Xerxes: Faggy???? BUT TALL. don’t SAY faggy, obviously. Jewels, naked, autotune mouth. Think The Burning Man from Burning Man.
Saw a Day of the Dead thing the other day?? Incorporate that into costume/makeup somehow, seemed like a lot of fun
Sex scene: NOT ENOUGH CHOKING??? at least four cuts where there is absolutely NO CHOKING. unacceptable
– could be more choking here
– good choking in this scene
– if these two stay in the same position for more than 2 frames somebody’s getting fired
– no choking at end?? ?
need this character to talk about poetry, remind main character Greeks write poetry at least once
Artemesia: apparently SURVIVED battle of salamis IRL? fix
image: think PARAMORE CONCERT ATTENDEE (get them for soundtrack??)
IMPORTANT QUESTION: enough ear studs?
what’s that condition where sex and evil make women go crazy –Xenia from Goldeneye?? that
who is this I don’t know who this is
remember: CAPES yes, SHIRTS no, ARMOR definitely no
have bad guys invent suicide bombing but keep parallels SUBTLE
don’t think we can get away with this as an actual line but character note: when Themistocles returns from Artemesia’s barge and his men ask “what did you learn” the unspoken thought should be “dude he banged her”
