On one hand, I agree that you can stop and think about real life circumstances or ideas while reading/watching fiction but I would not try to blur the line between fiction and nonfiction, especially with how prevalent (or vocal) it seems like it’s become for people to treat characters as projections of themselves or like they’re real people that you can be “mean” to or “harm”.

And just to clarify, I blacked out the user’s name because I disagree with the things I said in this post but I dunno this individual at all, I dunno how they are actually presenting these ideas to students, and nothing I’m saying has anything to do with them, personally.

If anyone wants to find the tweet and give it a like or comment their thoughts on it, this won’t stop them and I’m not trying to. Do what you want and as long as you are making ad hominem attacks on the user, anyone who disagrees with this stance, etc., I think interacting is fine and well. Just don’t want this post to be associated with the specific account that posted it.

Chuds are trying to have a laugh at the player count yet the game still has thousands of players!!! And may I remind you that a new Spider-Man movie just released?!

Of course the player count is going to go down when everyone is outside mowing the lawn, going to work, too tired from the summer heat to blast on Marathon, AND seeing the new Spider-Man movie! CONTEXT MATTERS!!!

I’m still having a mutha fuckin’ blast, dammit!

If Nolan had actually locked in then maybe The Odyssey could’ve reached the same heights as The Woman King.

For comparison:

The Odyssey has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s objectively better than The Fellowship of the Ring (95%), but it pales next to the GOAT herself, The Woman King, at 99%!

The Odyssey has a cinema score of A but again Nolan couldn’t reach that same level of quality as The Woman King that got an A+! The highest cinema score that ANY film can achieve!

Nolan bros just don’t understand how aggregates work. The aggregates have spoken and The Odyssey just wasn’t able to hit those same heights as The Woman King, the movie everyone universally lauds as one of the greatest ever made.

For those who don't know, Gail is a long-time writer who's worked on Wonder Woman, Bat Girl, The Flash, and JLA among many, many other titles for both DC and Marvel.

She's extremely knowledgeable about the source material and also a generally fun follow on BlueSky.

Personally, I haven't gotten to see the movie yet, but I'm willing to take Gail's word on this one.
