Why the scores diverge

Tower Heist highlight: The dialogue occasionally leans into social commentary about Wall Street greed but remains largely natural and story-driven.
The Odyssey: Significant rearrangement and re-centering of the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy sequence shifts the narrative focus toward Odysseus's guilt, marking a clear legacy rewriting from Homer’s original epic.
Tower Heist: Some characters appear to be included to represent diverse working-class backgrounds, though they mostly serve the plot without heavy tokenism.
