Marvel Studios’ ‘BLADE’ was announced 7 years ago today. The project is now dead.

IMHO, a lot of conservatives are missing the Biblical forest for the woke trees in Nolan's Odyssey. Yes, the casting of Elliot Page is silly and egregious. But here's the thing: Nolan's "The Odyssey" is an apologia for Christian morality poured into a Greek vase. The entire movie is rooted in what Nolan terms "Zeus' law." That law is: "Treat others as you would want to be treated, because anyone might be a god." Now, clearly, there's nothing like that in Greek mythology. It's not implicit in Homer. It's a direct rip from Biblical morality, substituting "because anyone might be a god" for "because man was made in the image of God." Nolan then takes this rule and uses it as his moral glue: the idea is that Odysseus, in utilizing the Trojan Horse, violated Zeus' law and led to full-scale slaughter. That sin has led to the unleashing of broader globalized sin (the "sea peoples" who don't respect Zeus' law and are invading surrounding areas). This is a highly Biblical message: that sin is infectious, and that sin also affects the world at large, not just the sinner. Odysseus has sinned, and he must atone for that sin through self-imposed exile. He must also sacrifice his own aspirations to restore the possibility of a moral universe: because he has unleashed catastrophic violence and violation of Zeus' law -- manifest in the suitors' cynical use of Zeus' law to eat Penelope out of house and home -- he must violate Zeus' law one last time and then accept the penalty, which is exile. This is a not only a movie that will make millions of people go read classical literature again. It also reinforces the idea that violation of the Golden Rule has disastrous consequences. I dunno. I'd consider that, on balance, a large-scale win for civilizational values, when weighed against the woke casting of Elliot Page or the dumbass discussion over whether Lupita Nyongo is good-looking enough (she is, and for the record Diane Kruger is German, not Greek).

no one gave a fuck about homer until the odyssey happened and now everyone think agamemnon is tuff and odysseus is super strong and wise but in reality agamemnon isn’t even considered a real hero of the trojan war and odysseus is one of the weaker warriors

I suppose it's time to finally start this. Atlus are cowards for not letting me pick the hardest difficulty

What happens if someone, perhaps a previously isolated shut-in otaku, does make friends? And they're still quite unfulfilled? Do they just...keep making more? Date more? Divorce and remarry 5x? What about when their partner dies before them in old age? What are they living for?

dude he looks so naked without the blue

Pop art dealing with depression, alienation, and loneliness (Eva, TADC, Wall), resolve it by invoking Society & Community as the cure. Whether it's Blood & Soil or Chungus Found Family, it's the same pattern. This is oftentimes not realistic, just the lonely artist wishcasting.
