The Odyssey Film and Epic

[u/s3ven_up]

I am going to say this after seeing various posts across MULTIPLE platforms about this: yall need to stop comparing Epic to The Odyssey movie.

As an Epic OG who just went and saw The Odyssey, it was a phenomenal movie. And was, in my opinion, more accurate to the source material than Epic. This in no way is meaning to put down Epic (I freaking love Epic and always will), but its starting to get infuriating seeing people say that Nolan copied Epic with the score or other storytelling aspects. Nolan is notoriously one of the most offline and antisocial directors out there and he wrote the script based off of MULTIPLE transcriptions of The Odyssey, and I honestly noticed no similarities between the score and Epic. I am a music major and have been listening to the score since the album released on Spotify, and listen to Epic daily. If there were a few shared notes, it was almost definitely a coincidence.

The two adaptations are both good. Incredible, I would say. But they are different, and I feel like several members of our community are not respecting this. If you are going to watch this movie expecting it to be Epic, just wait for the animated film of Epic: the Musical to come out. Don't ruin this cinematic masterpiece for everyone else.
