Why Is \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d Facing Anti-\u201dWoke\u201d Backlash?<\/h2>\n

Musk has led a chorus of conservative critics who have slammed \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d for allegedly erasing the source material\u2019s Greek roots, pointing mostly to Nolan\u2019s casting of Page and Nyong\u2019o. Musk<\/u> boosted a post on X that accused Nolan of being \u201cracist against the Greek people and their cultural heritage,\u201d and in other posts, Musk said the director has \u201clost his integrity\u201d and accused him of \u201cdesecrating Homer.\u201d Musk\u2019s anti-\u201dOdyssey\u201d posts have been riddled with misinformation, as he has boosted posts that falsely claimed Page is playing Achilles in the movie, while also reposting tweets that misstate diversity standards for the Academy Awards. Other conservative commentators<\/u> have joined Musk in criticizing \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d including Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh and podcast host Megyn Kelly, who claimed Helen of Troy was \u201cwritten as a white person\u201d (though classicists<\/u> have disputed<\/u> this, as she is a mythological figure and the ancient Greeks did not have the same concept of race). <\/p>\n

Film critics have largely rebuffed the conservative backlash against \u201cThe Odyssey.\u201d The movie has a stellar 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/u> based on 455 reviews, and some critics have specifically dismissed Musk<\/u> in their reviews. In a five-star review, Arizona Republic<\/u> critic Bill Goodykoontz called Musk\u2019s comments on Nyong\u2019o \u201cracist and ugly,\u201d criticizing him for using historical accuracy as a justification. \u201cI mean, is the cyclops accurate? Come on.\u201d Nolan has also called the casting backlash to his film \u201cirrelevant,\u201d saying in an interview<\/u> much of the backlash occurred before anyone had even seen the movie. The movie was also an immediate financial success and has grossed<\/u> more than $680 million worldwide so far.<\/p>\n

key background<\/h2>\n

Rogan, whose podcast has been the world\u2019s most popular for years, said earlier this year he considers himself \u201cpolitically homeless<\/u>.\u201d He endorsed President Donald Trump in 2024, which was considered important for Trump to broaden his appeal to younger men, but has since criticized the president over issues including the Iran war and the administration’s handling of the Epstein files. He criticized<\/u> the MAGA movement on his podcast earlier this year, calling it a \u201cmovement of a bunch of f\u2014ing dorks\u201d who are lumped in with some \u201creal, genuine patriots.\u201d Rogan interviewed<\/u> Vice President JD Vance earlier this month, in which Vance admitted the administration \u201cdid mishandle\u201d the Epstein files release. <\/p>\n
