A rare role for Sean Bean. A movie with war in it where he survives.
When ride or die goes wrong.Hector was put in a situation. But obviously, its a story of a hero who beats the mighty kingdom.
I personally feel like both Homer and Herodotus were full of shit.
Here's a map of Greece
We are supposed to believe that the Persians could only access Sparta through a choke point that 300 soldiers could use to their advantage? There was NO OTHER way in?
Shaneequa of Troy. LolI'm ready for Spike Lee's remake.
me likeee horseee
I think that battle was not really significant.I personally feel like both Homer and Herodotus were full of shit.

or completely made up....I think that battle was not really significant.
The only good guy in the entire saga.Hector. He was just trying to do the right thing but got caught up in his brother's bull shit.
Interesting take. I wasn't aware nuclear weapons existed in 12th century BCEThe Theatrical Edition was released in the year 2004. I thought that it was okay.
In my opinion, the movie that released in 2004 became better with the Director's Cut. Even then, it's not the greatest movie of all time.
In the 2004 movie, Brendan Gleeson portrayed King Menelaos (also known as King Menelaus). The movie characterized Menelaos as being a superpowerful assassin. He was a great soldier (even at his advanced age). In some ways, Brendan Gleeson's portrayal of Menelaos reminds me of Roy Nelson (in his best condition) and Kelvin Gastelum (in his best condition).
Unfortunately, the movie also portrayed him as an old fart that had a beer gut. This greasy, fat mofo was purposefully designed to make the average moviegoer despise him. Who could possibly be in the military of a dinosaur that has a beer gut?
Even if he could collect a considerable number of superfans, it would be difficult for folks to agree with this greasy, fat motherfucker to be anywhere near Helen (a sexy chick).
It was obvious that the director (and everyone around him) wanted a gargantuan amount of moviegoers to take it easy on King Priam, Prince Hector, Prince Paris, and the rest of the nation known as Troy.
The movie went as far as to say that 99% or 100% of the Trojan Military allowed their opponents and enemies to give their murdered soldiers and assassins proper burials. Would anyone in the Greek Military have done the same for them?
As far as which relationship was the correct relationship and which was the wrong relationship, would it be correct for me to assume that Helen could've politely skipped every marriage?
Did Menelaos ever force himself upon Helen? Did Menelaos force Helen to marry him? If the relationship was such a mis-match, why did Helen ever marry him in the first place?
If it's true that Helen and Prince Paris were deeply in love with each other, then he should've asked her why she married Menelaos in the first place.
If I were him, I would've made myself 100% certain.
If it's true that Prince Paris straight-up raped Helen, then that means that Prince Paris is a federal criminal and a rapist. Case Closed.
End of story.
The entire Greek Military became livid and enraged that Helen was raped. Menelaos became livid and enraged that Helen was raped.
King Menelaos begged King Agamemnon for their forces to work together in order to erase Troy from the damn map. It seems like Agamemnon was always keeping his eye on Troy anyway.
Eventually, Agamemnon was going to nuclear bomb Troy because those acts of nuclear war were always in his plans. These events and these relationships gave him the perfect excuse to do what he was always planning on anyway.

Criticizes me for poking fun at the literal mention of nuclear bombs in the post I quoted detailing a war that took place before BCEYou are now. You're welcome.
Yes, it's obvious that you're being sarcastic. Needless to say, I realize that you're being facetious.
Supergods and superbeings with superpowers were in the same room with a huge amount of these characters. These Olympian Supergods were living, breathing nuclear bombs.
Unless I'm mistaken, Achilles actually met Athena. I mean, he was in the same room with Athena, The Goddess of War.
Besides being The Goddess of Warfare, Athena was also The Goddess of Wisdom, The Goddess of Strategy, and The Goddess of Handicraft. I wouldn't be surprised if she was the goddess of a dozen other ideas and a dozen other things.
Shaneequa of Troy. Lol
Man I vaguely know the story but can't remember who is who.
If the bitch was kidnapped and raped then yeah, go to war.
If she just ran off with him then that is some very weak egotistical shit ti drag people to war over.
Did we ever find out which it was?
without doing research they probably didn't want to splinter their army on island invasions and opted on a stealth land incursion on mainland Greece from an unexpected angle. The Greeks were the literal ocean masters, if you conquered Rhodes you'd have one hell of a waiting army and long warfare.I personally feel like both Homer and Herodotus were full of shit.
