The Odyssey Isn't a Win For DEI...It's a RETREAT in Disguise | Here's My Hypothesis as to WHY (Doomcock)

The Odyssey has been slammed since the early trailers as a DEI nightmare, and whatever success it has had so far has been framed as a win for The Agenda...but if you take a step back, dismiss previous impressions and actually analyze the big picture? It gets a lot more complicated, and what we assumed was a win all along...looks more like a retreat...



Apparently the film wasn't very woke, it was just extremely average. Is part of the reason the film did well, outside of the fact that Nolan directed it, is because it largely follows normal conventions? Other commentators have pointed out that if you know the character of Odysseus, what you get on screen is not really him - something ordinary movie goers would not realise.  They'd just judge the film on its overall ability to tell a good story.
