Abbie explains the difference between fantasy and mythology, and how mythology is attached to a specific actual culture and norms.

Of course she covers the historical inaccuracies, but as she says later, "This isn't about historical inaccuracy, it's about mega conglomerates taking foreign cultures and dumbing it down into neat little marketable packages."

In a world that knows Greek Mythology mostly due to American productions, it's not hyperbolic to be concerned about the new productions. It is through those that the world learns about our culture! And it's Greeks who get the burden of stereotypes and misconceptions!

Abbie mentions the case of Greek man Dimitris Katsikis who makes Greek Bronze Age armor, and who was rejected / left on read by Nolan's production, after they contacted him first. 

And of course she talks about the casting! We have arrived at a point where we have officially decided that cultural appropriation and wrongful casting to appeal to US and British sensibilities is wrong. And we have called out many other movies for that. Why not this one? Apparently, ethics are out the window for the audience when it's a famous director and many famous actors. Suddenly, they get a pass to erase whatever they want - faces, culture, behaviors, norms aka Greece and Greeks themselves. I rarely see US-Americans concerned about cultural appropriation and miscasts when it comes to the Greeks, as if we don't exist.
