Cleopatra is crazy as fuck and I'm on episode 11. Octavian looks like Joffrey but is a hell of a lot smarter.

I need to rewatch it for the 4th time now.

what a coincidence, we're basically on the same ep

this show is great, naturally it's cancelled because plebs couldn't into it and wanted dragons & zombies and gratuitous sex instead

I cant stand Vorenus

the actor did such a shitty fucking job.

Antony is fucking bomb though

>>81183186
I liked vorenus, he was stoic and played a man wrangling with honor well (only 10 eps in) you probably have more insight

>>81183175

Roman history fascinates me, which is part of the show's appeal for me.

Woah, /currentlywatchingRome/ general?
Halfway through season 2 and wondering how this show only managed two seasons. Is it suddenly going to get worse?

It's very dialogue driven tho so I guess I understand

>>81183337

They got told part way into S2 that it was being canceled, so they had to shove three seasons worth of material into one season.

What are you talking about? Vorenus was great and was portrayed by McKidd as he was supposed to be. Vorenus is a stern Catonian of the old order of Rome. He's meant to be the stick in the mud who frowns on everything and holds himself above those around him.

Who was the best character in the show and why was it Cicero?

what was his fucking problem???

>>81183484
I don't understand what you mean. There's a difference between being edgy and being reserved.This is a guy who was raised to stifle his emotions and then spent years in the legion where he was essentially roboticized. It's really not unreasonable that he'd be stiff, aloof and generally insufferable to most people. Unless you're just memeing can you give me some examples of him actually being an edgelord, taking into consideration the social norms of the time?

His problem was that he despised the corrupt beast the Roman senate and by extension republic had become.

>>81183026
He has an incredibly small penis though.
Also, don't talk shit about Vorenus. Vorenus had a hard life.

>>81183604
I agreed with you, you missed the point of the post, no matter

I was just implying he wanted some got tier reddit badass

>>81183649
Oh my bad I didn't notice. I thought you were him and were being sarcastic. I think your post would have made more sense if you'd replied to him and not me though.

*rapes you*

>>81183126
Their portrayal of the adult Octavian was the only big mistake they made.

>for a while, HBO had Deadwood, Rome, Sopranos, Wire, SFU and Carnivale (probably forgetting others like prime CYE) all together on the air, true GOAT writers like Milius, Milch, Chase
>now it's nothing but millenial genre trash by cucks like lindelof or nolan like westwolrld, leftovers or got
sad! what went so wrong?

There was a surprising lack of boy fucking considering the way Rome did things.

>>81183586
Why did he wear the black toga, though?

>>81183937

I think you mean greece, my catamite friend.

>>81183992

No, pretty sure Rome did it too.

>>81183735

why

Octavian was a fucking bloodthirsty sperg by all accounts, they nailed that down rather well

>>81183988
Mourning the republic, think he did it in real life too

>>81184020

He was best political animal western politics has ever produced.

It takes quite occult of personality to be called 'August One'

Even his biggest detractors like Livy and beyond went into his foibles as a way of showing just how it can be turned around politically.

>>81184020
Nah young Octavian was a bookish pragmatist with a genuine but reserved care for his friends and family. Older Octavian was just a straight up autistic sociopath. Older Octavian was made out to be some sort of diabolical genius who had everyone under his thumb but young Octavia was implied at all to be a genius, just someone who observed others and didn't act rashly. He was smart but not the 18D chess player they turned him into later.

>>81184214

Anon despite what you've been told, intelligence is built not born. It would have taken him time to become the political monolith that he became.

>>81184020
He was trained to be the best, as all young roman patricians were. Sure, he was probably very cold and analytical, but they straight up portrayed him as a genuine psychopath.

>>81184253
True but he came across as a completely different character altogether. There's a difference between character development and outright bastardizing a character.
