1000 BCE soldier herewtf is this fighting stance lmao
That's not a fighting stance he's just stabbing him
No homo, but he was sich a chad l. Between this kino and black Hawk down, I can understand women were totally wet over him
>>221148791Excuse me mate, were you there?
>>221148791>Get up, Prince of Troy.
>>221148791For all you know they could have done handstands for moments like this.
>>221148791>stabbing>through armorHollywood has literally never read a history book.
>>221149561>muh action blockbuster historical accuracyShut up autist
>>221149561armor is effective against slashes not stabs. point of a blade has more force than a bullet. youre not stopping a stab with a 5mm sheet of bronze
>>221148791He's in powerline and converging on centerline with the sword. Maximizes power with as little effort as possible. He should have his elbows down though, but whatever.
>>221148791>low test forgotten ass name bitch doesnt understand aura farming
>>221148791those weird shoes Achilles wears always take me out
>>221150348>We want the DoTA2 Dragon Knight audience with a hint of Coppola DraculaHBO is so pathetic.
>>221150467its an AI edit you tardeach family has distinct armor so you can tell them apart and it adds character and FUNyou tard
>>221148791Having your arms down around your sides is an actual fighting stance. My sensei trained me in that, I had to hold that stance and then he kicked me for hours. If you ever get into a scuffle and see a man kneeling with his hands down like that you better run for your life.
>make Achilles into a anachronistic flashy dance battler that just dominates everyone who goes against him as a way to show that he's just completely in a different league from everyone else who fights (much closer to) conventionally I thought it was clever
Got to love how chuds post the same one scene over and over again trying to prove Troy is a good movie kek
>>221152064>Alexander the Great was totally gay>because he had a close friend and was upset when he diedbravo
>>221152064Gotta love how trannies claim to know everything about ancient times thanks to ((modern)) historians. Just like Nolan adapting the Odyssey from that foid
>>221152128there's literal buttfucking depicted on amphorae from the time incel lmao
>>221152064I cant imagine seething that a millennia dead king was bi.
I really don't think gays should use Ancient Greece and Rome as their arguments for how the past was so heckin gay and wholesome, considering the vast majority of homosexual sex at that time was pederastic and would be considered pedophilia and a crime today. It wasn't hairy masc men buttfucking each other, that would have been seen as gross. It was almost always an older guy and a younger guy, often as young as 13/14/15 maybe up to early 20s at best but point being, a lot of it was pederastic. And men certainly weren't getting married to each other.
>>221152244that is fake dumbass
>>221152118if that was the argument I would agree with you but, its not.
>>221152297Who is saying ancient Greece and Rome were wholesome?
>>221152244That's Zeus and Ganymede. Which wasn't a gay romance (or romance at all) until centuries after the Iliad. Their culture shifted over time and their retellings of ancient stories changed as well.
>>221152314This too. It's just made in the style of pieces from ancient greece, still after the original tellings of their myths and legends... when the gods were petty and cruel...HERCULES
>>221152244>not gay, bro
>>221152324Gays are apparently considering they like to use Greek/Roman society as a defence for modern homosexual acceptance.
>>221152371t. straight man that knows nothing about the LGBT community
>>221152434whatever man I don't care but I'm just saying appealing to historical cultures that practiced pederasty is probably not a good idea as a defence of modern homosexuality
>>221152324Faggots and trannies like you who use these fucked up times as ""acceptance""
>>221148791It’s a fairly standard lunge thrust. Combines ideas from a few anachronistic systems because we don’t know much how people of this time period fought.It’s odd this would be the thing you complain about in this fight. Achilles does his jumping stab attack, he holds his shield behind his back and he does that weird stab over his own shoulder and behind his neck with the spear. They’re all way more egregious, especially the last two, which are nonsense. >>221151680Even then, I still read it as that. There’s a moment earlier in the film where Achilles is training Patroclus, and he switches his sword to his off hand to win in a flashy way. Patroclus calls him out on breaking the rules of a sword fight and Achilles says“When you know how to use it (your sword), you won’t be taking my orders”.Another thing I never see people comment on is that Hector both starts the war, and ends his personal involvement in it, dishonourably. Firstly, he stabs Menelaus, taking him by surprise and interrupting him as he’s about to win a fair duel. Then later, he drops fighting fairly to pick up a second weapon.When Hector starts the duel with Achilles, Achilles takes off his helmet so that Hector will be able to see and know who he is fighting. Hector ignores the taunt, and voluntarily discards his own helmet, so they’re equally protected.But after he’s tripped over the stone and dropped own shield, and Achilles has thrown his own shield away in response, Hector gets up, clearly panicking, with the broken end of a spear in his off hand. This panic, and the resulting dishonour which bookends his story nicely only works if he’s realised Achilles really is a whole level above him. How does he realise? Achilles is fighting incorrectly on purpose, toying with him.Therefore, I put it to the thread, that every time Achilles does some stupid kung fu shit, that’s actually good story telling. Tremble before mighty media literacy and despair.
>Grown ass men had sex with each other during ancient times>Nobody gave a shit>Fast forward thousands of years later>Stupid hack 'sexologists' make up new words like heterosexual and homosexual>Entire world goes to shit
>>221152244Does this remind anyone else of that google style of art?
>>221152480You're absolutely right and that faggot is trying to trick you. He's probably jewish.
>>221152118>he had a close friendJust a bit of banter between friends innit?
>>221152986me on the bottom right
>>221152434>>221152480I once saw a tranny use Nero as an example of transexual acceptance in history.These people are either dishonest or far too honest.
>>221152244Very straight
Should I watch this movie? People keep telling me it's not very good but having just finished the Iliad and the Odyssey myself, the casting seems absolutely fantastic and possibly worth watching just for that alone
>>221154425>>221154425Costumes and performances and fights are all great. Writing is 7/10 hits all the major story beats. The hector vs achilles fight is electrifying. I still remember the tension in the theatre in 2004
>>221154425the dialogue is kinda shit but it's also not a movie you're watching for that. the production design is insane. do not, i repeat DO NOT WATCH THE DIRECTOR'S CUT
>>221148791it is a reasonably correct posture for driving a a sword through his heart given the circumstance
>>221152541i read your whole post
>>221154425it's very good
>>221152541Yeh I read the whole post too.
>>221154425It’s ok, not very good, but worth watching.
>>221148791>Be op>Spend the entire day glazing jerking off to unrealistic Japanese cartoons>'Why is a fantasy story based on a Greek epic containing demigods and monsters so unrealistic'?
>>221148791
>>221155890hey man what'd i do to you?
>>221151680the book does repeatedly refer to him as "fleet footed Achilles" and makes it clear that he is by far the most athletic fighter among the Greeks.
>>221148791wtf is with those shoes?
>>221149561>>221149711You've never read a history book either.
>>221156039Of course, but the way he fights in the movie is clearly completely ridiculous compared to what an actual 'skilled warrior' would fight like at the time.But the point is that having him be an anachronistic Kung Fu Ballet Knight is actually a pretty clever way of demonstrating to viewers that he is just so beyond everyone else at fighting that he makes it look like an art form, rather than aiming for any sort of historical accuracy
>>221155965kek
>>221156655nta but I get what you're saying. I don't know how I would phrase it either.
>>221152244>An older man raping a femboy Gays didn't change in millenniums
>>221154598still, it’s got some cracking lines and the actors to deliver them
>>221149561You’ve never read Iliad then, because they constantly stab each other through armour or even helmets in it. They often even stab right through shields, too. I don’t know whether this is something that really happened due to the weakness of bronze, or if it only happens in Iliad because they’re mostly mighty heroes capable of such incredible feats.
>>221152064Do these retards not know Alexander was bisexual?
>>221158915there is zero proof of this
>>221152643Things that never happenedoverwhelming majority of people was always normal, and what is abnormal has always been considered weird, if not wrongeverywhere, in any time
>>221154425It's ok, but it has great moments.It's probably a masterpiece compared to what we have today
>>221152297What's a pederast?
>>221148791>BCE
>>221149711Then why did they bother weighing themselves with armor? If it's so completely fucking useless?
>>221159642Saar?
>>221159667Before Christ's Era
>>221159671He just said it's effective against slashes, you illiterate goober
>>221148791>BCEkill yourself, cuck
>>221148791funny how people started glazing this shit just to dunk on Nolan.
>>221149711moron. youre supposed to stab through gaps in the armor.
>>221154425sword and sandals for women.
>>221159868>>221159667jannies deleted all mentions4chan is lost
>>221159907that armour is covered in gaps do you think its a single piece steel breastplate retard?
>>221149164FPBP OP is a faggot (again)
>>221160562stupid u didnt even understand. lol
>>221159904And deservedly so.We are at the point where Troy looks and feels better ad more accurate than a 250 million budget Nolan movie. What's there not to mock?
How long until we get a movie with this squad?
>>221148791>BCEWhat's this? Jewish shit?
>>221161700Before Current EraA way to avoid saying the word Christ, even if the system is still based on his "birth date"atheist religion
>>221161846Seems very subversive...
>>221161962It's not subversive, it's iconoclastic.
>>221161962I guess it could be called subversive, but there's nothing malicious or sinister about it, just people preferring not to refer to a religion they don't believe in.
