rightists are mad because non-white people and trans people are playing greek heroes
more normal people are laughing because all the promo footage looks pretty shitty, with space marines and stuff, and the flat bland “current day” netflix lighting
nolanites are defending any and all choices made because “it’s a fantasy movie with monsters but you have problems with ____?”
I just watched the trailer…yeah, doesn’t look great. Feels very mid 2000s. Like half way between Troy and 300. My ancient Greek nerd brain is also not hyped on the costumes. It would be cool to see some accuracy at least once. Im fine with adaptations of mythology not being totally accurate all the time, but it should be done at least once.
Good looking as in accurate or as in looking good? I have t even heard of the series until now, but I am a sucker for Troy’s ill have to check it out. From screenshot, you could do worse. Probably be more wearing less and the typical ‘everybody wore earth tones until the late 40s and even then only Americans’ thing of cinema is there.
Depends on the vibe of the movie for me. If sometjong is trying g to seem historical I want the well paid people working on it to do as much work looking into it as I have in my free time
Sure, but the Trojan War as we know it is a mythical mishmash of a potentially real conflict, tropes from other Bronze Age civilizations the Greeks were in contact with, and outright fabrications to make sure that powerful people’s ancestors got time to shine, right?

Troy: Fall of a City had good-looking costumes iirc

More restrained, I guess. Not looking like magic Romans.

Yeah, so all you really have to do is avoid making them look post bronze age, which doesnt happen much
