Agamemnon had so much aura every time he was on screen

[u/vicktacular → u/NotTaken-username]

Agamemchad. When the gates to Troy opened there was a moment where it felt like he was wearing the armored bat suit. Looked odd in the trailers but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

[u/NotTaken-username → u/vicktacular]

He reminded me more of Darth Vader than Batman, but I see the comparison there.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/NotTaken-username]

Considering the film does not paint Agammenon as good or righteous, I'd say the Darth Vader comparison is apt

[u/Bandrbell → u/GamingTatertot]

To be fair I'd say the very first book of the Iliad also doesn't paint Agamemnon as good or righteous either lol

[u/Tackit286 → u/GamingTatertot]

Apt. Apt analysis, Robert.
