andrew minyard never skips therapy. his best friend is a born-again knife-wielding christian ex-gangster. his other best friend is a 6'2" lacrossehockey prodigy/recovering alcoholic with a face tattoo. he doesn't smile. his situationship got him to stop doing drugs by buying him a maserati. he didn't meet his own twin brother until they were fifteen years old. he's been to jail. he is five feet even. he's the best goalie in the league and he couldn't care less. he gets in the shower fully clothed to give neil josten a blowjob. he's a chainsmoking pro athlete. he killed his own mother. he's getting a criminal justice degree as a joke. he picked the guy with a dozen fake names and a mafioso daddy to be with forever. he's a scorpio. the closest thing he's ever had to a father is his college exy coach. he loves hot chocolate and ice cream and clubbing with his cousin.

andrew minyard character of all time.

I think it's funny when people act like Odysseus was the only one causing trouble during the Palladium heist. Like yeah, what he did was arguably worse, but depending on the myth, Daddymedes isnt innocent either. Odysseus helped him get over the walls, and when Odysseus asked for help in return, Diomedes left him 😭😭🥀🥀 And then when he came back, Daddymedes lied and said the Palladium in his hands that was actively moving was fake. Like they were both feeling evil that night. That's really gay of them. It makes sense why Diomedes would spank Odysseus with the flat of his sword to punish him. I like women

Odysseus's grandpa was Autolycus, right, a man so good at stealing that post-Homeric sources pin him down as a son of Hermes. THE GOD OF THIEVES among other things. Autolycus' whole bit was stealing stuff and then MAGICALLY CHANGING WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE so you couldn't even prove it was yours. so Odysseus is a professional thief's professional thief grandson, blessed by the actual patron deity of theft and trickery. this is the resume. and Diomedes' plan was "cool, I'll bring the THIRD GENERATION THEFT PRODIGY along to help me sneak into a fortified enemy city and steal a sacred idol, and then once we're in, I will simply. do the professional theft myself. and leave his short ass outside." help me god he brought a Ferrari to carry his groceries and then walked home. this is literally a heist movie where the mastermind gets iced by his own guy in the third act. king shit, ngl ngl

Sure it is all about faithful adaptations right?

Nolan: I am going to create the most faithful adaptation of the Odyssey of all time!

Me: Oh my that's fantastic! Are you telling me that we are going to finally see the amazing bronze age or early iron age armors, the intricate clothing and the colors and the plumes and...

Nolan: Ppfft! Don't be ridiculous! Actually we did consider that Greek guy that made historical armors but it doesn't matter. We'll just have the same generic designs of armor from Hollywood the past 20 or so years no problem.

Me: But...you said...okay at least we will have Greek actors? You know actually represent the people of the epic poem? Give visibility to them and all?

Nolan: Of course not! Why would I do that? I casted the usual crew that is trending on social media. They are good actors of course!

Me: Oh gosh...will they at least...you know...look like they belong there?

Nolan: Nope. My goal is my film to look like the average day in NY city square! I MIGHT consider some Greek actors...I guess! Maybe...

Me: But?

Nolan: But most likely some random background character that no one will ever see I guess! I mean we still need extras that no one will ever see right?

Me: *wince* But...w-why...I thought... Okay you know what never-mind. Will they at least represent accurately the Mediterranean sea?

Nolan: Meh...I guess...some of it. I mean I despise CGI so if it doesn't look exactly like that well...we will have to cope

Me: But...the Mediterranean is a real region...you can just... Alright please tell me that you will at least follow the plot you know...monsters and gods etc..

Nolan: Of course! Can you have the Odyssey without monsters?

Me: Okay...phew...

Nolan: Buuuuut no gods.

Me: ... excuse me...no gods?

Nolan: But...gods are not real right? I want my film to be realistic!

Me: I thought you said "faithful"...

Nolan: Nope I sure didn't.

Me: So...cyclops is fine...but gods are not...? And that is both "realistic" AND "faithful"...?

Nolan: Oh I ain't removing them completely! They will be like dreams and games of the consciousness of Odysseus! Especially Athena. To teach him a lesson to have faith to the gods.

Me: Odysseus...HAVE FAITH...? Nolan...Odysseus was arguably one of the most religious heroes of all what are you-... Dialogs at least...following the book somehow?

Nolan: Modern dialogs what are you talking about? Totally showing the true length of their characters!

Me: Oh my...like what...!?

Nolan: Odysseus for example; He says that not even gods can stop him in my film! Very IC indeed...

Me: ... Please at least tell me you follow the plot SOMEHOW...come on my man!

Nolan: Sure I mean we start at Ithaca like the Odyssey

Me: Okay...that goes good that's fine..

Nolan: But obviously Penelope will have to be speaking about taking the throne or how unfair life is because we have to be more woman-centric given that Homer clearly didn't care enough to let us know how she feels...

Me: ...

Nolan: I mean we have Mentor and all but do not get too attached... And yeah we do have Ismarus things because of course we need to be realistic and show the evil world of ancient times is but...no Lotus Eaters

Me: Why...?

Nolan: We don't need them! Odysseus will be drugging himself with them at the isle of Calypso...

Me: You know in the Odyssey, Odysseus is not the one using drugs, Nolan...

Nolan: Ah you mean that evil violent husband Menelaus? Well we do want to be more realistic so Menelaus just wants to take his wife back so he scars her...

Me: Menelaus?!...H-Helen...? What on earth...?!

Nolan: Well or make fun of her disfigurment anyways

Me: What the actual fuck...?!

Nolan: Anyway as I was saying...We have the cyclops obviously. You can't have the Odyssey without him...

Me: True...and that ingenious plan of the "Nobody" introduction...

Nolan: Hahaha no we are not doing that!

Me: ...

Me: Excuse me...what?!

Nolan: But of course! It doesn't fit as a pun for English speakers! See how much respect I show to the Greeks?

Me: But...how can you have an Odyssey without...like what's next?! That we will have Odysseus actually spare some of the suitors, Circe not being a seductress and like...what? No bed recognition scene!? Hahahahaha

Nolan: I mean...exactly.

Me: Wait...WHAT?!

Nolan: And maybe I am going to kill off one or two people during the Siren passage...

Me: ...

Nolan: Now that I think about it maybe just maybe the Greek language will be used as a "foreign language" you know...because no one understands it and all

Me: The original language...of the poem...? The one the heroes are supposed to speak too...will be symbolizing a....

Nolan: And Odysseus and Penelope will sail together for symbolism in the end maybe! I told you it is a realistic adaptation! The most faithful Odyssey so far!

Me: okay no offense, Chris...but...have you...in fact read any of the book with your own two eyes?

Nolan: But of course! I even have a favorite translator...

Me: Well I'll be damned...

Nolan: I told you! The most FAITHFUL adaptation. Hardly any difference from the book! Picturing the culture it represents perfectly!

Me: Right....

Nolan: And of course you know cinematography and music are gonna be simply...epic.

Me: Well at least we have SOMETHING to expect...

King Icarius of Sparta teaching his daughter Penelope how to walk.

"I did not realise then, that the steps I taught you to take would one day lead you to walking far away from me"

i thought the “this is the face that launched a thousand ships, although now it would maybe be five-hundred.” line was just an internet joke but apparently that's a line Menelaus actually says in Nolan's Odyssey??

Not only that the language itself sounds straight out of a marvel forcibly funny haha moment, but Menelaus? The Menelaus who all thoughout human history, from Homer, to Sappho, to Euripides, to Virgil, to Shakespeare, to Brooke, to Barth; from Classical vases to Medieval poetry to Reinessance art, has been known as the man whose sword fell from his hands at the sight of his wife after 10 years apart?

"What joy for me to hold my wife" Menelaus?

"He flung the sword away, and kissed her feet" Menelaus?

"I believe all. I understand nothing. I love you" Menelaus?

"I have no fault to find; my wife, he daughter of Zeus and Leda, is mine again, she whom her brothers on their snow-white steeds, whilst torches blazed, made my happy bride, but gods removed her from my home." Menelaus?

The Menelaus who was picked out of the suitors by Helen herself? The Menelaus who couldn't kill a begging Trojan so his brother had to do it for him? The Menelaus who rescued Odysseus and got out Patroclus' body? The Menelaus who volounteered to fight Paris one on one so everybody could go home? Who kept expressing his guilt about himself being the cause of war through every assembly he spoke at in the Iliad? Who after 10 years away at Troy, took his wife through a 7-year long journey at sea back home, where he reinstated her as the queen of Sparta? Who wept like a child in front of Telemachus recalling the war and his brother and all the friends he lost and the only consolation being his wife' gentle hand on his?

You want me to believe that man scarred Helen's face and called her only worth half the ships because of it?

I'm actually physically sick just thinking about it.

#FR #THAT WAS CRAZY #WHAT DID MENELAUS EVER DO TO YOU??#like Nolan just made all that up #and for what?#why cant helen be happy?

yall Agamemnon wants to go home, just ya wait till the camp will hear about this

whencartoonsruletheworld

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

#i think so #im so conflicted over it #because the effects were really really good #but the characterizations and the ending is just so trash #it was close to be good #except for the pollution stuff #thats messed up #odyssey movie

The question is, if you’re so hellbent on your protagonist being ‘too cool to believe in the gods’, why would you go for adapting greek mythology in the first place?

catcher-in-the-reeds

And why would you have the protagonist mention the period in which the story is set explicitly and not make anything in the movie look like it's from that period?!

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.
