I even saw one version of the Iliad in which they cast Achilles as Black....y'know because there were so many Black Greeks 3300 years ago....Its impossible to take anything like that seriously. It would be like placing a 6'4' Blonde Haired Blue Eyed Swede in a period piece about 16th century Japan.
No. Just No.
Agreed.
I watched a video the other day about the Mongols attempting to conquer Japan. At one point WWII destroyers showed up as Mongol ships. In another scene, Mongol warriors are marching on a road on one of the smaller islands and there were telephone poles and lines. The overall story was good but the AI was inexcusable for these mistakes.
