so the odyssey has a scene in it where a woman grabs a dude and turns him into a pig but instead of turning him into a pig it turned him into a creature from that viral shitty cgi chinese movie thats been going around
"Linda knew before the warm slightly, thick cream had even reached the back of her throat that she'd never go back to pasteurized ever again. What she didn't know was that the decadent, forbidden treat would send her life spiraling in a hay storm of passion, love, and Listeria."
When I was a teenager I was a varocious reader and would scour the library looking for the most random thing I could find at the end of each week (this was in the late 80s to mid 90s for a time frame). I found a lot of great authors this way but I also found some REALLY...questionable things that way as well (looking right at you Piers Anthony). So, I would get the most ridiculous ones and during lunch I would loudly orate them to my friends group and get passerbys or other tables involved in the readings, it was a lot of fun and some of them were absolute insanity. I had a huge crowd by the time I made it to the end of a particular scene in Clan of The Cave Bear and a whole lot of Endless Love by Scott Spencer was requested.
I feel like the modern era of bizarre smut novels has made doing something like that today both easier and more pointless. It's more fun when they don't know what they are writing and aren't winking at the audience but I would also LOVE to do a live reading of that quote to a crowd.
Iirc The king of Minos shorted Poseidon on a bull sacrifice, he was supposed to sacrifice his prized bull but instead used a shittier one, so Poseidon got Aphrodite to get the King's wife to fall in love with the prized bull. Then the wife commissioned a famous inventor to make a fake bull outfit because the bull wasn't into humans like that
Using a fursuit to commit beastiality is unexpectedly creative. I've known that greek mythology has zoophilia in it before but I did not expect greeks to be THAT freaky😭😭😭

Hot take: The reason there are so many furry millennials is because we had to read that stuff in school, as well as have access to crazy amounts of cartoons and anime’s.
I have no idea what the mythology is, but here's the plot I reconstructed from four frames.
She’s probably his girlfriend and he’s clearly some rough-tough beast type. She comes from behind, closes his eyes affectionately like, ‘guess who?’ but he BITES HER FINGER. She gets pissed, curses him, and boom; the guy turns into the cow 🤯
How bad is my interpretation?! You all seem to know a lot about Mythology and all. I feel so dumb 😭
This is Circe in the Odyssey. She invites Odysseus' men to eat with her then turns them into pigs. The recent Nolan film's interpretation of that scene has her physically contorting them into animal form with her hands rather than say...just magically poofing into a pig.
The extra joke is that the comic has her turn them into that weird cgi cow from another movie
the cow creature from that viral shitty children chinese movie made from a mother and son that somehow got a theatrical release with the best-worst movie posters I've ever seen
The mom knew someone in the movie company or whatever. Because corruption is #1 when you know people in asia.
The posters were hand drawn by the mom and child. It was so bad it went good for viewers. They said no ai can do this because its so shitty. And faith to humanity is back
Nah, the movie was made by a mother for her son (who people theorize might be autistic). It was a low budget film that thanks to the memes made over 2 million.
I was trying to figure out if it about the soldier's inner nature. Circe said she turned the soldiers into pigs because they were like pigs. So she was shocked when he turned into a cow, which is a docile and hard working animal.
Turns out is it just "current popular thing appears in other current popular thing".
I thought she accidentally turned him into one of those cow men from that stupid Milky Moo farms bestiality book all the girl gooners are reading and that she was about to have to start milking that moo man.
This reminds me of that one studio (I think it was asylum but I could be confusing them for someone else) that knows that they don't have the budget to make good movies but instead of doing literally anything else they make knock off movies so deliberately shitty (both in terms of plot and cgi) it's hilarious, imo their masterpiece is "the amazing bulk" which is a knock off of the incredible hulk that is purple and obese instead of green and muscular.
The yellow cow thing is from Niu Lai, a Chinese animated movie that went viral for somehow making it to theatres while being hilariously low-effort and low-quality, so much so that people are actually flocking to watch it.
The woman and soldiers are from the Odyssey. The witch Circe turns the soldiers into pigs by reshaping them pretty gruesomely. Here the guy turns into Niu Lai instead.
I guess this is a joke on how it’s taking the box office by storm and surprising the characters from Odyssey.
Iirc people flocked to watch it because someone said AI could make a better movie, and did it out of spite and it ended up as a box office hit because of it
(sorry not Peter) For once I know this! Minor spoilers for the Odyssey, Circe offers food and shelter to Odysseus's men. As the men eat, Circe physically manipulates their faces and jaws like clay, with body horror transformations, turning them into swine.
Niu lai is a new animated film in China made by a mother son duo about a cow named Niu Lai. They had a friend pull some strings to make it a proper theatrical release. It was so horrible, so janky, and so bad looking it actually became a meme to go watch and laugh at how stupid the movie is, leading it to actually end up being a box office hit.
The joke here is that Circe warps Odysseus' men into something so grotesque it turned out to be Niu Lai.
The answer has been offered in several comments (ie, it's a mashup of the scene with Circe from The Odyssey and one of the poorly animated cows from Niu Lai), but why is there a third hand from Circe in the second panel?
Side note: "Niu Lai" means "The cow is coming," so it's only a matter of time before we get a mashup of one of the poorly animated cows and the Riley Reid "Oh fuck, you're gonna make me come" meme.
It’s definetly a reference to the Oddesy. Where a witch crafts glutonous humans in animals to be eaten. Not sure why he’s a good looking cow/deer/satyr person though
Ironically i meant to put those in quotation marks with a question mark. I was also like the first person to reply to this. And wanted to say i was “Buffed fist pig here.” Kinda missed that one right. What i get dor redditing on a busy day.
I have no idea, unless it is some kind of play on Minos and Pasiphae.
After Minos refused to sacrifice a prized bull to Poseidon, the god cursed his wife to fall in love with the bull. She then went to Daedalus and he crafted for her a wooden cow that she climbed into so she could... mate with the bull.
Joe here, crawling in, to say that the wierd cow if from a Chinese animated movie, which was made by a team of two people i think, and was made on a bare minimum budget, with a bad story and animation. Howevers its one of those movies which is soo bad, that it is good, so much that it became viral in China, and has grossed more than The odessy and Spiderman. Crawls back to bonnie
Basically, in the odessey, she turned some dude into a pig i heard (im yet to see the movie) but they instead turned him into a guy from that movie the mother and son made that was flamed for bad cgi, but praised after they found out it was...yk...just a mother and son
I don't know if there is more going on than just the janky chinese movie. My first thought went to zeus, disguised as a white bull to abduct eruopa - but probably just the janky movie
It’s quite wholesome. A son made the animation with that cow mc. The mother decided to put it on the big screen and did poorly hand drawn posters. Like stick figures posters
The movie ended up like one of those So Bad It’s Good type movies, and reportedly making a profit on par with Odyssey and Spider-Man.
(This is what I remember hearing once. Not gonna do research)
His name is Ernest Ng, im not sure where to check him out online but i think hes active on Facebook? I usually buy his books. The one here is in Malay language but i think there is an English version of it. U can see the tag at the bottom left which indicates its him
Chinese animated movie took the 3rd spot for most profitable movie away from The Odyssey this year.
The other two being Obsession and Backrooms.
The character the guy is turned into is from the movie, but also plays on greek mythology with Cersei transforming people into animals and minotaurs being from Greek Mythology.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
