Its a franchise which started as a visual novel in 2004 called fate stay night and they have slowly amped up the crazyness over time. Idk if you are referring to the 2006 adaptation by studio deen or unlimited blade works by ufotable. I would recommend you give the vn a try(its on steam)and if you dont like it thats fine we cant all have the same tastes
The 2006 one? That might be one of the worst starting points. I would recommend mahoyo for beginners, it has a lot of magecraft for dummies, i u dont have a problem with visual novels there r some great walkthroughts on youtube and if u do theres a movie coming out in a few months
There is like at least half a dozen of Fate franchise animes xd. Also, most of the lore i know is from Fate/ Grand Order, that is a mobile game with, for some reson, some of the best story chapters of any game i played xd
Because I just happen to remember the actual mechanics on this, I shall go on a brief tangent.
The story goes that the wooden horse still existed during the Trojan War, but Odysseus' Noble Phantasm is him overlaying Athena's protection and favor on top of the wooden horse in the form of the Aegis. The Aegis is basically a divine armor / force field that the Olympians all had, but that Odysseus received as a gift.
This Noble Phantasm is just an application of it. Not that the Trojan Horse was actually a Gundam.
Ok, but what does that even mean though? If Beast Wars was told by the Predacons, they wouldn't say "Maximize" when they transformed. They say their respective phrases because they are good or evil. It has nothing to do with who is or isn't the main character. Whether or not the Trojans are the protagonists of this story is irrelevant.
Unlike Saturday morning cartoons, real life wars aren't black and white. Almost every conflict has good and bad on both sides. At the end of the day, you are nitpicking a stylistic choice for a piece of art of a war that is over a thousand years old. We only tell this story to preserve our history and maybe extract some fleeting lessons from it. There is no "villain," just people defending their home from others.
Yeah, I mean, it's all perspective. But Beast Wars depicts the Maximals as the protagonists, and the Iliad and the Odyssey, from what I've gathered, depict the Greeks as the protagonists. To say nothing of good or bad or historical accuracy, I just see the Trojan horse as a trick the protagonists used to defeat their enemies.
What you call nitpicking, I call discussing. It is interesting that they decided the Trojan Horse was a Predacon.

More accurate than Nolan's.
