Could the Telmarine defeat Jadis army?

If you set her aside and she sends general Otmin and Ginarrbrik to lead her 15k creatures of all sort against Miraz's 10k soldiers and 800 of them are cavalry. Could the Telmarines with their trebuchets lay siege of the incoming beast army before going all out on them?

Will we get a directors cut for The Odyssey home release?

Apparantly they filmed many stuff that were cut from the theatrical release. Do you think Nolan could add unreleased finished footages for the home release?

Anyone wish Carl was a T-850 in Dark Fate?

Yeah the T-800 has successfully beaten all the advanced models through out the franchise but it always looses limbs and gets badly damaged. The 850 chassis seems to be the strongest we have seen. Even stronger than the T-X. DF will always be a bad stain in the franchise in my eyes, but having Carl be a 850 would be interesting to in his fight against the Rev-9. Wouldn't have made the film a masterpiece but the fight between the two models would last much longer that Carl wouldn't need Grace and Sarah for help.

Bringing back prehistoric whales

Are there any ways we can manipulate a certain modern whale species through genetics to shape it like the Basilosaurus? I know what I'm asking is so unethical but I would have liked to see that marine mammals back again.

Was the guardian boss in Doom 3 based off the Baron of Hell?

I see some similarities with the horns and horse feets. All though the guardian are very hunchbacked. Wished the Baron of Hell was a enemy in Doom 3. Using the Hell Knight as the base for it with a few tweaks here and there.

Lantern scores are great with critics and audience. DC back on track

So now if Clayface is hopefully good, then I guess we could say Supergirl was just ''one bad day at the office'' so to speak.

I disagree with this one criticism point against Burn

Seen some folks say Burn is full of modern horror cliche like the countless of demon possession clones we have gotten for years(Exorcist rinse and repeat). I disagree. Unlike those movies which I'm so tired of, Evil Dead actually shows you the real demon form which I feel are lacking in modern horror movies. Modern horror films mostly never show you the demon possessing humans. In rise we got that bodies spider thing and in Burn, we see a burning skeleton demon form which I find actually pretty cool.

Do you think this version of Agamemnon is a decent fighter?

I'm not expecting Achilles or Odysseus level of skills, but he can't be worse than Telemachus? He has a lean body so I would guess he is fast fighter?

Will there be dubbed versions when the movie hits streaming?

For people who are put off by the american accent, maybe hearing spanish or italian dubbed may be a better solution?

Galadriel should use more of her magic powers than physical fight

Now that she has Nenya, she doesn't need to continue with ''Legolas'' fighting style. She should use the magic of Nenya to fight. Based from the season 3 trailer, she still has her sword so we are not there yet. But I hope in season 4, she would be using more of Nenya's power and less sword fighting. And btw, the trailer has finally reached 1 million views.

Deepstar 4000 mystery fish is likely this species

The Yokozuna Slickhead. The biggest ever recorded is 8 feet(2.5 meters)which is still large to be a deep sea fish. But what Thompson saw is what I believe is a rare individual slickhead that grew twice the size of the biggest recorded. 16-17 feet rare gigantism fish. He probably overestimated the size way too much. Or he could have made this up, but I rather believe that he saw a something. A 16 feet long fish would seem very large when the view is is not that great from the submarine.

What if Agamemnon and Menelaus took the southernly wind route?

I don't know how good of a fighter Agamemnon and his brother are, but let's for the sake say they are equal in strength like Odysseus. Maybe Menelaus was more of a maniac style fighting.

Their fleet were larger, 10 ships I think. That means more men. So let's start after they ravage the village where the villagers all left except for that old man warning them not to go west. But they don't care and goes west.

  1. How would Agamemnon handle Polyphemus? I guess he wouldn't go by himself and just send a small scout team to check it out?

  2. Could Agamemnons pride and ego have gone an all out assault on the armored giants? He hates to lose so if they got driven back by their first encounter, would he and his brother just sail back again and try to fight them once more?

  3. Would they be easily ensnared by Circe?

4 and 5. How would they handle Charybdis and Scylla if they managed to not become pigs all of them by Circe?

  1. Would Agamemnon be the only one alive and live with Calypso forever?

I wished EA had one more intergalactic war with their post-Minbari war technology

The closest one Earth had was the Akdor operation. But I wished Earth came into conflict with one of the League races over a territory dispute. Just to see how powerful Earth's weapons really are. The Streib could have been expanded on. Perhaps if the show had been given more budget, they could had a few episodes where B5 been used as operation base for incoming Omegas going to fight the Streib?

Edit: Not intergalactic war but a space war against another alien race.

The trust between Odysseus and his men

Did it started to crack after he shot Polyphemus? Before the cyclops, they did find land and ravage that village for supplies. So would they still be loyal 100% if he didn't shoot Polyphemus? Because they cannot fault him for not knowing the cave was inhabited by a 50 feet tall one eyed monster that eats human flesh.

I find the Laestrygonians the most terrifying out of all the encounters

Polephymus was otherworldly horror especially his appearance and scream. But for me the Laestrygonians was the deadliest and most brutal. They give a shining good knights coming to the rescue vibe but it was the opposite. They just came and wiped out everything in their sight. No negotiation. Just mass slaughter. There were nothing the greeks could do to stop them. This is the first time we see them in any live-action adaptation and boy they didn't dissappoint!

The knife attack incident in HK has sparked a lot of attention in Europe and US

The guy that apparently was from Bangladesh and seems to be radicalized by ISIS that went on a stamping rampage against citizens and security guards has been discussed alot by mostly right wingers in Europe and America. They ask why China act so weak against the terrorist. If anyone saw the video, the security guards struggles to handle him, but aren't many of those very old people and don't have the proper training handling a situation like that? If that were to happen in the mainland, I'm quite sure the police would take him out very quickly. But yes the right wings are painting a picture that extreme islamism is stronger than China and nothing can stop it by this incident.

I just finished reading Gareth Hinds The Odyssey graphic novel

And surprise, I found many of the stuff he wrote is similar to Nolan's Odyssey. Scylla and Charybdis are not so different how they were designed in the movie. Polyphemus was more muscular, but he kind of looked like the movie version. Some of the narratives are close enough. The parts that were left out in the film like The Phaeacians and Aeolus the wind deity are something that I imagine in my head the movie Odysseus did visit during his way home from Calypso, but just left out of the cutting floor(lol). Telemachus letting the stranger in the beginning of the film could be easily Athena in disguise like how the novel portrayed a long veteran that Athena took the shape off. The Underworld stuff is a bit similar with the dead drinking the blood from the sacrificed goat to able to communicate.

It's a damn good novel. Thanks for the people at r/OdysseyFilm that suggested this to me!

Do you think Universal would be interested in having a comicbook version of the film? Flesh out more of Troy, Agamemnon, Helen, Laestrygonians, different design of Scylla and Charybdis for example?

Were the Mycenaean better fighters than Odysseus's Ithaca soldiers?

Agamemnon and his troops appears like elite fighters. So were the Mycenaean better and skilled fighter than other greeks?

We will travel beyond our solar system one day

But I don't think it will be like in science fiction with warp drive or hyperspace technologies. As far as we know, nothing can go beyond the speed of light. However, we can reach a certain percentage of the speed of light. No more than 5%, but more than fast enough to reach our closest star within a human lifespan(est.85 years). If we managed to engineer something that goes with that speed, it would be one of the greatest achievement in human history. Just think about how far a light year is. It's beyond our comprehension.
