He should have instead go for a futuristic adaptation of the Odyssey and that would have made more sense.
That would work too. He really seems to like the Astartes after all. The point is, he made so many errors in this.
Why would anyone buy that?
You guys talking about these?
Maybe he didn't want a comparison to Brana's and Pitt's Troy movie.
That doesn't make any sense. It has been decades since then. Making a diverse version of the Iliad is still far more sensible. Not to mention it is a more realistic story.
It's been 22 years, but people still remember it well. It's become a bit of a classic.
True but it wasn't all that faithful to the source material. They could go that route. And, again, it was more realistic apart from the occasional god or the kaiju battle. In the Odyssey, there were monsters, gods, witches etc etc. Also, most people like the old miniseries of the Odyssey as well.
He was supposed to direct Troy originally, but got put on Batman Begins instead. I suspect "The Odyssey" is going to be at least partially retreading the Iliad to show what his version of "Troy" would've been like.
Why doesn't he just adapt some ancient literature written by African women?
Still, that doesn't explain shit. He should have tried again with the Iliad. He could fill it with both Africans and warrior women. He took a work that doesn't fit his sensibilities and tries to make an elephant pass through a keyhole.
Because, like all woke, he doesn't really care about people. He just wants to virtue signal.
Might just be because half of their folklore is about war against other tribes, enslaving them and raping their women?
Seriously, we know what instruments they used. What are they going on about? They invent reasons to call this movie authentic.
Hollywood gets hard everytime they get the chance to shit on something, why be accurate adapting something when they can shit all over it and call the people who complain racists and bigots?
