Tom holland as Telemachus was a bad casting choice. Love him as spider man though
@ritokazoriv
August 3, 2026 at 3:16 pm
Gotta disagree, I didn’t see much wrong with his portrayal. What made him a bad cast in your eyes? His casting may have had more to done with his name than him fitting the role perfectly, I can give you that.
@abirchatterjee7224
August 3, 2026 at 4:30 pm
@ritokazoriv No i disagree with you. His portrayal of telemachus was not really up to the mark. It could be the director’s fault that he didn’t know that already.

Hitting legal adult age would’ve led to the Esteemed Guests killing him to get him out of the way, makes sense for the character to act younger than he is to survive until his father is back. Seems like Tom played it right.
@short.abundance
August 3, 2026 at 9:52 pm
I mean, they did try to do that
That did happen
@camillemarii
August 3, 2026 at 11:02 pm
@short.abundance lmao fair yes but inheritance was a factor and they likely would’ve made attempts earlier if they knew his age.
Idk if any of this is true, I haven’t seen the film and it’s been 15 years since I read the Odyssey. I’m just running on memory and giving my man an excuse
@short.abundance
August 3, 2026 at 11:37 pm
@camillemariibut the written odyssey also had Odysseus leave when Telemachus was still an infant which means that after twenty years absence they would know that Telemachus is at least old enough to be king
@camillemarii
August 4, 2026 at 3:09 am
It is simple math but I’m not accounting for the suitors intelligence
@dosomestuff1949

When he first said “I’m looking for my DAD”, I knew the part would fail, and it did. Not his fault, the writer and director for sure.

August 4, 2026 at 1:06 am
Telemachus does act like a 16 year old, so I’d say it’s a happy accident.

@juicebox5883
August 6, 2026 at 6:28 am
He lacked a father figure all that time so being a bit more naive for his age is completely realistic. Coming into his own in real time after his dad comes back is perfect.

Tom did fine but he definitely played it like he was younger. It would be hilarious if he really thought he was supposed to be 16 😂

He had to say ‘dad’ because he can’t say Father without the British accent.

I’m amazed he didn’t have the age conversation with Nolan before filming.
@craigcox3786
August 8, 2026 at 1:41 am
Because Nolan is Hollywood now.
He’s discussing budgets and salaries and back-end.
Even choosing the odyssey is a big cop
out. “We’ll have a big budget and shoot on IMAX!”
Donna Langley and the “vibe-first” studio head mentality is to blame.
Also tom holland sucked in this movie.

@sylvia1001vi
August 6, 2026 at 9:29 pm
That is not Tom’s fault.
How come the director did not gave the actors the background story of the characters they are playing? That is weird, i know some directors give their actors like a lot of pages n details about their character down DOB, star sign, how they walk, talk, etc, to help the actors get into their characters fully

My question is still why was he not old enough to take the throne if he was 22..
@patrickduval2312

The same reason she was procrastinating with a suitor, because they believed Odysseus was still alive.
@jayjayDrm
August 7, 2026 at 1:27 pm
that actually was obe of the few flaws in the film. in some flashbacks actors didn’t look that younger, which was hard to follow.

@Niceone1998
August 8, 2026 at 6:21 am
I bet you 100 bucks, that was Nolan gaslighting lol.
He always says everything has to serve a purpose. I think the gravitas of Odysseus’s return, would not have felt as satisfying, if Tom had carried a 22 year olds persona. Gen Z these days are a lot more comfortable in themselves, compared to that traditional hierarchy of the Bronze Age, which us as viewers would have projected and felt weird about he’s inabilities. It’s always so much more heartbreaking when you watch kids meet their parents after a long stint being abroad.
Nolan will always push he’s own narrative (specifically epics), if it means he’s making a movie more emotionally
succinct to the audiences own, subconscious experiences

In Tom’s defense, I can see a 22 year old behaving like a 16 year old if no father figure is around.
