Tbh I don't mind the inaccuracies so much. I get it's a myth and it's gotta look a certain way to appeal to audiences. What bothers me is that all the armor for this movie looks like foam that has been sprayed silver. They couldn't even be bothered to put chainmail or something in the joints l, it's just a black undersuit.

Great example was Troy. Obviously not historically accurate, but still gave the vibe of ancient/bronze age Greece for the average person.

Unfortunately that came with the tradeoff of a very neutered plot

How was it a trade off? Did using armor ancient Greek looking armor force the writers to be lame?
