The internet has completely lost the plot over The Odyssey. In this video, I react to the newest Odyssey trailer, the backlash surrounding Emily Wilson’s translation, and the wave of YouTubers claiming that modern retellings are “woke distortions” of Homer. The problem? Many of these criticisms fundamentally misunderstand what translation is, how Classical texts survive, and the long history of adapting Greek myth. We’re talking about Homer, translation theory, Classics discourse online, mythology adaptation, and why internet outrage keeps flattening nuanced conversations about ancient literature.

It's not shit because of any wokisms losers are complaining about online. It's shit because the armor designs are so rediculously historically innacurate that I want to explode. Nolan had an opportunity to do something really cool and unique and he fucked it.

I hate how we have all these resources for history, yet they only get used when it's to make Special Forces™ Operator slop movies.

If I had fuck you money and no revolution to spend it on, one of my projects would be to make a modern film with the kinds of mistakes you see in medieval and classical films.

Like fuck it: all the Americans are played by Italian actors with Italian accents and pistols shoot down fighter jets. Some of the guys are wearing Union Civil War uniforms, some of them have WWII Marine uniforms, and half of them are wearing 18th. Century uniforms from other countries. Our story is about the 2003 Iraq invasion. The Americans will be spouting off communist propaganda on how we need to liberate the proletariat by switching sides and fighting to keep Sadam Hussein alive as other Americans played by Frenchmen counterattack with German Panzers. Paul Bunyan makes an appearance.

My least favourite thing from Hollywood is Russian characters with such terrible accents that even I can tell they're just plain awful. Just stop, at least get a Ukrainian to act those parts, or have some proper training, please 😭
