TRUST THE PLAN
Seriously what are those? Someone must have gone through Odyssey and found something that sorta-kinda justifies these?
Completely bereft of joy and mystery. Sora parking lot mp4 scene looks like Excalibur next to this. Everything is so global in its lack of distinction, so ... homogenous.
>>220343225
>>220343161only Indians like nolan,fuck nolanjeets
>>220343161>None of them have shields Gay movie for retarded indians and mutts
>>220343161There is absolute zero weight to any of those characters. Random low budget cartoon has more impactful fights than this.
>>220343161>00:04tree was floating even before he hit it ahhahahahahha it's literally AI sloppp
>>220343161Henry George is arguing that Nolan made it bad on purpose, as a joke.
>>220343161Isn't this supposed to be set in the bronze age?
>>220343268I think Nolan really loved DUNC and wanted to make his own.
>>220343161I expected it to look bad based on the early promos but this is somehow even worse.
>>220343324No it doesn't. You're just a uppity blind retard.
>>220343161I'll wait for the webms.
>>220343161Nolan cannot film fight/battle scenes to save his fucking life.
>>220343225In Greek mythology, the Laestrygonians were a tribe of man-eating giants. They were said to have sprung from Laestrygon, son of Poseidon. Odysseus, the main character of Homer's Odyssey, visited them during his journey back home to Ithaca. The giants ate many of Odysseus's men and destroyed eleven of his twelve ships by launching rocks from high cliffs. Odysseus's ship was not destroyed because it was hidden in a cove near shore.
>>220343379even if it doesn't, the tree shouldn't react like that. might be a bad practical effect
>>220343371they need to build just a few more datacentres and the ai will understand how a tree breaks
pure unadulterated slop
>>220343392The swat fight in TDK and the sewer fight in TDKR were fun.
>>220343379even if it wasn't that's not how tree works retard they don't jus snap in half , it's jeet tier visuals
Nolankino is back on the menu boys.
>>220343407Based scholar
>>220343161Why do none of them have shields?Why are none of them in any sort of battle formation?Why is the one guy who gets yeeted just standing there doing nothing?Aren't all these guys supposed to be beyond battle hardened because of the Trojan War?
>>220343407Ok but why are they wearing plate armor with 15th century helmets? Those aren't even proper giants.
>>220343469nolan has lost his mind he's riding on highhorse after normies loved him for a slopper that poopenheimer is
>>220343379I just kept replaying that moment to see if somethings wrong and nothing popped out. Anon I'd talking out of his ass.
>>220343161That's just a silver Stormcast
>>220343479Because Nolan is a midwit hack and thinks a "grounded realistic" Odyssey is better
>>220343469>Why are none of them in any sort of battle formation?Because they weren't expecting a battle. It's clearly a surprise. The same reason for not having shields.>Why is the one guy who gets yeeted just standing there doing nothing?He lying on the ground not standing.
>>220343479The force that attacked Odysseus is described as a mixture of giant and very large men, so they must be small giants. Achilles' armor was forged by Hephaestion and is supposedly being worn by Agamemnon in the trailer - maybe that's why it looks like Power Rangers armor or was made by aliens. A tribe of giants who are the offspring of Poseidon's demigod son could also be wearing similar kind of armor.
>>220343538There's nothing grounded about this bro. This is a fantasy adaptation of a fantasy epic with modern design. Our era's Excalibur if the people in charge of Excalibur were morons.
>>220343500It was an alright film but that explosion was fucking awful what the fuck was he thinking.
>>220343732They didn't have machined plate mail in ancient Camelot!
Finally, Nolan makes a bad film...
The setting evokes no joy. It looks like some nondescript boring forest 5 minutes outside of town where some fat chick would take shitty fantasy cosplay pics. Just so boring
>>220343562>Because they weren't expecting a battlenot just battle formation, but marching formation. they should be in a line or a group, but they're just spread out.
>>220343225they're big guys
>>220343161Why did they cast this mouthbreather as Odysseus.
>>220343479because it’s Nolans interruption of the story. This is a fantasy story with fantastical elements and Nolan is obviously making bold choices with the casting and things like armour and design
>>220343161
>>220343562>Because they weren't expecting a battle. It's clearly a surprise.There's a slow moving group of oafs in plate armor heading their way.Why is everyone standing like startled herbivores?
>>220344355It's a dense forest. Not exactly amenable to formations.
>>220343161What kind of twist would make any of this goofy shit okay?
>>220344612The trailers are fake ai.
>>220343479Redditors making the most banal criticisms like “Vikings didn’t have horned helmets!” is such midwittery.
>>220344592it's not. there's like 12 feet between the trees. roman soldiers walked through woodland like that in formation.
>>220343407>raid some village thinking its peasants since like all greekoids Odysseus was a glorified pirate>get BTFO by proto-Roman chads wearing futuristic armor who also torpedo your ships>"t-they were like giants or something, sprang from poseidon's head, bro"odysseus was the first /k/oper
>>220344733Romans being more organized than Mycenean Greeks isn’t surprising.
>>220344776everything they do was learned from greeks
>>220344639yes, and?
>>220344806The later Greeks whose tactics we know of.
>>220343225I thought they were supposed to be those automaton soldiers from Age of Mythology
>>220345029the oldest armies we know of had formations. it'd be pretty strange that myceneans didn't know of it since they learned from them.
>>220345176I am not saying the Myceneans had no formation at all. Just that they weren't likely in formation all the time.
>>220343562>go to strange new land>just leave that protection behind because we don't know what's here lol
>>220345327The Odyssey itself already has sci-fi shit in it, Robots dogs and a self driving boat
>>220345268which is strange because the military is all about order and discipline. soldiers just walking around freely like that is very odd.
>>220345513Hollywood doesn't distinguish between a "warrior" and a "soldier"
>>220345513That's the problem with these battle scenes, they're always set up in such a way where the 1 or 2 really soldiers get to run up front and show off their skill and strength while all the other soldiers just linger in the background observing them and going "what a fucking badass"
>>220343295fpbp
>>220345549i know. there should be a balance between realism and entertainment. this is way too hollywood for me.
>>220343161My theory is that Nolan was given millions by some streaming service to make dogshit and expedite the death of theaters.
>>220345593>*1 or 2 really good soldiers
>>220343225Ciconians.
>>220345176even chimps walk in a line. that shit is just natural to us.
>>220343161> The plan?> It's lit.
>>220343161>tree snaps clean in half, no splintering or anythingso cheap. indians were here.
>>220343161I wasn't expecting this garbage from Nolan.Living and learning.Trust no one but God.
Mutts will eat it up and ask for more, this is their ruling class btw
>>220343161why would they put this in their trailer?You'd think this 4 hour movie would have plenty of shots to choose from and they choose this
>>220346556fucking what lol
>>220343562>they weren't expecting a battle. It's clearly a surprise. The same reason for not having shields.and yet they still chose to wear their breastplates, helmets and bracers that are inexplicably ubiquitous in all trash ancient/medieval settings? odd for people not expecting any trouble.
>>220343479Because it's a stylistic anachronism and not a narrative one. It's merely conveying some grand mysticism around this crazy tribe of giant maneaters that destroy Odysseus' men. You have to remember, Odysseus is recounting his journey to a group of people. These scenes are actually flashbacks, not live. And Odysseus is the only survivor. There is no one there to fact check or corroborate. So of course, Odysseus, the man of twists and turns and cunning, embellishes his story a bit. Instead of being beaten back by men in cloth, they were giants with huge armor that his men had no hope against, and this is again embellished by Nolan who made their armor even more impenetrable. It's all good fun, mate.
>>220345176bro, i'm not going to lie, this is the stupidest criticism i've seen yet to nitpick on lmfao you sound like a loser
>>220346556Who's ruling class you esl mutt? Are hus products not sold internationally? Don't try an act superior when you're too embarrassed to even name your country lmao
this kinda shows how uneducated we are, because ... you know... it should vaguely have some connection to bronze age. Its bronze age. Bronze. He's walking in something that... looks like carbon... or kevlar... theyre not even trying because who cares
>>220347246If Nolan did go with it, everyone would be making flower pot jokes
>>220347205What's with the armor? Looks like marvel capeshit
>>220347205what's the point of the skirt armor if their thighs are already protected?
>>220347388i doubt they were sailing and walking with that
>>220347388>lets make a story that takes place in the past!>erm actually the past is kinda cringe.
>>220347451>lets make a story about a famous greek myth>oh my, that's incredibly sexist, that's so racist....*looks at viewer* Ancient Greece sucked
>>220343161>Ok I hit you>Now it's your turnWhy does like 99% of media fucking do this, it's utterly retarded
>>220347593yeah, most fights in fiction come off as a turn based battle being played out in real time
>>220347593Too many stunt directors grew up playing JRPG's and think that's how fights go.
>>220343161I'm investing everything in Nolancoins.
>>220343161You see giants a thousand yards away how the FUCK do you let them catch up to you and hit you? What the FUCK do they teleport?
>>220343161An army of big guys
>>220347823Perhaps getting caught was part of their plan
>>220347966Now what's the next step of their master plan?
>>220343161Shit look tacky, classless and cheap. I was already bummed out about the negress they hired to play helene. Simply not going to watch this soulless slop
>>220343161truly embarrassing
>>220347593>He hasn't read the Iliad
>>220346556Elon is actually an adhd riddled retard isn't he?
>>220347205this looks like ai, lmfao.
>here's your hollywood blockbusterjesus, even oppenheimer had bigger promotional momentum and that was just a three hour courtroom drama
>>220343479Shits magic nigga aint gotta xsplain shitZues wore plate armor so why the fuck not, these niggas got kitted up by posedion
>>220343416>>220343415Did it break intentionally or was it just rendered wrong the body passed the center?
>>220345549Weird how jews don't understand physical combat
>>220345095That's Atlantean tech doe
>>220348308Alot of illiad fights do unironically play out like anime fights>*gives his entire backstory* Now taste my Spear! *throws spear*>*dodges it* haha, you missed, what a weak and feeble throw, now it's time for me to end you!This is an average fighting exchange in the poem
>>220343161Just light them on fire, fucking retards
>>220348683they spent on the line up and hope that makes up for marketing
>>220343273None of these zoomers even know who this is.
Looks like a Dr Who episode
>>220343161After it releases I will make threads every day for the doubters to apologize in. B R A V ORAVO
>>220343161HE DIDN'T FLY SO GOOD WHO WANTS TO TRY NEXT
>>220345729when I go to the grocery store I pick someone who looks like they know what they're doing and follow them about 30 feet behind down the aislesdon't get the same things as them, but why do the navigation myself when someone else leads the way?
>>220343161>that throw into the treeHoly fuck it looks terrible. This slop probably cost $250 millies. Wowee.
>>220343416haha
>>220343407thanks ai posting anon
>>220349495>>220349536how hard would you have to throw a man to instantly crack a tree in half? I feel like the man would crack in half first
>>220343407How did they even let the retarded tree break get to this point in time, into the trailer? They can "fix" it some more in post? Or they just don't care?
>>220349606>I feel like the man would crack in half firsteither way I bet it would be extremely painful
>>220343425>The swat fight in TDKBoring as fuck.>sewer fight in TDKR were fun.The scene where batman gets his ass beat? Wow fun scene. Nolan sucks.
>>220349606The tree actually jumped out of the way of the manNot sure if the Bravo belongs to Nolan or Jeets
>>220343161This isn't a film you go to the theaters for. This is streamingslop.
>>220343526Stormcast actually look good with a silver paint job
Nolan is a poor action movie director. This will suck super hard.
>>220343407The main problem is that the costumes all look really, really shit. I can overlook historical inaccuracies and not being faithful to the source material because it's a film, you need to compromise. But the designs are Marvel-esque. I get that they were probably going for a fantastic, mythological aesthetic where the armour seems unreal, but it looks too plasticky.
>>220346556>Iliad>Odyssey on cover
Trailer made this seem really fucking boring and the costumes and effects look like ass. But Nolan is a holy cow so it'll sell 3 trillion dollars and everyone will say it's the best adaptation and 1 thousand youtube grifters will make videos on how ackshually it is very faithful
>>220348646have you heard him speak?
>>220349448for everyone to laugh at this muttslop lmao
>>220343161kek. Are those left over Power Ranger armors from the 90s?
>>2203515191.25 speed was just so fast he's already on the odyssey
>>220349448We are gonna meme your threads to death. Nonstop NEW Nolanmemes. It's over, and it hasn't even begun.
>>220343350Of course he did, his ego is too big to go back to Warner Bros and get Hans Zimmer back. Hopefully he wakes the fuck up soon
So they're fighting Titans? Nephilim?
>>220343161this actually shows they are using real stunts so I don't get the problem with this shot specifically
>>220343161>hold the line men if you flee ill kill you myselfWhy did he make his men fight them?
>>220344387For Ulysses.

>>220349606He’d have to be moving like bullet fast, and there’s no way to send a guy flying like that by hitting him with a blade. The blade would just slice straight through him. Even with armor.
>>220347048sounds like a lie my dude

>>220352034yeah but they have big subscriber counts so I have to listen to their criticism because otherwise I don't actually understand what movie culture is and I need to fit in>>220352045
>>220352045Why would someone move like a bullet before crashing into a tree?
>>220343225Poetic license and epic written mythos don't translate into reality without looking ridiculous. Samson killing a thousand men with a donkey's jaw or Hercules wrestling a lion or Greeks fighting Titans might sound cool on paper or look good in still images, but trying to give such scenes movement invariably exposes how fake, gay, and stupid such shit would actually look in real life. It's not helped by directors like Nolan making the whole thing stereotypical weightless capeshit with extras on wires flying off through trees instead of how it would actually look if someone were hit by something akin to a forklift.
>>220349448Just like with Oppenheimer, Tenet and Dunkirk right?
>>220348646I was saying this for years based on seeing him speak but I always got dogpiled by lefties sucking him off until they downloaded the latest patch
>>220352209>but trying to give such scenes movement invariably exposes how fake, gay, and stupid such shit would actually look in real life.We would have to see an honest attempt to know.

>>220343225Hephaestus's unique mythic age myth unit- the Colossus
>>220352334Who are you quoting? Is that a yes or no? Does Greece really look like that?????
>>220345268Formations served myriad purpose. Not only did it offer protection, since even the bravest man would hesitate to charge at a body of 20+ aware men, but it also made communication possible and exerted authority over the men: it was true that, up until ww1, soldiers who were allowed to go off and galavant at their leisure tended to become unruly at best and deserters at worst. Landing on strange shores and advancing inland in a disorganized mob would simply be asking for trouble and a collapse of the army. Even if soldiers who didn't have grudges from the long campaign didn't seize the opportunity such disorganization would present to settle them, or leave, what happens when hostile forces notice and begin to pick them off? What happens if a couple of the men happen upon a Shepard's girl and decide to run a train on her turning the locals against you in the process? What happens if a handful of men find some pig and decide to slaughter it for themselves and then they're found out by their peers creating resentment and mistrust? What happens if the locals approach with a deal the men can't refuse, saying betray your general and give us information or die to our superior numbers? What happens if an enemy appeared at the rear and the force had to retreat or be cut off, how would the commander let his men know to fall back? He would have to abandon the stragglers, wasting manpower.Essentially there was zero chance the army would advance inland in such a sloppy rabble. There's simply too much that could go wrong, too much to lose.Of course such considerations of writing is solely the province of the intelligent who have actual knowledge and interest in the martial arts. Nolan is an idiotic midwit who makes movies for brown people and brainlets.
>>220352361Yes it does, it is the land of gods
>>220343161The Great Wall got a sequel?
>>220343350This. Villeneuve may be the most Nolan-influenced director working today so I can see why Nolan would have liked DUNC.
>>220352242Watch anime. Or amy warhammer cgi animation. Or any jeet movie where there's a regular sized human battling something even just 12-14 feet tall. It will always look ridiculous because men duelling such extraordinary monsters defies belief in anyone besides people who are wholly ignorant of strength and physics. There is simply no way a man - even one with the strength of ten men, is going to successfully fight off a creature 2x his size or larger in a melee duel. Imagine a midget successfully fending off Brock Lesnar or Eddie Hall. It wouldn't matter how athletic they were, or even if they had the same strength as Lesnar or Hall, simple physics dictates the thing that has hundreds of pounds and several feet will win in a one on one fight.The best portrayals of myth are in the old adventure movies like Sinbad or Jason and the Argonauts, where when they met monsters technological limitations stopped the directors from being able to insert fluid fight scenes so the protagonists are always running away from the cyclops or titan or harpies and fighting in groups chucking javelins or firing arrows, because that is realistically the only way humans would hope to stand a chance. Even Hercules knows better than to try and start a capeshit battle with the titan in J&tA.
>>220352606>It will always look ridiculousit always does look ridiculous because everyone follows the same action-fantasy logic and established norms. Noone ever event attempts to make it look believable.

>hmm yes i think i'll adapt the odyssey! a classic tale revered by all!>but i'll use the stupid ass feminist version as my main source!
Why are people surprised when Nolan gave dark knight rises?
>LOTR: Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... ere the sun rises! Ride now!... Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending! Death!>Braveheart: I AM William Wallace. And I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What would you do without freedom? Will you fight? Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!!!>13th Warrior: Lo, There do I see my Father Lo, There do I see my Mother and My Brothers and my Sisters Lo, There do I see the line of my people back to the begining Lo, They do call to me They bid me take my place among them in the halls of Valhalla Where thine enemies have been vanquished Where the brave shall live... Forever >Alexander: The greatest honor a man can ever achieve... is to live with great courage and to die with his countrymen... in battle for his home. I say to you... what every warrior has known since the beginning of time. Conquer your fear... and I promise you, you will conquer death. And someday I vow to you... your sons and your grandsons will look into your eyes. And when they ask why you fought so bravely at Gaugamela... You will answer, with all the strength of your great great hearts: I was here this day at Gaugamela for freedom.... and GLOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY..... of Greece!! ZEUS BE WITH US>the odyssey: let's gooo
>>220347205Is it just me or could this have been greatly improved with some slight variations with the amor?
>>220353070I'm not surprised at all. Adapting this story should be left only to the best of the best directors. Maybe Michael Mann could've done something interesting when he was younger. Ridley would've done a better job too, when younger.
>>220353182Even Robert Eggers would have been better
>>220343161Only Achilles can save us! Look there Xer is!
>>220352221Dunkirk was good anon.>>220353061You really think Dark Knight Rises was better than Dunkirk or the Prestige?
>>220343225The Odyssey was just MCU slop for bronze age people, don't overthink it.
>>220343161ppppppfffffffttttttttt….we live in a world where the biggest most high budget director around… can’t find large people… he found short people to put up against the supposed giants. he found fat short guys to put into the giant armor…literally could have been solved by hiring a handful of football and basketball players who would already be able to take physical direction. if we can’t see their faces then acting is irrelevant.

ain't watched a nolan since TDKR and I sure ain't gonna start with this
>>220353975Nolan is autistic and clearly someone dared him to make more woke movies, so he came up with Tenet (black lead) and this.Bear in mind that in his entire career he never had any prominent black roles or anything related to that. Maybe that Spawn guy in TDK in a bit role, that's it.So they basically dared him into a career suicide like this.

>>220355808
>>220347205Looks like Power Rangers without the soul.
>>220356309They literally did. Please tell us, what is this earliest army that supposedly didn't fight in formations?
>>220347205BRAVO NOLAN
>>220356712The earliest "armies" were literally crowds of men all fighting as individuals under one "banner", brawling. Formations don't exist in brawls. Battles wouldn't be fought between more than a few hundred people at a time to begin with. There would be no group capable of fielding armies big enough to require formations.You're thinking too Greek when much of history was not so civilized.
>>220356309>no, they didn't.no, they did.
>>220354798It’s a Greek story. Details of the story would’ve been written to the extent of Greek knowledge. Shill copium won’t help.
>>220356309Yeah they did
>>220356845>Here's an ancient army using formations, hence why they're even an army to begin with.>Oh nonononono actually the earliest armies were just a few people hitting each other with sticks and only consisted of a few hundred people so not requiring formations for some reason even though plenty of militaries in the past especially in medieval Europe fought in battles with barely a hundred people.
>>220352402>Nolan is an idiotic midwit who makes movies for brown people and brainlets.Nolan is much smarter than you mate. You're just a retard who overrates his intelligence because you've watched a few history youtube videos. And while you talked about importance formation(to flex your paltry knowledge of history) you didn't give any evidence that Mycenean Greeks were that organized. Early armies were just rabble fighting under a banner. Even in latter times when they were more organized battles used to devolve into more of a scramble when fatigue set in. This anon >>220356845 is right.
>>220343379Oh the irony. Literally look at this shit
>>220356845I think it's just a case of that you're using "army" very loosely. Most people's definition of an army requires some sort of multi layered top-down organisation, which excludes tribal warfare. But when the first states did emerge, there were organised armies from the very beginning>>220357014The phalanx on the stela that the guy posted literally predate the Myceneans by almost 2000 years lol. Early armies absolutely were organised. Even the pre-dynastic kings in Sumer and Egypt managed the logistics of conducting raids hundreds of kilometres deep into enemy territories
>>220357066>Early armies absolutely were organisedRe-read my comments again. I am talking about not being organized when not in battle. In the trailer, we see multiple instances of organized battles. The only time we see they're not in formation is in the forest, swords sheared and not expecting any battle.
>>220357118Fair. I didn't read that part of the comment chain or if you said that, but sure. I was only responding to this >>220356309, which isn't really saying the same thing
This movie is gonna fucking suck.The more I found out the worse it gets. It's been all bad too.
>>220356976what is this formation called
>>220352402>Of course such considerations of writing is solely the province of the intelligent who have actual knowledge and interest in the martial arts.Military history is the hobby of lowest form of pseudointellectuals. It's capeshitters trying to be sophisticated. Nolan cares about things actual artists care about like themes, philosophy and story structure.
seething murimutts in this thread jealous that their land of the free doesn't have any interesting mythos for the goat nolan to adapt... so sad bro
>>220352351
>>220357180Bow and axe line
>>220357182You do realise those interests don't usually exist in a vacuum, right? That people interested in military history are probably also generally interested in history? Especially fucking copper age warfare lol
>>220357182This. One should treat historical accuracy nerds the same way one treats scientists accuracy nerds, as midwit pedants who offer nothing to the discussion other than the mindless trivia they've memorised. This is the kind of nerdism that leads people to praise slop like Andy Weir books or The Northman because of their "accuracy" while deriding actual cinema like Braveheart or Interstellar.
>>220357182For the tenth time I don't give a shit about historical accuracy and obviously movies need to compromise. The problem is entirely and solely the fact that the costume designs look like ass.
>>220352402>Essentially there was zero chance the army would advance inland in such a sloppy rabble.There's literally examples of armies being caught in disarray because they weren't expecting any battles. Caesar massacring a tribe of germanics near the Rhine in a surprise attack when he was preparing to go to Britain comes to mind.
>>220352997well that would be sad
>>220353806t. ignorant
>>220343407>>220352209And how all that justifies the lame boring shit Nolan is making?
>>220343161>That fucking tree
>>220347017>It's bad on purpose, guys!>pedantic mental backflips>nonsequitur
>>220343161Every critique I read about this movie (trailer) has been the most midwit thing ever.
>>220348181>Now what's the next step of their master plan?LETS GOOOOO!!!
>>220348886I really didn't like Clash/Wrath of Titans, but the armors and many aesthetic choices were stellar and mog Nolanshit to Hades and back
>>220349606Wrath of Titans did it better
>>220351560Power Rangers had colors
>>220343161i legit thought this was from a new wonder woman movie.
>>220352334
>>220352581Villememe is even worse. Or so I thought before this trailer
>>220352871>But I’m stuck in my car for an hour both ways on to and from work.Yep. Audiobooks have their place and it is what you described.As replacement for books, especially if you are doing anything else, they shit. Just as passive as watching the movie version, compared to actually reading
>>220352892>moneyAll bad btwAlso >>220352910
>>220354886>80s B moviesThose were sexy and fun at the very least, and had colors.And weren't technologically advanced 1000 billions budget movies
>>220353784too colorful
>>220357014>Nolan is much smarter than you mate.Stopped reading there lmao
>>220357506>just turn your brain off, bro!>It doesn't have to be 100% accurate, bro, therefore it's ok if it is obviously -100% accurate and looks like marvelshit, bro
>>220353806Bronze age was long over when it was written.
>>220358508enemies too varied
>WHY IS THERE FANTASY IN MY FANTASY NOVEL?!?!?
>>220344520Kek
>>220358326>Villememe is even worseI would've thought that too before seeing this trailer. Nolan's gonna give Villememe a run for his money with Odysseyslop.The knife fight scene in Dune posted here sometimes looked terrible, but OP's clip might be even worse. 2020s filmmaking.
>>220357205
>>220358512Sure thing loser. You're just another mediocrity on 4chan.
>>220347560Kek
>>220358547Regurgitation mindless trivia isn’t using your brain. It's what manchildren think is intellectual.
>>220343161Were you chuds there? No? Then shut up! Power ranger villains in the odyssey? YASS PLEASE!
>>220343342well, i'm laughing
>>220357182>It's capeshitters trying to be sophisticated. Nolan cares about things actual artists care about like themes, philosophy and story structure.absolute LOOOL. Nolan threads attract the biggest idiots. Nolan is not a good artist or storyteller. His films are pale imitations of real artists like Michael Mann and perhaps Kubrick. He is literally a capeshitter. He makes films that Marvel enjoyers think are smart when they are bored of capeslop. Holy looool.A real director like Mann or Kubrick would pay close attention to military history details and insert them, AND do a much better job of making the work artistic with good structure. Some of you redditors are hilarious.
>>220358592more like>WHY THERE IS LAME BORING DEMYSTIFIED FANTASY FANTASY IN MY FANTASY MOVIE BASED ON LITERATURE THAT IS NOTHING LIKE THAT
>>220352402Thank you for stating the obvious that needed to be said. All these capeshitters are hating, but you are objectively correct. Nolan trying to portray myth as gritty realism makes it look much more obviously retarded when the soldiers act in such a retarded and unrealistic way.
>>220358621YepSad>>220358660he typed furiously while coming here to pick a buzzword fight to defend slop
>>220353408Plz tell me this is not true
>>220358678Big words from someone who can't even read, angry-kun
>>220358812this
>>220356976Loose or skirmish
>>220343161HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAIt's like he got AI to do a pre-vis and then just copied that.
>>220358812The fact that Nolan is one of the more highbrow major directors in Hollywood is yet another sign of how dire things are in the current era.
>>220358129Nolan's own words, by the way.
he's a big guy
>>220352034>Nolan, the master of practical effects>No wait don't actually look at them closely
>>220343161That look goofy as hell
>>220357506Historical accuracy isn't the problem. They problem is that the scene looks like shit because Nolan is not a real artist. He can't do anything like Blade Runner.
>>220358660Appealing to Nolan's success is a fallacy. >clip looks terrible, so anons call it terrible>but I leik muh Nolanslop, so I'll call them a loser cuz they're on 4ching and Dolan maeks millions from normies buying tickets to see big shiny things on teh moobie screenWow, he's like Einstein, truly.
>>220358942I know. And he's a shallow ignorant for that.
>>220344520>I don't want to alarm you, but there could be a Fetterman or several Fettermen in these woods!
>>220359040What's that? You have never done anything meaningful in your life? Sorry anon. Sometimes people aren't made for greatness.
>>220359459>angry celebrity defender wants the last wordkek
When did you realize Nolan was a complete hack?lets be honest even his batman movies were fucking trash. Second only to the clooney batman
>>220352606>There is simply no way a man - even one with the strength of ten men, is going to successfully fight off a creature 2x his size or larger in a melee duel.I can headcanon that Titans/Giants have super low-density physiognomy comprised of exotic materials, with styrofoam-like flesh and an avian-type skeletal structure, thus making them vulnerable to human attack. This is also the only way their bodies could exist irl anyway.
>>220359471>perennially online loser projecting his loser behavior Kek.
>>220359506His trilogy are the only good Batman movies. The rest are trash.
kek the slow way they come in while everyone just stands there is so funny to me
>trans hercules>black helena>crazy ass armor>everything about the production of this>matt damon>christopher nolan>references to there being a crazy twist in news articles about this movieWhy is it so hard for /tv/ to put two and two together? Screencapping this thread to post when everyone starts posting BRAVO NOLAN a few months from now.
>>220343161wtf is this shit?
>>220343161>bronze age>no bronze at all>shitty plastic "armor">steel full plates straight from medieval times two thousand years later
>>220343161me getting thrown through the tree
>>220343273lol
>>220343161WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF BANE SHOWED UP?
>>220359459>What's that? You have never done anything meaningful in your life?It's fair to ask you the same
>>220345826You don't understand, weird things happen with tornado force so this is completely plausible anon
>>220347560Brokenneckmillennial.jpg
>>220348238I get the impression that she's going to be the least of anyone's complaints with thisI've been wrong before but
>>220349889For Ulysses
>>220343479nolan's doing some kind of baffling universalist design aesthetic where nothing is historically accurate, it's just a hodgepodge of various peoples and cultures from all over. i don't really get it
>>220353061>%current_yearBecause you're guaranteed to do this again, shitposts pretending to reference constants go with $CURRENT_YEAR where $ comes from PHP (ironically in PHP constants have no leading symbol). % is really unusual and tends to specify "weird purpose-specific data type" as brackets on both sides when it's even used so you're just advertising you're a phoneposter.>Shut up you fucking nerdFair enough
>>220358862This was last year's Met Gala and it's the unedited version
>>220353822>he found short people to put up against the supposed giants. he found fat short guys to put into the giant armor…Go rewatch Alien (the first one) with the Nostromo crew in space suits walking around the fossilized navigator. No one at the time realized those were the film crew's children.
>>220353975Insomnia is great but it has no twists or mindfucks and it's a remake
>>220343407thanks grok
>>220358190>midwit is my magic "dismiss all criticisms" word!
>>220347017So were they men, or giants?This shit doesn't make any sense - either it should be complete fantasy, or complete realism. The halfway house anachronistic shit doesn't make sense.The "modern interpretation of an ancient myth" thing is already dated and cringe, just an utterly cowardly way to engage with any piece of classical writing.
>>220347017Okay, so why not make it look like something he would actually describe? You know, anything vaguely resembling that era?
>>220362737he's basing it on emily wilson's translation, what do you expect
>>220343342That's just A LOT OF nuts
Notice how of all the comments on Gawain we never felt the need to take apart armor, weaponry, or dialect AND IT STARRED A JEET
>>220343342If it's revealed on release day that it's a comedy, and that's why they got Damon as the lead, it might actually be pretty good. People hearing the story butting and trying to get him to stop lying, but he insists this is how it happened. Show me "written and directed by Christopher Nolan and Steve Oedekerk">>220362978He just set sail from the Scamander. With nuts.
>>220363060>We thought we'd spend oodles of cash just to prank the audience, this is totally GREEK EPIC MOVIE
>>220363104It would be a pretty great timeline if that happened. Much better than the timeline where they made a movie about the Odyssey and they made it look like discount Zack Snyder.
>>220343161Where's the bronze?
