Trojan war comparison

In this piece I decided to compare the character type of Achilles in the real Trojan War compared to the parody of the Trojan War we did. First of all in the original story of the Trojan war Achilles is a swift, strong and great warrior, that helps lead the Greeks to victory over Troy but eventually dies after being shot in the heel with an arrow.Now in the modern Trojan war story we did they change it up a little. I think that what his character is like in the parody is good, because they don't make his character to similar, but at the same time they still show what he was sort of like. 

Next the creators of the modern day Trojan war switched up some of his attributes, like how they made him a Mamas boy and that he was some what over confident and the hot shot type. Some things that I noticed stayed the same was that he was still strong, brave and they needed his help to win the war. I think that this parody of the Trojan war was a good remake, because of how they changed up the characters to fit modern day. But at the seam time if you want it to be more towards the true original then this wouldn't be for you, because the character sometimes do stuff that Greek myths wouldn't do. But what do I know, it's all Greek to me!
