3 | ''300'''s bloody battles and patriotic plot really drive home one truth: war may vindicate your willpower, but it is still utter hell. |
4 | ---- |
5 | * The huge black monster of a wolf that young Leonidas kills in the opening flashback. Yes, it's just [[UnreliableNarrator the narrator's BS exaggerating its size and power]], but on screen it looks more like some kind of nightmare-spawned mutant ''tiger'' than an actual wolf. |
6 | * The Ephors are not only hideous to look at, they're also [[DirtyOldMan old creeps]]. |
7 | * The Tree of the Dead, which goes on the same premise as the wall. |
8 | * The wall of dead bodies. The gross up close ups of all the corpses don't help much. |
9 | * The Immortals themselves are pretty unsettling too, being the first of Xerxes' soldiers to actually kill several Spartans and wear expressionless silver masks that once removed, reveals orc-like monsters. |
10 | ** The [[GiantMook giant]] Immortal who is hulking and monstrous and comes very close to killing Leonidas. |
11 | * The mutilations and deformities among Xerxes' courtiers, a sizable number of which appear to have been inflicted upon them purely for their god-king's warped sense of ''aesthetics''. |
