Anti-intellectualism and media illiteracy is sooooo on the rise you guys :DDDD

Now a quick comparison between The Odyssey (2026) and Troy (2004)

Do i even need to say which ones were historically inaccurate and STILL managed to make the outfits look aesthetically pleasing, worn-in, and not make Agamemnon batman?

Troy's Agamemnon didn't wear this now, did he?

Yet he manages to sport an armor that doesn't look so.... Plastic and new and... Batmanish (I'm beating this dead horse DOWN you can't stop me). It feels lived-in (atleast to me).

Anyone whose rebuttal to the mid ass fashion design of The Odyssey is "there's a CYCLOPS in there" or "It's a myth anyway", I know everything I need to know about you.

Also Nolan himself (reportedly) said it's gonna be the most historically accurate adaptation and yet look at what we're dealing with here.

What the hell is this???

For comparison this is what the real Ithaca looks like:

Nolans Odyssey Tag.

Keep that stuff out of The Odyssey tag

Not because i think that anyone will actually care to do that but because Nolans Odyssey is NOT the Odyssey thank you very much

zendaya is using a 3 thousand years old Iranian earrings, clearly sourced from the archeological black market, to promote nolan's "odyssey" right after having a private jet fly out to get one (1), singular, dress and only that. . .

i'll repeat: zendaya, an AMERICAN actress, promoting NOLAN'S odyssey, IS WEARING A 3 THOUSAND YEARS OLD IRANIAN EARRINGS to a red carpet

i don't even know how to properly convey how fucking insane and disappointing that is

like i knew to not expect much from the movie, given nolan's blatant disrespect and disregard towards Greece and it's history and traditions, and also the disrespect and disregard towards the tradition of the Odyssey and it's adaptations in itself, the architecture, the clothing, the battle armour, even the ships all either sourced from another culture or just downright being something he callously made up to satisfy his own weird needs

and now this??? specially given the whole political aspect and climate between Iran and United States??? you have THE star of the modern generation, arguably the biggest name in your crew for your younger audience, attending an hours long event with an illegally sourced, housed in ENGLAND even, millennia old artifact that has nothing to do with the story that you are telling and is also from the country hers country is constantly attacking and breaking ceasefire agreement, it's just tone death and crass, and just as bad as when margot robbie wore the Taj Mahal Necklace to promote "WUNTERING HEIGHTS".

had to comment on this wild fucking red carpet stunt, here's an archeologist that is more eloquent with the criticism
