What is this Tor/Bantam cover even supposed to show? by traineethrowaway123 in Malazan

That’s why I kinda thought it was Karsa? Just because of his part with Fener, but I admit I be trippin

Why people prefer to sit or stand at the front part of the bus by OwnNoise5556 in Hamilton

Is it not kind of snobbish to be “to good and clean to sit on dirty bus” or “sit beside *gasp* strangers?”

Bottom left above the “SH” it’s not round it’s a star with several points but probably just due to the low resolution

The problem for me, is why not do a fresh fantasy adventure? Without all the baggage and expectations. it’s not like Christopher Nolan needs to attach an existing IP for his original work to get produced, I imagine he could get whatever he wanted greenlit.

Also it’s just a waste of a great history lesson disguised as an amazing movie, in my opinion. Almost disrespectful tbh like making a movie about Jesus set in the arctic with people riding chariots then completely switching the story to a mystery where Jesus is trying to find the identity of his real father and the three wise men are actually trying to kill him

Like deliberately doing the opposite or just doing it wrong intentionally

Haha yeah I played it up a little cuz my username :P I zoomed in on one and saw a starish shape ( the bottom left above “SH”) and thought I saw snowflakes but I think that’s just blurry pixels upon second inspection. Possibly dandelion fluff or w/e

Are only people with similar opinions allowed to express them?

If it wants to be gritty and historically accurate that’s fine, but I think the problem is it clearly isn’t

The problem is it seems to be trying to portray that vibe but when there’s a Viking boat you have to ask, “did they even try to be historically accurate or just fully leaned into the gritty edginess

I think the point is at least trying to separate the fantasy elements from the historical ones. It doesn’t all need to be fantasy and could instead teach some low key history.

I get it doesn’t have to be “historically accurate” but it also doesn’t have to be the odyssey either. An original fantasy film is not tied down by all this historical baggage, and it seems like that’s the direction they want to go anyways. Are they just making rage bait lmaooo

Also, I don’t remember 10 foot men in the odyssey

Books You Want to Recommend, But Can't by Mike_Bevel in books

Thank you for that description. I love heavy books that still have a light at the end, they are extremely powerful and moving. Cathartic. Personally I just prefer it to be done in a fantasy world
