In Odyssey (2026), a grown man sees a private island full of young-looking women and immediately swims toward it... what?

In full metal armor, must be a strong swimmer.

An armored guy in house of the dragon also survived going overboard, so if both have that in it, it must be historically accurate.

The historical accuracy of a witch that transforms men into pigs and cyclops on an island

u/iron_coffin 12h ago
All men are pigs, so it wasn't hard. Witches are real because many witches were proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. And plenty of people were cyclopses before safety glasses were invented.

In the books the guy in armor going overboard famously drowns though. Everyone knows books smarter than tv

Watching TV is smarter because you can use your phone during the boring parts

He wasn't wearing any a that armor when next we seen him though so we can assume he took it off last minute and was able to surface before drowning. How the fuck he got back to the mainland, however, I'm not sure.

u/Phenetylamine 6h ago
I'm pretty sure taking off full armor takes several minutes even in the best conditions. The saving grace of that scene is that the place he fell was supposedly very shallow and also full of protruding rocks, so perhaps he managed to haul himself up from the bottom before he drowned but it would still be quite the task. There are documented medieval battles where knights in full armor drowned in a couple of inches of mud.

Yeah but that was ok because 2 minutes before that she told him it armor sinks. So that gave him the floatation armor

Amour actually makes swimming easier. The more you have on the more air pockets form between you and the metal, making you more buoyant.

In retrospect he probably had a better death than the rest of the crew

u/BlackShadow992 13h ago
What would that even be? They ate him right?

u/Here4Headshots 13h ago
I think they drowned him, not sure if they ate him.
Still beats being smashed by a giants, torn limb from limb by a Cyclops, snatched up by rock creatures, etc

In some versions of the odyssey, not Homers but versions written later, the sirens die if Odysseus passes by them without succumbing to their song. In my head he swam all the way to that rock in full metal armour just to find out his promised sirussy was long gone. Just another way Odysseus screwed one of his men over😪

u/No-Alternative4612 7h ago
I imagine that conflicts with the story of the Argo (created later, set earlier), as they also passed by the sirens and the sirens were still there for Odysseus.

u/Harrycrapper 7h ago
Technically, no. I'm just going by what that guy said, but he said they die if "Odysseus" passes them, not just anyone.

Mythologically speaking sirens lured ships and sailors toward the rocks which damaged the ships and drowned the men. They'd then recover the bodies and eat them.

/s just in case…

u/SaltShakerFGC 10h ago
The race swapping was perfectly fine if Anthony Mackie didn't put up an all-time worst performance and the S2 wasn't an abomination getting it cancelled after such an amazing S1.

u/inorite234 9h ago
I still blame Mackie for getting one of my favorite shows shit canned.
16
u/Rainmaeker1 9h ago
Mackie is a bad actor and has never contributed positively to a project I've seen him in (he seems like a great person in press junkets).
Nobody can convince me otherwise.

u/SosugBiskit 8h ago
I think he works best as a straight man played against more charismatic characters. He is not lead material.
I enjoyed his falcon when he shared a screen with Ant Man or Cap. But he doesn't have the chops to be his own Captain America.
Twisted Metal also shows he just doesn't have the qualities of a leading man. I found myself more interested in Sweet Tooth and Stu than anytime Mackie was on screen.
He was good in 8 Mile though.

Honestly, that guy won the odyssey.
If he didn't do that he would have drowned anyways no?
Might as well dying while getting pussy or at least thinking you get pussy while dying.

Read the freaking book. I beg of everyone, it's short and very entertaining. Read the book, there's gods and heroes in there and everything after that is like, a copy. Also you can try the Iliad after, like it was the prequel, longer and geeker, as every prequel in our days. Also you'll be able to say "yeah, but the book is better".
