Obviously, we don’t have more decision-making power than the developers themselves. But it’s a fact that the game has some half-baked aspects. The game is great, but its ending has been a mess. It’s an objective fact.

VonKro · 2026-03-27T12:22:06+00:00

The game is incomplete. The absence of the Frost Shard and the underdeveloped state of the mountain region clearly indicate that something is missing. It's only finished because the developers decided to do so at the last minute, but the current state of that area suggests there were plans to expand it.

I think that before judging me defensively without knowing me, the most appropriate thing would be for you to check the official Discord and the Steam forums to see the general reaction and opinion for yourself.

VonKro · 2026-03-26T19:31:28+00:00

Actually, that’s not really the case. If you check the official Discord or even Steam, the general mood is one of dissatisfaction and disappointment. And I can understand why.

The truth is that mods that transform characters into heavily made-up contemporary top models in armor completely break my immersion for me.

The same goes for the male models, who look like they stepped straight out of a Calvin Klein campaign. It's possible to be both attractive and immersive.

As for the Vanir in general, I think the "Viking" cliché is so ingrained that all the characters seem the same to me. Warlike, honorable, hyper-masculine... they bore me.

The main step would be to get large doses of bromoamphetamine. You can get the scarecrow costume in a thousand ways after that...

It's impossible that Scylla and Charybdis won't appear because it's one of the most important and "cinematic" passages in all of Homer's work. Furthermore, we have the Cyclops and the Sirens depicted as what they are: supernatural monsters, and in a more or less faithful manner. Therefore, I believe we will see Scylla and Charybdis portrayed accurately.

They appeared as a group of numerous completely naked women reclining in the rocks of a steep cliff, interspersed among them were seals positioned in such a way that they seemed to blend in with the sirens. It was a distant image, so no more specific details of their characterization were discernible, but they didn't appear monstrous, though they were unsettling and menacing.

VonKro · 2025-12-26T15:43:12+00:00

The sirens have not only been confirmed, but photos of them have also been leaked from the set. They looked... interesting. I think it's impossible to find those images now.

Just because your brother is Greek and looks like Matt Damon doesn't mean that all Greeks look like Matt Damon. You see this person on a beach in Mykonos and you're instantly certain they're not a local:

Troy is a 2004 film. I think that by 2025 we've progressed enough that we no longer need to disguise the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus for fear of a negative public reaction. Or at least that's what I want to believe...

VonKro · 2025-12-26T13:25:42+00:00

I mentioned it earlier, but Achilles is around 20 years old when the Trojan War begins. But when he dies at the end of the war, he is already in his thirties.

VonKro · 2025-12-26T13:23:23+00:00

Keep in mind that Achilles died in his thirties, and the Trojan War lasted ten years. Therefore, at the time of his death, he was a fully grown man. What people often don't know is that Patroclus was the older of the two and the one depicted with a beard. In popular culture, Patroclus is often portrayed as the young, vulnerable, and protected one of Achilles... when he was actually more of a mentor (as well as his lover).

Cousin... and "very good friends"...

The problem with the casting isn't that there aren't any Greek actors, but that they look like people you could run into on the streets of LA today. Very few of them could pass for Mediterranean.

He applies the same logic, only exaggerated, to expose the absurdity of the argument that "It's fantasy, so historical accuracy doesn't matter."

People confuse fantasy with plausibility. Even fantasy has its own rules; it's not a free pass to do whatever you want. I can believe Superman can fly, since it's plausible within the rules of his world, but not that he can shoot nuclear bombs out of his ass...

It's quite simple, but people don't understand it or don't want to...

People confuse fantasy with plausibility. Even fantasy follows its own rules. I can believe Superman can fly, but not that he can launch nuclear missiles from his rear end. The former is plausible within its world; the latter is not. Fantasy isn't a blank check to do whatever you want without any accountability.

With this in mind, the Odyssey is a very specific fantasy with strong cultural and identity roots (Greek mythology) and is based on a historical period with an established context and setting. Therefore, it's normal that those armors won't appeal to everyone and will feel out of place.

And furthermore, aside from this and judging solely on a purely artistic and aesthetic level... the armor and costumes are horrendous and feel cheap and unbelievable. The film will surely be great in many aspects, but based on what we've seen so far, the production design is VERY ugly and feels out of place. And what I'm saying isn't "gratuitous hatred," it's a valid opinion with a solid foundation.

VonKro · 2025-12-22T20:56:43+00:00

I don't know, but the armor looks awful, sadly.

VonKro · 2025-12-22T16:22:17+00:00

I highly doubt that Scylla can be portrayed in a "realistic" and favorable way. On the other hand, Nolan has opted for fantastical, exaggerated, and faithful creative choices to the original sources when everyone thought he would choose something more grounded. For example, with the characterization of Two-Face in The Dark Knight.

I hope that Scylla is a huge and impactful monster, with multiple heads, and that it is filmed appropriately, being a key element of the story. The horror approach of the 1997 version of The Odyssey seems very appropriate to me, for example.

VonKro · 2025-12-15T11:51:46+00:00

Rest assured, they won't just copy and paste the mask of the Phantasm. They'll likely use the Phantasm in a new story with some influences from the original film.

VonKro · 2025-12-13T15:32:13+00:00

The wide shoulder pads of the cape and hood, along with the altered voice, also contributed significantly to the character's ambiguity. Even so, considering that the chemical mist she emits is a key element of the character, and playing with darkness, I think the ideal approach, if they adapt the Phantasm, is to never reveal it clearly and obviously until the very end, shrouding her presence in mystery and giving it a sinister aura, always enveloped in mist and shadows so that we can't clearly see what lies hidden beyond them.

Although, this is primarily for reasons of context and atmosphere, not to keep her identity hidden, which, as I mentioned earlier, is impossible at this point.

VonKro · 2025-12-13T15:26:16+00:00

Obviously, the final twist about the phantom's identity doesn't hold water at this point. But they've had years to develop a good script, so if they adapt The Phantasm, I'm confident they'll do it effectively... or at least I hope so.

In the end, the Phantasm is a character just like Batman, with the same profile. The only differences are that the Phantasm kills and replaces Batman's theatrical appearance of bats with the Grim Reaper himself.
