Brutus me old cock! Welcome to the /Rome/ thread. I’ve got some Miller’s Bread around here somewhere…
>>215069940you expect me to believe this doofus was named Mark Anthony? What's next, a guy named Steve Ryan? Nathan Thomas? Couldn't they at least try to make it sound Roman?
I wish they'd have had his eulogy for Caesar in the show.
what of good Solonius?
>>215070648Marcus Antonius you fucking troll faggot
>>215070736They made him FARRRR too much a drunkard bro in the show. Yes he drank and fucked but he was still ducking smart outside the battlefield. Purefoy is amazing in the role but the role is limited by this period in HBO before blowing their load on shit like GoT. Same with Agrippa, they take an objective military genius who wins Octavian the goddamned throne through superior generalship and turn him into sister fucker beta boy. Still an amazing show don’t get me wrong.
I miss this show because they had women in situations where it wasn’t cringe girlboss and instead highlighting how nasty and venomously successful they can be. I know it’s history and not writers but >Atia of the Julia being such a psycho bitch even a gigachad like Antony avoids marrying her>Lucius Verenus’s wife offing herself when confronted with the infidelity as a final dear John fuck you>Obviously cleopatra being the bewitching shedevil instigating a civil war
