Sometimes you forget this movie is based on a story so old the mentor guy is actually named “Mentor”

[u/BeetsBy_Schrute → u/TheChlorideThief]

Also pretty convenient that The Odyssey happened to a guy named Odysseus

[u/Cicero912 → u/BeetsBy_Schrute]

Next your gonna tell me Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease

[u/Lowelll → u/Cicero912]

Or that Arsenals most enduring and most successful coach is name Arsene lol

[u/Ghost-E → u/BeetsBy_Schrute]

You ever think what a coincidence it is that Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease?

[u/Omsy92 → u/Ghost-E]

You gonna make that same stupid joke every time that comes up?

[u/Banana4scales → u/BeetsBy_Schrute]

Lazy writing...
