The page description doesn't actually describe the plot of either film.
- Men Are the Expendable Gender: When Ares starts massacring Andromeda's army, the lone female's death is depicted as uniquely horrible and a personal betrayal, while around half a dozen male soldiers are killed with no fanfare.
triton has repeatedly removed this example from the page, asserting that "her sex had nothing to do with it", and that the female character's death is depicted as worse than the men's because she has a personal history with her killer and was expecting him to protect her.
My view is that this is missing the point, because that's why it's an example of Men Are the Expendable Gender. To quote the trope page: "If the story requires random anonymous characters to die just to move the plot forward, they'll likely be male. If the plot requires a tragic death that motivates the protagonists or shows how evil the villains are, the victim will be female."
To my mind, that's exactly what this is. A bunch of men get casually killed off because that's how war is, but when the writers want to show he's really evil they do it by having him kill the one female character right after she's turned to him for protection.

Ancient Grome doesn't apply here as pertains to the soldiers' dress. Muscle cuirasses were worn by hoplites, their helmets are Corinthian style, and their shields are aspi (aka hoplon) style. And I don't remember what the Red Shirts used (I haven't seen this in a long while), but the swords used by Draco and Perseus look nothing like a gladius. So if they're dressed like Romans, they're dressed like Romans when Romans dressed and fought like Greeks.
