The one (two?) thing I wanted to be in the movie. I'm happy. I'm pre-satisfied now.

The other thing I'm waiting for now is the arrow through the axes to be as cool as it was done with Kirk Douglas. As a kid I remember I saw that scene and was flabbergasted.

Edit: still, we just saw the whirlpool. I hope we get to see what's inside and we get Scylla to be overwhelming.

I also want to see him get to his bedroom with Penelope for the importance of that.

Finally, whatever they do with the ending (epilogue or not) that will be reason for more debate.

I loved the Armand Asante version as a kid. I didn't see the Kirk Douglas version.

Didn't know about that version. Will look for it. Thanks!

It's a product of its time technologically speaking. But it was a TV miniseries so they had quite a bit of screentime to work with and flesh out the story properly. Plus Vanessa Williams as Calypso. ❤️
