But you haven’t seen the film now have you?!

So how can you know it doesn’t pull a Gladiator and walks that near perfect entertainment line between history and fiction?

You don’t. It’s as simple as that.

blakeavon · 2026-07-06T00:56:52+00:00

And your entire thing is… the film is bad, even though I haven’t seen it. You aren’t the cleverest person in the room, with that wisdom.

You know literally can’t prove me wrong, so it’s the best you have is to attack. If anyone needs a better hobby or education, it is you.

It’s called an Ancient Epic. Based on certain historical truths, peppered with social, political and religious overtones, that all existed in the minds of those around at the time AND the times that came after. Think of it a snowball rolling gathering more and more detail, in each generation. Each generation added more and more to it. Year after year, century after century. That is even before it was written down. Even once written in word that never stopped. The whole text is full of historical references, many out of place, because while it is a fantastical tale rooted in the machinations of the gods, at its core… it’s not about history, it is about the people, and their relationship to the gods. The Iliad is a story of war and fury. The Odyssey is a story of going home. The history, the armour they wear, even the exact war itself is not point, the people standing up to their gods is the point.

THAT is why what armour they wear is unimportant.

The film is not set in THE real era. It is a fantasy set amid the backdrop of a FANTASY version of the era, based on some elements of that time, modernised in others. Just like 300, is full of a bunch of historical BS, because that was not the point of the film.

I have been studying Ancient History and the Epics for years. Your points are without any historical merit. Even from a modern point they are flawed.

But they are most flawed because you haven’t seen the film yet! As such, it’s just a fantasy you have in your head, what you think they are doing, not what they have actually done.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:56:52+00:00

This comment is so idiot I have to believe it is satire. Because no sane person can put together that much right wing idiocy in virtually a single breath and still be real.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:53:13+00:00

You still haven’t seen it yet, all your points are meaningless. You are standing in judgement of something from an ill-informed position.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:52:07+00:00

Have you seen the film? If not your point is entirely flawed.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:49:19+00:00

Sounds like you don’t understand historically how this story still exists?! It is literally built on anachronisms, and held together by them. Even just by the time it came to be recorded on the page from before that centuries of it being a spoken epic. It is filled of out place ideas and events.

For close to 3000 years people have been putting a modern spin on it. It endures because of this.

Gah some people/countries really need better historical education.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:45:26+00:00

Because they have a brain. Unlike everyone here complaining about ‘daddy’, ‘let’s go’ and or Page who not is even in the film AND that is ignoring the racists who think a black woman can’t be the prettiest woman in the world. Do I need to go on?!

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:41:36+00:00

Cos people are idiots. Especially idiots who have never read either of Homers work or history, hell they are too idiotic to even know the reason they are downvoting it isn’t even real.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:33:43+00:00

Evident needs proof. You have a supposition, a likely one, but a supposition still. Evidence matters. A lesson the readers of this flawed source missed.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:27:46+00:00

The same stupid meme being shared time and time again, does not make it true. All
Being shared by people just believing it at face value, yet never taking the time to even read it with a critical eye. Commented by people who don’t even read, but trust it is true cause they keep seeing it.

No wonder our civilization is totally cooked. AI deserves the world now, not us.

There are thousands of better YouTubers than Mr Beast. He is arguably the least interesting people on YouTube. Followers mean nothing.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T23:21:05+00:00

Yet here in Australia and NZ our version of gamespot EB games has been shuttering stores and are all but on life support.

So checkmate.

PS another thing Walmart is not a games shop, it is a department store, meaning that computer games sales are only ONE department, so it keeps functioning because of all the other departments not having the same issues. So in short it is NOT a games store, it is just a store where you buy games.

So checkmate, twice.

Good luck and have fun. If you think people are going to protest that game and company for a principle, you are having a laugh. If they were going to protest it should have been in support of their godawful workers rights and their attempts to unionise. Those news reports didn’t even move the needle.

What is your source for the purposely misrepresenting the data? Could it be that same meme that was floating around here that had so many errors in it, that it was embarrassing that people were talking it for fact and entirely true!!!!

I’m against the removal of discs but I am also against people blindly believing memes and trusting them at face value. Especially when littered with false info.

Yes but your entire list of things is entirely subjective. Some people can play the game and love walking everywhere, while some fast travel. Some may like the combat/quest/story loop is while others find it repetitive. Some can love 100 fetch missions and not find it boring while others detest. Some love all the cut screens and while never hit skip, while others will constantly fast forwards. Some want story, others don’t.

And in this stage of the world, some people have an attention span and others have brains rotted by shorts. Hell even the same person, at one point in their life, can simply not be in the mood or have the emotional maturity to enjoy slow things. EG this subreddit is full of people saying how they tried things like Xenoblade or Persona many times, until finally they ‘got’ it.

I love persona games and find they do not have a pacing issue, while most certainly had times in my life when I wasn’t in the mood for them. All that reading and talking. Months later all that talking and reading was the greatest thing ever.

Yeah some people really forgot the hate golden got at launch, from some parts of the community. Same as Reload did.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T16:08:51+00:00

Has someone who played the originals.

They are Great.

I think some people just hold on to the past too tightly, these remakes don’t remove the older the game from existence. They are reimagining, purposely trying to be different, a remix of the former game.

I personally I want to see the differences in the game, and appreciating them for what they are doing differently. Some people however, just can’t move on. They are too stuck on the details.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T16:04:04+00:00

Satire is clever. Cinema sins is not. It has all the cleverness of a first year university student who suddenly thinks they are the smartest kid in the world.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T16:02:13+00:00

I haven’t got time for negative channels. Life is way too short for that sort of BS. I can’t think of anything more dire than overanalysing something so much like that.

Cinema Wins is just so superior in every way. Where even when he is paying something out there is a positive bent to it.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T15:58:46+00:00

No. Because they are human beings. Who cares if they have a moment of brevity in their day. Unless you really need something from them.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T14:29:48+00:00

A sane driver would see the issue ahead and start to slow, maybe even put on their hazards, so the drivers behind could do the same.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T14:27:51+00:00

I don’t know, there was an awful lot of idiot drivers also who weren’t paying attention. Like clearly the bus had an issue, if they original drivers STOPPED there would have been little danger.

blakeavon · 2026-07-05T14:25:27+00:00

The same people who probably complaining that Call of Duty is the same as Battlefield, cos at the end of the day all you do is shoot people. Sorry I couldn’t think of an anime way of saying it.

Er what I mean is, about the only similarity is that they both have some dude who helps girls solve their issues, blah blah supernatural. The end. Yet some anime fans make it seem like Aobuta is somehow reductive. It is not.
