I’ll never forget going to see the movie 300 in the theaters. Cuz I was a huge fan of the book The Hot Gates of Fire so anything involved in the battle of Thermopylae I’m there for. But I knew nothing about Steven Frank Miller, and of course I knew nothing about Zack Snyder. And admittedly things were looking bad when they were all you know not wearing armor, but there was a second right when the battle started that gave me so much hope. Because for that one second you know they say push and they all push forward together like an actual phalanx battle for a second. I was so excited . Finally a movie showing actual Greek battle . And then of course the rest of the movie 300 happens.
Now don’t get me wrong as the movie progressed I realized oh this is something else and I was silly to ever expect anything different. I was able to enjoy it for what it was. But I’ll never forget that crestfallen feeling for that one moment.

Do you mean Frank Miller, the writer and illustrator of the comics? Stephen Miller, the Nazi, would have been in college when the movie came out.
There might be more overlaps in that diagram than you would expect
Looks like Steven Pressfield and Frank Miller got blended together there
My favorite part of 300 was the dance battle.
Oh no! I can imagine your state and even share some of it with you.
However the situation itself is quite comedic, especially if one checks all other Snyder’s movies. You made my day :3
The Hot Gates by William Golding?
Oh you know what? I’m thinking of Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield actually.
Thanks!
