hair, kyanōpis eyes), and actual Late Bronze Age frescoes like the Mykenaia. Elaborate sculpted hair with curls & beads, dramatic kohl, rich patterned textiles, heavy gold jewelry — PG-13 Edition (she may have gone bare breasted for certain ceremonies). Historically grounded. No Victorian sheets or Hollywood race swapping bullshit. Which one feels most like her to you?

@JedediahBlunt @AncientBritonX The only difference is that Homer wrote it over 500 years after it happened, but wrote it as it happened in Geometric period. As you can imagine there is a huge cultural difference…

@Matwhu023 @AncientBritonX No, I didn’t. The epic unfolds within a distinct ethnic and cultural setting. Whether Helen truly existed or not doesn’t matter; she was a Greek princess and presumed to have looked the part. If she had been African, Homer would have described her as Ethiopian.

@Coops_Kino Just admit you hate niggers and move the fuck on, this looks like garbage

Ulysses (1954) 72 year old movie and looks 1000x better than that bland turd Nolan crapped out.

@KeithWoodsYT Almost like the story is meant to be grim and depressing and not shiny and sunny

Look how vibrant the behind the scenes footage looks compared to the film's sterile presentation. You go from the recognisable deep blues of the Meditteranean to multiple shades of grey. Baffling.

@yowtfahhh Show me where exactly in the book is it mentioned what race is snape?

What happened to Hollywood?

@GiftsUngiven_ The first imagine isn’t historically accurate either 😂😂

These people have the best filmmaking technology in human history at their fingertips, the ability to create the most epic and truly historically accurate depiction of our history, and they decide to make it look like superhero-tier slop Such blatant disrespect to our ancestors

@JedediahBlunt @AncientBritonX Completely missed my point. It’s funny how you complain about it not being historically accurate and whatever when the epics themselves aren’t historically accurate in the first place.

@Matwhu023 @AncientBritonX Freyja didn't exist either but I doubt the Norse had a pygmie lady in mind when they preyed and made offerings to her. This "never existed" thing you fellas keep repeating is pure woke bullshit. So shove it Mat.

@QTRBlackGarrett Funny because mycnaean era armour looks absolutely nothing like you imagine it

People are trying to copyposta this image and say Nolan’s helmets look “close enough” to these real helmets. Are we dealing for water brains here?
