'The Odyssey' is great btw. Would die for Sam Morton. Love to be on a sofa with a boozy drink & occasionally turn to my sofa-mate and tut 'Men :('. Love Matt Damon having feelings / killing sprees in Europe. Appreciate context etc but calling the palace dudes “the suitors” felt very evil boy band.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait:

1. Build up speed
2. Hit Trampoline
3. Cool backflip
4. Nail the landing

The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.
