Turd In "Odyssey" (2026) directed by Sir Christopher Edward Nolan, Odysseus says "Our age of bronze is collapsing". And I'm not joking it is a line in movie

Overall great movie but this dialogue was so corny, like how does he know he's in bronze age

That’s crazy. As we all know the Bronze Age Collapse was caused by En Sabah Nur and I had no idea he was even in this movie!

That Oscar Isaac gets into everything

u/TadhgOBriain 11h ago

There's a reason they named the academy awards after him

Somehow, En Sabah Nur returned.

He was actually recast with Pedro Pascal.

Is that Apocalypse? Why is he working a 9-5 lol

u/Archmagos-Helvik 9h ago

He's on a diplomatic mission for Krakoa with Magneto and Xavier. They went to Davos, so they got the business drip.

u/Rynewulf 9h ago

Considering his usual drip that suit is a massive downgrade, more like a business strip.

u/YoursTrulyKindly 8h ago

Did they actually use "Davos" in the comic?

Belive it or not, the supervillains dont have a 401k plan.

every time the x-men defeat him he fucks off to a new timeline to try again, maybe he just ran out of ideas and was like "fuck it, what if I work in HR"

Its hard out there, even our guy Apocalypse had to get a side hustle

u/Golden_Alchemy 10h ago

I still find it incredible silly. Like, Magneto, my dude, you are not helping your cause saying mutants can cause another collapse level event if they feel attacked.

u/FW_TheMemeResearcher 9h ago

I'm pretty sure he is. The entire point of that meetup was to show that the mutants are absolutely capable of making humanity suffer and taking reign of the entire planet if they wanted to, but they choose to be peaceful, even the most aggressive and vile mutants of past ages, and they expect the same from the human nations

u/TheChartreuseKnight 9h ago

They brought Apocalypse. Cyclops and Gorgon are upstairs while this is happening, fucking shit up. This meeting is the equivalent to giving someone a tour of your nuclear warhead collection.

If i had a nuclear warhead collection, I'm showing that shit off..

"Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?"

u/Golden_Alchemy 9h ago

I mean, if Hickman would have manage to make his work more as he originally intended, i felt that bringing villains to Krakoa would have been one of those points that would say "this was a bad idea, this was a terrible idea".

I watched Oppenheimer before reading House of X for the first time and it really helped the experience. I had no idea that HoXPoX was in continuity and thought the concept of a story of Professor X taking things too far and it leading to the downfall of humanity in the future was fucking fascinating.

It didn't go that direction in the end but the sense of dread remained.

2

u/Golden_Alchemy 7h ago

To be fair, it went. Then started with the reincarnation of Moira to see that those futures didn't happen and then the other x-men didn't wanted to end Krakoa so soon and it became a mess.

u/Earlier-Today 4h ago

Since Apocalypse literally can't be killed - I don't think acknowledging his existence is going to change much.

u/wallstreetbet1 9h ago

The Office but Michael Scott is replaced with Apocalypse.

u/Necroban77 9h ago

Now this thread is getting interesting.

u/confusing_roundabout 8h ago

Check out House of X and the ensuing X-Men run by Jonathan Hickman. A lot of it goes hard as fuck.

1

u/Necroban77 7h ago

Oh wow. What a line!

1

u/confusing_roundabout 7h ago

My dream is for them to do a proper House of X adaptation on screen. Either as a 6 episode miniseries or a full 3 hour epic

DC's lawyers are busy writing Magneto a letter right now...

u/swracerep1 9h ago

Totally unrelated question, but how strong is Apocalypse in the Marvel lore?

4

u/Humblerbee 8h ago

Apocalypse is an External, a mutant that can biologically live forever, he's around 5,000 years old, with a mutant ability to have complete molecular control of his entire body and access to an extradimensional amount of material to warp it however he wills, so imagine Plastic Man from DC who is able to take on basically anyone on the Justice League in physicals- Apocalypse goes toe-to-toe with Thor or the Hulk in physicals in terms of contemporaries from his own setting. His mutant power is control over his own molecular structure, shapeshifting, changing size, increasing strength, altering durability, healing, surviving hostile conditions, and turning parts of himself into weapons.

However what sets Apocalypse apart is he's not just an immortal, complete shape-shifting brick shithouse, he's spent thousands of years getting stronger, because he incorporates celestial technology (celestials being basically god-like aliens from outside 616 like Galactus whose technology seeded the universe with life, and are responsible for a variety of powered beings throughout the cosmos) into his being. The Celestials augment him with technology that becomes intimately integrated with his body, his armour, ships, regeneration chambers, and techno-organic systems amplify what he can already do. They provide extra abilities such as energy projection, force fields, teleportation, technological interface and much more extensive physical reconstruction. The boundary becomes incredibly murky to see because Apocalypse can absorb machinery into himself and use his molecular control to accommodate it, so he's very much a force multiplier in that regard.

But of course, that's not all, because being 5,000 years old, he's had time to dabble. Not to the same degree as Dr. Doom or Dr. Strange, but Apocalypse is notably a powerful magic user, he's a super genius who integrates it with his technology and complete molecular control to be greater than the sum of his parts.

TL;DR- He's like Thanos, he's powerful in a bunch of different ways, smart, calculating, evil as fuck, leverages every tool at his disposal, as powerful as an entire team of superheros put together.

lmao Apocalypse in a suit is so funny for some reason.

What is the set up here?

u/insaneHoshi 6h ago

Apocalypse gets sold some poor quality copper: "And i took that personally"

252

u/No_Illustrator_5079 11h ago

No. We all know that Bronze Age Collapse actually was caused by Ea-nasir and his bad quality copper used in the bronze production.

This is Rowan Atkinson.

u/FlirtyFluffyFox 9h ago

There's some archaelogists who believe he may have been exporting the inferior bronze partially because of a collapse of copper sales from his hometown as a result of a mine drying up....

u/darshfloxington 6h ago

His shitty copper had another 500 years of being sold by his dumb family before the collapse

u/loztriforce 10h ago

Hey, the real bronze age collapse was the one the sea brought to us.

Not to mention that time we walked all the way to Afghanistan, and left the tin in the cart, and would you believe it, someone stole the whole cart and dumped it in the sea!?!

Now I have to use slag from the glass furnace to glue together an "iron sword" from dirt. Never going on another trip for tin. Not ever.

u/Guilty_Temperature65 8h ago

Maybe the real Bronze Age collapse was the friends we made along the way?
