Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 16/08/2026It's not. the plot, characters, and the underlying themes, are all quite different from the Odyssey. Seeing this movie would give you a very wrong impression of what the Odyssey is all about. 110

Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 15/08/2026They advertised it as a film version of the Odyssey. It's not. It's Nolan's unoriginal Sad Man plot with Odyssey characters and setting. 120
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 15/08/2026It's not accurate to the myth either. Half of the characters are straight up missing. 150

Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Look, I know the translators are living under the fascist Trump regime and I deeply sympathize with their civil and human rights being stolen away by christian zealots; but that doesn't actually obligate me, a non-American, to tolerate terrible translations. 020

Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026As far as I heard, the only reason they were found out was that the game has Japanese VA and some gamers who know a little Japanese noticed the text did not match the Japanese VA. It may not have been noticed otherwise. Noone compiled a spreadsheet of previous games' dialogue. 010
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Well, yes, the entire scene, in fact, it seems, the entire script, was translated in English very different from the other languages. What is "out of the ordinary", as you say, is not the English script by itself necessarily but how it compares to the JP original text and the other European langs. 110
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026There is a long history of Japanese-language media 'localized' that deliberately erases Japanese origin, in a way that is almost never done for, for example, French films, or Russian novels, or Roman and Greek myths. I am not obligated to tolerate it because the people doing it are 'left'-Americans. 230
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026English was the only language where the translation removed references to Japanese internet culture of the 2000s. English is the only language where the word 'fascism' appears in the script (the word does not appear in the italian, german, or spanish languages for instance) 130
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026That quote screenshot is an explanation of additional translation issues that still exist after the patch where the most egregious problems were fixed. And such explanation doesn't explain why English is the only language with such egregious faults. 110
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I've heard that they removed a lot of 2000s otaku culture references. Which are part of the appeal of the game in the first place, I don't understand why they would do that. 130
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026It does actually call into question whether previous games translated by the same group had similar strange errors and it simply wasn't noticed because they didn't have english text with japanese VO which was how this one was spotted. I know I spot bad subtitles fairly often (esp socalled dubtitles) 000
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Ok, that's a fine thing to complain about. Isn't it the translator's job to have good grammar in the target language, not the dev's job to proofread in a language they don't know? 000
Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 26/04/2026It's not the dev's job to do that? Should they do that for a dozen different languages for all the lines in their game? They should be able to trust the people they hired to translate, to translate. From what I've heard, issues in the other languages are limited to bad grammar, why only english 020

Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I mean, there is a problem.

Oren Isaac Watson @orenwatson.bsky.social · 08/12/2025In the limit it approaches two lines of points at the angle 180deg/(R+1) from the y axis. So for example, for R=2, it approaches the lines y=|x|/2. 100
