Scholars say Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey botched one character

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is smashing it at the box office, but not everyone is cheering. Per /Film, classical scholars have a beef with the director's take on one specific character, claiming the adaptation ruined the figure from Homer's epic.

Despite the scholarly side-eye, the mega-budget flick had a monster opening weekend. /Film broke down five reasons why the movie crushed it, though they didn't name the allegedly ruined character in their report. So if you're wondering which ancient hero or god got the short end of the Nolan treatment, you'll have to wait for the full scholarly takedown.

Either way, the cash register is ringing louder than a Cyclops's roar. Even academics can't stop that train.
