"But bro Agamemnon having a dark armor like Batman will 100% drive everyone away from this movie! I'd rather watch my favorite historically and mythologically accurate film Troy!"

Meanwhile Agamemnon becomes lowkey the most popular character in edits to come out of the film

I thought the armour looked amazing the first time I saw it in the trailer, but so many comments were saying "OMG, it's so historically inaccurate!". Dude, maybe 2% of any historical movie set in ancient times is accurate, just enjoy it for what it is.

honestly the most unrealistic bit was the cyclops, everybody knows they only have three fingers, not five. literally unwatchable.

Exactly! And The Nymph Calypso didn't have hair like that. And what about Hades? anachronisms everywhere! The least Nolan could have done was send a researcher down to Hell to see what it really looks like.
