      True, but I was not a nerd on the topic. I just thought it was stupid to shoehorn a boring forbidden love subplot into a movie about the most famous fucking ship sinking of all time as if that alone wasn’t dramatic enough.

          What about the U.S.S. Enterprise?

          I’m not talking about fictional ships.

          Also, the Ark famously did not sink.

            Then the Bismarck, the Marat or the Yamato? Or Space Battleship Yamato?

                I was joking around.

                That said, I think there are an infinite amount of films about the Yamato in Japan.

                Also, there are no Swedish power metal songs about the Titanic, but there is at least one about the Bismarck and the Dreadnought.

                Also, the Dreadnought named a whole ship class internationally.

            The Argo isn’t fictional. It was a prominent part of the Hellenic religion’s myths. People believed in it.

              People believed and still believe in a lot of fictional things.

              I’m not sure why you think “people believed in it” is an argument for the existence of anything. You’re even calling it a myth yourself. You might look up the meaning of that word.

                Gender is also a myth. You might as well argue Socrates wasn’t a famous man, because maleness is a myth.

                  No, gender is a social construct, not a myth. That’s like saying fashion is a myth.

                  You’re making the most bizarre argument I have ever seen. People believed in Anubis for thousands of years. Please do show me one shred of evidence for the existence of Anubis as a real being.

                    Really bizarre, yes. But also a waste of time, sorry. Nothing productive will come out of your “discussion” with that person.
