With historically accurate cyclops, scylla, charybdis, sirens and ghost of Agamemnon…
Athena and Poseidon have dialogue
Um, the Odyssey is fiction. It literally can’t be “historically accurate”.
It’s a dog whistle for casting only white people and no queer actors. If something has a racist angle, assume that’s the one Musk means
Shh… He’s on katamine. You’re going to ruin his trip.

Like if you look at how most billionaires since the 80s came into being its almost entirely one strategy:
-
start with a decent pile of money
-
Put the money pile on a stock market bet
-
Manipulate the stock price by lying, cheating, stealing or making a popular product.
Elon musk is some kind of idiot-savant in manipulating stock prices and then diverting a maximal amount of money away from material product creation. His “money taken” to “physical product created” ratio is just modestly better than elizabeth holmes.
There is a larger discussion to be had of whether we should allow society to give people that level of power because they’re good at marketing and backroom dealing. Especially since the entire reason we created the entire stock market system was in theory to build more popular products, not to reward skilled stock market manipulators.
Its sort of salt in the wound that the material value of most of elon’s companies and products are largely dwarfed by the amount of money musk has been awarded by the government.
Society would probably have been better served by spinning up state owned electric car factories and state owned satellite delivery systems because we could have gotten all the same benefits for a fraction of the price we paid for it and are continuing to pay for.

Ketamine melted his brain. He was always a loser but not to such an extent.
This has nothing to do with me yet you are insulting me and others who have nothing to do with this. Fuck you, too, if you’re going to be abusive to random strangers.
Life’s gonna be hard if you internalize everything you read and hear as a personal attack. Grow up.
Thank GOD! I HOPE he can do the Same with Avengers so we can FINALLY get a HISTORICALLY Accurate version of THAT too!
I can’t wait to see what a historically accurate cyclops looks like.

Came here looking for a reference to Oh Brother. I call this a win for the day.
Who plays Odysseus? Someone with a beautiful head of hair I hope.
The Odyssey is a work of fiction. It’s a heroic epic, not a history. How do you make a historically accurate version of fictional oral poetry?
I think they mean literally accurate.
Why are we okay with every robin hood movie being an interpretation, but all the sudden the oddesy needs to be historically perfect?
Because racism
And because “ewwww trans person.”
It’s all just so pathetic.
They’d like everyone to look like, I don’t know, Bruce bailaban, Lucy lawless, some third thing, or hells forbid another space commerce gremlin. It’s important for the sex scenes to have the right amounts of nips and penes.
I would not mind everybody looking like Lucy Lawless.
Especially in her Xena days. What a queen.
i dunno. she ages like the finest of wines
Not enough gay sex, I’m guessing?
what next ? historically accurate Star Wars ?
I get what you’re saying, but maybe that’s a bad example. I actually do want them to release a historically accurate version of Star Wars… ie. the version that was released in 1977 in which Han Solo shot first and there wasn’t a bunch of CGI shit all over the place.
Well that exists! Sure not quite officially, but look up project 4K77, you can download that version of Star wars right now (and it’s awesome. I’ve watched all three of them in their most original version)
Yeah I got the despecialized edition and it’s fine. It’s weird that you have to pirate one the most popular movies to be shown in the theater to get what was shown in the theater.
Star wars silver screen edition. Look it up, it’s out there. It’s like a 25 GB download but you can find it.
Bunch of fans got a hold of original film print of the movie and digitized it. No remastering, just the movie as it was presented in 1977.
Han Solo shot
firstonly.Han straight up ended greedo. Bug-eyed bastard never even got a shot off.
Well yeah, Greedo didn’t shoot. Because Han Solo shot first. I don’t think it needs to be stated that Han Solo wouldn’t miss at a range that close.
You don’t need to make en entire fantasy film to show us that historically accurate cyclops, Elon!
And he wants to do it all with AI, of course, because he has even less talent and creativity than a rotting dog turd.
Is this because they made Helen of Troy black
Yes
I have a feeling he wouldn’t wanna hear about Caeneus
The Lapith Caeneus was originally a young woman named Caenis and the favorite of Poseidon, who changed her into a man at her request, and made Caeneus into an invulnerable warrior
I can’t wait to see a historically accurate Polyphemus.
How is this a “threat”? What would be the dire consequences if he did?
“Offers” is the right word here.
Threatens is funnier tho.
You’re right. I missed that. I took this too seriously.
He’s threatening to unleash such trash onto the world.
