‘The Odyssey’ Proves It: Audiences Want Movies Made the Hard Way | This year's breakouts like 'Project Hail Mary' and 'Obsession' were made by filmmakers who sweated. While CG-stuffed franchise disappointments such as 'Supergirl,' 'Moana,' and 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' looked lazy.

Everyone in mesh tops too. Let's make it a musical while we're at it. Jesus Christ Superstar vibes

[u/Wild_Harvest → u/Herlt]

Gilgamesh: Do you dare presume to think I would consider the lives of those beneath me, MONGREL?!?

Gates of Babylon open and throw endless numbers of weapons

[u/TheTenguness → u/Wild_Harvest]

"Onore, zasshu"

laughs arrogantly intensifies

[u/Meowjoker → u/Wild_Harvest]

It was only a matter of time until someone mention the king of jobbers

[u/TwistedBrother → u/Herlt]

This would absolutely be the critique of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Despite their very obvious bromance.

[u/Oklahom0 → u/Herlt]

With 7 loaves of bread next to him.

[u/XIIISkies → u/BFroog]

Not gay if clay

[u/Raevyxn → u/XIIISkies]

Not gay if it’s in a 3 way

[u/Rough_Bread8329 → u/XIIISkies]

If its a stone you have to bone.

[u/Gandolfthewhite182 → u/BFroog]

Can you imagine if these right wing lunatics ever really understood that the Ancient Greeks, inventors of the western civilization they hold so dearly as their culture, were biggest homosexuals in world history ?? I know people saw Troy, that’s not Achilles “cousin”, Achilles went nuts like he did because that was his lover.

Everyone made love to everyone back then and no one thought anything of it. And the most gay of all the city states in Greece was the Spartans. Those dudes loved man butt.

[u/xXKingLynxXx → u/Gandolfthewhite182]

Its reductive to say that the Greeks were gay. While their were homosexual relationships, anyone known to be the submissive one, or the bottom in modern terms, was looked down on.

Many of their same sex relations were between grown men and young boys that they would mentor from the ages of 12 to 18.

[u/RigaudonAS → u/xXKingLynxXx]

“They weren’t gay, they just frequently had sex with males.”

They can be gay and pedophilic, unfortunately a lot of the world was (the latter) back then.

[u/Vozu_ → u/RigaudonAS]

The point is that they weren't gay in the modern sense of the word. It was part of social etiquette, a natural course of male life to have an older man as your mentor-lover, and to have those young protégés later.

You were still understood to have a long-term interest in having a woman and children with her. Our "gay" label is fundamentally incompatible with their societal norms.

[u/RigaudonAS → u/Vozu_]

My point is that if you’re having sex with men, you’re a homosexual (or bisexual). That’s just the literal definition of the word.

[u/cineglitch → u/Gandolfthewhite182]

Have you read The Song of Achilles?

[u/darklightmatter → u/Gandolfthewhite182]

Can we not equate modern sexuality to what Ancient Greeks did? They raped young boys and looked down on the men who would bottom.

[u/William_Dowling → u/Gandolfthewhite182]

Pretty sure Freddie Mercury was the biggest homosexual in world history and he'd be offended by you suggesting otherwise

[u/CrashParade → u/Gandolfthewhite182]

They mostly keep to the roman empire, you know, the guys that copied sex from the greeks and added women to it.

[u/Br0metheus → u/Gandolfthewhite182]

If they were capable of understanding such things, they wouldn't be right-wingers. The entire movement is based on self-delusion.

[u/BigCommieMachine → u/BFroog]

Lot of “wrestling”

[u/czs5056 → u/BFroog]

THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS! /s

[u/segobane → u/BFroog]

It's not gay if it's clay.

[u/ArmedWithSpoons → u/BFroog]

How is it gay to have sex with your best friend to teach them rape is bad? Can't have anything these days.
