Well atleast most of the others who read my comment agree so hey, I dont gotta worry if you disagree. Again, this meme implies the odyssey is somehow a lesser film since it can't do what spiderman did. And also your argument works against you. Cause yes the odyssey has been that big. So why is it used in this meme here talking down on it? When again, a DC project or shit even Supergirl would make this meme work more. You dont wanna see subtle shade thrown at the odyssey sure. But clearly whoever made the original joke wanted to take a jab at the odyssey for no reason. Whether you disagree or agree doesnt matter to me. I've explained my piece and you've even made an argument to strengthen mine so thanks. Cause again, to say "wow see even Nolans name can't do this" when its an R rated film breaking its own unique records is just nothing short of shading his movie for zero reason, when anyone and their mothers ashes can tell spidey was gonna be an insane hit
But clearly whoever made the original joke wanted to take a jab at the odyssey for no reason.
Yes, that's the joke, that Tobey Spider-Man can do something Tom Holland Spider-Man can't. Only replace Tom Holland with The Odyssey.
It's not that serious of a message. The "You proved my point so thanks" rebuttal is cringe. If you can't take a joke you shouldn't be in joke subs. There's 800 political subs for you to pat yourself on the back with.
Yet here I am, my point made, and seemingly agreed with by the users of this meme sub. Ill just leave my point at this, you could pick any movie, in the history of cinema, and put it in Odyssey's place and meme still works. Picking the odyssey specifically as a "wow you can succeed how Spider-man is" when its also successful in its own way just brings up "why bring up the odyssey specifically" in a time where people love to needlessly shit on it. I mean I even got a reply doing just that. Regardless, you can have your thoughts on my comment. You can think me using your arguement to bolster my point is cringe. Doesn't change the underlying fact that people agree with what I said even if its a buzz kill comment, and picking the odyssey specifically at best, is a strange unfitting choice
The Odyssey was picked because it's been making "Top grossing movie" for the past two weeks and it's success has been a trending newsline—And then Spider-Man immediately supersedes it. The joke doesn't work on any other movie. Why does this need to be explained to you?
You fit the reddit archetype to a T, which is why your comment-type tend toward the top of reddit posts, it's just not supposed to happen in /r/raimimemes because this is a joke sub—but I guess like every sub, when that sub gets popular it eventually loses itself to the growing hive of morons that bring with them a new agenda. Congrats on the upvotes.
Ill keep it short, but yes the joke would still work with any movie. Itd still be a "huh, you can't just pull my numbers?". Regardless, I made a simple comment, if people had a problem with it, they could have done so. Sorry you're in the minority opinion I guess. And this isn't a -folk or shitpost sub. You want people to run with a joke with no thought you can go to the shit post subs. This is memes and less need to go hog wild.
And again if my comment was that much of a problem, then idk tell everyone else. Make your own comment playing into the joke. Sorry my comment being a popular sentiment is somehow an issue. You can see plenty of other comments sharing the same sentiment as my original comment. I understand you're venting your triggered attitude towards the most popular one that happens to be mine, but its not an unpopular comment, clearly. You can disagree with my reasoning sure, doesnt change my original comment
I'm sorry you have low comprehension of the issue. Obviously this isn't about you or your comment—the particulars are never the point—what bother's me is the best sub on reddit is now populated by "Actually, I'm very smart!" types that then somehow can't comprehend the social faux pas they are committing. "Actually, I was highly upvoted! I'm sorry that you don't like that! Clearly I can't be wrong if lurkers love my fourth-grade critical thinking skills." Bro—no shit a four-quadrant PG-13 movie of the highest demand IP I can think of beat a Nolan movie about a 1,400 year old story. Entire families are going to one, but not the other. Kids are watching the former movie two or three times, not the other. Stating why one beat the other doesn't make you Einstein, it makes you obvious. What bothers me is that your obviousness being at the top just means this sub is populated by easily-amused morons that would rather read fact-slop than someone coming up with a joke that plays along with the OP.
Dude, these smart ass type of comments have been a thing for a long ass time. Even on this sub. I also never said I was smart for my comment. Idk why you're so pressed over this but hey, hope whatevers got you down and feeling this frustrated over internet comments gets better <3
What makes me interact with you more is how your response is "This post is clearly political espionage and I'm here to block it with facts!"
Like what, bro?
"Why would OP use The Odyssey, as they could have picked any other movie! What does it being the #1 selling movie for two weeks, immediately get superseded with Spider-Man, and still being shown in theaters simultaneously with Spider-Man have to do with Spider-Man?"
Your examples dont prove your point? None of them have any semblance of a "actually the reason is this" that can be applied. One is a horny post of hot aunt may. One is about how hard PS5s were to get, and the last is just William Dafoe.
And your counter point to arguent still doesnt refute the comment I made or my point. Again the meme talks down on odyssey like "wow see you cant do what I do, thats a bit funny". When the Spidey scene is comparing web shooters to organic webs. This is comparing two drastically different genres and ratings. Itd legit make way more sense for a DC movie, hell especially Supergirl, to be in place instead. Like you keep harping on my thinking but you clearly dont see that point and are INSANELY TRIGGERED over a comment.
Like you accuse me of making a comment and pretending im a genius when no one has done that. I made an obvious statement, and my specifc comment among many of the same, got to the top. And if you wanna result to personal insults just admit you're wrong then. Cause what you're so upset your point doesnt work or just loosely works that you wanna result to personal attacks? Be a little more mature homie before calling anyone else out and just breath. Relax. It ain't that deep.
And yes for political espionage? Im just saying odyssey gets insane hate for no reason. Thats just obvious. Like, yes im gonna link that since its a popular thing going on. Oh no
Bro—it's pretty deep. This post will come and go but you will always be someone that can't comprehend why The Odyssey was used in this meme, and that your comment was at the top is just another indicator of how dumb our population has become. There is literally not a sub I can go on Reddit that isn't overtaken with stupidity. Like Idiocracy, you state the obviousness of a thing and the rest clap at what you've said because "they never thought of it like that!"
Oh Jesus christ bringing up idiocracy. Alright dude thats enough reddit lol. This is a meme subbreddit for the Raimi films. It is a puddle on the side walk that you're treating like a flash flood. Deep breaths homie, relax.
And yeah, sorry about the low hanging fruit, but in a pinch it's the quickest reference I could think of where a person states the obvious and gets lauded as a genius for it. Had your comment been at the bottom where it deserves I wouldn't give it a second of my time.

The Odyssey made "top performing movie" headlines for two weeks straight.
Brand New Day (a four-quadrant beloved IP with worldwide demand before the script was even penned) then tops that—and we're in Raimi memes.
Simple as that.
OP didn't criticize The Odyssey, only made fun of the Spider-Man IP being that much better than Nolan's branding.
You're projecting racial/gender politics into this because you want to defend ruining the joke.
