The amount of aura Pondsmith effortlessly emits in still unmatched
Mike Pondsmith has repeatedly said that CD Projekt Red understands Cyberpunk, the world he created. He's been enthusiastic about their partnership from the get-go and it's wonderful to see that relationship continue to flourish.
This is in stark contrast to the relationship between The Witcher creator Andrzej Sapkowski and CDPR, which thankfully as improved in recent years if my research is correct.
The primary difference here is, Pondsmith is familiar with gaming and has always valued it as a medium, while Sapkowski has not.
The anime-fication this series is bringing to cyberpunk will be the death of it.

"go to hell” is basic. “i hope your favorite franchise about fighting megacorps get sent to a megacorp that just did a merger and theyre gonna turn it into a live action movie" is smart. it’s possible. it’s happening to me
Of course the japanese has no problem with a rapist being involved in the production of the series

First teaser for ‘GODSLAP’, a new animated film based on MoistCr1TiKaL's comic series.
The film follows a boy with an extraordinary slapping ability who ventures out into the world for the first time.
This is the most idiotic tweet I've read in a while. The idea of a nuclear fallout as a dooms day of sort doesn't equal the bombing of japan. The thought that a nuclear war would be disastrous comes much more from the cold war and the arms race in that time.
Then why should we translate anything? Every translation is in itself a loss of meaning from the original, since you can't put a society knowledge into a translation, without using a lot more words than the original text.
Seen people say the pun works and should have been included but the pun doesn't work for multiple reasons, ill try and explain
First of, the Cyclops' name is Polyphemus (Πολύφημος) which means 'of much fame' 'renowned'
Odysseus saying "Nobody is my name, Nobody is what they call me...'' ("Οὖτις ἐμοί γ᾽ ὄνομα: Οὖτιν δέ με κικλήσκουσι...") sets the stage for a standoff between ''Nobody vs Renowned''
after he pokes his eye the cyclops exclaims ''Oh friends, Nobody is killing me either with trickery or force!" ("‘ὦ φίλοι, Οὖτίς με κτείνει δόλῳ οὐδὲ βίηφιν.")
To which they respond "If indeed, then, no one is doing you violence, since you are alone..." ("εἰ μὲν δὴ μή τίς σε βιάζεται οἶον ἐόντα....")
Here the part they say ''μή τίς'' means ''no one'' and sounds as one word instead of two phonetically ''μή τίς -> μητίς'' which translates to cunningness
so the pun is that no one and cunningness sound the same in Ancient Greek and Odysseus' hallmark trait of which he is renowned for throughout the poem destroys ''the renowned''
Nobody won vs the Renowned
So its not just ''nobody is attacking me'' and they say ''okay''. That doesnt do justice to the whole thing, it is bankrupt of meaning and it would seem stupid
There's double puns and meanings in those few lines and it doesnt translate well. Hell, it doesnt even translate that well to modern Greek
Its also one of the main themes that Odysseus is cunning so the passage points to that too. or that Odysseus is renowned for his cunningness but he is nobody who won vs renowned by using his renowned cunningness.
So you see?
i think i just wasted 20mins nobody is gonna read through all this but if you did now you know why this passage of the poem is renowned😅
P.S the Homeric poems are unbelievably hard to translate to plays. their stories are hard to contain and the meanings are subtle and do not always translate well. It is a monumental undertaking and you can easily get lost as a director if you try to copiously give the poems justice. Nolan made an adaptation that was fun to watch and corresponded to modern audiences in limited time. The win here is that this movie will point people to the books and subtle meanings within them.
so chill with the negativity, Homer does not need defending, he withstood time
>Italia Neanderthal
>La serie è principalmente locata a Rebibbia e Roma
Checks out
