That helmet looks like my man is carrying one of these knives to battle:
My man’s definitely got one of these bad boys clipped to his belt. (Yes, the blades fold up)
Man’s a mall ninja before malls even existed.
Achilles is gonna load up on monster energy before he naruto-runs to vanquish his enemies.
And by vanquish I mean getting stabbed in the heel and fucking dying.
It’s just so obviously a vacuformed plastic shell that doesn’t fit the actor that’s wearing it. Has no visual relation to any of the other armor styles in the film, despite supposedly being from the same culture, time period, and status level.
He looks like a futurized, Coppola’s Megalopolis interpretation of classical armor.
The odyssey is a fantasy epic which features a Cyclops, it was never historically accurate.
How about stylistically and thematically consistent? Surely, Nolan could have at least tried for that?
Again, multiple other characters in the trailer who are of the same status level, time period, and culture, but no consistency.
Egger’s The Northman was an equally mythologically interlaced tale, but you don’t see any vacuformed plastic there, do you?
The Northman wasn’t based on one of the most famous fantasy epics ever written and the person wearing the helmet is half god.
So you’re saying…what?
That when you’re the son of a god, you get the cheap plastic props? What point are you actually trying to make?
By your logic, The Odyssey should have more impressive props, given the divine pedigree of the story and main character. But no. Batman looking plastic, grey colorless fabric, no bronze or dye in evidence.
I’m saying it’s a trailer how upset can you be, but you can clearly be very upset about everything. Do you need wipes or tissues?
Only with aloe, please. I have sensitive skin.
With a helmet like that, may as well cast GWAR and call it a day.
If they went all out like that I’d respect it a lot more. Give me the Odyssey but make everyone look straight outta Warhammer or something crazy like that.
I GOT I GOT ACHILLES BATMAN
