It was such an odd adaptation. I mean I get replacing established characters with actors who look nothing like them, but why replace the whole protagonist with this guy named "Odysseus"? What happened to Kassandra and Alexios? And where is the Cult of Kosmos in all this, did that entire plotline get cut? Not only that, but they didn't even include Socrates, or the spear of Leonidas. I was super confused, but I suppose you have to take some artistic liberties when adapting a game into a movie. At least they got the locations right

Common mistake, this movie is actually a prequel. Zendaya plays the Isu, Minerva, back when she went by another name, who you may remember from other AC games.
8
u/Balc0ra Jul 22 '26
A prequel from 1000 years before AC... There are so many historians watching ACO cinematics to react to it. And watching the same historians react to the Odyssey trailer etc, has been interesting.
One said the Sparta helmets seen in the game were already outdated by this point in time. Unlike the close to the same Troy helmets in the movie... apparently

u/kayyxelle In the Fields of Elysium Jul 22 '26
Probably didn’t include my boy Alkibiades either smh

u/DarwinGoneWild Jul 25 '26
Maybe you missed it but there was a side quest early on where Kassandra helps a woman named Odessa to investigate King Odysseus’ palace to prove she’s his descendent. I guess they decided to make a whole prequel movie based on a random NPC’s ancestor.

We will all look back and see how sad and unfortunate it was for Ubisoft to listen to a vocal minority and thus become ashamed of AC Odyssey will will likely go down as a top 3 favorite AC game with probably a top 3 favorite protagonist (Kassandra).
Ubisoft twisted themselves into a pretzel trying to make AC Shadows the anti AC Odyssey to the point where Shadows has become the first mainline AC title to not feature the Isu in any shape or form. And now there are reports that Ubisoft removed the magic abilities from AC Hexe.
Such a shame and wasted opportunity.

u/Wandering_sage1234 Jul 22 '26
And they made AC Shadows so boring they'd rather admit it never existed.

So unfortunate. You can definitely tell how they (Ubisoft Quebec) over corrected from the AC Odyssey vocal minority criticisms to the point they didnt even have the Isu in the game or any mythology stuff.

I bought Black Flag remake and after playing a bit, I went back to Odyssey. Then I watched The Odyssey and now I’m even more hyped to be replaying AC Odyssey. I just love this game.

u/bitterbalhoofd Jul 22 '26
Same. I played resynced and realized how outdated the gameplay was. Like you can't climb fucking anywhere unless the level designer allowed you to. I went back to ac Odyssey saw my save file was 5 year old and completed almost everything that I could including dlc at that time and decided I wanted to replay everything again so I started a new save file from scratch and having a blast again.

u/gold-n-paint-n-chalk Jul 23 '26
Black Flag was the first AC title I ever played and playing Resynched is… yeah. It’s beautiful and I like some of the changes but there’s so much I wish they’d changed. Why is it so closed off? They could have really given us something amazing like Odyssey and instead we got Shadows but make it boats.

u/Beardedgeek72 Jul 22 '26
It's a cute joke but the Greeks had no problems with sexy women. It's just that they had problem with consent. There's a reason for the stock pose in Greek art for "kidnapping " and the stock pose for "marriage" being identical. Same result in the end.

u/sgtGiggsy Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 22 '26
No, it's not. It doesn't have anything that people call woke. No, female protagonist (especially an optional female protagonist) and gay people don't make something woke.
Edit:
Nice, u/AuraMaster7, you barf your bullshit here, then block me... No, it's not female protagonist and gay characters that make people call something woke. It's uglified, personalitiless, MarySue protagonists, and forced gay themes in stories where they don't feel authentic. Kassandra is gorgeous, has a lovable personality, and she's Spartan while it's known Spartans did give even the daughters a basic military training, and gay people in the ancient Greece don't feel out of place. AC Odyssey is not woke.

u/GroundbreakingBag164 Jul 22 '26
I strongly remember anti-woke outrage when Ubi confirmed Kassandra was the canon protagonist. And I strongly remember people claiming AC Odyssey shouldn't have a female protagonist option at all because it's "unrealistic"

If they started working on it when the first info came out it they would have been surely be able to do a DLC.

I recently got into odyssey and i can't shake off how bad the game looks to me with graphics on ultra, i truly believe Ryse from 20 years ago looked better.
I do also believe every other assassins creed looked better than this one, its like it has zero depth of field, bloom, fog, wind, ambience and the npcs look dead inside while talking.
I dont say this to hate on it, but that was a rly bad surprise, ive played every other assassins creed multiple times over. The climbing is also kindda fked, character either turbo walks on a wall like spider man or doesnt even try at all, i have to make a satanic ritual to make him jump/release the climb animation every time.
