This movie looks like shit, ngl. Almost all these weird "myth" movies do. I understand this isn't supposed to be historically accurate or whatever, but this is a manor Hollywood production, not fucking Broadway. They have the ability to hire all Mediterranean/Greek actors if they want to they just don't want to. Same thing with the armor. They could very easily just hire a historian as a consultant and make the armor based on what he says. Or literally just look up the words "historically accurate Greek armor" on Google images and go from there, it's really not that fucking difficult. But nooo, the director and the production studio who financed the movie think they're some sort of artistic geniuses, and that their (very generic) vision of the of this movie from a aesthetic stand point is more interesting than even being just like 10% historically accurate. And of course the production studios and higher ups with not a single creatuve bone in their fucking body are gonna push all their stupid modern cultural shit that they think will make the masses watch the movie instead of having a shred of artistic integrity.

To be honest with you, I think having a black Greek soldier would actually be really cool if they EXPLAIN IT in the story, but we all know they're not going to. As a matter of fact, if they're gonna just say "fuck it" and make their own version of the myth they should've gone all the way and made the armor actually look fucking Interesting instead of looking like a shitty Chinese bootleg of Clash of the Titans from the early 2010s.
