The bronze age greek armour i’ve seen is pretty funny, if nothing else.

It begs the serious question,
“Would Nolan’s film actually been better if they looked like this?”
I just saw the movie and I think they made a pretty good costume design choice.
You should be more mad about the offensive use of sub bass in theaters.

Yeah, I think modern audiences associate ancient Greece too strongly with the Corinthian helmets. It’s like how using American accents instead of old British stage accents for the bronze age Greeks feels wrong to many even though we’re simply imposing a different anachronistic modern parlance onto them - and the bards who original told the story were already doing the same with their newer post-dark-ages form of the language.

In general, the way vikings are portrayed in media is more fantasy than fact.
It’s like everyone things vikings only wore leather and furs and caked their faces in dirt, men in reality, vikings were pretty colorful, clean and fabulous.
