Realistically, an invulnerable hero wouldn't even be a particularly skilled warrior
A) he wouldn't learn to defend properly because of no need to fear strikes
B) he wouldn't have to be especially talented to make it to the top
C) he wouldn't have that life-or-death survival Instinct because he's not in real danger
This is only half true. Unless you take a spear directly in the chest and it bounces off, you'll never really know you're invulnerable and not many men are willing to test out how invulnerable you actually are.
This movie in particular was written in such a way to show how real life became legend/myth.
How do you explain Achillies being so good? He was blessed by the gods.
Why did he die?
He angered Apollo and the god struck him down. It's actually pretty brilliant how they did this, the Greeks finding him with the arrow in his heel.

Lol, it's a crappy Hollywoodification of Homer. Of course it was going to be critical of religion in the lamest pseudo-Enlightenment ways possible. Nothing brilliant about it.
When the elite's kids get a better life than yours, I hope you don't cry you subhuman worthless piece of shit after all they deserved to be born israeli and powerful
Yes, because they had successful parents. Your mom’s a drunken bawd and your dad’s in prison for raping you. Of course you were going to be a worthless piece of shit. This is why I’m for putting kids down if their parents are fricking losers. They’re only going to spawn drug addicts and Black personhomosexuals.
I remember an anon got pwnd by another anon with this quote a few years back. I still remember that session but can’t remember complex concepts in my field.
The Acheans had a completely inverted and stupid value system. They valued stupid bullshit that does not matter like fame, honor, and glory. Thersites is the best character in the book because he advises everyone to just get in the boats and go home. Why do we care about one guy's dumb b***h. But then Odysseus checks him because if we don't proceed then we don't have a movie. Of course, the author conveniently depicts Thersites as hideously ugly, basically like Quasimodo.
This is bullshit, in the actual stories he crossdressed as a girl just to get out of fighting in the war and then spent half the war moping in his tent refusing to fight. He only reluctantly accepted his fate and it was mostly fueled by the rage of his friend dying.
Also about the chuds complaining about Achilles being black, the greeks would change their stories all the time to suit the place and time took place in. A black Achilles makes perfect sense for a modern day retelling
We the poisonous Boyz N The Hood
Poised to deploy and destroy alien barbarians ragin' on 'roids
We the '89 Raiders, Bo Jackson in your radius
The eighth wonder space hunter, Godless and atheist
Decepticon cannibals eating metal and chemicals
A robotic vampire fangs sinking into wires
Rowdy in the Audi, smoke pouring from the tires
To burn my kingdom you must use nuclear weapons
White kids started studying lessons
But we devils in the mental can't see our reflections
Cut my way out the womb, homemade c-section
(Man you fricked up)
What would give you that impression?

also kinda call back kinio
In the entirety of the Iliad there's one named character that's a common footsoldier, and he has a single line where he speaks up at a war council and says given Achilles' withdrawal the Greeks should just go home, and he is then beaten into silence.
In Homer's world commoners existed merely as cannon fodder to die so that the elite atistocratic warriors with divine ancestry can enhance their glory.
Yeah we weren't all dipped in the River Styx butthole

We get it, you read Blade Of The Immortal
Being white, handsome and fit automatically guarantees that you will be remembered.
Now that the dust has settled, what the hell was his problem?
He didn't want to die forgotten.
Achilles wouldn't have been born a demigod if he didn't deserve it
if he did or didnt dont matter bhudda frick you so smart for anyway fact is legends never die

I don't even want to know what happened to that boy after this exchange
I remember an anon got pwnd by another anon with this quote a few years back. I still remember that session but can’t remember complex concepts in my field.
>I still remember that session but can’t remember complex concepts in my field.
That's why no one will remember your name.
shut up
>yeah well at least my personal island isnt synonymous with ukrops and vatnigs
would have flattened Achilles.
What is wrong with you?
>stabs him in the Achilles
HOW DO YOU LIKE DEM APPLES
wypipo don season dey paperbills
He taught the kid a valuable lesion. Live afraid and die in mediocrity.

Invent a gun you idiots.
>Invent a gun you idiots.
They invented bows and walls and did pretty well till some idiot forgot to lock it.
>They valued stupid bullshit that does not matter like fame, honor, and glory.
Lots of people valued those things and then did things that went completely against those values for personal gain.
Perseus would've pushed Achilles shit in
hereclates would loose imo
my personal fv
How did he know the kid didn't have a memorable name? What if his name was Jax Queerstomper or something?
My name back then, and now mind you, was...
Kigger Niller

Why isn't this the version they make black?

Better than being remembered as a homosexual.
I've always had a hard-on for this cute lil boy, anyone else?

Is no-one grammatically correct? I've always said no one.
i think it's always "no one" but i don't like that it is
i think all composite words and phrases should use dashes
It's "no one" not "no-one." Those are just shit subtitles.
kawaiii
i can see why the romans and spartans had the customs they did back then.
naked wrestling, casual bumsex, altruistic fondling as a bonding experience are all strong roman ideals
trashing talking the romans wont unburn your temple.
