Homer's Iliad is about the Trojan War, but actually ends before the two major events: Achilles' death and the fall of Troy. That'd be like a movie about WWII ending before D-Day and Hiroshima. Or Independence Day ending before the humans can deactivate the aliens' shields with an Earth computer virus and blow up the massive starships by targeting a ridiculously convenient weak point in their... actually, it'd probably be better if that whole entire movie got left out.Image: schizmatic.com/files/twitterat… Page: schizmatic.com/comics/465
