What the fuck don't you understand about the FACT that ancient Greeks were pre-khan Russians. They were White af.
@Humpleupagus @mushroom_soup @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @adequate A lot of clergy in the Diaspora look like this guy - blue eyes and all
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @adequate Yes the notoriously ethnically pure diaspora
@mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @adequate The clergy tend to have stronger ethnic ties; there are plenty of brown eyes and swarthier types but it makes sense considering the demands it places on married couples.
Bishops in both Greece and the Diaspora are even moreso - as the likelihood is higher that both parents are ethnic Greeks
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @adequate So that you're saying is that ethnic greeks could potentially many different appearance?
No. He's saying that ancient Greeks would have been White and any "browning" was the result on later interbreeding.

@Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate God's least brown ancient race
If i didnt know you were serious you could be a Jeff tier troll. But this is a niggerbrained take. Not even art history teachers pretend they were brown because they understand the limitations of pigments.
@Xenophon @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate You're going to lose your shit when you learn that the ancient Greeks sometimes depicted themselves with pure black skin
@mushroom_soup @Xenophon @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate i dunno, if you asked me it looks a lot like he's wearing armor, cuz the white around his eyes, also the skin tone of the people around him, and yes a mask.
@mushroom_soup @reallyangry @Xenophon @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @adequate Oh shit, this pottery proves conclusively that Ancient Greek men sought sheboon wives and formed racially diverse military units comprised of foreigners and half-breeds; how could I have failed to see it in my four decades of familiarity with the subject ? Nolan clearly got it right and we’re all just a bunch of racist hillbillies. What a great movie to set the record straight ! I’m sure Homer would bestow many kisses and blessings upon him 😂
I actually did this in Art class in high school. Everyone was a nigger then.
The funniest part is that mushroom soup argument is the no self-respecting White person would portray themselves as black in color in an artwork.
@Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate @mushroom_soup "can't use black paint we're not black LOL"
@reallyangry @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate explaining to an american that the only races aren't 'white (like me)' and 'bantu black african'
@mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate what does that evne mean? describe to me in more depth what your'e trying to say.
Does she mean White like me or White like you?
@Humpleupagus @reallyangry @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate white like the european claiming med ancestry
You are talking to a nigger. Please tell me all about my people and how nigger-fied they are.

I think it's entirely reasonable to be upset at the bastardization of your history by Hollywood. You know where you are, right?

@matty @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate @graf @reallyangry you know that the spongebob squarepants movie was an adaption of the odyssey right
I have not watched either of them so I don't know if this is an attempt at sass or if you're being genuine.
@matty @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate @graf @reallyangry Idk how to tell you this but the SpongeBob movie a loose but obvious adaptation of the Odyssey
Did you know Scooby-Doo is a loose adaptation of Sherlock Holmes?
Did you know Lord of the Rings is a loose adaptation of the Hero's Journey?
@Dagnar @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @matty @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate @graf @reallyangry the spongebob movie has the lotus eaters, the sirens, the bag of winds (given to the hero by his patron goddess) and a cyclops. it's a much more obvious adaptation than them both just being hero journeys
@mushroom_soup @Dagnar @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry So what you’re saying is a SpongeBob episode is more faithful to Homer’s original, than Nolan’s concoction. Good to know 
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Dagnar @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry I don't think this is what homer was envisioning, no
@mushroom_soup @Dagnar @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry Of course the idea of adapting an ancient narrative into an entirely different contemporary narrative paradigm is one of those things entirely beyond a woman‘s ability to grasp. Keep this up I might actually start to think you’re female 😂
jews were always farming the Bible for tv show plots back in the 50s and 60s
"jews were always farming the Bible for tv show plots back in the 50s and 60s"
You may or may not remember this, but it was FUNNY AF. To me back then anyway...these are a couple of the most talented jews in entertainment of all time.
Just sayin'...obviously, Carl's son was a huge POS. Remember when politics was rarely injected into entertainment? I do. The world was a better place back then.

I'll give Mel Brooks this: he was never truly subversive as a rule. He took shots at jews as much as he did anyone else, and never really made anyone look that bad.
Also, he made Nazis fun and engaging, which was weird.

@UnCL3 @Dagnar @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @matty @KingOfWhiteAmerica @graf @mushroom_soup @reallyangry Coen Bros retelling of The Odyssey was a fine one IMO
@adequate @UnCL3 @Dagnar @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Xenophon @matty @KingOfWhiteAmerica @graf @mushroom_soup @reallyangry >we’re in a tight spot
I don't know if people are ready for this conversation, but Spaceballs was a loosely based adaptation of Star Wars.
Was the sponge Bob movie called "The Oddessy"? If not, another woman moment.
@Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate @graf @reallyangry wait until you hear about o brother where art thou
wait until you hear about what adaptations are.
@Xenophon @mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry The fact she had to resort to pretending not to understand any of this is sufficient proof to me of buyer’s remorse
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Xenophon @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry i understand what an adaption is. you're the ones who are saying that any retelling of the stories must be 'pure' to homer's original poems
Ship of theseus. My car is now a tank, and therefore, still street legal.
@Humpleupagus @mushroom_soup @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry Seriously, if they’d have called it something like The OddOdyssey for instance, I’d have been less critical. But they’re cashing in on the name while dishonoring the source material and insulting our ancestral legacy.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry why would they call it something else when it's a faithful adaptation of the odyssey?
@mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry Indeed, you asked/answered your own point/question. I’m not the one that has to live with having paid money to see that.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry i'm not sad for paying money to see a good movie
> "Good"
Another adjective for the win. I'm convinced now.

@Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate @graf @reallyangry yes, when you're describing the quality of something you're using objectives, good job
It's not an argument. You're being emotional. take a midol, honey.
@Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @KingOfWhiteAmerica @adequate @graf @reallyangry whether you like or don't like something, or consider it quality or not quality is literally objective, do you not know how opinions work

@Humpleupagus @mushroom_soup @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry I didn’t get scammed and robbed as long as I convince myself it’s what I wanted the whole time.
It’s a lot like Stockholm Syndrome
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry i have seen bad movies in theaters and have no problem admitting that when i do in fact think they're bad
@mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry Sure sure; and I also think anybody that doesn’t validate my internal Stockholm Narrative is dumb racist hillbillies
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry why would i be afraid to admit i don't like a movie on a site where i'm guessing most people don't like that movie when i've never in the past been afraid to admit i don't like a movie
@mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry That’s not really got anything to do with what I said so 🤷🏻♂️
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry you're working under the impression that it's impossible for me to have genuinely liked the movie and therefore what i feel must be something akin to Stockholm syndrome. i'm telling you that there's no reason i would hesitate to say if i had disliked the movie. i know it's hard to believe that someone might have a different opinion on something than you do but do at least try, 'everyone actually agrees with all my opinions and the ones that say they don't are actually lying!' is such a boorish position to hold
People are generally bad at self-assessment.
@mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @penguin @DMA @Dagnar @Xenophon @matty @adequate @graf @reallyangry Well I guess some people make themselves happy with the bill-of-goods they bought from crooks, by convincing themselves it was ackshually really good. Not my wife not my problem 
> "Faithful"
Gotta love the bullshit adjectives, as if it strengthens a position. It doesn't. It's juvenile and immature.

any retelling of The Odyssey must honor the source material

>i understand what an adaption is.
I don't think you know you do. Adaptations do not pretend to be the original source material, hence the root "adapt" in the word. An adaption can be fake and gay and bad, because that's the entire point.
>I want to imagine this old work outside of the social conventions of the time. I want there to be queers and blacks and I want White people to be the villains.
Okay. Sounds like a shit story. But it isn't pretending like the original author believed things they clearly did not. It isn't forcing us to watch certain people act a roll to push the directors agenda on us, while pretending it's because those people are somehow uniquely qualified to read a line.
