Overthinking

NEW ✨

so I just watched the odyssey movie....

The “nobody” scene in the odyssey is absolutely not just a clever pun—it’s a character defining moment for Odysseus because he refuses to be nobody. He devised an incredible plan that worked and he could have saved his men and returned home much sooner but he just had to yell to the cyclops that he isn’t nobody—he’s Odysseus, king of Ithaca so now Poseidon knows who to curse which severely fucks up the rest of the journey.

And while I’m here, I think it’s exceptionally pretentious to make a film that is inaccessible for the majority to see and with no way to actually see it as intended when it eventually comes to streaming platforms and disks.
