    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.
