Okay. For my money, the entire thesis of Chris Nolan’s 2026 film The Odyssey is that society chokes and sputters and dies when we abuse, ignore, or violate social norms like the laws of hospitality. That is not really what The Odyssey (the book/poem) is about, but I can clearly see why in the horror that is the 2020s, someone could read The Odyssey and go oh my god that’s a lot of bad dropping in. That’s a lot of bad visits. That’s a clear vision of how the loss of social norms and cohesion fucks you up and how war, literal, brutal war, is a terrible wound that destroys your humanity and your understanding of what civilization and society is. I don’t know that the iteration of Greek society that ultimately birthed the poem would agree with Nolan’s take, but I think this movie is quite ideologically coherent, that Nolan knew exactly what he was trying to say with each and every adaptational change, and I think he wasn’t nuts for using one of the most famous classical western civilization works as a way to make that argument.

find it really interesting that in a movie about finally moving past your childhood, daniel and margaret are both called childish versions of their names by their partners (danny & maggie) but always refer to each other by the more adult versions…anyway can someone call me when there’s fic of them on ao3

this isn’t a spoiler but in disclosure day (2026) one of the characters says she left the church not because she stopped believing in god but because she stopped believing that god was divine. they gloss over this and at no point in the film does she elaborate. I don’t care about what else is going on. let’s sit down and discuss this

I love a movie where the point is that empathy is not only good but essential for the survival of a species and once you can put yourself in someone else’s shoes and understand their circumstances in even a small way, you can be an unstoppable force for good. Also aliens are real.

Being a misogynist does NOT make a man gay. Luckily dean winchester is gay for several other reasons
