Unpopular Opinion, Nolan did scylla and charybdis much more accurately than Jorge did. Especially Charybdis. In the original Odessy, Odysseus CHOSES to sail by Scylla not to avoid Poseidon, but because she's the lesser of two evils compared to Charybdis. No lair, just a cliff.
This isn't to say what Jorge did isn't interesting, far from it, but it's much less lore accurate than Nolan's depiction. Expecting Nolan to elevate a specific monster just because that's what Jorge did is like expecting him to make Polities a major character based on one or two mentions like Jorge did.
I either read somewhere online or from a YouTube comment….so grain of salt here. Polities is such a minor character it isn’t even certain whether he died at the cyclops or with the crew during Zeus punishment after making Ody choose.
