‘The Odyssey’ Proves It: Audiences Want Movies Made the Hard Way | This year's breakouts like 'Project Hail Mary' and 'Obsession' were made by filmmakers who sweated. While CG-stuffed franchise disappointments such as 'Supergirl,' 'Moana,' and 'The Mandalorian and Grogu' looked lazy.

It may have been full of CGI, but it was created by a team working on location in an actual galaxy.

[u/Enderwiggen33 → u/Muroid]

Do you have a source for this? Doesn’t sound too believable

[u/blueblurz94 → u/Enderwiggen33]

My uncle works at Nintendo, and he said the film’s production was done within the Milky Way and Melty Monster Galaxies

[u/someguyfromtecate → u/blueblurz94]

Sounds like your typical story of a guy working the Nintendo hotline providing gaming advice and cheat codes to moving all the way up to making movies in other galaxies. I’ve heard it before many times.

[u/PaladinSaladin → u/someguyfromtecate]

It happened to my aunt Linda. You probably don't know her, she goes to a different school.

[u/LastScene86 → u/someguyfromtecate]

On the playground it was always "my uncle works for Nintendo Power."

[u/Rewdboy05 → u/blueblurz94]

Who's your uncle? My uncle works there too so they're probably friends!

[u/Zeeron1 → u/blueblurz94]

It's true

Source: I am the milky way

[u/CuddleWings → u/Zeeron1]

It’s an honor to meet you sir.

Thank you for your service o7.

[u/BendJumpy2268 → u/blueblurz94]

My daddy works at Nintendo after he got fired from Sega. xD

[u/Zalvren → u/blueblurz94]

I can confirm it was done within the Milky Way

[u/Dirty_Dragons → u/blueblurz94]

I had completely forgotten that we are in the Milky Way galaxy. Such a random name.

[u/itchriswtf → u/Enderwiggen33]

I've played all the documentary material since SMB1. Trust me bro.

[u/Futaba_Sakura800 → u/Enderwiggen33]

I live in the mushroom kingdom and I saw Mario and his crew film here.

[u/Hayterfan → u/Muroid]

Unfortunately Illumination forgot to give everyone space suits, so they had to share the 3 they had amongst 100+ people

[u/Worthyness → u/Hayterfan]

Theyre all minions anyway, so no biggie.

[u/guineaprince → u/Muroid]

It looks like it, but that galaxy was built entirely within a sound stage.

[u/ExcersiseTheDemon → u/Muroid]

That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about stars to dispute it.

[u/valeyard89 → u/Muroid]

far, far, away?

[u/eltedioso → u/Muroid]

Big if true

[u/destrokk813 → u/Muroid]

Nolan should have bent time and space like he did when he filmed Interstellar. Odyssey could have fared better.

[u/Amulet-of-Kings → u/Muroid]

That's more than Nolan did. Part of the Odyssey was filmed in occuppied Western Sahara
