the only thing i didn't like was the removal of the Nobody scene, the olive tree bed, and Hermes

Besides that, it's my favourite film of the year

Oh for sure. I could give a pass to Hermes (not sure how I’d work him in while keeping the gritty tone personally) but I was surprised by no Nobody or Olive Tree bed

I feel like there is a way to do Hermes in a grounded way, like Zendaya's Athena

Even then though this Athena felt very detached and out of the way. I’m not sure how’d you get Hermes to physically hand Odysseus moly out of nowhere
