Mass shooter mindset
The best is that we rarely even see them fight in formation. More often than not they are fighting in open order, other than the very first battle where they push them off the cliffs.
leonidas should have just punted him off the cliff
>lift your shield. a spartan protects the men on his left and right too, before breaking formation to do spin slashes and fight each persian 1 on 1.
The real reason was that every Spartan had to have a butt buddy and nobody wanted to pair with Maise.
Manlets don't deserve honor.
>Leonidas subscribes to the ideal that there should be no emotion when making a decision
>doesnt just stab this freak in the head when it's clear hes some gollum looking fuck that would betray them at the first opportunity
MAJOR plothole
To be fair Xerxes was a equal opportunity employer, he give pussie and riches to the poor guy. Spartans desserve to be fucked. And they hate the greeks because "muh homosexual".
>he expects logic in a movie where a nation based solely on slavery claims loftily claims to be fighting for freedom
Every Hollywood movie's good guys are fighting for freedom and democracy, no matter the historical context.
Based mindset only cuck would hold loyality to someone who dosn't respect him
>greeks are still so butthurt even after 1000s of years that they call nightmares "ephialtes"
That is the comic and movie. In reality they got bribed to show the passage to the invaders.
It's also funny how Alexander the Great, when he was conquering Persia, mostly fought battles against Greek mercenaries, not Persian soldiers.
It's ok bro, I cannot put you in the phalanx, but you can hang around and stab shit as soon as the fuckers come close.
>It's also funny how Alexander the Great, when he was conquering Persia, mostly fought battles against Greek mercenaries, not Persian soldiers.
Makes sense, empires tend to hire foreign mercenaries in their decline phase, late Roman armies were staffed with Germanics, and Arab Caliphs relied entirely on Turkic soldiers. Xenophon's Anabasis is all about a group of Greek mercenaries attempting to escape through the Persian Empire after fighting for the losing side in a civil war
Presently, the US has load of Mexicans and other foreigners in the army.
>Leonidas says he can't fight with the Spartans because he can't use his shield properly in a phalanx
>when the Spartans actually fight they don't even fight in a phalanx
Jesus Christ, Zack.
fighting in formation is gay and boring. solo bumrushing enemies with sick spins and shield slams is based and cool
He still let him come along and be a waterboy/onahole instead of just spearing him in the face immediately.
Foreigners can't enlist. They're US citizens of Mexican descent and Trump lost.
He didn’t give him that option in the comic, though.
Leonidas was a proper asshole in the comics.
You idiots dont remember this scene that was won because they used the shield wall to shove an army off the cliffs?
They used the phalanx to stop the Persian charge. But moreover this was just a polite and abstract way of telling the incel guy that his freak body was not good enough to have his comrades back.
Duh. Potato head man would have made them look totally lame, and the Persians would have laughed at them. Plus it would harsh the homo orgy vibe later on after fight. Who wants to fuck another dude in the butt when Gollum is watching you?
He said sorry sincerely to the freak and let him down easy. Based polite Leonidas did nothing wrong.
the thinking man's answer
Say now, That's Liberal thinking OP. You best stick to shitposting Tweets from literal whos.
He did not. Commie scum stole it. The day of reckoning is approaching.
whatever makes you cope
Whenever I see the people that like me on Tinder I remember the scene where Xerxes takes him to the whorehouse for the freak and deformed full of cripples and retards
Based
Xerxes didn't give the real Ephialtes anything because the Persians got fucked in the end.
