Team One: Leonidas from the movie "300" (2006), Maximus Decimus Meridius from the movie "Gladiator" (2000), and Spartacus from the "Spartacus" TV series (2010-2013).
VERSUS
Achilles from Troy (2004).
Can the three bad-asses from a similar time period take on and kill the ultimate bad-ass from that time period?
Rules:
1. All three know Achilles weakness.
2. They all come out using the same stuff they normally would.
3. They must KILL Achilles, KO does not count as a win.
4. They cannot beat him by using "luck" or unconventional means (like... idk, chopping a tree down or pushing over a rock to make sure it lands on him.) It must be through their own feats and martial prowess.
They absolutely can. And it won't be as difficult as you think. Leonidas legit superhuman and Spartacus is close if not one as well. Maximus is the most grounded but he is a legendary tactician and fighter so hell6bring his own usefulness to the team. And since all 3 of them are no stranger to fighting as a team they jump him and get a high majority imo.
The only person we ever saw Achilles fight that actually had skill was Paris. The rest were nameless soldiers and that one champion who didn't get to do anything before he was stabbed.
Uh, his fighting against Hector was legendary (literally stated Hector was the best he ever faced), he took down over 100 men single-handedly when he stormed the beaches of Troy, didn't he?
My bad, it was Hector's fight I was thinking about. Paris is Hector's younger brother.
And while I don't remember the number, it was quite a lot indeed. Leonidas has similar numbers considering he probably got the most kills out of the Spartans and was the most powerful/skilled one as their King. But he not only fought Persians, he fought the Immortals who were superhuman and the most deadly fighting force in the world(aside from the Spartans), the Uber Immortal, etc... and he was only injured by a literal superhuman giant who ignored injuries, and being overwhelmed by so many arrows and soldiers that there was literally nothing he could do about it.
Achilles still has a good shot here; both Spartacus and Leonidas killed dozens if not hundreds of soldiers over the course of their outings but they did it in concert with their compatriots for the most part while Achilles destroyed the beach of Troy single handedly; the mermodyn were there for support basically if you watch the fight scene hes taking on guys all by himself; add the one hit kill of Boagreus and stellar fight with Hector and I think hes got the skill + raw stats to beat the three 5/10
Jesus christ. Achilles is being way overwanked here. He didn't kill close to a hundred men during the beach scene nor did he take the beach singlehandedly.
And his heel is not a weakness in the movie. He's just a normal, albeit very skilled, human in the film. Fun fact, even in the original Iliad, Achilles is not invincible (though he does end up getting some divine armor). It's only later Roman versions of the myth that introduce that concept.
