Why did Nolan go for capeshit instead of this? This is the Agamemnon reconstruction from the Illiad.
>>216937171I don't even want le reddit reconstruction. I just want something new that isn't ugly ass 3d printed assets from blender with an ugly blue filter.
because he doesn't want the ridiculous outfits and costumes to take center stage
Hey guys I'm gonna just repost stuff from earlier today that got a lotta traction, can you give me some (you)s?Dude you are the most pathetic piece of shit on the planet. Stop posting here. Did you get banned from r*ddit or something? Do you miss updoots? Why the fuck do you do this every day?
This is literally becoming a new “biblically accurate angels” which, is to say, reddit.
>>216937171how does he eat?
>>216937402I thought about it before. This board is pathetic and hypocritical.
>>216937171Because it looks retarded.
>find one suit of some weird bullshit "armor">don't know how or why or when it was used >may not even be for combat >may not even be out together properly>may not even exist at all >"Why doesn't this movie do what I say is historically accurate?"
>>216937171Because audiences won’t take historically accurate armor like this seriously. They’ve got the built in idea that all historical movies are grey and drab. They’d laugh at any sort of color and seeing people run in goofy armor like this would be immersion breaking. The conditioning is too built in. Anyway, it kinda proves that the odyssey shouldn’t be adapted in a movie format in the first place. Not everything needs a shitty adaptation
>>216937602In the illiad the armour worn by the heroes is described in detail.
>>216937631It's not historically accurate it's book accurate. Homer fused BA stuff with IA stuff.
>>216937235So he's the anti-Villeneuve, but his costumes are just as bad?
>>216937402There a lot of angels, when Gabriel came to Mary he looked normal.
>>216937402Lol exectly. Redditors who have no knowledge of the Myceneans or Homer (who were separated by 500 years) going "umm ackchyually..."
Film goers won't care about what the armor looks like if you just film your fucking film on film which will automatically make everything look less cheap and shit
>>216938744No retard, the description of the heroic armor is in the work itself.And it looks Good, even to normies.
>>216938976The poems describe hoplite armour (aside from one metion of a boars' tusk helmet in book 11), and get chariot warfare totally wrong. They were anachronistic in their own day.
Holy shit ranjeet that was last fucking week. Movle the fuck on, your little Repo Timmy ain't doing shit.
>>216938976Fuck off you fucking melvin.
Why does Diomedes never get any screentime in any adaptation?
>>216939028They in detail describe all heroic armor, yes its not very accurate historically but the descriptions are there.
Historical inaccuracy is fine as long as there's some sort of internal logic and consistency to it. But holy damn are Nolan's aesthetics complete trash. Who cares about whether it's accurate or not when it looks like shit regardless.
What edition of the Odyssey should I buy to prepare for the film?
>>216939324He's a badass but outside of the battles he doesn't get many big story moments, or if he does he's replaceable by other heroes, which even happened in ancient times. The epic version had him fetch Philoktetes, but Sophocles' Philoktetes play makes it Odysseus and Neoptolemos. And the pop-culture version tends to skip over everything not directly related to Paris, Menelaos, Agamemnon and Achilles (see Troy 2004 which skipped the suicide of Ajax).
>>216939584For the millionth time, the Illiad and Odyssey itself are historically inaccurate. It is about deviating too much from the source material. And the worst part is the armor described in the works is amazing if done correctly.
>>216939621Troy didn't even have the deities. At least Nolan is going to have the gods show up.
>>216939620Something that retains the dactylic hexameter well in translation. The works were rapped over a string beat originally.
>>216939620Most of them are fine to be honest, people get very autistic about translations. Robert Fagles makes it energetic fun to read, I'd recommend his version. A new translation by Daniel Mendelsson looks very good too.
Homeric Troy isn't confirmed LBA btw. Metatron-tier '''''historians''''' should fucking hang themselves
>>216939904Except that is how Agamemnon's armor is described in book 6.
>>216939930Book 11, sorry.
>>216937171Why didn't the Immortals in Highlander wear that armor?
>>216940413Tell me more about Highlander lore, I completely forgot about it.
>>216938653No it isn't. Only achille's one, which is made by a god and ridiculous. You can infer something about other fighters' gear and it is consistently anachronistic when it happens
>>216937171He knows his fellow anglos in UK 2.0 have double digit IQ and they love their slop extra capeshit.
>>216937235clown suits
>>216941827It is.Even Agamemmnon's oneAnd Boar Tusk helmet of Odysseus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM-TuFkUXEA&t=60s
>>216941393Some people are immortalThe only way to kill them is to cut off their headWhen you do, you sort of inherit their powere or life source or something like thatThe last one standing receives "the prize"In the end, there can be only one
>>216937171He didn't go for capeshit. And it's Nolan; costuming was never his strong suit.
>>216941827Achilles and Agamemnon both have lucid long descriptions of their armor. Odysseud also.
>>216937171Historical accuracy and respect of tradition is completely non reddit you fucking normie netflix brained fagglords. A lot of you are brown which is the funniest thing. Anglo holywood constantly disrespects real brownoid culture, bastardizes it and memefies it to no end and then people actually think others are like that
Because he makes slop for Indians
>>216942570They literally wear capes.
>>216942570
>>216937171so sick of this reddit armor
>>216938721False, it does not say that.
>>216942740I'm a white chad but you chuds have convinced me to consider myself brown, which is okay. I'll just focus on my own pursuits and you losers can try to save le white race.
>>216942793>He appears as a man, described as being in "swift flight," though wings aren't explicitly mentioned, only implied by his swiftness.
The nigger masses crave the marvel slop
>>216937235>doesn't want the ridiculous outfits and costumes to take center stagehe kinda fucked up pretty hard on that front, then.
>>216942714stop lying
>>216942885It just looks so FUCKING bad. What were they actually thinking? How can anyone think this looks good?
>>216942885Nolan is such a fucking hack.
>>216942872Bitch post the original verse it says nothing like that
>>216942885Watch the leaked Troy intro and try to get into Nolan's directorial style. You fucking plebs don't know shit about anything.
Historical accuracy is fucking gay and I’m tired of reddit midwits thinking they’re historians because they know what a brigandine is. I want mythic history. Arthurian knights in golden armor, Wagner Vikings, chiseled Hellenes. A Odyssey movie should be a live action Frazetta painting. Truly, Sneeder did the needful.
>>216943006The Spartans looked fucking stupid wearing only underwear.
>>216942933>>216942950it straight up looks like the shitty ass warcraft cosplay LARP armor used in the warcraft film. i cant believe anyone would ever think this looks better than the real historical armor that OP posted. The OP armor is so unique and fantastical on its own its truly a win-win situation. just dont get what issues people have with it is
is this the most poorly conceived astroturf of the last 5 years
>>216943006i wish you 14 year old BAPist nietzscheteens would just fuck off back to twitter already
>>216943006>I want mythic history. Arthurian knights in golden armor, Wagner Vikings, chiseled Hellenes. A Odyssey movie should be a live action Frazetta paintinghe kinda fucked up pretty hard on that front, then [2]
>>216943097I agree with that anon. And I fucking hate sodomite Costin.
>>216937419VERY painfully
>>216943139He did, but it’s irrelevant to the meme “fix” of this slop.
Excalibur had good armor
I wish movies tried new stuff. This movie looks so painfully soulless and bland and uninspired, even the cast list reads like a meme. >ancient myth but avengers style!Wowwww I’m so exited and brown
what the fuck happened to this site? how are there people actually defending nolans insanely awful idiotic power rangers cosplay armor? i get that aiming for autistic levels of historical accuracy is retarded as the story is highly mythological anyway, but real life, historical mycenaean armor was not ridiculous looking at all. it looked badass AND fantastical enough appease the fantasygroids out there. this single picture alone from some old ass book looks better than this multi gorillion dollar production
>>216943351Most of the brown people I come into contact with probably have a higher IQ than you.
>>216943429Pshhh as if nigger
>>216943416Sorry. I'm in the business of being correct, not in the business of being a hysteric chud.
>>216943416Nigger brained got cattle zoomers who grew up on slop. It’s is all they know, and non slop scares them
>>216943351>I wish movies tried new stuff.They do all the time. You don't watch them because you think they're all "woke".
>>216937402Maybe Nolan should stop being a hack you gay cunt, your forum reddit thought The Dark Knight Rises was good btw
>>216943540>woke>new stuff Movies have been woke for the past two decades. It’s not new anymore, it’s uncslop
>>216943536Kek. As if you've ever seen anything above mid.
>>216937432Wtf I think a nigger in a shitty TDK Batsuit is KINO now!
>>216937432Also always wrong.
>>216943582Do you grandpas really think saying nigger is still edgy? Lmao
>>216943562>missing the pointAlso, they've been "woke" for over 10 decades now.
>>216943726How many black dildos can you fit in your baggy mom jeans, Zunc?
>>216943726Guys he called us out, and you know what, he’s right. let’s stop saying nigger and start treating black people with respect
>>216943944>immediately thinks of gay interracial sodomy Good little porn addict!
>>216944052>gay for niggers and a prudeChrist is kang!
>>216942932 Read book 11, stop being retarded.
>>216944110>porn addict>race fetishist >low-IQ>blasphemerIt rhymes!
>>216944195>Worship niggers and ghosts like me I'm super smart!How much jewish poetry and black dildos can you fit in your mom jeans?
>>216943416My nigga Diomedes better get some screen time, he was way better than Ajax.
>>216944234Reading your posts makes me think you belong in the looney. Can't even wrap my head around that level of retardation.
>>216937171Is it true that people in bronze age greece and turkey were actually white?
>>216937171did armor really look like that during the trojan war?
>>216944454Yes
>>216944519pretty much.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendra_panoply
>>216944234jesus christ get a grip, man.
>>216941393Race of immortals wander the Earth since the dawn of time, their immortality triggered upon their first death. They can live forever, never age, can't have kid, and once their immortality is activated, the only way to kill them is decapitation, at which point if killed by another immortal, their killer gets their knowledge of their life lived to that point and a permanent strength increase.While many of them just live their lives and/or influence history from the shadows, an existential threat looms over each of them: "The Gathering", which is the idea that all immortals eventually will try and kill each other for "the prize", which if you go by the very first film, is that once all but one immortal is left alive, his immortality will be turned off.The concept is one of the first mystery box franchises, made worse by the fact that the second Highlander film revealed that immortals are actually aliens from planet Zeist, who lost a civil war that led to the establishment of a dictatorship and got exiled to Earth as punishment.
>>216944454Greeks were a bit darker than now, a bit that is, you still had blond people like Achilles but they were rare, like 1 in 50 or so. Norfern Greeks are a bit lighter because of Slavic admixture in the medieval period.
>>216937171>that one armour that was found in one place was actually worn by everyone reddit pop history fags need to stop posting.
You have a guy who took Batman, basically the quintessential noir superhero set in a dark, gothic city with a roster of wacky villains and turned the whole setting into New York 2.0. with a billionaire using military tech for 2-3 years to hunt petty thieves and occasional terrorist.And then you are surprised he turned a Greek myth into the most minimalistic, washed out colors, Hollywoody slop?
>>216943006the odyssey is inherently mythic history, the problem is that the look nolan has gone with is more dull and boring than what a more accurate adaptation of the story would look like.
