Stand down, lads. We’re getting BLAH.

I, as an avowed nerd of Mycenaean Greece, am disappointed: while the filming locations are local and the monsters might be animatronics and the budget is ONE OF THE BIGGEST EVER, the cast is still very HOLLYWOOD and not a very representative, so I had *really* high hopes for the costuming. There could have been so much more going on that was period, or at least took inspiration from the period - like the sets clearly are in the background of this first-look image.

Dun dun duuuuuun? More like Done Done Done.

Ok, it’s mostly taken from later Greek pottery - which anachronistically depicts the Trojan War in contemporary armour - so it’s not entirely Hollywood-invention (except for the sodding bracers?!) But it’s hardly inspiring. And why is it so damn GREY? Ugh. I guess it will look like what a non-specialist audience will consider ‘Ancient Greek’.

Also, where *is* he in this scene?! Troy, at the end of the battle? There’s nowhere else in the story where he’d be in a (palatial, judging by the frescos) room in full armour with a cloak.

You could argue that myths are timeless, unreal, but this one is directly tied in with an event - the Trojan War - which occurred (in some form) c. C12-11th BCE. It would have been really nice to see the costumes reference that.

I am really hoping this look and colour scheme aims to make the character look battle-hardened and will contrast with literally every other costume. Maybe all the mortals will be drab and the gods and monsters technicolour. PLEASE let it become more interesting!

Right. Excitement over. Back to editing YOU ARE ODYSSEUS which *does* feature period-specific descriptions and Homeric references… 😋

Barbie’s Producers spending too much money on advertising campaigns to get attention.

Meanwhile Nolan telling Cillian’s stylist to dressing him up in a sheer shirt and then here we go:

No thoughts, just;

Theo being taken by the Dread Doctors for the sole purpose of isolated experimentation, speaking to him only in French for 10 years to isolate him further. When Scott’s pack unexpectedly finds and rescues him, he has no understanding of pack dynamics, affection or how to communicate what’s been done to him over the years. How could he even begin to heal from all the trauma when the world looks so vastly different as an 18 year old than it did as an 8 year old?

I believe whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you stranger.

Nolan: What happened?!

Theo: Do you want the long version or the short version?

Nolan: Sh-short??

Theo: Shit's fucked.

Nolan: Okay, long.

Theo: Shit's very fucked.
