one of my least favourite things about the odyssey is that it does sort of treat the audience like they're idiots. a bunch of flashbacks to things that happened half an hour ago and despite clunkily explaining what zeus' law is in the first five minutes they keep re-explaining it

i don't think nolan is really trying to condemn either oppenheimer or odysseus, i think he's showing how easy it is to focus on a singular moment of spectacle and catharsis and repress the obvious ramifications through putting the spectator in an analogous position

strongest part of odyssey for me was that (like oppenheimer) it's very interested in the ethics of spectatorship and complicating the enjoyment of the big set pieces (the bomb/the sack of troy) by viscerally reminding the spectator of the consequences we'd all prefer to ignore

It's strange writing the script for a video you know is going to get overwhelming gruff criticism in the comments; but if you can't express yourself genuinely about your perspectives, then there isn't much point to haing a channel, I guess, so rough with the smooth and all that.

Marvel needs to make big moves, it needs its balls back. Wolverine needs to smoke. Mutants should be hunting humans and humans hunting them, not being cutesy with law enforcement, talking about identity “fluidity”. Magneto is a genocidal Jew that suffered under Hitler and has adopted his ways, he wants to mass murder humanity—THAT’S A CHARACTER!! A VILLAIN!! You wouldn’t know that reading X-Men. Legacy numbering needs to return so these stories MATTER. Doing that requires courage from an EIC, his job may depend on it if it fails in the short term. I sense a continuation of the same. A slow grind to the bottom. Marvel needs an EIC that’s has a big and bold plan to turn sales around. Liefeld is that guy, I don’t know if Wacker is. I hope so.
INSERT PROFILE NOTE HERE!@reinoe

@ChrisNoeth @JonMalin Cebulski was a company man from what I can tell. I asked chat GPT and it said Wacker is actually a better editor but there's really no way for me to tell.

While Batman’s no-kill rule was once noble and an essential pillar of his character, it has mutated into a cancerous nihilism. @gnolan12 explains how The Killing Joke and other stories perverted Batman's heroism. youtu.be/8yTmZTA8tEQ

Since these comics can never have a definitive conclusion, you just get facsimile after facsimile after facsimile. An endless corporate ouroboros. No catharsis, no opportunity for anything to actually become a classic, let alone a myth. 4/4

The way comics and movies have been, particularly with Marvel and Disney, has been extremely incestuous. Comics are made with the knowledge that they will be adapted into movies; the movies then reference the comics that they were adapted from. 3/4

Um, Homer’s Odyssey is non-linear. Also, I don’t think he is going to understand the Greek. Also, what artist will the AI rip off for that visualization, eh? My goodness.
Matei Cananau ☦︎@MateiCananau

What AI should genuinely be used for is to narrate books word for word while also visualizing them. I want to see an Odyssey movie without non-linear story-telling for modern audiences. I want the source material.

SUPERGIRL is IP slop. Been there. Done that. It's lazy storytelling and not remotely in touch with what multiplex masses want these days. James Gunn put this one through a GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY AI blender. And if I'm being honest, SUPERMAN wasn't that much better. But that's how far DC has already fallen off with this new regime.

@TheExilesNet Hilarious, he made a huge deal about using her translation as a basis and even she wasn't happy with how he handled it.

I honestly don’t believe this is about not sexualizing the characters as much as it’s about avoiding the accusation of sexualization. It’s much easier to do that than it is to engage in a real conversation with the kinds of people who would complain about it.

I don't know what led on to this weird skirt/pants combo but it needs to go away. It's either pants or a skirt stop going for both.

The Emily Wilson thing from The Odyssey discourse has pissed me off. Across much of YouTube, it has basically hardened into dogma that Nolan based his adaptation on her translation. I've seen this spouted on at least half-a-dozen high-profile channels. Here's the reality:

The reason some people claim not to find the existence of free will evident is that they have a superstitious view of human beings, that we are controlled by all manner of external abstract forces.
