EVERY POST IN THIS THREAD BEARS THE FUCKING MARK OF ASHUR
I think we're getting a kino fight next ep
>>217172878still mad achillia didn't actually have to fight the midgets
>>217172912shit got me too.
>>217172859Jaime Slater full frontal
>>217172931I was kind of hoping she'd fight them and lose terribly, just to kind of upset the apple cart and show that we're not just redoing a "lowly gladiator rises to become a legend!" storylinethat was Spartacus, Achillia is just some random womanit seems way more appropriate that Ashur's prized horse should actually just lose, and he gets set back to square 1 by a trio of midgets>yeah dumbass what were you thinking? She's a woman, and she's not even a very good fighter but I guess we're doing the hero storyline afterall
>>217172957Isnt that the writers wife? Man I hate when fake tits are in shows like this. but nice
>>217172957holy tummy
>>217172912>she does like 2 fast attacks with her swords that don't actually do anything>WOAH, SHE'S USING HER SPEED TO HER ADVANTAGE JUST LIKE WE TRAINED HER>YOU MIDGETS SHOULD BE THANKFUL YOU DO NOT FACE THE GODDESS OF DEATH, SHE IS TRULY FEARSOME!can they dial it back on sucking her dick so much automatically? It was 2 seconds into the fight and everyone was already saying how amazing she is, just for....fighting properly as a dimacherus?
>>217173001There's backstage photos of Achillia with another female gladiator, presumably during her recovery Proculus secures his own gladiatrix and that'll be her fight for the finale.Makes sense if Korris gets to kill the midges now I suppose
>>217173143To be fair it was amazing she survived for so long
>>217172957I remember a historian, during the original Spartacus run, being asked if it was historically accurate. He said no, not at all, but despite that it might nevertheless be the only modern tv show a real Roman time traveler would intuitively "get" because Roman entertainment was the same level of over-the-top sleazy and gratuitous and soapy and disdainful of historical accuracy.
>>217173259they just haven't shown us anything that made her earn it thoughshe constantly struggles in training, even against her fellow trainees, and when she was preparing for the midget trio she never figured out how to fight 3 on 1, she just kept getting her ass kicked and Ashur was like>shut the fuck up about her not being ready, she's in the primus and that's thatthere is really no universe where she had any business surviving that long against, let alone DEFEATING, a fully-trained male Mermillo
>>217173464>she never figured out how to fight 3 on 1But she defeated the 3 guys during training
Viridia's modern day feminist rant to Ashur is one of the most tone deaf pieces of writing I've ever seen. As a Roman noblewoman she's one of the most privileged people in the world during this time period, she doesn't get to choose her husband? So what? This show has shown time and time again that Roman women can do whatever and whoever they want with impunity and here she is preaching to a former slave, a man who is still treated like scum and only exists as a pawn of Crassus about her hardships while slave gladiators train around her and one of them lies near death.OG series Ashur would have raped her on the spot
>>217172957Literally who
>>217173517that scene wasn't far from claudia black being asked "you listen to your husband lol? don't you know it's current year of our lord jupiter"
>>217173517Don't forget the commoner women and slave girls get routinely raped in public on every street corner in this universe and everyone treats it like a funny joke or just ignores it. A patrician girl who actually gets some protection against random surprise sex is even more privileged than merely being wealthy.
>>217173510oh, did she? My badit still feels really rushed and like they're just trying to rehash the underdog story that spartacus had when it really doesn't work for her at allSpartacus we knew, we knew about his wife, his values, his historyAchillia just has a vague tragic backstory that Ashur basically handwaves away with that painfully cliche line "the future is what matters"What does Achillia actually want? What does she really care about? What's driving her, except that she has no other options?We don't know and frankly it's hard to care, because even within the ludus her only actual rival or antagonistic force is a weak-willed beta whose OWN DAD prefers Achillia over him and keeps lecturing him about not being a mysoginist Spartacus had to actually earn his spot, Achillia just puts a single scratch on Doctore and he decides>I love her. She has my respect. None of you will touch her or disrespect her or I'll kill you myselfand keep in mind, this happened literally minutes after she ripped a guy's dick off with her bare hands in front of everybody and then tried to murder said Doctore in a wild frenzy
>>217173681I don't think they are rehashing spartacus arc at all, it feels more like penguin with ashur fucking achilla for his own gain
>>217172859Why are all the dicks prosthetic?
>>217174009It kind of fits with the show's commitment to make absolutely everything cartoonishly larger than life. I think the actual reason though is that porn has distorted everyone's perception of what a normal cock looks like, so real flaccid cocks would look too small to many in the audience.
The zesty doctore is gonna die isnt he
>>217174183probably
>>217174183him being gay really came out of nowhere and feels totally unnecessaryreminds me of the whole sideplot in original show season 3 when they decided Aggron was suddenly gay and he had that weird love-triangle tension where his buttboy wanted to fuck the piratewent nowhere, meant nothing
>>217173154Please please please have them fight topless!
>they didn't give her one of these to make up for her crippled handmissed kino opportunity
>>217175051The Roman crowd is still reeling about the idea of a woman gladiator. There's no way they're ready for the Scissor!
>>217175086scissor me timbers
Wake me up when Claudia Black has a sex scene.
>>217175581She's been eaten out and fingered but kept her robes on for both and it's implied she got fucked by Ashur's gladiators off-screen. I think it's safe to say she won't be appearing naked at this point
Is it just me or is Caesar's actor bogged?
>>217175831last one was way better. this one is some soap opera faggot
>>217175831He's awful, glad he was only around for one episode
>>217175581>>217175641Why the fuck would they cast someone who isn't willing to get naked, I heard every actor in STARZ shows sign something that says they need to get naked if the show demands in
>>217175904>shows somethingSigns something *
>>217175831he looks like AI
>>217173517Its not about saying roman women were underprivileged. The point is that there are two types of roman women. Those who do as men tell them to, and those that forge their own fates. Look at how her mom acts, secret plots and stuff against her husband's wishes. She's just saying that she's gonna stop being a puss and grab the reins.
>>217175904I guess she's got a little leeway because she's the only name value on the show. Kind of a cop out when Lucy Lawless was in the same position in the original series and had some of the most explicit nudity in the show
>>217173681>and keep in mind, this happened literally minutes after she ripped a guy's dick off with her bare hands in front of everybody and then tried to murder said Doctore in a wild frenzyThis is not really accurate to what happened at all. Her ripping his dick off was in self defense mid-rape, and only one guy was around when she did it, they all came running after. And Doctore is the one who attacked her in a frenzy, she was fighting for survival. You make it sound like she went mad and attacked both the original guy and doctore for no reason.
>>217175965>>217176004the shill has arrived
>>217174392How does something 'come out of nowhere' in the first episode of a new series? It's not like we saw Doctore for half a season before he was revealed as gay, it was setup pretty much immediately that he was.
Who's the best girl?
>>217176004You can't just go ripping a guy's dick off>they just ran in and sawyeah they saw one of their sworn brothers, their friend, who they've trained with and bonded with on the ground screaming holding a bloody hole that used to be his dick and ballsand Achillia did that to him, this new WOMAN who disgraces their entire profession just by being therethey would have thrown the bitch off the cliff immediately They most certainly would not have forgotten about the incident and forgiven her and listened to Doctore saying "hands off" just because she managed to draw a little blood from him in a fight
How are people still complaining about the woman being able to fight men, in the original show Naevia ended up killing probably hundreds of romans lol
>>217176178it was just as bullshit back then as it is now and the handling of Nu-Naevia's character is one of the loudest and most valid criticisms of the later seasons
>>217176178because showrunners/writers are retarded enough to repeat the mistake
>>217176178Back then threads were mostly full of fans of the show who begrudgingly put up with the Naevia scenes. Now half the threads are filled with people triggered over the trailers who didn't even watch the show.
>>217176250except they always talk in detail about scenes that happened and you just gaslight that what they are seeing didn't happen and they couldn't have watched it
>>217177600grok is this real
>>217176073Any full frontals from top left?
>>217175581>Wake me up when Claudia Black has a sex scene.Keep me also informed, so I can skip the scene. Nobody wants to see her old and busted tits.
>>217176073Messia
>>217177870She gets naked on the show, where have you been?
>>217177870They've all been naked except Cossutia and Horatia
>>217177967I wanna see em
>>217175904N
>>217176073So Eleda 100% dies, right? She has her own teeny-tiny side plot going, but the only reason to develop a story that small is for a cheap character death. Then her boyfriend gets 5% character growth.
>>217178232I'm not sure, she's barely even a character, all we know about her is that she's a prostitute. She just seems like she's there to fill the sex scene quota
>>217178046Right here, I'm just asking for screengrabs and webms.
