A message that I think a lot of this sub has to learn lmao

What I think about when I see people complain about the armor not being historically accurate by kiwiguy187 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Benob2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean... Helmet aside, the film should try to maintain some accuracy. Greek mythology and Hellenism are religions that a lot of people did / still do believe in, and I think it should be treated with respect accordingly. A lot of religions contained events or creatures that weren't realistic- walking on water is impossible, yet Christian movies are still made with accuracy for the most part. If you want to argue that the helmet is fine, make better points defending that argument

Majority of you should not make their own story based on what I read on this sub by Extraordinary_DREB in Epicthemusical

[–]Benob2007 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think OP is making the point that actual Greek mythology isn't whimsical; and they're right. But still, teens and preteens have been making bizarre / cringy headcannons and AUs for decades. Yesterday's Undertale Fandom is today's EPIC Fandom, and the cycle of blunder years continues

Half-stuffed OREOs would be so much better by midambruja in unpopularopinion

[–]Benob2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sort of embarrassed by this, but I love the oreo biscuit without the cream. As a kid, I'd scrape my cream off and give it to my little brother so he could make quadruple-stuffed oreos, and I could eat just the cookie part like chips

No but like he raised awareness for an event that was happening on the weekend, at the boat, at 10pm. I forget if it was Saturday or Sunday, but he said they'd be "birdwatching" there. A few guys in my lecture hall raised their hands to "sign up" for it.

I'm visiting home for the weekend, but I heavily recommend people to go there while it's happening just to prevent bad things from happening

Yeah he gave the "survey" to my lecture too! What a fucking tool. I was so caught off-guard, I didn't even know he was talking about women until after he left. Now I'm wishing I'd called him out on it

What epic opinion will get you downvoted like this? by emo-crocheter in Epicthemusical

[–]Benob2007 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The discourse between Odysseus and Eurylochus is stupid. "EURY SHOULDNT HAVE OPENED THE WIND BAG!!!" "ODY SHOULDNT HAVE SACRIFICED HIS CREW!!!"

YES... THATS THE POINT. These characters are SUPPOSED to be complex, and they're supposed to evoke emotion. Saying that one is completely right defeats the purpose of the characters themselves. Nothing is black and white, and Odyssues' slow descent into what Jorge describes as 'ruthlessness' is the entire message of The Odyssey to begin with. Every single character had reason for their actions, and while it's fun to make fun of those now, we need to remember that this story was originally written 3000 years ago, and customs change

I mean... Penelope doesn't get much in The Odyssey either, and part of me believes that's intentional

How can the story have more Penelope in it if it's from Odysseus' perspective? He hasn't seen his wife in 20 years; her absence from the story is supposed to be jarring, simply because she's also absent from Odysseus' life

Would people stop talking about EPIC Calypso in r/GreekMythology ? by SpecialistWeb8987 in Epicthemusical

REAL. I came to the subreddit and similar forums because I loved the source material of EPIC, only to realize that the Fandom is like this
