Nolan decided to cut out the "Nobody" scene from the cyclops encounter, which is crazy to me. Its such an important part of the story for so many reasons!

First of all, the Nobody idea is one of Odysseus' most famous tricks and it really portrays his best qualities. He is cautious and canny, and so he does not use his name, instead names himself Nobody. Then, that caution pays off when it lets them escape the other cyclopses.

I haven't seen the movie, do I don't know what happens, but him not naming himself implies there was very little conversation between Odysseus and Polyphemus. Odysseus is famous for his ability and willingness to talk his way out of a situation. He tried to reason with Ployphemus and it didn't work, so he tricked him with the wine and the sheep.

Then the scene also shows his biggest flaw, his pride. Once he gets to the ship, he taunts Polyphemus several times, causing him to throw rocks and it nearly destroys the shop. Then he reveals his name, even knowing Polyphemus is the son of Poesiden. If he had left without revealing his name at all, Poesiden would have never known it was Odysseus that hurt his son. So Odysseus' cleverness wins the day, then his pride makes him loose everything, which is a recurring theme in the poem! He has to overcome that pride to get home again!

Cutting it from the movie is ridiculous.

ALSO ODYSSEUS LITERALLY JUST GOES TO TROY HE JUST GOESSSSSSSS they don’t even TRY to put baby telemachus in the paper shredder he just dips without a fuss. they change odysseus hanging the maids to penelope kicking melantho out for girlboss reasons and they TOOK AWAY MY BAG OF WIND #mybagofwind they also took away the dipshit that falls off of circe’s roof and dies. deeply shallow meaningless movie.
