Not only will the Achaeans burn down your city and slaughter your people but they'll come back 300 years later and write a epic poem about how killing your people made their soldiers sad

    Platner didn’t seem all that sad

    Really? Seemed sad to me.

    And, honestly, the biggest mistake he made was not apologizing for his working for the US military. I believe in rehabilitation, even for rapists.

    But I never even saw him apologize for the military work.

    The entire film is just using ancient text stripped of its historical and mythological context to shoehorn in more propaganda to make people feel sad over imperialist soldiers' (rightfully deserved) PTSD. I had better not see anyone here liking this shit.
