The “nobody” scene in the odyssey is absolutely not just a clever pun—it’s a character defining moment for Odysseus because he refuses to be nobody. He devised an incredible plan that worked and he could have saved his men and returned home much sooner but he just had to yell to the cyclops that he isn’t nobody—he’s Odysseus, king of Ithaca so now Poseidon knows who to curse which severely fucks up the rest of the journey.

The “nobody” scene highlights both Odysseus’s cleverness but also his arrogance and those two traits define Odysseus throughout the entire story. It’s a foundational aspect of Odysseus’s character and cutting the scene displays a shocking level of ignorance and disregard for the themes in the source material.

the odyssey (2026)

[whencartoonsruletheworld]

ohhh my god I just fact-checked, Nolan actually DID cut the "Nobody" scene from his Odyssey movie. Mfer that is like cutting the Father reveal from Star Wars. Let me speak in a language you understand this is like not dressing Batman up in his suit. "It was not possible to work it in" the TikTok musical with a budget of $4 and a scratched Hamilton CD managed to work it in in SONG form, step up your FUCKING GAME

[tris-morreu]

nolan's the odyssey has such a fundamentally culturally christian understanding of religion and divinity that it is genuinely jarring to see characters in a supposedly ancient greek historical context describe divinity and its expression in those terms. characters wonder aloud why gods hide themselves (they didn't), question the existence of what nolan interprets the supernatural to be (they wouldn't) and talk of zeus's law (not real, and still somehow bastardized) in the same way we would talk about the ten commandments. it's so out of place. and it taps into that "defy the gods" thing.

like. we can defy the christian god, in a way, because we can choose to not do what he says we ought to. sure. but we cannot defy greek gods in the same way, because the god is not just an entity that commands you but the very thing you are doing. apollo does not just send plagues, he is plague. you know apollo is real because there is plague. plague is not apollo acting in the world, it is an instance of apollo, in the same way that insight is athena, love is aphrodite, harvest is demeter, storms are zeus. gods are not commanding nature and sending signs and acting upon the world, because signs and nature and human nature are themselves the gods. the gods cannot be absent, because we still get ideas, and harvest, and go to war, and feel desire, and hunt. the gods cannot be defied because you cannot defy "getting ideas" or "harvesting" or "having sex" or "dying." to attempt to is entirely futile. like you cannot defy poseidon because you cannot defy the sea. you cannot defy aphrodite because you cannot defy love and reproduction. nature and human nature are unbeatable, and so the gods are unbeatable, because they are nature and human nature.

and it's such a beautiful way of looking at the world, and he just doesn't get that.

since the 2004 spongebob squarepants movie can be considered a retelling of the odyssey, this means that the climax, in which spongebob returns to the krusty krab to fight off the mind controlled bikini bottom denizens and sings goofy goober rock, can be considered a retelling of the scene in which odysseus slaughters penelope’s suitors.

do you think when the twins are reunited vergil uses his boss monster ability to skip past tedious puzzles to meet dante at the top of the tower or whatever to fuck with dante. how ARE you doing that

[strengthofmayhem]

yeah okay like six months post dmc1 in the middle of the devil never cry era dante taking in his dead murdered (he murdered him) brothers son is probably the funniest scenerio. nero 9/10 years old.

canon divergence “nero was there during and survived the attack on kyrie and credo’s parents, triggering his devil bringer like ten years early”. maybe he ran away… hm

[strengthofmayhem]

when his arm began mutating, nero, convinced that he was cursed, snuck onto the ferry off the island and ran away. credo and kyrie were both quite distressed, but in his heart of hearts (and to his deepest darkest shame) credo was also relieved— he didn’t particularly want to take on the responsibility of caring for the child his parents had been fostering on top of suddenly raising his own sister.

[strengthofmayhem]

wherever he met dante, nero was closed lipped about wherever he actually came from, so the order continued to do their nonsense uninvestigated and unmolested.

[strengthofmayhem]

the longer dante doesn't specify how he's connected too (related too) nero (who he picked up on a job) the funnier it is. in the middle of devil never cry era even. he's living with his mom's clone and leaving nero alone to determine what the fuck dante and trish's relationship to each other is too

[strengthofmayhem]

dantes early relationship to trish is really interesting to consider. she's just not got much experience with anything... leaned on him quite a bit before getting her bearings and i think dante really needed to be needed at that time too

[strengthofmayhem]

“being raised by dante au” nero YEARNS to be a big brother and patty loves being fussed over after the initial speed bumps they’d get along great. dante definitely feels a certain way seeing vergil junior over there do the big brother thing though.

[strengthofmayhem]

okay so my opinion in all this in summation is that dante is insane sexually traumatized and loathes nothing more then introspection, no matter what’s going on with him he has accepted that he’s “single” and that’s that on that. vergil’s inability to self reflect hit its peak last month when he ate several hundred thousand people and he has since been forced to self reflect on literal pain of death. he isn’t really socialized enough in Society(tm) to have any particular issue with it tho honestly he just casually tells nero he’s “possibly bisexual” after nero finally decides to at least attempt to explain his polyamorous throuple to him. nero: w— HUH?
