Only with aloe, please. I have sensitive skin.

So you’re saying…what?

That when you’re the son of a god, you get the cheap plastic props? What point are you actually trying to make?

By your logic, The Odyssey should have more impressive props, given the divine pedigree of the story and main character. But no. Batman looking plastic, grey colorless fabric, no bronze or dye in evidence.

Yeah, but you’re not anti-book. It’s different if you just don’t have time / energy right now. There are literally millions of people who just…like, don’t believe in it.

Not cool, dude. There are very few words I self-censor, but that’s absolutely one of them.

33% of high school graduates never read another book again in their lives after graduation.

Let that sink in.

228 million adults in the US, and 75 million of them are committed to never reading.

Sounds a lot like the voting block for a certain orange fascist…

How about stylistically and thematically consistent? Surely, Nolan could have at least tried for that?

Again, multiple other characters in the trailer who are of the same status level, time period, and culture, but no consistency.

Egger’s The Northman was an equally mythologically interlaced tale, but you don’t see any vacuformed plastic there, do you?

I read an interview with Nolan where he said that because he’s red / green colorblind, he deliberately color grades his films to desaturate those colors and make the final result more accurate to what he sees.

Doesn’t change the fact that bronze/ heavily pigmented ancient Greece is a horrible choice for such a treatment, but still interesting why he does it.

It’s just so obviously a vacuformed plastic shell that doesn’t fit the actor that’s wearing it. Has no visual relation to any of the other armor styles in the film, despite supposedly being from the same culture, time period, and status level.

He looks like a futurized, Coppola’s Megalopolis interpretation of classical armor.

…okay.

Well, have fun with…whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish.

“Stop replying to my public comments on a social media platform!”

…seriously?

When the Rus founded Kyiv, did they do so because they were racist against the Slavs or because they wanted a trade route on the Dnipr?

When the Phoenicians settled in Carthage, was it racism or did they want to control trade access to the Mediterranean?

When Hrolfr settled in Normandy, was he racist against the Franks? Why then, did he immediately marry a Frank and join their kingdom under their laws?

Founded only 5 years after the Council of Nicea in 330 AD. Prosecution of Christianity in the Roman Empire under Emperor Constantine had only ended 12 years before, with the Edict of Milan decriminalizing open worship of Christ.

He didn’t say colonialism. He said racism.

Don’t move the goalposts. This isn’t defending the point, its making the whole argument look bad by deflection.

Explain how.

It’s a Swahili translation of the Lord’s Prayer, arranged and translated by a native speaker, arranged as traditional African music (which the composer studied academically), and performed by a choir made up of native speakers.

And it won a Grammy (the first piece of game music to do so).

I’d say it celebrates a cultural corner of the world. Why do you say its racist?

Sorry, but I’m not doing this with you.

You can derail conversations into circular arguments all you want. I did what I wanted: you look like a raving idiot and I provided clear sources.

Anything else just serves your agenda and muddies the waters. You, of course, will claim the usual bad-faith argument victory, but I don’t give a shit.

I’ll see you on the next propaganda post, where I’ll have even more articles and UN security reports that you’re unable to disprove.

If there’s zero evidence, it should be easy for you to prove the accusation wrong. So far, you haven’t offered a shred of proof for your side of the argument.

I’m waiting.
