Chris Pratt be like "ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, μοῦσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰ πλάγχθη, ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον ἔπερσεν: πολλῶν δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων ἴδεν ἄστεα καὶ νόον ἔγνω, πολλὰ δ᾽ ὅ γ᾽ ἐν πόντῳ πάθεν ἄλγεα ὃν κατὰ θυμόν, 5ἀρνύμενος ἥν τε ψυχὴν καὶ νόστον ἑταίρων."

I wonder if they'll call it Mario Odyssey

John Leguizamo was pissed that Pratt played Mario the Italian plumber and is a white dude. He’s Colombian and played Mario and now he’s playing a greek in The Odyssey…

And now imagine him speaking it in exclusively Homeric Greek with an East Ionic and Aeolic dialect while speaking in only dactylic hexameters lol. That would be so terrible lmfao. Sounds like a god SNL skit though

I can translate, she said that the marijuana goes in the top drawer. The cocaine and speed go in the second drawer. And the heroin goes in the bottom drawer. Always separate the drugs.

Can you imagine how bad his delivery would be. When they tell him it's a tonal language he might quit.
