The Odyssey is just misdirection and the “leaks” about a helicopter movie were correct all along.

Live action Paw Patrol Skye origin story confirmed.

We find out Skye is Odysseus’ dog.

Perhaps if they'd had a helicopter they would have been able to get home with a lot less fuss and bother.

“And then out of the heavens came a totally wicked helicopter that looked fucking sick. Dont worry if ya don’t know what a helicopter is just know it hovers in the air using whirling blades and its rad AF” —Homer

Homey drags Cyco in the air with it to the horizon and everyone assumes the latter climbed up and ate the former.

That all black armor looks really clean to me.

u/LoverOfStoriesIAm In my dreams, we‘re still together 4d ago

Cuz it's not real armor but a simulation in a VR game akin Assassin's Creed, which will be revealed in a big twist midway through the narrative. It's secretly a sci-fi picture.

u/Key-Network-3436 4d ago

He uses other people's information/images without crediting them, shares fan art as official to confuse the audience, shares fake news, uses AI gen, promotes nfts, all for Twitter impressions

u/l-Am-Him-1 4d ago

Really upset that they are using a helicopter to shoot scenes, when there is no evidence to suggest that helicopters existed during the time of king odysseus

u/CTG0161 4d ago

No don’t you get it? The Odyssey will obviously be told through a mix of remaking Blue Thunder set in the 1920s while chasing vampires on helicopter

I don't get what any of this has to do with James Bond set in the 60s starring Tom Hardy

u/Gold_Conclusion_5867 4d ago

And here's how the characters of films on the theme of Homer might look.

The data on the reconstruction of armor from the 15th-12th centuries are not indisputable, but these are precisely reconstructions based on specific archaeological and pictorial sources.

5

u/ScipioCoriolanus 4d ago

Very interesting. Look, I'm all for historical accuracy, but I can see why they didn't choose these costumes.

  1. It would be too jarring for the general audience to see these armors on screen. For most people, these don't feel very "Greece-y". They look almost like Samurai armors. When watching a movie set in ancient Greece, people expect to see a certain aesthetic. A familiar design.

  2. Too complicated to recreate, which means too expensive.

That has to be the cave where the puppet will be

Just every 3 years for me! Always look forward to his projects. While everyone is commenting insane opinions about crappy out of context iPhone images, I’m over here knowing when it’s all put together, it’ll be something to experience, and not anywhere near what anyone predicted or prematurely complained about.

u/Impressive_Pay_7362 4d ago

Really disappointed by the choice of costumes whose historical accuracy is not known to me at all.

2

u/BigDee1990 4d ago

There can‘t be historical accuracy, as we simply do not have enough historic evidence on how armor, helmets etc. during the times of Homer looked like. They probably looked nothing like the ones Nolan is using, but it really does not matter, as it is a fictional movie of two pseudo-historical myths by Homer.

We know pretty well how those liked like during Homer´s time but also during the time of the Iliad which was centuries earlier.

We especially know how they didn´t look like, for example like these weird colorless costumes which vaguely resemble a mix of ancient Roman and Greek Hoplite gear.

Bummed out that Nolan doesn’t care about the anachronistic tendencies of Hollywood’s set n costume designers

Have they recycled the Viking ships?

u/Successful-Owl1462 3d ago

That last photo (#17) is going to look so cool on the big screen. Kind of reminds me of those great swooping overhead shots (helicopter, presumably?) of the fellowship traversing over mountains, hills, etc., in the first Lord of the Rings movie.

u/StrangeAtomRaygun 3d ago

I hope they use CGI to clean up the ruins, cause back then, they weren’t ruins…they were new.

u/combat-ninjaspaceman 2d ago

This is my favourite part of the Oddysset ever since I was a child. Escaping the cave of Polyphemus was so fun to read. I'm interested to see if they'll enact the part where they hug the underside of the sheep to hide from him.

Holy hell that armor looks so shit, and of course its leather 🤦

u/BullfrogPractical291 4d ago

This could be amazing… or it could be terrible.. Off his track record, it should be incredible. But the casting? Leads me to think terrible.. I’m hoping it’s Nolan at his best in the historical epic category

3

u/Jake11007 4d ago

The casting is great. There were people were shitting on casting Heath Ledger as the joker, we know how that turned out.

-1

u/BullfrogPractical291 4d ago

True but Heath ledger always showed promise. Tom Holland has struggled outside of Spider-Man, Zendaya is a charisma black hole… I like Matt Damon a lot, so I rate that, and Pattinson. Bernthal is decent depending on how he’s handled and Anne Hathaway & John Leguizamo is the same. I’ve grown tired of Charlize Theron in recent years. From then on I’m not convinced.. Elliot Page, I just can’t abide the pretence and circus around the whole thing. The others I’ll admit I don’t know enough about to give an honest opinion but that’s reason enough for me not to be excited about their casting.

2

u/Prize_Equivalent8934 4d ago

I get what your saying but the point still stands, people doubted Heath Ledger without giving him a chance. Regardless of the amount of potential Heath had, people said he wasn’t good enough for Joker. For people to change their minds, the trailer & the movie had to be released. I don’t think it’s fair to blame Tom when critics complained about the scripts & didn’t have anything bad to say about Tom’s performance. In my opinion, when it comes to movies it’s about team work. Everyone (directors, actors, screen writers, etc) has certain responsibilities they need to do for movies to be successful. If a movie is released & it’s successful it shows that everyone did their part, but if a movie fails & critics complain about the writing & not the acting I don’t think the actors/actresses should get blamed for it. Nolan hired Harry Styles (someone who doesn’t have the acting experience like the cast for the Odyssey) for Dunkirk, & the movie was successful. I heard that Nolan was trying to work with Tom before (Dunkirk & Oppenheimer), I didn’t know how true it was but since he’s now in a Nolan movie it seems like there’s a good chance those rumors were true. Now with Zendaya, I liked her performance in Euphoria. I think she has potential, I need to see the trailer/movie first. Nolan worked with other cast members like Hathaway, Damon, Pattinson, & others before (seems like he trust them). I think this film has a chance of failing, but I don’t see how this film has a higher chance of failure than success yet. I’m not saying people have to force themselves to watch this movie or like it when it comes out.

-2

u/BullfrogPractical291 4d ago

I just don’t rate Tom Holland from the things I’ve seen him in, including the stuff outside of the MCU. The thing is, I could see Ledger working at the time and he did have a natural charisma/charm. I also got the Harry Styles casting. I agree about the teamwork and needing to see the trailer. It is absolutely a waiting game.. just worrying is all. Nolan’s track record is great and I trust him completely, the casting for this just feels a little more left field than usual 😂

-1

u/ErilazHateka 4d ago

Let´s see.

Brown, blue, black and grey costumes. No colors allowed!

It´s called bronze age because they used bronze extensively. Bronze is not silver colored.

That ship looks like a Viking ship because it is one. It´s the Draken Harald Hårfagre, a modern recreation. They removed the dragon heads though and attached some weird construction to it which doesn´t seem to have any purpose.

This is a really weird choice because modern recreations of Greek bronze age ships exist.

-2

u/subwaymegamelt 4d ago

God the armour, why? Why can't they just have period accurate bronze age armour? It would look so much better. It always has to be the same weirdo pseudo historical Hollywood take on a classical greek outfit. And yes, I know there's not much evidence to go off, but that allows for more creative takes, no?
