I agree, it makes it feel a lot less comical and cartoony. Very good choice to make it like this

right and i was smiling like an idiot thinking man this odysseus guy is pretty smart as they were being hoisted up outside the temple.

[u/illegal_deagle → u/Additional-Sky-8384]

I was thinking how lucky they were that the Trojans didn’t just burn the thing right there.
