There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.

The "Tell me about an uncomplicated man" is a merciless roast 😆

The problem with doing Odyssey adaptations is they already did O Brother Where Art Thou

Part of what makes the Aeneid great is that, unlike the Odyssey, Virgil suffuses it with a tragic and serpentine vision of history. When the Trojans finally reach Italy, they immediately begin desecrating the land and destroying its wildlife. They war against the native peoples, dividing former allies and subjugating the remnants. Under the spell of prophetic fantasies, the Trojan refugees metamorphose into their Greek persecutors. Aeneas, once rational and compassionate, becomes a new Achilles, crazed by destiny and ready to build the future upon blood sacrifices, violated treaties, and Turnus's butchered remains. For Virgil, no one escapes the nightmare of Empire.

as per my last straw,

as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine
