The problem with this whole "the art looks kinda Nazi-like" oversimplification is that the Nazi's actually consciously appropriated powerful and majestic looking symbology from around the world and throughout history including some of the most grandiose religious and mystical icons of the past for their look.

A lot of these images are clearly inspired by the catholic church and the crusades, which you guessed it the Nazi's borrowed heavily from. as well as obvious Greek and Roman pantheon influences (ditto). It's a shame some fairly uneducated people are reducing this down to "it looks like da Nazis" meaning you can't try and be evocative around such unsophisticated pallets.

It's too bad that in this day and age that millennials are not just so poorly educated as to not know the distinction. But also emboldened by their entitlement fostered upbringing to speak up about it and display their ignorance. At least older generations had the humility to suspect they were missing something and not speak up and confirm it.

To bring it back around to gaming. this kinda reminds me of all the 15-20 years olds accusing ID software of "stealing Halo's space Marine" referencing the newest Doom box art. Not the slightest bit aware of how moronic this sounds to someone who was around back then who knows that Doom's Space Marine predates Marathon the origin for Halo by a year, and was probably the visual inspiration for Master Chief many years later. Master Chief may even have been an intentional Homage to the iconic Doom space marine.
