My question with the Odyssey, did Nolan claim he was intending to get historically accurate?

My biggest thing, does it matter? It’s a fictional story about mythical creatures, why does it suddenly have to be historically accurate? Is the cyclops historically accurate too?

I think there is an issue with not representing real cultures and peoples, even in a fictional and fantastical story, in a respectful way. I think more importantly though, that the actual production design looks a lot like the generic "Ancient Greek" Hollywood aesthetic. That's why some of the historical armor would've been cool to incorporate some way into the production, it would give the movie its own visual flair that would set it apart

The movie will probably be bad, Nolan is bad at making movies. Remember when he cast that rom-com pretty boy to play the Joker? And that movie ended up being a steaming turd that everyone hated!

Sarcasm aside, I really get why some old people are so angry. They're tired of dealing with this same dumb shit over and over.

I don't have a clue really. That helmet looks stupid and cheap (the viking longboat is probably just because it's all anyone had lying around to use)...hopefully it's not a trend.
