I was a big fan of the original series, didn't even know this was in the works but pleased to hear it.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the original series, even after they had to switch actors because of Andy's unfortunate illness/death. But this kind of feels like them trying to cash in on that success way too late. It may be good, but not a lot in that trailer got me excited. I also don't have access to Starz so I probably won't catch this one unless people are really singing its praises.
Sadly, out of every add on service I pay for STARZ is not one of those. Probably the only one. Hell, I even have Britbox and Acorn.
Can’t ****ing wait absolutely loved the old show (Blood and Sand & Gods of the Arena being the obvious standouts) Agreed that I can’t imagine banking on such an old and not super well known show. But my old roommates from college and I will be thrilled.
was curious until I saw they were trying to push a female gladiator. Lets be real...in the context of the original spartacus. I have no idea why they go for this bullshit DEI spin on sequels, its never actually good
There were female gladiators in Ancient Rome, called Gladiatrices. Many ancient societies had female warriors. Take that tired anti-woke bullshit to the man-o-sphere incel circle jerk reddit subforums.
I literally said in the context of a show like Spartacus which if you’ve seen this is completely nonsensical for. Female gladiators also weren’t housed in a den frat house full of other naked dudes. It’s a trend in Hollywood and we know exactly why. Gladiator 2 is calling you. Youre being disingenuous trying to cry identity politics for faux outrage . I’m sure you really loved the force awakens and the rise of skywalker…it has nothing to do with the BS strawman you are alluding to.
