respectfully... it does look a liiiiittle bit like when you burn your homework with a lighter and rub a teabag on it to make it look all historical. 😂 Or should I say, your HOMERwork!? *shows myself to the door*

As a Greek, I felt weird seeing mythological Helen with a darker skin, people under weird dark looking armors while golden beautiful armors have been excavated through Greek lands. Helen of Troy as per Homer, was described as "White-armed" (Leukolenos) or "Beautiful-haired" (kallikomos). Nolan somehow disrespected everything. I know that non of these people ever existed but there is a description to follow in my humble opinion.
