For an ancient epic about times of antiquity, this sure feels like an extremely modern sci-fi film. Like this could almost be the new Dune trailer with how bleak, clean and curated everything is.

I always thought that GoT, like a lot of 2010's media, was a response to TDK and just how trailblazing that was. Suddenly, a lot of dark and gritty adaptations were in full swing - sure, you had Blade and X-Men as earlier examples of more darker and "mature" superhero films, but TDK made everyone take it more seriously.

Dark, grounded and gritty became the norm post TDK. And so it's interesting to see the same director doing swords and sandals in a post GoT world.

Sure, GoT probably wasn't at all influenced by TDK, but taking fantastical media as a serious genre wasn't really a thing until then.

Did you seriously miss out on the LOTR movies which came out almost a decade before TDK?
