I've read the actual 3000 year old poem (well, an english translation) there are parts where a guy that is shown as a respecible and manly man weeps for his fallen comrades and it's treated as valid.
It's weird that chuds would focus on that aspect being too modern, because there is plenty of poorly aged misogyny other reactionary elements in the original that they could have got mad about not being included.
It's not as if the movie is that woke anyway, it's still a romantic depiction of imperial western culture, just like the original. I like it as a fantasy story and as an interesting piece of writing history (as it is one of the oldest surviving written fictional stories, I think?) But I still keep in the back of my mind that ancient Greece kinda sucked.
I read this as "a guy that is shown as a receptacle" at first and thought, "Did you have to phrase it like that?"
I always make sure to keep at least one typo in my comments as a power ~~muve~~ move FUCK
hell yeah comrade
I tried reading the original 3000 year old poem, but it was all Greek to me!
