hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"
like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause
If you look at it objectively, not "that's bad, that's good" but "why would someone do that?", you realise it's very coherent.
Nolan is an auteur, a director with a creative vision and style clear from movie to movie.
He wants to use pre-numeric and pre-CGI things, hence the animatronics, and the plastic skeletons, whatever the case. That means going against Hollywood trend and going against legislation, I don't think he sees a difference.
Same for the rest, he has his vision, which is often misogynistic (women were never treated well in Nolan movies), so he ignored the original text if he didn't liked it.
If you consider that Nolan is a stubborn man with a big ego and a legendary status in Hollywood, every controversy make sense, whatever he's doing is stroking his ego in one way or another.
