Snowman_McK posted:This is the best loving forum. Are there ways in which 300 is "in universe propaganda" for reasons other than the ones that make people familiar with the history cringe but would make sense in a "Spartans are the most badass guys ever." context? Since if there are, I'd actually really love to hear them. By the way I mean stuff like calling Athenians "boy-lovers" when they had their own agoge (institutionalized boy-loving), most of the allies conspicuously going missing, breaking formation and engaging in single combat when that'd be a terrible idea for a phalanx, fighting ninjas and alchemists and giant mutants and so on. Oh, and Xerxes actually being wounded.

verybad posted:The story of the film is framed as the only survivor of the 300 telling it on the eve of battle to raise the morale of the troops. Yeah I remember that part as well, which is what justified all the stuff I mentioned in my previous post, since he was just blatantly exaggerating so they'd feel even better about fighting weaker, crappier Persians who didn't have giant crab men with them.
