Bodily nudity taboos (that eventually gave birth to unnatural shit like the Puritans) mainly exist in northern societies. Ironically, these same societies have reached peak degeneracy right now.
Besides, there are also goddesses like Freya.

What Abrahamic cancer can do to a mf. Again, see movements like the Puritans or the entire Christian female clergy. All this fixation on covering and demonizing the human form was always bound to bounce back.
Yes, but even though both north and south of Europe are Christian, it's the north has always had a more puritan view on these things, despite the south being more religious (especially in modern day). And it's the north that has embraced globohomosexual so much. That's why I'm saying that above all, it's a cultural and societal thing that finally bounced back in the 20th - 21st centuries.

But Middle Easterners, who are as southern or moreso than south Europeans, are at least as restrictive as Protestants.

It's incredible how you can be proven wrong and still act like you're right
The idea of someone showing up to fight you one on one to the death is terrifying. Also the parents watching him die from afar. Imagine the fricking suspense and heartbreak
Hector made a sacrifice before the match to appease Athena, and when the match started i can't remember why but hector started running around the walls out of fear and Achilles was chasing him. Athena then came to Hector and promised him her aid in the fight but when Hector turned around Athena helped Achilles. Moral of the story is don't trust w*men.
Diomedes never gets any credit. Odysseus is cool obviously, but the two Ajax brothers are overrated and get so much fanfare, but in the actual epic Diomedes just kicks fricking ass. He fricking THOT patrols Aphrodite from the battlefield and when Aphrodite asks Zeus to smite him he's like, "You know, he had a point, you're kind of a dumb b***h." No one fricks with the gods in Greek mythology like that and gets away.
Hectors a demi god too according to some sources, Aeneas could have held his own as well
idk bro. In the book (epic poem, whatever) when Achilles finally enters the battle with his freshly god-forged gear he literally routs the entire Trojan coalition by himself, killing prolific warrior after prolific warrior. Hector comes out to fight him knowing he's going to die because he's honorable, and is promptly killed.
That's his dead cousin you sick frick. Stop projecting your post-modern gay shit into the ancient world.

While it's true Partocles has been memefied to be Achilles's lover, there are indeed versions of the myths where he is (as well as versions where the relationship is stated to be non-romantic)
>He fricking THOT patrols Aphrodite from the battlefield and when Aphrodite asks Zeus to smite him he's like, "You know, he had a point, you're kind of a dumb b***h." No one fricks with the gods in Greek mythology like that and gets away.
I wrote a paper in college about this exact topic. It was always weird that there wasn't more talk about a dude fricking up a god and the other gods not really giving a shit or doing anything about it.
They have their own problems. The family dynamic between Zeus, Hera, Athena and Ares is basically a sitcom where Ares is usually the butt of jokes because he's an idiot. It reminds me a lot of Married With Children.
yeah, but the people probably did exist and did some cool enough shit for people to write about them. Just not as cool as what the movies make out. You'll never know what they really did because even historical texts could be flavoured or unreliable writers or shit translations etc.
Aeneas is some beta ass b***h in the illiad that needed his mother to save him from Diochades. but he turned out to be pretty based in Roman fanfiction.
>Is he 'special' in some way or just got lucky?
In the the Iliad, he is directly assisted by some gods a few times.
On top of that there's plenty of demigods in the Illiad, on both sides. Lots of them get killed by humans. It's not really clear what being a demigod really implied, but I guess it's a boost to your power level but it doesn't put you in a tier of your own.
Although Achilles actually is on a league of his own in terms of martial prowess. He is described as so much above the other warriors on both sides that he can turn the tide of the battle single handedly.
Achilles isn't a demigod in this movie. Same as Gods didn't fight in this movie.
So tell me why do you take one aspect from the mythology and try to apply it here, but completely ignore the others? Are you trying to be smart, homosexual?
Why is all the bronze so aged in this movie? Wouldn't a lot of the armor and weapons have been freshly forged? Would've look much better on screen - though perhaps the contrast with the background was the issue.
>Wouldn't a lot of the armor and weapons have been freshly forged?
no, that shit would pass from generation to generation. it's not a modern industrial war where government mass produces weapons for it's army. everyone would bring his own weapon and armor. most likely the same your grandpa used when he was younger, unless you were rich and could afford to have something new made for you.
As a kid, it baffled me how those troyan scum defended Paris and Helen. Hector I understand, but why didn't anyone else drag those two c**ts out of the city? Sure, it wouldn't stop the war but at least it would be cathartic to se them being slaughtered by the greeks.
In the book you have a few moments where Menelaus is in danger and people are like "I mean... if he dies, there won't be any reasons for the Greeks to keep fighting, so..."
I think I recall Hector being vocally angry at Helene and Paris a couple of times, too.
>I recall Hector being vocally angry at Helene and Paris a couple of times, too.
should hope so, he had the choice of ruling eurpoe, being the best warrior of his day, or cucking a Greek king for lulz and he chose the latter
Brad Pitt is so perfect for Achilles.
Still I would have preferred a 300-like type of extremely aesthetised cinematography.
And/or more period-accurate costumes. Mycenians armours are absolute kino.
I grew up with this and Vanilla Sky basically being a 'frick you, I liked it' type of film. I always assumed that as I got older I'd realise why everyone hated them both but I still din't understand. Genuinely two of my favourite films
achilles can soc me
frick off Achilles i won that b***h fair and square judging a beauty contest
Did Hera, Athena & Venus really strip naked for some cute prince? What a bunch of frickin' thots.

Abraham wasn't northern.

Veiling women got grandfathered into Abrahamism from the Assyrians.
It's been a long time since I've seen Troy. How does Paris get Helen if there aren't any gods involved in what's going on?
they just fall for each other
They de-mythologised the story for this adaptation and made a proto "gritty realistic" Trojan War movie.
The idea of someone showing up to fight you one on one to the death is terrifying. Also the parents watching him die from afar. Imagine the fricking suspense and heartbreak
I probably would have ordered my archers to rain hundreds of arrows on the little seething homosexual as a show of might
>implying that would even scratch Achilles
He's a demigod. Pretty much invulnerable.
Be pretty baller to see that. All the arrows just miss or bounce off.
But then you’re a coward and it’s even worse. People relied on their honor
woman detected
You have a finite number of arrows in a siege.
>woman
That's what would happen exactly in real life. Any history gay will tell you that.
OH N-
This was Brad Pitt's capeshit
I'll take 50 swords & sandalshit over a single capeshit tbh
I'm surprised Hector actually put up that much of a fight against the big boy demigod. Is he 'special' in some way or just got lucky?
Greatest warrior in Troy or something like that.
Loses because he gets team ganged by Achilles and the gods or sumthing idk

best human warrior
he was no Diomedes though, that dude was so angry he beat the shit out of Ares

Achilles only goes super saiyan when hes see's his bussy get killed, some frickin greek deus ex machina shit
its what got them through Thermopylae

Fricking Plato wrote about them being homosexuals

ohh shit the made up stories have sources about how they made up the stories? cool
so this was greek capeshit at the time?
yeah, but the people probably did exist and did some cool enough shit for people to write about them. Just not as cool as what the movies make out. You'll never know what they really did because even historical texts could be flavoured or unreliable writers or shit translations etc.
What gave it away? Maybe the gods, monsters, magic, etc.
You will never be an Otoman

Feels to me that Achilles was just flexing most of the time up until Hector damaged his armor.
Achilles isn't a demigod in this movie. Same as Gods didn't fight in this movie.
So tell me why do you take one aspect from the mythology and try to apply it here, but completely ignore the others? Are you trying to be smart, homosexual?
what the frick is this stupid shit? blonde guy isn't even breaking a sweat, in reality none of those flashy moves would work.
Blonde guy is a demigod, so.
in the movie he isnt
Yes he is
no
hes achilles, so he invincible and one of the greatest warriors, hes being flashy because hes angry and wants to humiliate hector
arent all blondes?
Actually moves like this are perfectly viable with enough training, and the favour of the gods
t. bronze age duellist
>with enough training, and the favour of the gods
i'm waiting on that favour now
Capeshit. In reality, this moron Hector shat his pants in fear, and ran laps around the city to escape his fate.
moron

Hector did nothing wrong.
Shouldn't have been dragged into this bullshit
frick paris
the whole ordeal is because two b***hes are REEEing that Paris wanted to frick the hottest b***h around instead of being rich
It's honestly fricking pathetic.
The Greeko*ds needed the assistance of gods and their cast aside spawn to defeat a city of mortal men
>tfw we will never get a kino Odysseus biopic starring Sean Bean
Frick this gay Earth.
right ffs
the movie deviates too much from the source material for me to like it
but why didn't he become the hulk and beat the shit outta tyler?
Yes yes the Trojan war was epic and all that, HOWEVER I prefer the Odyssey.
