Quick thing:   I am not going to be around for a bit. Non-Board Personal issues, and I need some time. I will get the emojis up for next weekend, and run the Cas of the Cas Games (Sign Up For Them! Play the Change). If you need anything big, PM me. Otherwise @XXR You Ok Annie and @ZeeSoh and @Eric Crowe got this covered.

MODERATION:   Since we have like 3500 MCU threads, I’m just gonna post this here in hopes that everyone sees it, so that I don’t have to post it like 3500 times individually and spam all the threads:   When you’re talking about the MCU, please make sure that you’re talking specifically about that title in that thread. I.e; Dr Strange Thread is for Dr Strange.    And if you want to reference any other property, especially if it isn’t out yet, please use the spoiler t

The writer for Pacific Rim 2 stated on Twitter that Homer’s Odyssey was a bad story that is only revered because we look fondly on old stories by white people. 

 

Is she telling the truth, do people consider it a bad story today? Or she is just talking shit? 

 

That bitch

^^ I guess that’s her opinion? Doesn’t make it right or wrong beyond just her opinion. It does seem to be popular enough to have survived thousands of years at least. 

You call that an opinion, really ?

You perfectly  know what it is.

There's always conspiracy theories about world leaders trying to reduce world population by creating diseases, viruses and stuff. But isn't it better to have more people, and people living longer, because that's more people working, producing, and consuming? Don't powerful people make more money with more people on Earth? Are conspiracy theorists implying powerful people are worried about the environment? LMAO.

Did she study something related to history, classic writing,.... in combination to ~ social studies? (rhetorical question).

Did she read it in the original version (mean did she study the language and has a real comprehension of it) or did she read some strange or good, actual or outdated,... translation, a summary or whatever?

Bcs to me it sounds like its a POV by someone who did not really look into the background and 'meaning' of the story, maybe she missed some.

 

Its one of the most adapted source materials of humankind. Here he counts as the first modern character, ~ 'he does not submit to even the gods nor fate, but takes active his life in his own hands'. Be able to give up the ~ given identity to keep his own identity.

 

I think a lot of its details get still used in modern films.

I can't find this tweet (do you have a link?). If it's worded the way you describe, I think she's wrong about why it's revered by others. There's an enormous number of other "old stories by white people" that have been lost to history entirely, or have far less cultural awareness and impact. If I had to guess why, it'd be because they haven't been as well-regarded.

I believe it was a retweet of another person’s tweet.
