How does the CEO of so many corporations have time to fuck around with stuff like this.
Cause CEOs don’t really do anything. All the work gets delegated to other people.
There’s much speculation that Musk’s companies tend to work best when he sticks to attracting attention to them (which he actually does quite well, I guess) but he keeps his nose out of their technicals and business.
And… well, he attracts attention by doing controversial stuff on Twitter.
Being the biggest troll possible is literally his job.
When Elon says “historically accurate”, what he means is “no black people”.
I think Elon would also unLGBTQ the Greek Gods.
Ohh, I’m sure there will still be black people. They will just be in the very specific roles of servants / slaves / cannon fodder.
Wouldn’t slaves in Greece just be other Greeks and stuff.
No, no, no. None of that “logic” stuff in here, pal.
Woke people always showing their brain !
Musk is making it. They’ll be black. To match his version of historically accurate.
It is like saying that you are going to remake Die Hard but make it more historically accurate.
That building isn’t even in L.A.!
I’d watch a historically accurate Die Hard.
Protagonist dies in second shoot out
It’s pretty hard to watch
That building isn’t even in L.A.!
Akshtually, that depends how you look at it. Yes, it isn’t in the downtown LA, but it is located in Century City that technically is in Los Angeles (west part of it, on the border with Beverly Hills)
It was called Fox Plaza now it is called 2121 Avenue of the Stars
To be fair, I think he’s talking about being accurate to the historical period in which the story is set. That period was very real, even if the events of the story - namely the supernatural ones - were not.
That being said, I have a really hard time understanding why some people care so much. It’s just a movie, and it really doesn’t seem worth getting upset about. Just don’t watch it if it bothers you that much.
Racism is the reason they are upset; they are racists.
By accurate he means not including a black woman in the cast.
If Nolan were trying to be accurate to the historical period, there wouldn’t be a black woman in the cast, or any actors who aren’t from that part of the Mediterranean, basically, which includes English actors, East Asian actors, etc. Obviously, Nolan isn’t going for historical accuracy, which, in my opinion, is a perfectly valid decision. Nearly all period films made in Hollywood today don’t only use actors who are from the relevant geographic area. That’s why, as I already said, I don’t understand why people are getting so upset about it.
The people that are upset are bigots.
How are there still people here who don’t understand this?
Making an AI generated movie at the end of this year is billionaire equivalent of giving treats to your sickly pet before the euthanization.
I think this is code for “True to the art of the white race.”
There’s literally terminally online people mad that the Odyssey just… isn’t that.
It is not about “historical accuracy”, it’s about exclusion.
Before the end of the year we will also have full self driving cars, autonomous household robots, a mars base, …
He probably thinks Star wars really happened in a far away galaxy.
In addition to the obvious, wasn’t Homer not a person? I feel like I heard that it was more of a legend people collected stories under. May have that mixed up with something else though.
Sorta kinda. There might have been a poet we know as Homer, but the consensus is he did not “write” the trojan war poems (we only have two out of the eight - illiad and Odyssey). People have been arguing about this before any of us were born
It’s a dog whistle meaning they will make Odyssey white
Hey now. There are still slaves in the Odyssey.
Does slave actually = black to you?
Is that humor in your world?
Way to completely misread the situation. I was referring to musk’s racism and him filing all the slave roles with minorities because it matches his version of “historical accuracy”.
100$ says it’ll never happen. Muskfuck never delivers and even he’s not dumb enough to release whatever monstrosity their shit-tier AI would produce
Bet everything. There’s a zero percent chance this happens, why lowball the bet?
Are you saying he’s a liar? He said it will happen, and he’ll have a show with a hysterical crowd welcoming the release of The REAL TRUE Odyssey movie, and Tesla’s Level 5 Full Self Driving, and he’ll broadcast this show to the folks who just set foot on Mars!
Yeah and we will have self driving cars in 2020.
