This is why Nolan’s Odyssey sucks
Every story has parts that can be changed and parts that cannot.
Romeo and Juliet can be set in Rio de Janeiro, but it must remain the tragedy of two young lovers. Macbeth can unfold beneath a modern dictatorship, but it must still tell the story of ambition, treachery, and ruin. Antigone can take place under a twentieth-century regime, but it must remain the story of a woman who defies the state to honor a higher law.
The costumes can change. The setting can change. The weapons can change. The language can change. The ideas cannot.
Cross that line and you are no longer adapting the story. You are replacing it. You take an old name, strip out its meaning, bolt on your own, and present the result as though nothing happened. That is not adaptation. It is vandalism. It is a fraud. You are not preserving a myth. You are butchering one.
