Honestly, even though he's the hero, he's kind of an asshole at times.

Should note that the movie isn't accurate at all. As always with most of those made plainly for entertainment..

uh sopiler alert please

The original epic was also made for entertainment.

Yeah, the visual representation of the cyclops was nothing like what it was in real life, for example, and everyone knows the real siren's song is Fetty Wap

I can’t wait to see the look on your face when you see what happens with the horse!

And he has exactly one way to deal with issues: kill people.

Discussing the (historical) accuracy of the Odyssey, is a lot like debating whether or not modern Godzilla movies are canonical.

Wait, wait, you mean accurate to the source material or historically accurate?

Because it was never real. Discussing the historical accuracy of the Odyssey is like discussing the historical accuracy of 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'.

how do you know? We're you there? Checkmate losers

Listen, the call of milf is strong. Also Telemachos talks mad shit on the internet

This is just how you (slightly) expand the gene pool of Archaic era Ithacan elites. We're gonna King Ralph everybody except Odysseus!

Well, they were trying to bang his wife. So that's a party foul, bare minimum.

Artax no!

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’

Just reminded me: I wanted to watch it when it came out. But didn't manage to and forgot until now. Is it any good?

That's basically why I love the story. Unfortunately Nolan's movie apparently has very little nuance in that respect.

That's what a vampire would say 👀

Discussing the historical accuracy of the Odyssey is like discussing the historical accuracy of ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’.

So here's this giant wooden horse. And we ... put our soldiers in there to cause massive damage

It's fun, in a 'this is trash' sort of way

This is why our generation feared quicksand.

debating whether or not modern Godzilla movies are canonical.

Honestly even that argument has more weight imo, "canonical" for Gojira means Toho Approved™, unless Toho has spoken, there's room for debate. For instance "American no, Toho yes" is my stance (without consulting Toho, but they have final say.)

It's pretty clear The Iliad and Odyssey are not "canon" to reality lol. Honestly more like "debating the historical accuracy of The Odyssey is like debating the historical accuracy of Gojira" lol.

No they weren't.
