The Odyssey: Elon Musk Says Grok Will Create A "Historically Accurate" AI Version Of Homer's Epic This Year

@TheRevelation - His Ai project seems to suggest otherwise.

@LiquidSwords - Nothing in the ai was accurate. All the moaning about the modern dialogue yet he uses "ok" in the video, which is a word created thousands of years after. He has ear plugs during the Sirens scene and they are pasty white, which the Greeks weren't.

@FireGunn - This is peak nitpick. It's an AI-generated artistic video, not a BBC documentary or time-travel reconstruction. Of course it takes liberties, every adaptation does. "Ok" in dialogue? Yeah, it's modern English for viewers, same way every movie or translation updates the language. Homer didn't write in English at all.

Ear plugs for the Sirens? Homer has Odysseus's crew with wax in their ears. Close enough for a visual—dramatic shortcut, not a crime.

"Pasty white" Greeks? Mediterranean people had a range of skin tones (olive to light), not Northern European pale or Hollywood bronze. Ancient Greeks depicted themselves with varied complexions; this obsession with exact skin tone policing is weird and ahistorical. Also hypocritical given the cast in Nolan's slop.

It's not claiming 100% accuracy, it's a creative retelling. The real Odyssey has magic, gods, and monsters. Demanding museum-level precision while ignoring bigger changes in live-action films (like Nolan's) is just selective outrage.

@FireGunn - "Hahahaha. When proven wrong, say I'm "nitpicking" [frick]ing moron. Yes, if the "historically accurate" ai can't get shit right than it shouldn't make the [frick]ing film."

Haha, still using meth? Keep coping. Calling minor creative choices (like modern English or visual shorthand for ear plugs) "getting shit wrong" while defending Nolan's bigger changes is peak hypocrisy. Grok Imagine's version is still more faithful to the spirit and key events of Homer than Nolan's guilt-ridden, modern/woke-reframed take. It's art, not a museum replica. If "historically accurate or it shouldn't exist" is your rule, then delete 99% of all Odyssey adaptations, including Nolan's, fountainhead.



"So crying about "daddy" in the film is fine but me giving that same energy back about "Ok" isn't? Moron"

No, dumbass. There's a difference. Critiquing Nolan for injecting modern guilt, therapy-speak, and reframing the entire moral worldview ("crying about daddy"/trauma) is about substantive changes to Homer's story and themes. Pointing out "ok" in an AI video is pedantic nitpicking over basic language modernization that every English adaptation uses. One actually distorts the spirit; the other is just accessibility. Not the same energy.



"Ear plugs that you could get at five below didn't exist in the bronze age. Yes, it is a crime if you're trying to be accurate. Wax is not plugs."

You're still on this? It's an AI artistic video, not a Bronze Age reenactment. Homer has the crew stuffing wax in their ears, the video just visualized "ear protection" in a way viewers instantly get. That's not "a crime," it's practical storytelling. No one claimed museum-level accuracy. If a tiny visual shortcut triggers you this hard while you defend Nolan's bigger thematic changes, you're just being inconsistent and pedantic as hell. Time for some self-reflection, weirdo.

"Nolan wasn't the one claiming to be historically accurate. This garbage slop is, and it is not. The Greeks didn't look like northern Europeans and they still don't today. Stop defending this slop and wake up to reality."

lol Goalpost moving, again. Grok Imagine never claimed to be a "historically accurate" documentary, it's clearly stylized AI art. Same as every adaptation. Nolan, on the other hand, took it much further: heavy modern guilt over Troy, reframing Odysseus as a traumatized therapy case, feminist reinterpretations, and overall insulting both Homer's raw worldview and the audience by turning an epic of cunning, revenge, and homecoming into a guilt sermon. That's the real slop.

Greeks were Mediterranean (olive to light skin tones, not "pasty Northern European" or sub-Saharan). The video didn't turn them into Vikings. You're raging at minor visuals while giving Nolan a pass on the big thematic betrayal. Take your pills.

"Imagine being so far gone you're actually eating this pathetic nonsense up. You're pathetic."

Projection much? You're the one melting down over an AI video's ear protection and skin tones while hand-waving Nolan's bigger changes (crimes). I'm not "eating nonsense", I'm calling out inconsistent whining. If you want a serious discussion, bring actual points instead of "you're pathetic" tantrums. Otherwise, keep seething. I'm good.

@FireGunn - Aaaaaand still in the red!



Nobody's crying because your dei blockbuster made a little money this week despite being in the red. Titanic raked it in too, still had plot holes. Success doesn't magically make Nolan's guilt-ridden, therapy-speak, feminist-reframed slop faithful to Homer. It's a slick modern remix that butchers the spirit, and pointing that out isn't "fee fees," it's having standards. 😀

"I was right. Again.

The Odyssey is receiving very low ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.

Audiences hate it. A 56% rating. Not 97%.

The Rotten Tomatoes reviews are rigged.

Now there is proof."




Enjoy your "94% consensus" slop. The rest of us will stick with the actual 2,700-year-old epic instead of pretending Hollywood remakes are sacred. You need therapy. I hope you get it.

@FireGunn - LOL "Cope is real" says the guy simping for review-buffed numbers. Your 97% RT "audience" score looks suspect as hell when Metacritic users sit at ~5.3 and Letterboxd at 4.3.



As one post put it: "Rotten Tomatoes just permanently torched its credibility."

@ShaneTMilson

Big openings don't fix the modern guilt-trip remix of Homer. Success ≠ faithful or flawless. Keep coping and projecting while the gaps scream curated slop. See you at $800M... or whatever the legs actually are, champ. As of now, it won't break even. lol

@FireGunn - "You have to be a troll. There's no way you're serious. It actually has a 4.4/5 on Letterboxd, which places it as a top 115 film ever lmaooo. You're disproving your own point moron. The Metacritic user score is going up as more people watch it. Review Buffed numbers? So you're telling me universal didn't just buff Rotten Tomatoes but also Imdb, Trakt, SIMKL, FilmAffinity, and basically every review site? Keep living in your delusions."

Slow down and learn to control the slobbering, you rattled hypocrite. 4.4 on Letterboxd is decent for a blockbuster, but “top 115 all-time” is a stretch. Metacritic users climbing from a low start still shows it’s pretty polarized. RT’s glowing verified score stands out against the other gaps as heavy marketing and hype explain a lot of it.

Big opening, sure, but with a $250M+ budget and marketing, it still needs like $625-750M worldwide to break even after theaters take their cut. It’s only been out a week and still hasn’t made its money back. Box office has declined every day since the opening weekend, as expected but not exactly unstoppable legs yet. It’s all mindless hype for Nolan fans. Doesn’t make the modern guilt-trip, trauma reframing, and changes any more faithful to Homer’s original spirit though. Success doesn’t erase that. 😀

"Thanks for the goalpost move lol. Every projection has this not only breaking even but also becoming a successful profit. Cope more."

There is no goalpost move. Big opening + good weekdays don’t equal automatic profit. $250M budget + heavy marketing means it needs $625M–$750M+ worldwide to truly break even after theaters take half. It’s still early and hasn’t crossed that line yet, with daily declines since opening. Projections are optimistic, but legs will decide. Big openings don’t fix the modern guilt-trip, trauma reframing, and changes that stray from Homer’s spirit. Success doesn’t equal faithful. That’s it, airhead.

@LiquidSwords - You're such a pathetic maggot lol.

@regmovieguy - He told him no.

@LiquidSwords - Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

@BiffDitko -









LOL!

@Vigor - You don’t like Greek history or culture either? I mean, you apparently hate women so I’m curious.

@Vigor - "Strawman arguments are very rudimentary and basic."

So, stop pretending this is one. You are indeed of the delusion that men can be women and vice versa, which is what this film portrays. As you see, it's on point and not a strawman.

"Try again Trumpster and this time use some often God given intelligence im sure you have somewhere"


Just did. Twice. You're welcome to address it instead of dancing with your psychological projection. 😀

@BiffDitko - Oh, it's quite the prestigious list...

@LiquidSwords - If that's what you think than I'd rather not f***ing be one.
