"Troy is a toxic masculinity movie!"

And then the lead men are a King Arthur-like prince personification of everything that is good in this world dying for the sins of everyone, his brother whose entire personality is loving his wife, and his ruthless killer on a character arc of becoming a better man having a redemption in death type of ending.

#literally no idea of what movie many of you watched lol #thought of this while rewatching the ' my wife waits for me in troy' clip remembering the shit i often read here #the aestetics are hipermasculine? sure #but so are in the superhero movies where all your precious healthy blorbos come from so that is a shallow observation #the only semi glorified asshole is achilles and he goes through a thor 2011-like character journey that ends bad #because there are no superpowers to win #also the villians of the movie are mysoginistic #troy 2004 #hector of troy #paris of troy #achilles #eric bana #orlando bloom #brad pitt
