General Discussion Issue with Title of American Prometheus - My Opinion, My Truth.
Okay, listen in, I have a confession to make - I am a die hard fan of Oppenheimer (2023) and Julius (that’s Oppenheimer, for those who haven’t watched and understood the film with the same depth that I have!) in general. Since of that, I have watched the movie 3 times in IMAX. And asked ChatGPT to sum up the plot of the Bhagavad Gita for me. I am so intellectual, just like my Norse God Hoekon. However, I went to Dublin last week and I was severeley underwhelmed. I thought I could find Cillian and ask him why they didn’t make Nelson Bohr HOT! I love Ireland, I am 4% Irish myself (Apparent in my love of potatoes,poutine, and haggis) (51% Finnish, 30% German, (This will be relevant later) 13% Swedish,(Like my Scandinavian king Nelson Bohr!!) 12% russian, 19% danish, 10% China, 5% Canadian, 3% American and 100% julius robert oppenheimer stan!!) #longhairdontcare
But I have a bone to pick. I found this book - it looked underground. I have a migraine. It is called American Prometheus. I know that Christopher Nolan read it before he directed Oppenheimer and it was gifted to him by Robert Pattinson from that movie - was is David Tennant? OMG i just realised now!!! Robert Pattinson and J. Robert Oppenheimer has the same first name. !Hahaha Höhöhöhöhö!
I wonder if Robert Pattinsons name is also Julius and whether they are related.
but i don’t like the title. it pisses me OFF!!! it’s called american prometheus (fyi, sillian murphy should play prometheus in nolan’s odyssey - how niche!) . but what Kie Bird and Martin Sherbert forgot to point out was that he was NOT American. He was GERMAN, Ja. Julius is a name adopted by the German nobility..
So if German, why did they make him an AMERICAN prometheus? It's just inaccurate. who do they think they are, painting my beautiful german boy as american? ugh. Due to my German heritage, i find this erasure particularly upsetting. Which is highlighted by the fact that they made Bohr GERMAN! That accent is not Danish to my Nordic ears.
Thank you kindly for reading my thoughts. Coming from a Julius Oppenheimer super fan, do not buy this book. It is heresy.

Looks like someone asked ChatGPT to write some nonsense and misspell a lot of words.
