Years before Zack Snyder began sculpting the DC Extended Universe with Man of Steel and Batman V Superman, he made a name for himself with a Dawn of the Dead remake- but really hit the mainstream with his intensely stylistic Frank Miller graphic novel adaptation 300.
300 is a very cool-looking movie, but definitely raises a lot of questions. Like what’s up with that giant hole? If it’s the city’s well, why did King Leonidas just murder a bunch of people in the drinking water? Why are the Spartans obsessed about not kneeling, when they all kneel to Leonidas, who kneels to some guys with weird skin? Could Leonidas really have not found ANY use for Ephialtes even though he couldn’t raise his shield? Why did Dilios decide to tell the troops about a musical goat? How many ABS are in this movie?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to 300! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Perhaps they wouldn't have had so many disfigured people around if they'd stop tossing bodies into their water supply.
Funnily enough, it was the Athenians who tossed the Persians into a well, not Spartans.
@@michaelskrecek9761 Then they would demand that they rub the lotion on its skin else it gets the hose again.
@@stevedenis8292 Sure, but who would dance to Goodbye horses?
@@michaelskrecek9761 Well remember that dancing lady was it really a lady?
@@stevedenis8292 In Sparta? Let's hope so, since their women were considered to be prettiest in all of Greece. Of course, if we have to have the song part, I am still going with the Clerks 2 scene.....
"Everyone kneels to the dancing lady."
*"She moves in mysterious ways."* - U2
nice
It's the Bad Skin Council that's in charge, though. The Dancing Lady dances and then the BSC just says that her dance means whatever they want it to mean.
I suppose you could call her a Dancing Queen. And the members of the Bad Skin Council see that girl and watch that scene.
Shirts have been outlawed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kryptonianguest1903 She whispered to them. I don't remember if we could hear her, though. One of the Lepers would crouch down to listen to her drug induced, almost dead, comment about whatever. So, yeah. Even if heard, could have not made any sense.. She could be asking for more vodka for the water.
"Everybody kneels to the dancing lady."
Well, that just goes without saying.
Some things you never learn in school, like how the bad skin guys always went to the temple at Delphi with a fistful of $1s.
Since she's the one in charge you called almost think of her as the Dancing Queen...
Just saturday things
Well an Oracle was the interpreting mouthpiece of the gods.
@@deborahhanna9126

She's not the "dancing lady," she's the "dancing queen." She's young and sweet, only seventeen.

@@DrDolan2000 It's a song lyric.

I see what you did there.
a classic terrible movie
@@alexmiller8758 300 is ?
@@dickgrayson2878 there's a parody movie called "meet the spartans" that parodied movies of that time with 300 being the base
Beat me to it! :D
Leonidas: High fives for the women.....and open mouth tongue kisses for the men
Messenger: oh I get it you have a free society
Leonidas: THE FREEST!
"their special formation that they use sometimes" ONCE. They form a phalanx once, which lasts about 5 seconds before the main characters start taking off their helmets and doing gymnastics routines.
And we loved it, also motivated me to go to the gym.
To be fair, they did use variations of the phalanx formation against the cavalry and the elephants. And, I guess at the end the wacky turtle formation thing, maybe.
They used the charge one once lol
You can't see their abs in the phalanx
I didn't get why this flick was any good.
"This is madness!"
"Madness? .... THIS... IS.... SUPER EASY, BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE!!!"

“We’re gonna Meet the Spartans.” Well played, Ryan. Well played
Oh, making obscure references is tight!
Which one was Ryan?
I was looking for this comment!
I feel like “Everyone Kneels to the Dancing Lady” could be a hit song
I had to look it up to see if it was a reference to something the way he said it
If it's performed by Goat Musicians, I'm all for it 🎷🐐
anything can be a hit song these days, aslong as it got the 3 same chords over and over and over again.
@@mr.e7541 have you discovered anything
@@sveinungj That's the history of music dude.
"maybe he shouldnt have EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED the guy who told him about it"
Im dead.
I guess in the movie logic Leonidas considered him still a Spartan and Spartan does as he is told to help his people. Changing sides was not something Spartans would see as possible.
@@michaelskrecek9761 Spartans were like Klingons in that they would talk loudly about their ideals but not always stick to them in practice.
I guess there's a reason Spartans were known for their fighting prowess and NOT their deductive reasoning. 🤣
@@michaelskrecek9761 More in movie logic, deformed people are bad and would betray you. I mean, the movie is pretty fascists looking back on it.
@@michaelskrecek9761 If Leonidas considered him spartan, he would have killed him for being deformed. But I guess rooting for the heroes would be a bit harder if they actually showed the "murder deformed people".
I think the "water well" they pushed the messenger into was actually a latrine pit, because Leonidas was like "you'll find plenty of earth and water down there" and everyone was like laughing and smirking like it was a clever pun.
I was expecting him to ask why it did not have a railing around it.
Having a massive open sewer in the middle of your city isn't tight.
@@michaelperkola391 You might even say it was a _shitty_ idea.
@@safarnamaniac Bah-dum-tsss.
If it was a latrine pit I can't help but wonder how many Spartans have accidently fallen in while they were squatting there on the edge of it.
"Tight thongs are tight!"
Truer words have rarely been spoken.
There were some equally true words: "Tuco Salamanca's catch phrase is tight."
@@MrJoberg why did you just repeat his catchphrase? I just said that.
Certainly those exact words have rarely been spoken.

He rewarded my offering of earth and water
Oh really?
I WANT 'WHOOPSIE'!!!
Do you think it was difficult for him to work the catch phrase in TWICE?
"They live in Sparta which is a Greek city state where shirts have been outlawed apparently."
LOL!!!
Yes that is something that happened in the video
Yeah, I did just watch the video...
"So why did he include the part about somebody sleeping with Leonidas' wife?" Just ridiculous. I never thought about how Delios knew the last details of the battle, after he was already gone.
Thats the point, Delios is telling a hyped-up legend with mutant alien and mythical monster Persians in it to hype up the troops
It kinda explains how leaonidas lived till the end despite being one of the first to die. Because of course he’d say his leader lived the longest and fought the hardest
Well, the people he's telling the story to know by this point what happened during the council meeting, that's why they're finally going to war. The dude was a traitor and likely lied about the queen trying to tempt him so I guess he's clearing that up. Xerxes has a scar across his face now and the mighty 300 are down to 1 so I don't think he needs more than that to connect the dots.
@@topknot01 Does he know that Xerxes has the scar before he was sent back though, or is he just REALLY hoping there?
He just saw the video of it on PHub
"So, the king just killed someone in the water supply?"
Such a funny and underrated line.
I can’t believe this wasn’t already a Pitch Meeting.
Exactly. I expected to look at the release date and see that it was 6 years ago or something.
Funnily same.
Alot of Snyder movies are crazy.
I kept passing by this video because I thought it was ancient and I already watched it then I saw "1 week ago" and I clicked so fast..
We time it around creators or franchises - in this case ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE :)
He missed the chance to say,
“Do you have have a movie for me?”
“Yes sir I do, 300.”
“That’s a lot of movies.”

I died on that one 😅😐💀⚰️
"Theres a goat playing some music"
"What?"

Zach Snyder definitely knew the goat musician looked hilarious when he put that in the movie.
@@FutureBusinessTech It might of been something he got playing with his kids one day. You know, when the kids play their stuffed animals like they are sentient?
I feel like now we need a spinoff movie called "The Goat Musician" - his whole backstory, mythos, and how he ended up being the house musician for Xerxes' fornication tent. 🤣🐐 Someone please make this!

"What?!?"
Best line of the clip. That and when asked about character development "oh no no no!"
Hahahaha
That bit killed me off 😂😂🐐
Can’t believe he didn’t mention the guy with lobster-claw axe arms
Nah the line about why'd he throw in the part about someone sleeping with his wife was the best and leaves so much for interpretation
That goat musical might had some effect on the camp🤣😂😅
"Oh man, that's a perfect way to introduce the bad guys".
"No, these are the heroes of the story".

And in the real world, they enslaved a huge number of people so their warriors could just be warriors and nothing else. And the warriors were free to murder any slaves at any time.

Literally every piece of media centred around Ancient Greek: Actually, it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
@@dm121984 the greeks and spartans were far bigger slavers than the persians, classic deliberate hollywood misconception to push/mirror the whole east vs west - good vs evil thing.
@@dm121984 technically not ANY time, but yes murdering Helots was a part of the Agoge which is pretty awful. Not to mention the pedophilia that the Spartans and other Greek societies engaged in...
@@SugarFreeMisery 300 is a comic adaption and has nothing to do with hollywood or an east vs west narrative. It is written by Frank Miller who said that he doesn't care about historical accuracy. It is fiction and it is a story told from the perspective of the spartans themselves, so obviously it is not supposed to be accurate at all. It is just fictional story telling and has literally nothing to do with misconceptions. It is entertainment ffs, I am not going to watch 300 because I want to learn about history... comments like yours always make me facepalm so hard...
No mention of the fact that they're marching to battle basically naked? The real Spartans wore bronze body armor covering their entire bodies. Because they were trying to you know, not die.
I know, but I get this is a comicbook movie,. If I had to list every single detail they got wrong I would be here all day.
Then what's the use of all the 8 packs?
Thighs, arms and feet were unarmored.
@@kabouterwesley83 Actually those armor plates had them engraved for the elite units who could afford lavish stuff like this. It has the same effect as boob armor (no added protection) + a psychological component as it looked intimidating
Good luck penetrating THOSE abs with any sort of weapon!
“It rains a lot so they just kind of die on their own.” Lmao
And true!
@@promnightdumpsterbaby9553 Well, that and this guy named Themistocles and the Athenian navy.
It's a good joke but that was an interesting scene in the movie from the Spartan perspective. They didn't see "it rains a lot", they saw "Zeus has joined the game".
@@JMurph2015 shhh in this movie the Athenians are weak soy boys who can't fight
"That's perfect way to introduce the villains."
"No they are the heroes."
Well they are not wrong.
The Persians were quite nice in general so we kinda are rooting for the bad guys. :p
@@MrYzan Plus the Spartans were slave owners. They were actually terrible people. Lol
@@nortonwedge The Spartans were slave owners, but free between themselves. The Persians were all absolute slaves to theie emperor. That was the difference.
I see what you did there.😆😆😆😆
@@foljs5858 Not really, they still had complicated system of government and loyalty. But let's be honest, Spartans were psychopaths, great warriors, sure, but their system was flawed. And there were many nations within Persian Empire that lived freely with no intervention most of the time, impossible under the Spartans.

Ryan does your back hurt? You’re literally carrying this channel.
Could you please get all the way off his back.
I need you to get off his back
Wow wow wow wowww
You used "literally" figuratively. Like a crazy person.
@david ludwig To carry something in this context is a figure of speech so no, it's figurative not literal.
Interestingly, the whole thing with raising the height of the shield, while seemingly irrelevant in the film, as those guys fight on their own in the movie, was very important in actual historical Greek combat.
They ALWAYS and ONLY fought in the Phalanx formation, so being able to defend the guy next to you with your shield was what it was all about. The film doesn’t portray that, though...
@Isaac Mounce yeah, but then they break it up and fight one on one. Which looks more interesting in film, but is entirely antithetical to how Greeks actually did combat.
Now, I’m not saying that’s necessarily bad. It’s not a film made to be historically accurate (and it isn’t in any way whatsoever). It’s meant to look good, and it does that. But it is funny that they say that, and then don’t do it.
Let's also remember that the movie is from Frank Miller's graphic novel, so not really an adaptation of the actual history.
Okay, so just put him on the far left of the line.
Seems Hollywood has banned actual history and facts that might accidently educate or inform viewers.
"There's a goat playing some music"
"What?"
300 is the only movie that has two "it's super easy barely an inconvenience" moments in it!
Hobbs and Shaw also has two of them.
💀
Just two?!
And Shazam have one and half
To be fair, the historical reality of 300 Spartans holding off a million Persian soldiers is the dictionary definition of "super easy ... barely an inconvenience". It deserved all of them.
"But like character wise , is there growth...?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no"
That summed up Zack Snyder's whole filmography pretty well...
Snyder is great at filmography but lacks in character development.
@@the_belugaluga5286 That's a fair statement.
He so aptly put in Sucker Punch. "If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything." Pretty much his whole career.
@@the_belugaluga5286 Watchmen have kinda good character development tbh.
@@eugeniucobilas5998 it was a graphic novel first.
“So Leonids kicks the messenger into the water supply”
“Oh a very unhigenic warrior king”
Nah, it's just a pit they dug so they can dramatically kick people into it when they disagree on anything. I'm sure the water is elsewhere. The water is fine. I'm sure.
*hygienic
In reality almost the entire Greek states had their armies there and the Spartans made up a tiny part of it. Spartans were pretty much that kid in school that did almost nothing on a project but got the credit for it
I do think Leonidas being a leader was historically accurate though. I think it was Spartans on land Athenians controlled the Navy. Both of those stands failed though.
No, that's inaccurate. Thermopylae was a mostly Spartan fight with some support from others, but the major armies were held back and only fought later, after the devastating sea battle at Salamis.
@@johnathankorkie4984 Without the Athenian navy blocking access to the Persian navy at Artemesium, the Persians would have simply landed troops behind Thermopylae. It would have taken them a day to take the pass instead of a week.
@@mkvv5687But the Spartans were the ones that held the path, and all died. That's why they got famous. It's not necessary to list every other military force affecting the strategic situation at that time. The Spartans were well known as the most formidable land forces in the Greek world, they generally beat everyone. They got credit for Thermopylae because they did most of the fighting there, although I think there were a couple hundred Arcadians that helped. Better than Athens taking all the credit for the rest of the war and then dominating the entire Greek world as an empire and draining them of wealth for decades to build their grand temples and statues and fleet, totally erasing any states that tried to rebel against them, and then going to war with Sparta, only to use their allies as the disposable cannon fodder most of the war, while saving their own forces to defend themselves and make sure no one tried to rebel against their rule while they were distracted. They spent more effort destroying the states that attempted to change sides than they did actually fighting Sparta. But we still like to pretend Athens were the good guys, because democracy.
I peed myself a little laughing when he said "Why did he include that part about someone sleeping with Leonidas's wife??"
I love these pitch meetings so very much!
goes to show, always go to toilet before watching something funny
Can we talk about how fucked it is that the second day after Leonidas had left leaves for war, his wife fucked another guy wtf!!. And the whole time he was thinking about her & missing her

"Oh, no, it's not. It's REALLY not."
"Character wise, is there growth?"
"Nonononono!"
😆
Perish the thought! :-D
Some great Zack Snyder movie is coming, right? I feel like these pitch meetings are visions of the future ✨
no. Zack Snyder is a man with an exquisite eye for composition, and nothing behind it. His career basically parallels Michael Bay's. but where as Michael Bay definitely had a good career ahead of him if Pearl Harbor hadnt bombed, Zach Snyder's career reached its sum total with the movie Suckerpunch.
@@F14thunderhawk this is literally what I say. He’s Michael bay to me. Give him bombastic action movies. He would do better with a fast and the furious movie then something like DC.
@Alex Pu yea that’s what Snyder’s movies already have lol. I’m not against big action blockbusters that are illogical but fun. Just gotta have those expectations watching a freaking transformers movie haha.
@@shaboidagoober1304 seeing how he handled man of steel and the new cut of the justice league, id disagree. Man of steel was really good
@@iadd2568 it's not
"I did it because a naked lady said so" - the Evil Dead series
It's also King Arthur's story. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
Naked ladies are tight
Can’t stop watching this guy, he always hires the best actors!
i think theyre related
There's something about Ryan narrating a story to a random stranger who is his boss in an alternate universe that really warms my heart
Would love a pitch meeting for Edge of Tomorrow. “live, die, repeat” thx
oh hey I watched that yesterday
@@Whatsthis4 on your feet maggot
@@crimson8076 hold up there Sargent.
Super easy movie, barely inconvenient...
Pitch, meet, repeat
Before the Spartans got there, they were called The Gates.
lol
Underrated
I don't get it
@@darkgamersupreme2348 before they were called gates. And now they are called hot gates. Meaning Spartans were 'hot'.
@@amitsrivastava8252 Fly away Captain Obvious, fly away
“It’s going to be the length of a movie” is what got me XD
"yea but will there be character development or anything?"
"Oh no, no no no no no"
Screen Rant's pitch meeting series is the best thing on TH-cam, ever.
Agreed
I am a banana
Pitch Meetings are "Tight"
'Everybody kneels to the dancing lady' is my fav new way of saying 'slave to the rythm'
I want to see BATTLEFIELD EARTH get the Pitch Meeting treatment at some point.
How does the primitive cow herding tribe learn to fly fighter jets?
It's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience. They find a simulator and all master it in a day.
@@burger_kinghorn That's how they chased away the aliens in prehistoric times, there's a documentary about it on the History Channel.
@@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y Even after watching that episode 3 times, I'm *still* skeptical.
Yeah, I saw that movie for free & still felt ripped off!
He's still on undercover trips to l Ron Hubbard's churches before he does that lol.
“This is madness!”
“Madness? THIS. IS. PITCHMEETING!”
"We fight for freedom"
Looks over dead Spartan babies in the movie and the real world slaves they kept to do all the work so the warriors would pose.
They fight for THEIR freedom... Wasn't that implicit ? :-P
@@Kyrielsh1 oh I see. The Spartans are fighting for the freedom of Spartans to murder and enslave who they please? I have to admit, that does make more sense of the movie.
@@dm121984 exactly that, as everybody did, the mentality of that time was that only your people was, well, people, the other just were foreigners.
@@dm121984 the Persians were literally trying to enslave them 🤦♂️
@@MC-wh3xm Enslavers enslaving enslavers
“Sure, that may as well happen,” is my new favorite response
"There's a goat playing some music"
"w h a t"
the comedic timing is perfect XD
"Why would shirts be outlawed"?
"Because we want women and guys to watch the movie".
It’s more like how bisexual men/pansexual men, gay men, and straight women are sexually attracted to muscular men like Jason Mamoa whereas lesbians, bisexual women/pansexual women, and straight men are more sexually attracted to characters like Bayonetta, Tsunade from Naruto, etc etc.
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr nah
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr
Tsunade's TIGHT! 😍😘
@@JDelvaMusic That's funny.
Not sure guys wld want to watch this because of the no shirt thing. Unless it's the women that have no shirts and that really wasn't the case.
**Baby born with a little pale skin**
Spartans- YEET!
Yet those guys with skin conditions gets a pass and can interpret the Oracle
@@mysteryjunkie9808 yeeting babies was spartan thing, not greece thing. Think of spartans like texas and counsel as Washington. They keep themselves to high standards, but still have to obey orders of degenerates in power.
First off, not the place, secondly Texas seems to be doing better than fortress DC..
Don't talk about things you don't understand, child.
@@Rammstein0963. calm your tits, justin, just saying, that sparta was a state, and counsel was giving orders to whole greece, like sparta has its own state laws, but still have to obey federal law. Sounds less triggering this way?
@John McCarthy Emm....Ill have to disagree...strongly. Ofc, historical evidence would never be 100% reliable, but as far as historical evidence goes, the whole thing of sparta was superior fitness and discarding of inferior children. Just google "sparta infants". If you disagree with what evidence we have, you might as well start arguing, that there is no proof of sparta even existing at all.

all my memories of 300 are from meet the spartans
Last time I was this early, the Persians hadn't landed in Greece yet.
Is that what you tell your wife?
Last time I was this early, the hot gates were still cool.
"So the king just killed somebody into the water supply?"
LMAO!!!
Sparta is a bit mad.
And even small wells have walls around them so people can't just drunkenly stumble into them in the dark lmao.
I was eating when I heard that line. Lesson learned, never eat while watching a pitch meeting
I had a feeling that "super easy barely an inconvenience" was going to be said a bunch of times in THIS movie.
Yea yea yea
same
Pretty much Snyders motto on plot and character development
"Shirts have been outlawed apparently"
Actually yes. For a little bit. Not when this movie is set iirc tho
I hope Ryan's demanded more money from screenrant- his videos literally account for most views on this channel
More money from ScreenRant to Ryan George is TIGHT!!
They certainly account for *all* my views of this channel.
He's already managed to get like seven of him on their staff, what more do you want?
I hope he asked for commission on each video rather
Honestly I don't watch anything else on this channel except Pitch Meetings so if he isn't getting his due that's not tight
“Fight on his own. Off to the side” Favourite line 🤣
Scriptwriter Ryan: “Leonides’ wife is topless!”
Studio Exec Ryan: “Wow wow wow wow wow.”
dude you need your own show + channel fr, this series is great
Xerxes troops use the goat path.... Leonidas "Whoops", 299 Spartans "Whopsie".
