The gods didn't spare Odysseus because he was a good person, they spared him because Athena saw herself in him. She loved strategy and trickery, so the Trojan Horse didn't offend her at all; it was right up her alley.
Even when Poseidon wanted him dead for blinding the Cyclops, Fate had already decided Odysseus would make it home, meaning Zeus and Athena only let Poseidon torment him, not kill him. Plus, while his crew kept getting themselves wiped out by doing stupid things like eating the sun god's sacred cattle, Odysseus actually had the patience and self-control to survive. Athena basically told him straight out: she could never abandon someone who was just as sharp, cautious, and quick-witted as she was.
Can anyone explain why the Gods spared only Odysseus?
He planned the Trojan Horse, deceiving Troy in Athena’s name.
He blinded the Cyclops, knowing he called his father Poseidon for vengeance.
He also failed to stop the execution of a Trojan girl who looked just like Athena (Zendaya), yet Athena continues to guide him.
What makes Odysseus worthy of being spared 🤔

He makes an absolutely incredible point here. The DCU alienated so many potential viewers by starting with so much raunchy R/TV-MA stuff. Don’t get me wrong. I love Peacemaker, Lanterns and Clayface but only family friendly thing so far is Superman.

One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.
• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.

Kevin Feige stands alone at the top when it comes to running a whole cinematic universe like how does he do it

Days like this makes you appreciate the MCU and Kevin Feige a lot more. Never take them for granted
SimonFX retweeted
Hate the MCU all you want, but Kevin Feige is the single greatest movie producer the world has ever seen.
38 films... $35.153B total global box office.
Simply put, he's a total anomaly/God like figure in his arena. No human ever will come close to his success.

The difference between Marvel Studios and DC Studios is actually insane
Marvel has all the momentum with Avengers Doomsday and DC is back to square one after the James Gunn departure
DC has been trying to catch up for decades now and the gap just keeps growing unfortunately

Marvel is the anomaly. Very few recast, no actors in drama (until phase 4), steadied the course and post Avengers every project boomed bc they earned good faith. Once they climbed up the connected universe ladder, that same ladder was always going to fall so no one else climbs.

People like to shit on Kevin Feige a lot but there's quite literally nobody who is able to do the job like he does.
Not everyone can be Kevin Feige. Not everyone can do what Kevin Feige does.
The job of a Studio CEO show is not easy. Let's show Feige some respect!
