I have lots of thoughts about how this relates to the role of big IPs in modern culture, often recurring with new forms every so often. A good recent example is Dune: the changes made to Chani are IMO a vast improvement over the original text, but people criticized it—you guessed it, as "woke."
Courtney MilanThe only thing I will say about Odyssey discourse is that people who are insisting that things must be 100% faithful with no alterations are acting in service of white supremacy. They may not think that's what they are doing, but they are.
