Paris nailed him through the goddamn chest, he pulled it out, just like I did with your mom. Anyway that's what killed him. But the arrow in the ankle is what led to the lore. True story.

my rage that Paris lived outlived any other feeling i had watching that movie. Seriously, fuck Paris and fuck Priam.

Hector begged Achilles to not desecrate his body after his death when he knew he was gonna lose in the Illiad. Achilles does it anyway because he was a temperamental child.

>Emiliafags choose the wrong side in other movies
How unsurprising

>imagine being this faggot

Achilles was wronged and had every right to be angry. The Trojans were better and would have won if Greece didn't have Achilles on its side.
The moral of the story is that you shouldn't piss off a demigod who is singlehandedly carrying your war effort. I don't rate Hector because the entire Trojan War was orchestrated by Zeus to depopulate the earth, but specifically to ensure Achilles died in battle. Hector was just the means by which Achilles would seal his fate. Achilles placed glory and honor above all, Hector did his duty by family and country.
The only true cunts were Paris and Agamemnon

I was more disappointed at Ajax getting killed off early, the lack of Diomedes, and Paris getting treated so sympathetically.

The thing that annoys me so much about Kingdom of Heaven and Troy is the leads. Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt are just rubbish in these movies. Surrounded by great actors then you get them being wooden delivering lines with no feeling.

Don't listen to him. Like every movie, Orlando bloom is awful in it, but it's still worth watching.
Just because it skirts fantastical elements of the Illiad doesn't mean there is anything inherently wrong with it.

Do they make films like this anymore? It feels like a stage play. The dialogue is dramatic..

I actually really like this fight scene.

definitely see it, great movie and you get to see brad pitt at 46 looking like hes late 20's early 30s.

Hard to believe David fucking Benioff wrote the screenplay.

He's a great performer but I think he was miscast for both Reynald de Chatillion and Menelaos. The former because the real Reynald was a handsome chad who loved to kick Muslim shit in rather than this hairy wine-soaked comedic oaf, and with Menelaos I am partial to him being more sympathetic rather than how they did him. The Age of bronze comic series did, for the parts I read up to book 30 or so, a nice take on Menelaos. Agamemnon too. Menelaos is more of a sad cuckold who honestly loves his wife and just wants her back, Agamemnon is torn the hell up about having to sacrifice his daughter. But the truth is they were going with an inspiration of the Iliad so they recharacterized some people.

Brat pitt was great for Achilles. He wasn't the young firebrand achilles but was more of a realistic supremely confident and utterly self-assured but given to brooding Achilles. Likewise, they could have gone the 'country boy who gets corrupted by his return to royalty and becomes a smug jackass' like that age of bronze comic did but I like Paris just being a wide eyed naive idiot. A teenage boy who dreams of love and nothing else, who thinks love alone will save the day. Bloom was wooden and not good at all in Kingdom of Heaven no debating that.

I didn't like that either, but I fucking hate that slut Helen more than any character in Greek Mythology, I hate her surviving even more than him.

>The Trojans were better and would have won if Greece didn't have Achilles on its side.

Only because we didn't have turbochad Diomedes in the movie.

I wouldn't say it killed it. 300 is what killed it because it made everyone try and imitate 300 (See all those dark edgy retellings of fairytales with lots of combat or the King Arthur not 2004 ones). Ridley Scott doesn't really do epics so much as a half-breed of epics and action movies but he's been steadily plugging along at them. It just lacks the artistic flair that something like Troy has. Hell I remember in theatre class back in college the chick teaching it showing us the duel between Hektor and Achilles to demonstrate A+++ choreography and also the poetic cadence of their opening the duel dialogue.

And they always fucking neglect him. is pretty much confirmed to be Achilles-Odysseus-Menelaos-Agamemnon and then Hektor-Aeneas-Paris-Probably Sarpedon. I like Sarpedon a lot so I am happy for him but Diomedes should be part of the Greek playable heroes and damn well better be a DLC or preorder down the line (shitty as that is). Being an Argive is suffering, you always get neglected in favor of Sparta or Achilles

>is pretty much confirmed to be Achilles-Odysseus-Menelaos-Agamemnon and then Hektor-Aeneas-Paris-Probably Sarpedon
No, Achillies, Odysseus, and a number of other heroes (I can't remember the number they said) are all recruitable by the main factions. We don't know how exactly but you can have Achilles fighting for Troy.

If it must be DLC, a fucking Ajax/Diomedes pack is obligatory.

>No myth units because it's a "grounded, realistic take on bronze age life"
>But Three Kingdoms tier heros that can fuck anything up lol

Attached: 22qzfpmme9r11.jpg (933x525, 64K)

Yeah, I know. Going down the middle just pisses everyone off rather than going one way or the other.
Achilles should just have an Elite Myrmidon bodyguard unit as well as all the other heroes, but whatever.

Let me clarify that you'll still undoubtedly have Ajax and Nestor and all that it's just we have 8 generals, they stated the 4 for the Greeks in the trailer and since they show up on the left it stands to reason the 4 on the right will be the Trojans. Hektor up front, Paris with the bow, then Aeneas and Sarpedon behind them.

If it wouldn't be cocked up my dream TV series would be The Heroic Cycle, covering the Greeks from the Olympians to either the Iliad and Odyssey or perhaps the Heracledae. Use the big start power to play the gods given they'd be the constant fixture of the series.

Season 1 is the Titanomachy
Season 2 are the early heroes like Perseus, Cadmus, maybe the Calydonian Boar Hunt.
Season 3-4 are Hercules and the Argonauts
Season 5 is Oedipus and the 7 against Thebes.
Season 6 is the Iliad
Season 7 is the Odyssey and aftermath (Electra/Orestes, Heracledae)

Oh thank god that's fucking awesome, thanks mate. I have to assume though it'll still be the 4 Greeks I mentioned as the playables. It'd be weird if Achilles wasn't playable but only recruitable.

Attached: LOW RES - Peter Connolly - Mycenaean Age #7.jpg (691x1189, 235K)

I don't think Achilles will be a playable faction, but we'll see.

Diomedes drew Ares and Aphrodite's blood, the only human to wound two Olympian gods in a single day, it's unfair to include him in ANYTHING, he was the only Greek hero besides Heracles to wound an Olympian god.

Chad Diomedes shits all over Achilles in the long run, Achilles could only best him in combat but failed elsewhere as a man and heroic figure.

I know dude. He's so fucking underrated.

To be honest that doesn't bother me as much as the lack of naval combat (No ram in this period but it'd be simple ToB style boarding) and the absence of the gods do. There were no centaurs, cyclopses, ect. at the Iliad. They do show up in the extended myth (and Achilles was trained by a centaur) so it makes sense to include them but I'm not aggrieved by their absence. The absence of the Gods really annoys me because they fit perfectly within the 3k/Warhammer engine kind of gameplay. A god should be like a summon in Warhammer, with some neat randomization and 'rivalry' mechanic:

>You don't summon them. They decide to get involved or not.
>Each individual hero, if reaching a sufficient 'champion' rank, can develop unique relationships with individual Gods.
>If the other side has a hero with a good relationship with that god, it decreases/denies the chance the God will intervene (think Zeus and how he liked Sarpedon and Achilles, or Achilles and Memnon). If the other side has a hero that god hates, it's more likely the god will intervene on your behalf.
>But if your God intervenes, it guarantees a rival god will intervene.
>You don't get to control if they spawn but you do get to control them once they spawn.
The gods themselves can just be ogre or troll sized compared to a regular human rather than colossus sized.

Where did you hear that info, anyway? I wouldn't mind Diomedes and Nestor taking the spot of Odysseus and Achilles but I am skeptical they would as they list off a neat and tidy 4 in the trailer.

In the Iliad he runs from Achilles going around the city walls like three times scared like a little girl and only faces him at the end because Athena transformed into his brother and tricked him into facing him

>He wasn't the young firebrand achilles but was more of a realistic supremely confident and utterly self-assured but given to brooding Achilles.
See I can see bits of that. But he still has wooden moments. I just wish he had brought a bit more to the roll. Bit more energy? He seemed quite uninterested.

Also obviously the named heroes from the start already have the relationships. This is just to avoid the need to have Jossos Blowus the level 1 general have a relationship with the Gods.

>implying Aeneas wouldn't have shitted on Achilles were they to face eachother

It's good and Oralndo Bloom is perfectly cast.

You're a moron if you think otherwise

I thought they said there were gods, but it was like rome 2 (i.e. you worship Ares and he gives your military a combat buff)

Diomedes beat Aeneas in combat, and Aeneas is saved from death by Aphrodite and Apollo. Poseidon later saves Aeneas from Achilles.

Aeneas is a bitchboy who needs gods to protect him from men.

>implying the gods wouldn't protect him from Achilles
>implying laocoon wouldn't OHKO aeneas with a single punch

Hector is representative of the valourous and courageous aspects of war, whereas Achilles is all martial prowess, glory and murderous fury. He's a superb fighter but he isn't a monster, he overcomes monsters with courage and determination.

the only ones to go topless will be old hags and trannies, sadly.

This movie is great at making me feel afraid of the pain of being pinked
1v1’s like troy give me a more bold feeling, as if the fight would be an adrenaline rush
The dude in the vid you just posted is definitely suffering in bed for 5 days with a fever before he finally dies

Kino choice. The music gets me pumped.

You just get benefit of worshiping gods because you believe they are blessing you.

In the real story though she is ashamed and hates herself for being on the Trojan side, despite being kidnapped and not consenting to anything and literally being treated as rape-meat for Aphrodite to give to Paris.

Why do females always pick the wrong side in this kino?

>he comes across too soft and sometimes even whiny in this movie

Couldn't disagree more. I've always seemed in him a great humane leader. He was certainly soft but just the right amount soft. He cared for his family, people and honor without putting softness where it didn't belong. And considering how retarded the reason for war was he wasn't nearly whiny enough. He really felt like a character with the weight of the world on his shoulders who was determined to carry it with as rightly as he could menage. Then again haven't seen the movie in year so you might be right eheh

Surprised that no one went for one of the best at combining over the top action with little glints of humor:

youtube.com/watch?v=WEt4B1poOfM

I wonder if we'll ever get an adaptation of the Trojan War that includes non-Iliad elements like Memnon and the Amazons.

imagine his carreer if (((they))) hadn't blacklisted him

Last act is atrocious, rest is good.

But having no gods really is underwhelming compared to The Illiad, defeats the whole point (humans suffer while the gods see the war as an entertainment).

he's more interested in racing nowadays

He was on a Netflix show based on a true crime recently...
It's over for him I'm afraid.
