I have something incredibly inflammatory to say. As someone who has read The Odyssey 4 times and in 4 different translations… Spiderman was better.

No but you’re right. People who never read the source material love it because they don’t know what they’re missing

I’ve only read it once in one translation and was severely disappointed because it wasn’t “The Odyssey” there was barely any myth and mysticism it should’ve just been called Odysseus or something because then I wouldn’t have felt lied to when I didn’t get the Nobody scene with Polyphemus or the bag of winds betrayal. But yeah, Spider Man was better & it opened up for a lot of cool comic plot lines.

It’s all of the film bros and Nolan nerds who like it. I’m a huge lit nerd and The Odyssey is so overglazed.

Just because you want a movie adaptation to be a direct 1-to-1 copy of the book it’s based on doesn’t mean other people who are normal are wrong lmao
