I’ll take this further for the sake of hater week: the script is often the least important part of a movie, and if you watch a movie for the script then you’re not actually watching a movie, you are having a book read to you.
it's gita timeYou kind of can’t just be like ”yeah and there were some visuals there that were quite a spectacle.” A movie is made up of visual information. The entire movie is visuals. You have to talk about the images on the screen!

The casting is diverse because it's anti-xenophobic. Characters say repeatedly there's some scary external threat and they're always wrong or lying. (Also honestly I kinda don't want "we should respect the grand traditions of not stealing or raping or lying" to be considered a conservative virtue)

On the other hand, it's deeply anti-imperialist, anti-rich privilege and its critique of the Trojan War is basically "no blood for oil." (And I think, on some level, anti-man; I think we're meant to think Circe had a point.) I don't think the diverse casting is window-dressing, in other words.

On one level, I totally get the sentiment of "ha ha conservatives hate The Odyssey but it's actually a conservative movie." It's deeply traditionalist, it believes Man should submit himself to God (or the Gods), it's about a manly white man doing manly things and having manly emotions
