    I’m a super taster as well. Raw onion is a hard no for me, but caramelized onions are like a cheat code for making every meal delicious.

    But you’ve got the artificial sweetener thing backwards. Super tasters tend to prefer real sugar and find the fake stuff cloying and unpleasant. I’d bite into an onion like it was an apple before I’d drink a diet soda.

    Also, mayo is delicious.

    I saw it in IMAX, and I honestly don’t think it would have mattered to me if I’d seen it in a regular theater. It still feels like an event that would be missing something if I’d seen it at home first, but it was lacking any real visual spectacle. It’s a well-made film, but there were no blockbuster holy shit eyecandy moments.

    That’s one of two major gripes I have with the movie.

    My second gripe is entirely to do with a pretty egregious diversion from the source material, specifically with Athena. Zendaya is great, but Athena is supposed to wear a helmet. That’s her whole look. Having a helmetless Athena is like if they’d given the cyclops two eyes.

    So your lack of knowledge about the source material won’t work against you, and seeing it on a small screen should be fine if that’s what you’re into.
