In "The Odyssey" (2026) Elliot Page was cast as a Greek soldier but he is 5'1" and 110Ibs. Matt Damon is 5'10" 185Ibs. People are complaining that Page doesn't resemble the build of a Greek soldier even though the average Greek soldier was 5'4" and 130 Ibs. Page is closer than Matt Damon!
Share your favorite movie (and other motion picture media) details, potentially with a shitty twist.
To be clear, this is a place for satirical and meta^2^ references. Not really the actual movie details, unless they're truly stupid or have strong meme potential/background. "Oh hai Mark" kind of stuff. Tho sometimes even these can span a good debate.
For maximum funni, include full name of the movie, its release date and all the detail right in the title of the post.
Try to avoid actual shit and other nasty stuff. Mark nsfw when appropriate.
For shitty videogame details, there's !shittygamedetails@lemmy.world
Regular rules of lemmy.world apply. Have fun.
I made a similar joke in another thread about how many people complaining about body shapes in The Odyssey would be surprised about the existence of twinks in ancient Greece.
There were skirmishers in the Heroic Age! There were battlefield messengers!
Not everybody needs or wants to be a muscleman.
The royal fuck-toys, I think the historically accurate term is
That's a great name for a band...
