indie fans trying to read the odyssey when they find out it has no realistic depictions of panic attacks, broadway inspired musical numbers, tumblr sexymen, goonerbait, therapyspeak, morally ethical ships with no problematic age gaps, anime voice acting, fanservice, steven universe references, inappropriate sex jokes to claim that the show is for adults even though the art style is clearly bright and colourful in an attempt to make it marketable towards children and teenagers, pop culture references, a generic protagonist with 0 personality for them to self insert, psychological horror, 4 hour video essays by white people with titles like "the horror of [show title]", awkward zany humour, marvel quips every 3 minutes, non binary characters, marketable plushies, vague foreshadowing, existentialism, jumpscares, merch with random japanese words, neon genesis evangelion references, an allegory for gender dysphoria, fandom discourse on twitter, analog horror, lorebait, vtuber cameos, 4th wall breaks, commentary on family trauma, exposition about the protagonists sad backstory, liminar spaces, allegory for depression, loredumps by the author on twitter/tumblr or queer representation
It has none of that? Damn. I'd be mad for wasting my time too.
>>836850it has all of those things, OP just doesn't get them. for example, when a guy is possessed by a god, it's a poetic way of saying they are suffering some sort of condition, be it panic attacks, psychotic breaks, bpd outbursts, and so on. and the story of telemachus is literally about family trauma. there is like a hundred allegories for depression, and the entire thing is a giant loredump about greek mythology, dynasties, cultures, and a bunch of other stuff. like the list of ships, it's shameless
This is why I only buy AAA games
>>836844>tumblr sexymenevery single character in odysseus's warband
>therapyspeak,odysseus talking to athena
odysseus taking lotus from calypso
>morally ethical ships with no problematic age gapsodysseus and penelope
> 4 hour video essays by white people with titles like "the horror of [show title]"the odyssey absolutely has this
OP is trying to bait us into doing his English homework…
>>836894it's crazy to me that americans consider the odyssey a "hard book". I live in a third world shithole and we were made to read it in middle-school. that poster is right and you're kind of exposing yourself by implying that reading the book is some kind of achievement
>>836911I'm not trying to claim its some kind of achievement, but the film is not the same story as the original. Odysseus does not take a lotus from Calypso. In the poem she is a rapist who kidnapped him.
>>836911which cunt? other than greece i cant imagine any other making kids read the odyssey
>>836921What? Why not? I think most European countries require reading either it or the Illiad. For us it was Odyssey.
everyone read the odyssey in high school english class imbecile
