/lit/ - Literature

I'm almost finished with it (book 22), and I have to say that after seeing Troy the movie and comparing it to the source material, the movie was utter shite, the only good thing about it was Brad Pitt as Achilles, who was at least badass in the movie

While your disdain at their ignorance is wholly justified, I think that this guy's comparison of the Iliad to the Avengers is kind of cute. I wonder how the comparisons would work actually.

Achilles = Captain America
Odysseus = Iron Man
Nestor = the black guy with an eye patch
Loki = Paris

Who are Hector, Helen, and Agamemnon?

Or maybe Achilles as Hulk makes more sense. He has the whole waifu thing going on, and his shtick is that he's an unstoppable killing machine but gets all moody.

this thread is epic

not him but once i was on the bus and out of nowhere i had a mental fart and thought that i was way past my stop so i rang the bell, the bus stop, i walked to the back door and then realized that i was nowhere near where i was heading but people where already looking at me so i got off the bus and continued my trip walking. it took me almost 1 hour to get home

That's actually kind of genius. I'd seen the Greek God/superhero parallel before, but never considered directly comparing old stories to new movies.

Your normie friend is awesome.

It's not my fault that Iliad is the ancient Greek version of Captain America: Civil War.

WHO TOLD YOU YOU ARE ALLOWED TO REPLY TO MY POST YOU STUPID WORTHLESS DISGUSTING CROSSDRESSING FAGGOT?

Achilles is mad his lover Patroclus got killed while impersonating him. Iron Man is mad Winter Soldier killed his parents while under bad guy hypnosis.

Both conflicts are driven by death. One story peaks with Achilles fighting Hector. The other peaks with Iron Man fighting Captain America.

>using public transport
What did you expect?

>>14445100
Hector is more of a Captain America imo

I never claimed to be a fat, Stirnerite tranny. I just commented on the thread and you sperged harder than an autistic kid who has two different kinds of food touching on his plate.

How old are you, OP? Eventually, as you grow older, you won't be bothered by these people and on the other hand meeting someone patrician (for lack of a better word) will be a pleasant surprise.
