critiquing the terrible costumes in the Nolan Odyssey film..

I think it cheapens the meaning of the original- the original was an epic that ended perfectly- it didn't need a sequel. It is interesting how Russell Crowe talks about the moral core; he is 100% correct about the incorruptibility and heroism of Maximus as being unforgettable for the audience. From the start Maximus was is depicted as a 'unicorn' of sorts, as the only non-corrupt Roman elite (which I find improbable- it is the equivalent to finding a billionaire with the morals an extremely honorable middle class or poor person today) and also a 'stoic' hero that quotes from stoic philosophers throughout the film. This is why the dying Emperor Marcus Aurelius chose him as his successor in the first place, which would ironically lead to both Maximus and his families' deaths.

Sam worthington sucks as an actor- Antony Starr proved great as a villian Henry Cavill is the people's choice but I don't think he has enough charisma. Don't know about rupert.

switzerland- the premiere military superpower..

the taylor swift BTS series is much less grandiose and relaxed than I expected. the Nolan odyssey trailer looks really bad visually. I don't like anything about it at all. It looks miscast and the costumes/set pieces look bad.

This guy's trollish channel lol

The avatar story also has a lot of problematic aspects. The 'hero' of the character was for me, more unlikable than heroic. He came across as much more of a plot device than a realistic character. His actions are those of a self-serving traitor from the get go, like what a sociopath would do. If he had moral problems with Alien genocide why join the military? Most western youths have don't want to join the army for similar reasons. The franchise takes the anti-human/noble savage stance from the get-go but the real world is much more complex than this. I see that the recent film introduces the 'bad' tribes but ultimately they are not asking the hard, and ultimately more interesting questions. The humans with all their advanced technology are military idiots and bumble into the pandora and get massacred every time. Will this happen again in the 4th and 5th movie? The avatars are overpowered in combat, easily destroying hovercraft with a single explosive-tipped arrow. Jake & his wife have massacred so many humans so easily.
