Talk:300 (comics)

message: The intro to this article ends with "Miller will write and draw a prequel to "300" titled "Xerxes" to be released sometime in 2011". Someone who knows these things should maybe update it.  84.56.123.55 (talk) 19:19, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I just reread this graphic novel, and I'm at a loss as to who the "non-human, zombie-like creatures" are supposed to be. Although Miller's drawing style was certainly flamboyant, all of the people in the story were recognizably human. Ephialtes had severe deformities, and the Laconian monks were filthy wretches, but they weren't zombies!
The non-human zombie dudes are supposed to be the Persian Immortals
:I'm pretty sure Xerxes isn't black in the comic like the article says, but I haven't read the original myself so I'm not sure. Certainly the movie Xerxes is Brazilian and doesn't have dark skin. The obvious black guy in the trailer is a Persian Emissary. Could someone check the graphic novel and make appropriate edits?  LadyPhi 00:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Xerxes appears black in the graphic novel.  However, with Miller's style it is often hard to tell definitively without an actual outside reference.  For instance Dwight 1, has African American features despite the fact Dwight 2 was clearly white.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.77.144.5 (talk) 18:50, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

message: xerxes isn't the black dude. maybe in the comic, but a white guy plays xerxes and a black guy plays an emissary (oldschool diplomat). --Blambloom 00:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Should there not be a comparison? For one, Spartans were not homophobic often preferring males to females as females were weak and frail. Also, in the actual Battle of Thermopylae had more than 300 soldiers. Just to inform people and make this article more than just a brief summary of a piece of work. I'm adding the section but remove if unwanted. I think it's a good idea. Zuracech lordum 04:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Once we've got a plot summary, I'd agree that this would be useful - we can link to the article(s) covering the actual history, but it's also worth explaining the differences. Especially as, if memory serves, they caused some controversy at the time... --Mrph 22:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I would recommend using reliable sources to address historical inaccuracies.  These do not include side-by-side comparisons of a source speaking in general about the Battle of Thermopylae, and an editor pointing out the contradiction in the comic book.  The source should include a direct comparison between the actual event and the comic book. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 22:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Differences with actual history

message: Where's the plot synopsis? I didn't realise it wasn't there until I saw that the differences with actual history was the first sub-section. Someone please write up a plot synopsis to appease any curious readers.Zuracech lordum 04:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Plot synopsis?

message: Although this is pure fiction (like Apacalytpo) and a comic, there needs to be a historical inaccuracy section because the errors are significant and numerous.  This innacuracy page could also be used for the film, which is based slide by slide on the comic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.170.48.145 (talk • contribs) 20:57, February 14, 2007 (UTC)
:That's fine, as long as you can cite historical inaccuracies with reliable sources so it can be verified by other editors. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 01:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Historical Innacuracies

message: I'm starting to think it would make more sense to switch the second and third paragraphs, so that it's not talking about the double-page spreads before it explains that the graphic novel was initially published as a comic book series. However, I'm not sure about rearranging the other information in those paras... opinions? --Mrph 20:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, WP:LEAD states that the lead paragraphs should be a concise overview of the rest of the article.  So you can start new sections (which will then be listed in the table of contents).  I'd suggest going in chronological order -- the origin of the idea adaptation, the publishing information, then the film and video game adaptations. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 20:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

text: *True. I think WP:CMC/X is the preferred layout, so the body of the article should probably head in that direction. As for the intro, perhaps some of that information should then shift into other sections... but are there other things that should be added to the intro, that have a better claim to be part of that overview? --Mrph 20:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, overview just means that it covers the content of the article briefly.  It's basically a summary of the rest of it.  If you're planning to expand the article, I suggest that you take all the information from the lead paragraphs, put them in sections, and worry about writing lead paragraphs at the end of the expansion. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 20:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Theres a reference that is missing, in the 7th Sin city book during the drug trip section the main character sees a spartan with a gun. I believe it is king Leonidas, he has the same cut in his helmet. I think that should be added in the Reference section. But I will not perform the edit. 5150 01:48, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The article nowhere discusses the fact that 300 is a bluntly homoerotic work by an obviously heterosexual writer. Has no "respected" critic covered this point? WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 16:15, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: homoeroticism

message: In the sentence "In Sin City: The Big Fat Kill, Dwight considers Leonidas' choice of "where to fight" and manages to loosely recreate the Spartan defense tactics by cornering the enemy gang in a tight alley; they then annihilate them with heavy gunfire and explosives.", it is not entirely clear who "they" and "them" are. I think it is saying that Dwight annihilates his opponents, but it could be read the other way around. It is especially confusing as Dwight is not mentioned as having anyone else with him, meaning that both possible readings use a plural pronoun for a single person. --Khajidha (talk) 14:23, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
