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.

like i get the angle nolan is trying to do for the odyssey (2026)-war is bad, don’t do war, just live a peaceful life with your wife blah blah blah-but it’s just the most boring interpretation you can have of the odyssey in my opinion.

the odyssey was not a moral punishment on odysseus for war crimes, it’s a punishment by the gods for him being a prick. i find the story of a guy who by all accounts should be beat down by the gods constantly get out of it and try to get around them. and of course finally capitulating and being rewarded, but before that being a really badass cunning guy.

the odyssey (2026) strips away everything to tell a pretty standard war story where we have a very honorable stand up guy who regrets his war crimes and is being punished for them.

also the gods are just weirdly depicted in a very christian way where they really care about mortals when in greek mythology they’re way more careless and unconcerned unless they’re bothered specifically-like the entire trojan war was started by the gods???

top five times i've fallen down stairs

1. first grade, my top front adult teeth had just come in, i fell down the school stairs and somehow they went back up. it took 12 years of dental care to fix the damage. 10/10 phenomenal fall. how did i do that

2. just got to the gym, havent even started. fell down and twisted my ankle. was super embarrassed and wanted to prove to all the bystanders i was fine. so i went on the treadmill. ran for five minutes. screwed my ankle so bad it took a year to heal lmao. 9/10 who does that. insane behavior

3. it was dark, icy, and i just got off work. slipped and landed on gravel. realised i still had the work keys. ran back to deliver them to the next shift. realised too late that i was covered in blood. 8/10 for an unforgettable entrance

4. At high school. missed a step and made a 'goat sound' as i fell. everyone made goat sounds at me for months after that. 6/10 ouch but at least it was funny

5. twisted my ankle on my work stairs. i was working at a middle school. a bunch of 5th graders saw me. draw your own conclusions. 4/10 #5thgradersaremean

Mim we are getting so many lore drops today between making a fictional character a whore of a man

He was already a whore in spirit we’re just making it real

listen it's not that I think epic the musical is a perfect adaption of the odyssey but it was an impressive passion project that knew what it wanted to be and knew what people gravitated to in the original work and it put significant effort into conveying this through its unique medium and tone to the point that hundreds of other people felt compelled to put effort into their own artistic interpretations of that version of the story. and that's really cool! and yes I would be more critical if it was a 100 million dollar project made by a professional because what the fuck do you mean you're a world-famous director and you cut the my name is nobody scene are you goddamn serious

[jeyneofpoole]

nolan’s odyssey is such a textbook study on the idiocy and dangers of presentism. yes of course penelope is a modern day feminist who wants to rule ithaca by herself. they make telemachus say that GREECE IS THE GREATEST CIVILIZATION IN THE WORLD as if the entire point of the massing of achaeans at troy for one unified cause isn’t spectacular precisely because THERE IS NO CONCEPT OF A UNIFIED GREECE NATIONS DO NOT EXISTTTTTT YETTTTT. literally 101 on historical writing is making sure that you’re avoiding strict periodization because the people living in a “period” will not identify themselves that way. ever. five million cheeky nods to “the sea peoples” but we’re being cute and coy and calling them “the people from the sea.” the obsession with xenia but refusal to call it xenia yes let’s say “zeus’s law” a hundred times and reduce it to the literal expectation that any stranger could be a god in disguise. how was penelope just hanging out in the main hall of the palace with her husband’s dinner guests while they were playing with weapons with her HAIR COMPLETELY DOWN no veil no nothing just chilling casually. comical. stoppppp making movies that engage in historical viewpoints if you’re going to slather a modernized coat of paint over the top. “the past is a foreign country, they do things differently there.” or fucking whatever.

i can understand changing elements of a story for an adaption (and im a big advocate for this! no adaptation can or should ever strive to be completely faithful to its source material) however. cutting the nobody part from the odyssey is a huge indicator that you have fundamentally misunderstood odysseus as a character i fear
