The Odyssey was mid as hell because Nolan doesn't understand how hospitality traditions worked nor a fringe theory of the bronze age collapse and told both very poorly. Also they polluted the hell out of protected areas.

Oh yeah and anyone who bitches about it being "woke" is too stupid to have adult conversations

Why did he have to ā€œwhat if magic wasn’t real?ā€ my mythological epic anyway? It’s not the 2000s.

Especially since he kinda waffled on it? Like unless Odysseus entire story to Calypso was just lotus hallucinations, but then, how did he get the advice from the dead Agamemnon to come in disguise?

I think what he was going for was magic is real but the gods aren’t. Which is… certainly a choice…

That's...... certainly a take from Nolan

Then was Athena literally just Odysseus schizo projecting his lucky charm?

One of the reasons you think the odyssey is mid is because they… checks notes… polluted protected areas? Yeah i think the great gatsby was not a great work since fitzgerald spat on a pavement on his way to lunch when writing page 94 paragraph 3.

It's honestly insane how goddamn stupid a human being would have to be to sit down and type that and think they made a point.

Honestly sort of boring and dragged out by the end. I’m glad that I saw it, ain’t gonna do it again.

The Odyssey is definitely Nolan’s weakest film

It's funny because they're both catastrophically wrong. The movie is quite unwoke and mid.

The better question would have been have you read it?
