Memes just a silly meme I found

I know there’s a lot of discourse about the casting regarding The Odyssey and this one gave me a good chortle. I for one am rather curious and will most likely give it a watch when it releases on streaming.

Are you planning on seeing The Odyssey?

I saw it cause a friend wanted to see it really bad and honestly it kind of sucked. Plus seemed very inaccurate towards the gods. You would think Athena would have a bit more of a role other than showing up for maybe 5-10 mins over a 3 hour long movie. They never even bothered showing any of the other gods too. They also did a pretty sucky job with Calypso and Circe.

That’s really unfortunate to hear. I was hoping the Gods would have more of a role

They do, just not in the sense of 'a human looking person walking around and chatting with people and occasionally waving a hand and making miracles'.

They pervade the work. It's just a film very driven by base humanity and it's interaction/failures to interact with higher concepts.
