hello there

Zendaya plays an unnamed temple priestess whose head is chopped off in front of him and he doesn’t intervene.

But what’s even more gross is that Nolan makes Odysseus seem chaste the whole time like his wife Penelope has to be, and Nolan absolutely changed his whole story.

He isn’t seduced by the sirens like in the original story. Calypso is just there to try to mend his broken heart (that character gets no interior life). Circe was doing it all for self defense and not him exchanging sex for his men to get free like in the original work.

But okay, let’s pretend that Nolan is omitting all of Odysseus’ famous sexual exploits to focus on his pure thoughts about his wife.

When does the film show him thinking about her? He thinks about his soldiers more than he does her.

He just shows up with his household idol to Athena and presents it to Penelope like he did this all for her.

Meanwhile they have Lupita play two sisters that are obviously spoils of war and they had Helen’s face, the most beautiful woman this war was fought over, be scarred by her abusive white husband and her sister plots and kills her white husband who caused the war.

But Odysseus gets to run back into the arms of his untouched white wife who doesn’t even beef with him like the original work set in ancient times had her do? She went in on him.

This whole movie is just white libertarian nonsense.

The first is an illustration from A Psalm for the Wild-Built, and depicts a robot with a glowing butterfly about to land on its finger with a dark backdrop of rain and plants.

The second is a screencap from Scavengers Reign, depicting the robot Levi mostly covered in plant matter.

The third is a screencap from Castle in the Sky, and depicts two children, Sheeta and Pazu, playing on a robot with moss-covered shoulders. Sheeta is holding up a garland of flowers towards the robot’s head.

The fourth is a screencap from The Wild Robot, depicting the robot Roz with moss on her head and shoulders, and the goose Brightbill and the fox Fink perched on her shoulders.
