[From “The Odyssey”]

Homer’s Odyssey is in large part about women, and about female virtue. And, of course, female wickedness and immorality

Penelope[…]is the archetype of the virtuous wife, Helen[…]and Clytemnestra[…]are archetypes of wicked wives

The Goddess Athena assists Penelope and Odysseus’s son

Calypso and Circe are the wicked seductresses

This extensive representation of women is, of course, profoundly anti feminist, presenting the uncompromising position that women should be chaste and faithful, and that the mistress should not seek to replace the wife

Odysseus represents the classic heroic virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance, which of course Hollywood cannot stand[…]
Predictably and inevitably, Hollywood’s 2026 Odyssey is an attack upon, and inversion of, Homer’s Odyssey

Which brings me to the armor[…]
The elites on the battlefield were literal knights in shining armor. They wore armor like a King wears his crown. Nolan did not like that

Nolan built actual ancient ships. Why not authentic looking armor? I conjecture this is just hatred of Europe[…]He gives Greek warriors ugly armor because he thinks Europe’s warrior tradition of manly heroism is oppression and injustice[…]
Helen of Troy is race swapped to represent the victims of colonialist and imperialist oppression[…]
As the Lord of the Rings movies depicted the Orcs as less than human, this movie depicts you[…]as less than human. The Greek soldiers oppressing Helen of Troy represent you and me oppressing Africa and Africans, enslaving blacks,and oppressing women and gays

In fact, of course, until the European set foot[…]the Africans lived in mud huts and ate each other, and when colonialism fell back, they resumed eating each other in substantial parts of Africa[…]
Hollywood has been losing money by attacking its audience. It will continue to attack its audience and continue to lose money because it hates its audience more than it loves money
