What went so right?

Love in the production. You can see it in the armor's details, choreographs, you can hear it in the score.
We will never have those times again.

I heard somewhere that the director hired thousands of extras because he didn't want to make a CGI army.
Based.

You'd have to double the screen time to get the gods in there and not fuck up everything else.

Achilles hair was on point

The Gods are the worse part of the illiad.
Oh hey we're going to fuck humanity up with this pointless all out war all because Paris made the wrong choice in a Goddesses beauty paegent when he was a teenager.
The directors cut was even better.

>No Gods
Good.
>No Diomedes
>No Sarpedon
Wouldn't have been relevant in the script anyway.
>Ajax dies like a bitch
Are you kidding me?
He dies a badass after being one of the few fighters to prove himself a match for Hector Stu.

I liked the lack of gods. The way old cunt was ranting about faith and trusting the gods, you could practically see Hector's fedora tipping when he called him out on being a superstitious douchebag.

oh i thought the illiad was kind of winking to us that the gods were made up, even tho it refers to them alot

Ajax dies too quick in my opinion but its whatever.
The real problem was Agamemnon so easily at the end. The big villain gets killed in two seconds? Big Mistake!

It's objectively the best story a human ever created.
It's impossible to tell it poorly.
