Absolutely, it's one of Achilles' best feats, it's just not all that impressive relative to his opponent.
That's a completely different fight. I'm honestly not sure what people are debating at this point, but I was mostly addressing the Sauron vs Achilles thing.And here, really, the "good" guys just need to get Herc engaged with Sauron. As much as Achilles doesn't want any part of Sauron, Sauron doesn't want any part of Hercules. Sauron makes a nice slow mace swing towards Herc, Herc catches the mace, and shoves it up Sauron's ass and pulls the trigger until it goes "click."*
*Or something.
Hercules renders everyone else irrelevant of course.
