Anyway I'm back on my bullshit!
You guys I'm absolutely insane about the 1997 Odyssey two parter, like sure they made some choices (and has the funniest Poseidon) (Every bit of CGI in there is a little bit funny) But!!
Alone the way he looks at Telemachus makes me forget anything bad happened in this movie
That's a man that wants to stay home!! He doesn't know about the impending doom that awaits him!! He doesn't know within moments of this people WILL drag him away, he doesn't know his family will suffer Endlessly yet!!
And he's SO done by the end
He's a man with a drive to go home, but he is reminded endlessly that he's just that - one man.
The pain in his eyes when Telemachus doesn't recognise him (WITHOUT DISGUISE!!) Heartbreaking, sobbing loudly. His only son, holding a weapon towards him and there is nothing he can do about it.
Or the little hold he has on Telemachus after all the bloodshed, the quiet "Tell your mother I'm home" Kills me EVERY TIME
He's home, he's made it home and he'll never leave again
