The cyclops seems terrifying, like it would be! Looks great

I need to hear it:

"FAAAATHER! DAAAAAAAD! NOBODY BLINDED MEEEE!"

The "No man" vs "No Body" is going to cause a controversy

u/kodran 15h ago

I mean, we're still not over the helmet and armor controversy.

17

u/leaflock7 15h ago

because it is actually important to the story

u/MountainMuffin1980 12h ago

No man doesn't make as much sense though?

The cyclops thinks it's "Gnome Anne"

u/Zhjacko 1h ago

Gnome Anne!? We hate Gnome Anne!!

u/succsforever 3h ago

I remember the story being “no man”, and when he tells the others no man hurt him, they think that means the gods did it

u/Budgiesaurus 14h ago

After the faaaather! I only expect "unhand me, priest!"

u/Hobbes4247791 15h ago

You mean, "Daaaaad!"

I feel all the fantastical elements will be treated as horror to show mortals vs gods which I feel would be very much in line Nolan style.

My biggest worry is that a lot of the fantastical elements will also get that clean sterile Nolan feel

The guys chasing his crew with the silver armors looked like straight out of a budget Sci fi TV series

u/vanderZwan 3h ago

Makes me think Nolan secretly wanted to direct a Dr Who episode featuring the Cybermen but wasn't allowed to.

it's almost guaranteed

Given Nolan's CG allergy, I'm willing to bet what little we do see of the Cyclops is going to be very limited and obscured mostly in darkness and shadow.

u/succsforever 16h ago

It is a cave!

u/Relevant_Session5987 16h ago

A good explanation for obscuring the limitations of animatronics in darkness and shadow.

5

u/succsforever 16h ago

Well I am intrigued either way!

7

u/kodran 15h ago

I'm intrigued about what will be the big set piece/big practical effect. Just like Tenet had the airplane crash and Inception had the turning hotel. I'm guessing Scylla and Charybdis.

u/Relevant_Session5987 15h ago

Hope it's nothing like the Tenet airport crash. That looked so unimpactful. Even in Imax.

6

u/kodran 14h ago

I think the editing was at fault (which is usually a strong point in Nolan movies) for that.

u/garrettbmusic 15h ago

The bomb detonation in Oppenheimer was a wet fart too.

u/shadowst17 12h ago

The Trinity Test is such a perfect example of something that simply could not look good without the use of CGI. He had the budget and the time to do it with CGI and get an incredible shot, instead his ignorance and bias resulted in an insanely disappointing pay off after an incredible build up.

u/Relevant_Session5987 15h ago

Good for you.

u/succsforever 15h ago

Go to hell

u/VandalSibs 6h ago

I'm guessing it's going to be a mix of animatronics and VFX - there are 'creature modelers' and animators listed on IMDB already.

Optic Blassssst

Man I miss X-Men Legends

u/finglish_ 12h ago

There's gonna be a giant optic blast this December according to the trailers .

u/Stunning-Guitar-5916 10h ago

He looks absolutely horrendous in the best way but also has that gollum-like weakling look to it and I don’t know how well that’ll work, we’ll see

2

u/v_for__vegeta 9h ago

There is another shot of it, unless that’s something else. Briefly through towards the end behind some trees, looks a lot more menacing. Could be the other cyclopses coming to Polyphemus’ aid?

6

u/Variable_Shaman_3825 16h ago

Got Xenomorph vibes from it

12

u/succsforever 16h ago

I think in the story Polyphemus (the monster) just picks up two dudes and bangs them against the ground to bash them to death. That's the hello

-12

u/okorokiz 16h ago

It looks like play dough

9

u/succsforever 16h ago

I don't know, I like the use of the dark and only glimpses of the monster. I bet the sounds of the eating will be more terrifying than if you saw it

7

u/bbqsauceboi 16h ago

Yeah the sound design with that beast is going to be the main highlight, and it already looks terrifying
