He does have a point in a part of the comment. All characters in the show are based on fairytale, mythological, and historical characters. But very loosely, to the point that in some cases there's like only 1 or 2 allusions and nothing more.

For example, beyond the boots, name and symbol, tell me, how does Mercury allude to Mercury/Hermes? Or how does Neptune allude to Neptune beyond the trident, name and symbol? Or how does Yang allude to Goldilocks beyond the blondiness?

Neo has the short size attributed to Napoleon. Even though the real Napoleon was not quite short, the short size is almost iconic of him in fiction. That's 1 allusion. And depending on how much you stretch it, there are more.
