Line #26 Film/TheIliadWithZombies


1	''The Iliad With Zombies'' is, well, ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. A low budget film project which hit Youtube in 2011. Following the trend of ''Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'' and ''Jane Slayre'', the story retells a nearly incomprehensible classic with a supernatural/horror twist.

3	The story opens in the fifth year of UsefulNotes/TheTrojanWar, where [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Hades]], at the prompting of [[DeadpanSnarker Persephone]], intends to spite Zeus by refusing to let souls into the Underworld. The results are [[ZombieApocalypse predictable]]. Things then fast forwards to the ninth year of the war, where the story as usual is told... just with zombies, demons, and ghosts (Oh my!) in the background.

8	* AchillesHeel: The subject of numerous puns.
9	* AchillesInHisTent: Obviously, though he doesn't exactly ''stay'' there...
10	* AppealToObscurity
11	-->'''Achilles''': I could end up like Paris.\
12	'''Patrocles''': Who the hell is Paris?\
13	'''Achilles''': Exactly my point.
14	* BreakingTheFourthWall
15	* CatchPhrase: Oh, so many.
16	** Achilles and Patrocles: "Cousin!"
17	** Achilles: "I mean everything I ever say."
18	** Briseis: "I just want to go home to my mom!"
19	** Odysseus: "Not to break up your {{subtext}}..."

23	* TheFightingNarcissist: Achilles himself, on and off the battlefield.
24	* GenderBender: Goes hand in hand with the EconomyCast. Achilles, Apollo, Hades, Patrocles, and Diomedes all get this treatment.
25	* {{Metaphorgotten}}
26	--> '''Patrocles''': Basically, this is turning out a lot like ''Literature/ToKillAMockingBird''... but with a lot less black people and a lot more spears.\
27	'''Odysseus''': Maybe you should have left a trail of breadcrumbs before starting off down that metaphor.
28	* NeatFreak: Hades can't stand the pile of clothes that Persephone has let pile up.
29	* OnlySaneMan: Hector, and Odysseus to a lesser extent.
