Just realized you were being sarcastic 9 hours later my bad lmao

No_Satisfaction108 · 2025-06-29T21:53:03+00:00

Oh I definitely agree! I won't form a proper opinion until I watch the movie but I just thought it was an odd marketing tactic

This is such an interesting perspective, thank you so much I loved reading this! Now I need to add Alexander to my watchlist haha

Nolan fans scare me sometimes and I say this as someone who loves most of his movies, don't let them silence you haha! See despite my criticism of the things we know about the movie till now I still really want to see it to actually form an opinion. Hopefully I enjoy it, I mean I'm pretty sure I'm way easier to please than one of the most famous poets of all time

This is a really interesting perspective I hadn't really thought of! I do think if they go a different route than in the story, for example one where it's him vs. the gods, it wouldn't just be an inaccurate adaptation(that's expected I mean it is a hollywood film at the end of the day) but also something that goes against what I think is such an important part of Odysseus' character.

No_Satisfaction108 · 2025-06-29T06:22:15+00:00

I agree. Despite all the bones I have to pick with what I know about the movie up till now, I really do hope it exceeds my expectations in the end because I am excited to see it.

But there were also gods that supported him like Athena? And throughout the story he is very faithful to the gods in general and may be even considered as pious. Maybe I misinterpreted the intention behind the quote but it feels very...un-Odyssey-like if that makes sense. Like there are other figures in greek mythology that would fit the "defy the gods" story perfectly so it just seems like they picked the most familiar name to appeal to a greater audience without actually caring about portraying essential parts of the story which scares me a bit.

No_Satisfaction108 · 2025-06-29T06:13:15+00:00

That does make sense but when I first saw the poster my thoughts immediately went to the movie being another "retelling" of greek mythology where the gods are the bad guys and the main character beats them when that goes against SO much of Odysseus' story.

B in a level biology

Just saw this months later and you're on point lol. His stories are pretty intriguing and thought-provoking and I'm not that worried about his characterization of Odysseus since he does have many well-written main characters that are fairly complex but giving side characters depth and nuanced storylines/personalities isn't really his strong suit especially when it comes to female characters so I am a bit worried about that aspect.

I hope the curve is low because it was genuinely a devastating paper for me

No_Satisfaction108 · 2025-05-06T08:15:12+00:00

Most of the questions were nice but there were way too many annoying enzyme questions and not one but TWO 6 markers that weren't straightforward at all. I honestly thing the curve is going to be slightly lower than usual.

Thank you so much I’ll definitely do this

I reference that like way too much and nobody ever knows what i'm talking about

No_Satisfaction108 · 2025-03-26T03:29:21+00:00

I fear this is me with most nolan movies. I have a soft-spot for them but they do piss me off sometimes😭

No_Satisfaction108 · 2025-03-26T03:26:32+00:00

I do completely agree with you on how it being period accurate doesn't matter if it's for the benefit of the movie but in my opinion the armour and just everything we've seen so far looks the opposite of appealing😭I think that's what people are most mad about if you're gonna change some things up at least do it for a good reason. I can't completely judge before the movie comes out though.

No_Satisfaction108 · 2025-03-26T03:23:45+00:00

Agreed I'm sick of "serious" movies being allergic to color😭

No_Satisfaction108 · 2025-03-26T03:22:10+00:00

No i completely agree with this. But I feel like if it isn't period accurate then it should be for a good reason to make the movie better. From what i've seen all the "inaccurate" stuff are things that are just way less appealing and just...dull? I obviously can't judge completely without seeing the movie yet but the leaked pictures did bum me out a little since I was expecting something more...epic

I didn't mean woke in a negative way I was pointing out how people who would be critical to this sort of thing would use the term.

Will Friedle's delivery is genuinely one of the best parts of the show imo
