the entire movie happens because a guy backstabs another guy's hospitality by literally stealing his wife
somehow it's heavily implied that guy whose his wife is stolen is the bad guy
explain the reasoning

If you're looking at the story of The Iliad with the idea of there being "good guys" and "bad guys", you're doing it wrong.
Pretty privilege
well you see the backstabbing thief is played by a hot young guy and the man who had his wife stolen is a fat old man so he's automatically in the wrong
what
sad but true
beautiful women should only be with beautiful men.
It's even worse: He stole his wife with divine intervention. He didn't even win her over himself.
Aphrodite made her fall in love with Paris to win a dick measuring contest between her, Athena and Hera. Paris chose Aphrodite, who promised him the love of the most beautiful woman in the world.
Which way, anons?
Diane Kruger and it's not even close
It's a morally grey narrative
Are you retarded?
Not even that.
The original story respects every character: even Paris, as debased as he was, wasn't a villain, and was capable of being spurred to noble action.
even Paris, as debased as he was, wasn't a villain, and was capable of being spurred to noble action.
That's like the textbook definition of a morally grey narrative, retard.
has there been an Iliad adaptation yet where Helen of Troy was played by a sheboon?
Because you are denying women agency. Penelope preferred the BTC, a better man than Agamemnon would've moved on and hit the dating apps, plenty of fish in the aegean sea
not him but yes i am
Not even, Iliad is entirely amoral as the characters all fundamentally lack agency.
be me
open textbook
for some reason it contains the definition of a morally grey character
what kind of textbook is this?
Penelope
Agamemnon
please tell me this was an intentional part of the joke
Not letting your wife seek sexual pleasure from superior men is a villainous trait, correct.
how did they even know what happened if cameras didn't exist yet?
Diane, no contest. In her prime she was one of the few actresses who were beautiful enough to play Helen of Troy and you wouldn't question why everyone thought of her being the hottest woman on Earth.
Persian point of view.
Homey she left you, stop being pathetic and move on
It actually happened cuz they didn't believe they got blown off course to Egypt and the king there wouldn't send helen back with that slime paris. Iliad even mentions they went to Egypt first. Just a fun trip across the Mediterranean and back just cuz.
Helen was never in Troy. The Spartans didn't believe that. Seige ensued. Prais's family would have gotten rid of her for that price. Hector was disgusted with Paris constantly. He's the depicted as the bad guy for having his head up his ass and trying to force someone to be his wife that doesn't want anything to do with him
GOD I LOVE DIOMEDES
Who was Venus married to?
Agamemnon was a fucking retard for starting a war over his cheating wife.
He didn't start it becaus of her, her infidelity was used as a convenient excuse to conquer Troy which he already wanted to do for a long time. Paris being a retard who can't keep it in his pants simply gave him a carte blanche
If you watch the movie, menelaus constantly cheats on his wife right in front of her and tries to get hector to sleep with some of the spartan women too but hector declines because hes married. Also in the movie menelaus wants to murder his wife just for cheating on him as well as kill 10s of thousands of trojan men and throw away thousands of the lives of his spartan men and brother greek men just because hes upset his own wife cheated on him.

In that case, why didn’t the king of Troy force his son Paris to give Helen back to Agamemnon? At the very least it would have shrunk the size of Agamemnon’s army, since some of his allies would have gone “mission accomplished, we’re going home now”.
Imagine the ego boost being cast as literally Helen of Troy lol
She looked like Rainbolt back then
Anybody the read the book this is based on by Madeline Miller?
That’s not something to be proud of…
He said, if you're looking at the story of The Iliad with the idea of there being "good guys" and "bad guys", you're doing it wrong.
war or fucking this girl
I choose war!
*gets cucked*
help me I'm the victim!
Surely Anon Babble can pick the correct goddess?
Bitches cannot be trusted
The tale
they were gonna invade anyway, they just wanted an excuse
therefore he deserves to get his wife taken, also he's fat old and ugly
If your Hector and your wife is gets enslaved and raped and forced to have another child would you be unhappy with her even when she’s still missing you
Menelaus was a good lad...
The original NTR story
Funny, for all women bitch about “harmful depictions” in the media, you never hear them complain about this one.
Why did they go back to Troy? Why didn't they flee to some mountain shithole?
Humans love NTR. Epic of Gilgamesh starts with NTR.
I'd give it to the one and only.
the way you didn't post of course
Menelaus was Euro, Paris was a T*rkroach.
menelaus is evil because he isn't as good looking as paris, paris is good because he is good looking and seduced the hoe of an important king, next question.
Reminder that Paris did nothing wrong.
Funny, I think Jen Con is more attractive than Kruger, but for some reason Kruger felt like the right casting choice.
More like morally GAY, am I rite? Because Aquiles was fucking Patroclus, lmoa.
I already thought Menelaus was in the right, but now youve really convinced me!
Andromache. That German Helen of troy, which makes no fucking sense since Helen is never even described as blonde, is overrated as fuck.
The Gods gives you a woman
But this causes a war
They do fuck all to protect you from a war they started
Kratos was right
Jen Con or Bellucci would've indeed fit better to play a peak Mediterranean beauty, but I was talking about how there are levels to beauty and Diane didn't look out of place in terms of being very easy on the eyes. Nowadays they probably would've cast fucking Zendaya.
