After rewatching recently I'm less harsh towards Oldtavian. He was written as a complete autismo and played that well.

>>82264205
Young Octavian was more autistic tbf

>>82264013
>>82264058
I really hate that they changed him

the new guy doesn't even look or behave like the first one and i really wanted to see the young twerp playing Octavian BTFO Chad Anthony and Cleopatra

this is the power of TRVE ROMAN BREAD

>>82264013

Octavian is a beast, and old octavian fit in my mind perfectly how he should be played, as perfect political animal.

>>82264013
>>82264058

I really enjoy the youngoct actor. It's a shame he doesn't get much work.

One my first watch through of Rome I was really upset that they changed the actor but on my second watch it wasn't as bad. The oldoct does a good job at being cold and calculated.

He was a honest politician, a good orator, a classy down to earth roman, but he was never a balls to the wall guy. I mean, he was not a general and he lived all his live in Sicily counting grain. Summary killing Catilina was the most gorish thing he ever did AFAIR.

Still, it completely killed the emotional attachment to Augustus.
No matter how you look at it, the kid we saw getting abused was the one we wanted to see win.
They just should have continued with the first one desu.

>>82268287
If Jez wasn't a total moron and a little less autistic then maybe. I hate the layout of their appartement as well. Who puts the bedrooms on either side of the living room and sandwiches the living in between them while the bathroom is right next to the kitchen?

They added so many boring as fuck characters in season two, including stronk independant prostitute and general sam gamgee

is there anything scarier than punished lucius vorenus staring at you and threatening to fuck concord in her arse

>>82264427

>>82269120
>shit

Don't exagerate nigger.
Not everyone has to be either a 1 or a 10.

>>82268136
That's why they were the main characters in Rome, its not a coincidence. It was likely that they were just two plebs who caught caesars eye and led fairly normal lives afterwards but we will never know because they aren't mentioned again. So the writers of Rome had carte blanche to write them into all sorts of historical shenanigains.

>>82269318
have you seen what they are mentioned for by caesar?
its some pure heroic hand to hand combat against some gauls in front of everyone

you can read it on vorenus's wiki page

>>82269533
Yeah but I mean that they likely lived in relative obscurity afterwards or were killed in battle, hence them never being mentioned again.

I read that HBO and BBC were looking at bringing this back, and HBO came out and said it was a "mistake" to have cancelled it. Any truth to these rumors? HBO realizing it was a mistake is probably a given, considering the success of GOT and their reasoning for cancelling Rome was bullshit.

>>82268381
TRUE ROMAN DUBS

FOR TRUE ROMANS

>>82268493
>They just should have continued with the first one desu
When he left Rome with Vorenus' kids he looked grown up as fuck. Was pretty hyped to see him go on and do stuff etc. but I can still understand why they "had" to get another actor. If the show had run its full course he could have been used the whole way I think.

>>82269830
>tfw she was ridiculously cute early in season 1 but looked like a used up rag at the end of season 2
what did they mean by this?

>>82269935
Even if they "brought it back", how the hell would they make it work? Get new actors and continue where they left off? Use the same ones for most of the parts? Start all over?

>>82269778
what disease was vorenus talking about? was it aids?

>>82270077

She was used up, poor girl manipulated by seemingly everyone in Roman society for their ends with no concern about what happened to Octavia in the process.

>>82269935
HBO now realizes long term its a mistake to outright cancel anything.

Look at Boardwalk empire and The Leftovers and what netflix did for bloodline.

Long term it makes sense to give even under performing shows a final season for a bit of closure. It builds good will from customers and no one can point to your network and say "you're the reason my favorite show was cancelled reee"

>>82270179
Probably severe depression or PTSD.

>>82270077
Honestly, i think they should do a time skip. Do something with Trajan, Hadrian, Constantine or (a man can dream) Marcus Aurelius.

>>82270077
>>82270210
Well, clearly it won't be a revival, and instead it will be a remake. It would be impossible to continue the show the way the creators wanted to since most of the main cast is dead. Though they could technically do their season 5 idea where the messiah comes... but that would be lame without the Vorenus/Pullo dynamic.

>>82270179
Self loathing. Hatred of who they are, who they've become and hatred of their failure to stop and change.

They could do something that picks up right at the ending of Rome, like the day after the whole ceremony, but with new actors for everyone, and then maybe have a cameo with Vorenus and Pullo later on.
