You know, it doesnāt feel right that a dead fandom needs to have a new installment to get revived
I haven't seen the Nolan Odyssey and I'm not planning to (maybe when it comes out on streaming or something, IDK), and I know there are a lot of ethical problems surrounding the production (pollution, filming without permits, etc) -- not to mention, according to a lot of reviews, it's not actually very good at what it's trying to do. But I think some of the elements that are being criticized for being "unfaithful" could, perhaps in the hands of a better storyteller, be really interesting creative retelling choices.
Like, I think a retelling of the Odyssey with the Godly/supernatural elements removed could be fascinating, actually! One of my favorite retellings is Phaedra by Laura Shepperson, just because in a sea of mythology adaptations and retellings about the adventures of Gods and magic and prophesies, Shepperson went with a completely atheist retelling -- everything that's divine or magical in the myth is written as completely mundane and human-done in Phaedra. Bold choice. Love it. I think a similar Odyssey retelling would have a lot of potential.
And I think it's interesting that 10 years ago, we were awash in retellings and creative reinterpretations and AUs of classic stories, and now reimaginings are kind of passe and people are demanding "faithful adaptations" instead... there has to be something notable about that cultural shift. What's up with that? Obviously part of it has to be just market saturation, but it seems like something else, too. Gender politics, maybe? Reinterpreations/AUs/etc are feminine-coded, often focused on giving more agency and subjectivity to female characters who were more minor characters in the source material, so "retellings are cringe" could be a masculine backlash. But that's not the whole of it, either -- a lot of anti-retelling backlash I've seen has been from feminists, like "Unlike you trendy third-wave #girlboss fans of 'feminist retellings,' we Real, Serious feminists know that the true feminism is in the original source material!" So... weird confluence? I'm going to be over here with my cheugy reimaginings though.
Some artists who are hell bent on ruining their fellows' online lives should honestly be facing the threat of a lawyer man. Wrap it up. Genuinely wrap it the fuck up. You need legal intervention. I hope one day someone has enough resources to take you to court
The problem with being such a huge ass geek is that Iām wired to expect literally everything to be my superhero origin story and nothing ever is

Iāma hold everyoneās hand when I say this but I see so many people treat Toon Force as these 10 commandments every toon has to follow with these rules that you can figure out if you study the cartoons long enough but Iāve always saw this force as only one rule. Whatever the person creating the cartoon finds funny. Like thatās it
I feel like sometimes people donāt understand what I mean when I say I donāt ship something.
for me, not shipping something doesnāt mean I am anti-that ship, or that I donāt see the reasoning or potential behind it. it simply means that it does not move my heart or my metaphorical dick. there are ships that I actually vehemently hate, but I am very specific about those. if I simply donāt ship it, Iām still very fuckinā chill with it.
I get feeling tremendously let down when your favourite show takes a dip in quality. I really, really donāt get the tendency Iām seeing in fandoms to call for a showās cancellation the moment it goes in a direction you donāt enjoy.
āI didnāt like this so no one should get to enjoy any more of it everā!?
āSet the actors freeā from a paying job!?
Cāmon, guys.
