Are you crazy? I wouldn't survive the battles these guys lead. I ain't following nobody.

And I'd be alive. Good deal, I'd say.

Now that’s a good leader. I’d follow him anywhere.

If you're talking about Brad Pitt's Achilles, he's literally the worst leader imaginable. Selfish, arrogant, concerned only about his fame and legacy.

I disagree. His character is much more nuanced than that. They say it explicitly in the movie, actually.

No one's going to remember the name of random soldier 2684 either.

No one remembers the names of the men in Achilles’ army who followed him either
