That was just to show the abs of the Spartans... I mean like literally. The director even commented on this in interviews noting that this was standard equipment for the Spartans but they looked better. Standard equipment for Leonidas is Bronze Armor and Shield... again plus the longer range of his weapons and better more organized back up on the field
This is film versions; not reality Spartans. So Leonidas gets his shield, Corinthian helm, spear, xiphos and man-diaper as standard gear. Though his sword seems too heavy-headed to be an actual xiphos, but who cares when it's capable of cutting cleanly through a man's thigh with ease
And that's alright, cos despite dressing like a giant baby, he'll still defeat Maximus, since his spear and sword will cut through Maximus hardened leather like a lightsabre though margarine

Leo shits his pants, and has to have one of his men change his diaper when he see's maximus.

Leonidas is not a shitter of pants. You can question his choice of dress and even his sexuality, but you can not question his courage and resolve
Maximus would prove a good adversary, but a dead one in the end

I understand that.. which is why the director of the movie notes this isn't standard equipment but done for visual effect. You're right though... Leonidas does win

Leo would have kicked some immortal ass as well, there is nothing he did that puts him above Maximus other then fancy camera shooting.

Leonidas easily cut through a man's thigh with a simple hack, threw a spear through two people and one of the Spartans threw a much heavier spear with deadly accuracy that made Hohn's javelin throw seem like child's play by distance comparison
Spartan's were night superhuman in portrayal

True, however Maximus was cutting heads, legs and arms off as well. Maximus was extremely fast and effective in killing his enemy's. Even stated in the movie on his extreme speed.

Only recall Maximus cutting off one head; that was while he was on the back of a speeding horse, which would have assisted him in the beheading
Only one severed hand here and that was done by Germanicus Das German:
No severed organs here:
But it was entertaining.
