>Steven D. Knight's big return to the "Spartacus" Universe with Spartacus: House of Ashur will not go beyond its freshman season at Starz, which has canceled the gladiator drama. Lionsgate Television, which produces the series, is currently shopping it to other platforms, sources tell Deadline.>The Spartacus sequel could not match the buzz and viewership levels of the original 2010 series. Additionally, the makeup of the followup's audience did not quite align with Starz's focus on women and underrepresented audiences, sources said. The sword-and-sandal genre is inherently male-skewing and popular with white viewers.
>>220683614>the original was too based to compete with in 2026
>>220683614Hahahahaaa!!!!GO WOKEGO BROKEwe voted for this
>>220683614I liked the dwarfs actuallycancellation explains bonker ending anyway
That's a shame.
>>220683765>cancelled for having a primarily white male audience>filled with female nudityWow good win there bro
>>220683614Show had too much female nudity for modern woke hollywoodYou can only get away with female nudity nowadays if it's feminist and the director is a woman It's wild that they actually name the audience male and white I actually thought OP made that shit up but they actually said that People don't want to admit this but all modern tv shows are made for women. Heated rivalry, the pitt, for all mankind, yellowjackets etcAll made for women
>>220683614Every chick in the show got naked
>>220683765what the fuck are you even blabbering about, it was basically the same as the old series
>>220683614Devastating news, we get one fucking show for men and they just cancel it, goddammit, everything is made for women and gays already, gonna kms
damn somehow i thought season 2 was confirmed. well if it's true that it's cancelled i hope some other network will make it happen
>>220683995Even paramount said, literally the sheridan shows network, said they don't want to do shows for menLol literally all for women
There was some nice bush in this. Tasteful.
>>220683765it wasnt even woke
>>220683614Who the fuck actually has Starz? Bruce Campbell was saying in an interview that part of what ultimately killed “Ash vs Evil Dead” was that Starz is a C-stringer channel, and piracy for the show was insane because nobody has the channel. Most people just go with HBO and then that’s the end of it.
>>220684098Women because of outlander
>>220684098Whats surprising about it is that apparently Starz tried to buy HBO for 20 billion a couple months ago back when it was still undecided who was going to buy it
>>220683614>Additionally, the makeup of the followup's audience did not quite align with Starz's focus on women and underrepresented audiences
>>220683614Is anyone surprised? They could've made a proper sequel in the same timeline and style, instead of some alt-universe rewrite where one of the most hated characters somehow returns and is the protagonist. All my GOATS are dead. The gods can spread Ashur's cheeks and ram cock in fucking ass.
>>220684224>one of the most hated charactersin what universe was Ashur one of the most hated characters?
>>220683614
>>220683614This is fucking gay fuck Starz and fuck Romans.
>>220684094>protagonist is a black woman who literally rips off a man trying to rape her
>>220683614>what if we took a show that ended a decade ago and revived it with a spinoff about a character everyone hated Brilliant!
>>220684224only theory that explains this outcome is they were desperate to get any of the orginal actors back and only Ashur's actor agreed
>>220683614Fuck you, Starz, you goddamn cowards
>>220684403>about a character everyone hated>>220684224>one of the most hated characters somehow returnThe fuck are you on about?
>>220683614The reboot should have been about Caesar's rise to power and then the fall of the republic. How fucking awesome it would have been to go from sword sandals and boobs to the fall of the republic drama and boobs
>>220684406Or you know, everyone is dead at the end of the show so a sequel is a little tricky
>>220684428That sounds like a colossally expensive show.
>>220684364The protagonist is Ashur. Did you actually watch it?
>>220684425Who liked the slimy rat bastard? He was jew coded.
>>220684256>>220684425>In what universe is the conniving traitorous rapist hated?The real one, where he had his head cut off. The actor played his role to perfection, but the character being brought back to life was never going to be a draw for most fans.>>220684406They could've just gone with a whole new cast. There were still gladiators for another 475 years after the rebellion failed.
I'm so fucking pissed. Starz is completely retarded.
>the show has a white audience? cancel it or humiliate the characterswhy is everything like this nowadays? well back to S01, I guess.
Meanwhile pic related is from Starz and a 3rd season is in development even btw, im not kidding
>>220684614His character was immensely enjoyable. Losing him was a huge hit to the last season.
>>220683614Okay, where can i watch topless scenes?
>>220684897Aznude.com
>>220684930Okay, but who's the ass fucked slave girl in this spin off? In other words, best tits.
>>220684748Its probably got a small budget. It takes a lot more money to make a gladiator show that you cram a black woman into then it does to make a show where you just follow some fags and whores around LA.
>>220684978Here.
>>220684978They were all pretty great
>>220684364she also got her ass beat to a pulp for the first five episodes and never learns how to wield a shield properly because its too heavy for a woman to carry. this was actually a very good way to depict a female protagonist fighting against menit would've been woke if she was some random white female from rome but nubian women were practically dudes
>>220683614They took an extra week between episodes mid season in January and I never picked it up again. Someone spoil me on how it ends
>>220684990You are right, still hurts things turned out like this
>>220685066He didn't watch the show.
>>220683614>choose the least likeable disgusting looking piece of slimey shit from the entire series>make a new series named after him>no one watches
We have to admit unfortunately that one things that probably hurt the show was the promo of the black girl, even if she was great and the show was not woke, im sure a lot of people didn't watch as much just because they thought it was going to be a pozzed lame woke version of spartacus just because of the black girl, it's sad really
>>220685198>least likeableNah I'm not tolerating this revisionist bullshit pretending like Ashur was not well loved during the show
>>220684772I didn't even watch the final 2 seasons without Andy, it just wasn't the same.
Every season had its own title It's fitting that House of Ashur only gets one
>>220685276I was in highschool when the series first aired, all the homies hated Ashur without exception
Instead of just sneering at this like I normally do, it's funny imagining being the target audience. Like a bunch of us moved to Nigeria and we were 12% of the population. And Nigerian TV execs were like "we want to give you some representation".So we're all like "ok I guess" and we turn on the TV all our white characters are early zulu warriors and shit. And then we go "that's weird, but ok" and we keep watching. But then a bunch of these white characters all turn out to be gay trannies at an extremely high rate. So you ask execs what the fuck this means and the execs are like "What? We were being nice to minorities. There's very few gays and trannies and very few of you whites. doesn't that make you one team or something?"Wild to think about this era we live in
>>220685327Maybe you and your pals were too young to watch it lol
>>220685258The thing literally says the audience was not female enough for the channel and it skewed too much towards white males
>>220685384what the fuck are you talking about
>>220685464Read the post. I'm imagining being in a group "helped" by leftist studios. It's actually funny as fuck
>>220685258Seems more like what hurt it is Starz is not the same channel it was in the 2010s when Spartacus or Black Sails were airing, it's now geared towards women's shows like Outlander. House of Ashur was very much in the same style as Blood & Sand/Gods of the Arena.
>>220683803>>220683826>>220683872>>220684073>gooners loseBA BA BA BA BAAAAAAASSSED!
All these people hating on Ashur. He was a great character.
>>220685662Shut up bitch
>>220685690You can be a great character and still hateable. That's probably what most actors playing villains want.
>>220685198Ashur despite being a treacherous villain managed to be likable enough to retain a degree sympathy right through to the end, even after being a murderer and rapist.
>>220685559Wasn’t black sails about a bunch of gay pirates?
>>220683614Spartacus is my favorite show (unironically) and I didn't give a shit about Ashur. Mainly cause it's a what-if bs story, and the thought of Spartacus losing to Ashur of all people is retarded.
>>220683614It was really fucking bad especially the ending
>>220685756Black Sails was Spartacus but for pirates. It was full of sex, violence and constantly naked women. Spartacus also had naked men, and a few gay characters, so did Black Sails.
>>220684224>They could've made a proper sequel in the same timeline and stylehuh? everyone noteworthy is dead or gone. who the fuck would the sequel focus on? one of the roman generals?
And what of good Solonius?
>>220685787wtf the end fight was awesome
>>220685769He didnt lose to ashur per se, he was just defeated in the big battle with crassus
>>220683921Lol. Lmao!
>>220685808Lemme guess, this is all you saw of the entire show?
>>220685798Maybe in a parallel universe Solonius gets to have a good ending and we keep getting Spartacus shows :(
>>220685838It's all anyone with a functioning brain needed to see.
>>220685842I'd watch House of Solonius
>>220685808Ashur was literally killed by a black woman in the original show, LARPer.
>>220685799>hehe sorry chuddy krasus is going to build cheap condos in the arenanah bro it was shit
>>220685866I want to cum on her tits.
>>220685866Very good casting job
>>220685873He won the fight and got killed by the writers, stay mad.
>>220685794God, Max was so fucking hot.
>>220684748> Black male humiliation show> "Blacks are so pampered now!"Face it, it's really women, especially of a certain nose length, who are behind all this
>>220685883maybe you're just boring. ashur suplexing caesar with strobo lights going on was peak tv entertainment
I WANT TITS IN MY MOUTH NOWNOWNOW ASRARHAGASDFG
>>220685861You can just say "yes". We really need to start having a name for these retarded /tv/ posters that never watch any actual films or TV shows and just sit on /tv/ all day complaining about nothing.
>>220685940Aye
>>220685990This post is spiritually mine.
>>220685996Why would anyone watch this trash that already got cancelled? Clearly it was a complete failure.
>>220685464Don't be a disingenuous tardImagine being white and moving to a majority black country, and they want to pander to you, and they do, by making historically black characters white, but also extremely gayOr how about thisImagine you're white, you move in large numbers to China, then they decide to give you better fair representation, the emperor of the Tang dynasty was a blonde haired blue eyed white man who was effortlessly wiser than the actual Han Chinese, and also he was crippled and loved taking cock up the ass and shared Chinese Communist Party values that no one around him does until he lectures them on their imperialist waysThat's literally what Hollywood is doing to blacks right nowBlacks can't celebrate their own culture or history unless it's about the civil rights movement or slaveryOtherwise it's always "did you know the queen of Tudor England was black? Here is Einstein's assistant, he was black and was actually the source of Einstein's most profound insights. The praetorian guards and Hoplites? Totes black, totes proud, and they hated taking slaves, they lecture their white Greco-Roman comrades on how inhumane slavery is and makes them promise to never take slaves in the future, which the yts """promise""" to keep before sneering"
I liked it but it felt like I had already seen it before. It was just season 1 Spartacus without the rebellion.
>>220685066>a very good way to depict a female protagonist fighting against menShe fucking destroyed those guys in >>220685808 like she's in a video game.
yeah no one is reading that
>>220686083He actually watched the show, you didn't.
>>220686107Yes. I will not watch your slop :)
>>220686083>like she's in a video game.whoa....Spartacus....being over the top and unrealistic? next you'll tell me Italy doesn't look like a nuclear blasted hellscape in real life
>>220686128I haven't seen Spartacus either :3 I don't watch /tv/ I just post about them
>>220683614>The Spartacus sequel could not match the buzz and viewership levels of the original 2010 series. Additionally, the makeup of the followup's audience did not quite align with Starz's focus on women and underrepresented audiences, sources said.

>>220683614That was some phenomenal mother & daughter casting
>>220685996triggered the retard something fierce with this
>>220686083ashur beats the shit out of her right after this btw
>>220686213ok but are they naked?
>>220686551Yes and it's great.
>>220685838to be fair, it got MUCH, MUCH WORSE from here
>>220686671She gets walloped right after that.
>>220686551This is Spartacus, anon.
>>220686685No, she comes back to the ludus, instantly wins the doctore's respect by beating up all of the men, and goes on a girlboss bonanza for the rest of the show where she outfights and makes a mockery out of male gladiators constantly.It's complete trash.
>>220686735this doesn't happen by the way
>>220686735Poorest bait ITT
>>220686735Why are you talking to me like I haven't seen the show? What's the point of making up imaginary shit?
>>220686077Yeah exactly. Isn't this shit crazy when you actually imagine how shameless and braindead you would have to be to accept these "awesome favors"
>>220684098Legitimately only bought a year subscription to it for $10 for Ashur, Starz is absolute nigger aids outside of a few shows that ended years ago (Ash vs Evil Dead, Spartacus, Black Sails)And I do mean nigger aids, christ the black movies
>>220686747Legitimately does happen, the fuck do you meanShe gets shit on once and by the end of the episode the Doctore is literally standing up for her and saying she deserves your heckin' respect chud!It's absurd
>>220686747>>220686756>"she gets beat up every time before she inevitably wins!">"so she does ultimately win every time?">"nu... nuh uh!"LOL every time with you apologists
>>220683614The whole "alternate universe where the climax of the original series didn't happen" idea was retarded to begin with.
You're trying too hard bro.
>Ashur literally kills Julius Caesar who is depicted like a whiny bitch>black girlboss gladiator always wins in the end against the heckin' mean chuds>...>No, um, actually, it's not a woke show at all.Not only is it hopelessly, desperately woke but it's also just fucking pants-on-head retarded. The main story is ridiculous.
>>220686800>literally says in the OP it was cancelled for having too male and white an audience
>loses his shit and starts spammingEvery time.
>220686794well now you're just making stuff up
It was never going to last. The show was enjoyable, but it was obvious that it was trying to bridge the world before it went to shit with the new woke one and the new woke one demands a level of ideological purity that sort of compromise can’t have and yet if you make your show too much like the old world, it won’t even get created or it will be incinerated by the woke inquisition. I liked it, but figured they weren’t making another season. AI is the only hope at fixing or putting a stop to this bullshit.
>>220683614darnthe number of shows with unabashed nudity continues to drop
>>220686865NTA, but that's cope on Starz part. Viewership numbers were terrible. Under 100K by the end.
I'm surprised so many anons liked it. They already did black girl boss so they just extra double downed with a black as sin mandingo crazy African spear chucking monkey bitch. The whole thing felt like they were trying to recreate something they didn't have the talent for.
>>220686551She tried to hold out but we finally got to see Claudia Blacks tits in the last episode.
I need my going into shows machine so I can rape Hilara.
>>220687190Proofs?
>>220683614The real reason is everyone pirated the show because nobody fucking has Starz.
>>220686213me in the back middle
>>220687222Watch the damn show. Or just look up aznude
they should do another gannicus show instead
Wait so technically Lionsgate owns the show now because of the split with Starz so that means it's still possible for the show to get picked up
>>220685198I loved Ashur
>>220687311I don't know, there's only so many scenes of gannicus smooth talking a bar maid in soft lighting with his thumb on her lower lip I can take.
>>220686777The whole hook back in the day was that they had first run on new movies. The problem with that now is that A) There's no good movies anymore that anyone gives a shit about. B) Every studio's got their own streaming service now, and they've obviously going to keep the sweetest plums for themselves.
Starz is down the crapper innit
>>220683614>could not match the buzz and viewership levels of the original 2010 series>audience did not quite align with Starz's focus on women and underrepresented audiencesI review bombed every episode without watching a single second. Get fucked.
>>220687816Congrats, their ONLY show aimed at men is now gone
>>220687852My work here is done. Night night Starz
>>220685798
>>220687816Why would you want one of the few shows left with copious female nudity gone?
>>220683614>the makeup of the followup's audience did not quite align with Starz's focus on women and underrepresented audiencesnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo>>220687952kek
>>220687988Maybe they should have put that shit in the trailers. Too late now. No great loss I suppose
>>220683614I'm really disappointed but also think it's okay. House of Ashur was beautiful and a surprise. The ending was one of the best endings of all time, subverting expectations while also being cool and making the audience feel happy and satisfied. Which is something that is really rare in movies and tv, endings are at most bland or leave the audience miserable.
>>220688099I think they'll find another network to pick it up. They already have everything ready to go. Something like HBO could slide right in without issue.
>Wait, Spartacus, spare me! Maybe I can polish your spear, if you catch my meaning. Or perhaps instead I can indulge in the shit from ass that falls like words from mouth. Right here in front of the whole ludus. Gratitude for your mercy.
>>220683614I didn't even consume this shit. The trailer sucked dick.
>>220688019They cast nothing but sexpots in the usual Spartacus outfits
>>220685662>the femanon is real and she’s posting on /tv/>she’s fat, stinky, and jealous
>>220683803kys, nudity is degenerate
>>220688251Much like the first season the first half was largely ass but about halfway through it started picking em.Biggest issues to me were>not working on the cast of the gladiators, shit was mainly confined to black chick, the older white guy, and his son>to much reliance on black girl stronk but doesn't know how to gladiate but still manages to win by the skin of her teeth for to long >to much effort trying to make Ashur into the better man against dickbutt rival laniesta, Caesar, Caesars wife, etcUnfortunately with the way it ended the first season it feels like it would have mostly resolved those issues
>>220688266They cast nothing now. Maybe don't advertise shit if you want people to watch it.
>>220688597They were all over the advertising.
>>220688678Are you talking about that black female gladiator? She was all over the advertising. Bad move. No wonder it's ogre.
>>220688727No, I mean the various sexpots.
>>220688742Didn't see any of that. Just that the main gladiator looked female and black. I regret nothing. Keep em coming.
>>220688413I was really sick of Caesar. They picked a terrible actor for him. But when Ashur suplexed him and killed him, I jumped and shouted kino. Very excited to see where they go next. I have hope they'll find another network.
>>220685198>no one watchesThe problem they directly say is not that nobody watched, but that the ones who did watch were the wrong ones.
>>220688766>I saw a single /tv/ thread and got mad
>>220688918>madDidn't read any threads. Didn't watch any episodes. Seen the trailer and bombed it from there. Enjoy rewatches of your black female gladiator show, faggot.
>>220683614>shopping it to other platformsEh, still a chance then. I honestly don't care much about the show anymore, if they could just leak the script for what they planned for s2 after how the season ended I'd be happy.
>>220685327>highschoolers' opinionkek alright then
>>220685384based schizoposting
>>220688766>anon filters out everything in his vision but black womenDare I say, based?
>>220688769same, he was such a downgrade from the previous actor that it made it that much more satisfying to see him eat shit in the end, great season finale even though the rest of the season was uneven imo
>>220683614Maybe they should have had this image be the poster instead of the autistic screeching gorilla ape nigger bitch.
>>220689309>>220688727>he's still raging
I really thought it was about yas queen slay but black, ugly and ruining spartacus.Too bad they marketed it like a woke shit
>>220685798>And what of Good Solonius? >Is he safe?
Unfortunate.
>>220685798https://youtu.be/Hx9otM_pNBc?si=j3djsaX48T9dIXE9
>>220689867>it seems in your anger, you killed him>no... I couldn't have. He was not without skill nor desire to live! I still feel Good Solonius' connection to the force within me!
>>220689966>He was written to try to run from Spartacus and get cut down>But after seeing what good shape the actor was in, they changed it so he actually puts up a fight and dies bravely
>>220690281Can you imagine i they had him go>NO! SPARTICUS! I WILL SUCK YOUR COCK! >I WILL EAT YOUR SHIT IN FRONT OF ALL OF CAPUA
>>220690306The mind reels
>>220690306why are you spamming this in every single thread on the catalog? you're solving captchas on a Friday night for this
>>220690327did...did you seriously think only one person filled the entire catalog yesterday?
>>220690336Nowhere did I say that. I said you're spamming that in every thread that comes onto the catalog.
>>220690366
>>220688213And apparently it fucking worked.
>>220686161I can sort of understand not wanting the white guy audience. Starz' bread and butter audiences are women and black people. Both of these demographics are easy to please in terms of budget and both of them will set their subscription to monthly automatic payments and then never think about it again. White guys prefer expensive subject matter, have tastes and preferences that diverge considerably from those of blacks and women, and do shit like subscribe to watch one specific show and then cancel the subscription immediately after finishing said show. Granting giant budgets to shows that attract these guys when you could instead spread that budget out to make five times as many cheap rom coms or whatever for more reliable demographics is bad business.Basically businesses hate white male customers because white guys have standards and put their money back in their wallets the instant you fail to meet those standards. And this is before even factoring in woke, which has a complex chicken and egg dynamic with this phenomenon.
>>220683614>the makeup of the followup's audience did not quite align with Starz's focus on women and underrepresented audiences, sources said. The sword-and-sandal genre is inherently male-skewing and popular with white viewers.HOW DARE THOSE TOXIC STRAIGHT WHITE MEN ENJOY OUR SHOW
>>220687952kek this is ten times funnier than the dumbass toilet paper roll story
>>220690035
>>220687952The good news is he was tricked into watching a great show.
>>220688343>im terrified of nekkid women Your homosexuality is more degenerate Kill YOURself, faggot
>>220683614I mean, given the climax, Ashur would've had to have assumed the role of Caesar. It was a pleasantly distracting farce, but I don't think that it had that much mileage left in it. I kind of viewed the implication there could be more as a joke about how every show nowadays needs to have unresolved threads to support sequels, but I guess someone took it seriously enough that it had to be explicitly cancelled.
>>220684425Kys revisionist troon.Ashur was hated by everyone. You liking him just affirms your shit taste and confirms why you're into cutring your cock off.
>>220690848>but I don't think that it had that much mileage left in it.True, S2 would have basically been end-game from the get-go but that's fine. S1 was very very slow to get things going but alas, what a shame we may never get to see it reach its proper conclusion.
>>220690613nothing about that image implies he eventually watched spartacus thougheversneedit
>>220690881Unlike you, I actually posted on /tv/ when Spartacus was airing, and Ashur was 100% beloved here.
>>220690881>brings up trannies unprompted
>>220690881i really wonder if somewhere there were moralfags who actually hated ashur. maybe reddit? seems too moralfaggy even for them
>>220683614That weasely faggot got his own spinoff? Who the fuck would watch that? Apparently no one.
>Almost done downloading last episode of Spartacus>Mom says she doesn't want me watching that show>Says it's not accurate>Says Rome was good, and the slaves were violent animals>I tell her that words fall from mouth like shit from ass>I set upon her with a gladus I made from toilet paper rolls and dragon dildos>Dad runs upstairs to see what the fuss is about>Tell him his whore wife stands fucking Roman>He stands Roman as well>My two cats (named Ashur and Andy after the honored dead) set upon him like drunks to wine>We fight them off and hold the top of the stairsI have barricaded the upper floor, and liberated the neighbors wireless after they cut my connection but we run low on boxed wine and hotpockets. I stand with choice, go out the window and set upon the Roman shits who loiter in house like fleas on dog, or lead my cats in bold attemt to raid the neighbors fridge (and fuck their daughters with my raging cock). Tell me brothers, what is the best course of action that leads to swift death of Roman scum, and quick return to watch episode 10 of based Spartacus?
>>220690881Ashur was based as fuck.
>>220690922>hereNice self own tranny. Next'll be suicide.>>220690931>doesn't deny the claimKek, see above.
>>220683614Sad but not surprising. They fucked up by not bringing back the original Caesar and then veering straight into fan fiction with Ashur killing him. Should have just the triumvirate series when they had the chance
>>220691132>veering straight into fan fictionI think the basic premise of the show made it quite clear this was alternate history.
>>220683614I love Ivana's fake titties. Hope she's hired on another show where she gets em out
>>220691247Her very real fat ass also a delight
>>220691132The original show was at its best in the ludus, it fell off a bit after the rebellion started. Moving it back to the ludus for Ashur was a smart move, they just didn't execute it well. I think a major problem is they just didn't have any competent actors to play the secondary characters, so they had to lean heavily on the small handful of people who were qualified to have speaking roles, and thus we didn't get anything like all the fun minor character drama going on in the ludus in the original show.
>>220683614yeah no shit. the show was absolute dogshit. who the fuck gave a shit about ashur enough to want to watch a series starring him? Fucking retards. should have just made a Gannicus origin story instead
>>220687310I did. They don't show much. Claudia's holding the goods the entire time.
>>220683614>Spartacus: HOUSE OF WOKEwent broke hahahaha
>>220683614NOOOOOO first season was fucking great... fuck this gay earth man.
>>220683614That's shame but expected. I knew the show didn't had a chance the moment I saw their new actor for Caesar
>>220683614AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>220685066And yet still got taken seriously in the arena and beat male gladiators. How is that not utterly ridiculous and therefore woke?
>>220683803>sheboon main character>a woman gladiator (they existed as a B act and only fought against other women or midgets) somehow allowed to fight male gladiators (lol)>for every crumble of female nudity you have to go through tons of dicks and male buttswoah I really can't thank my jewish overlords enough for giving me this based show.
>Shitty writing>Focus on the female gladiator>Fake titsNo thank you.
>>220693518>getting axed due to straight white guys watching the showkek what the fuck
>>220693418why the fuck would she ruin herself with all that shitty surgery?

>>220690567Unhinge jaw and swallow cock, Roman catamite
>>220683614>The sword-and-sandal genre is inherently male-skewing and popular with white viewers.So they admit they already knew this yet still greenlit this black female gladiator shit? Brilliant.
>>220683614> Ashur dies> b-but what if Spartacus multiverse?yeah why do something fresh and original?
>>220687988I have standards and want my female nudity to be in shows that I actually like. I'm not so desperate that'll I'll accept tits and ass if it comes with a black girlboss. Fuck that.
>>220693611all she's had is the boobs
>white dudes watch our show? CANCEL IT
>Woke nigger reboot cancelledBased.
>>220683614shame. i kinda enjoyed the show
You fucking cunts.
Bizarre. It was the most watched thing on their app for almost 6 months
>>220683614>Additionally, the makeup of the followup's audience did not quite align with Starz's focus on women and underrepresented audiences, sources said.AHAHAHAHAHA>>220683803>made for white male audience>is about the struggles of le strong black female warrior against sexism and discriminationPick one.
Admitting that you're canceling a show because too many white people watched it is so fucking weird. At the very least take the income you get from them to fund your gay black tranny shows. Tentpole series exist for a reason and every other platform relies on them.
>>220683614Meanwhile OUTLANDER SEASON 8 BABYYYY
>>220683614Turns out a black female gladiator isn't popular. Get woke, go broke.
>>220694281No, it's>why aren't white dudes watching the pozzed black female gladiator? CANCEL IT
A woke showrunner didn't understand that the pendulum is swinging back.
>>220695821>Admitting that you're canceling a show because too many white people watched it is so fucking weird.They're not saying that, though. They're admitting they have to cancel it because no one wants to watch it at all. It's too woke for white men, and white men are normally the target audience for these types of shows.
>>220683614>the "Spartacus" UniverseReminder journos are the illiterate retard kikes too dumb to work in law/medicine/finance.
>>220696348but there's tits and scantily clad women in it too... watch it you FUCKING WHITE RACIST PERVERTS, WATCH YOUR FILTH AND IGNORE THE LAUGHABLY SHIT BLACK FEMALE PROTAGONIST YOU CATTLE FUCK
>>220696455It has degenerate sex scenes with zero titillation, typical for woke goyslop. I’m chuffed it got cancelled.
>>220696401That's exactly what they're saying. Both lionsgate and starz previously stated that the show was doing well and they're happy with the numbers. It remained on their most streamed list for months after the finale.
>>220683765I thought going woke meant fewer white people and no female nudity?
>>220683826>Show had too much female nudity for modern woke hollywoodI doubt a show gets cancelled for that. If anything it simply wouldn't have been greenlit or would have had a lot of rewrites.>Following Starz’s split from Lionsgate, House of Ashur is no longer owned by the network.>To shore up its financial future, Starz has been leaning into more owned series.And that's the real reason. They don't want to prop up shows they don't own.
>>220683614Im kinda glad, I didn't like that Ashur killed Caesar and yes I know this is some sought of alternate reality
>>220693579>And yet still got taken seriously in the arena and beat male gladiators. How is that not utterly ridiculous and therefore woke?Ashur was being laughed out of the fucking arena for parading her like she was a threat and the first guy she fights was beating the shit out of herIs she not allowed to have any sort of character progression at all? Just show up and die because it's le heckin "realistic" in a show where the main character literally came back from the dead? And why the absolute FUCK would you NOT take EVERYONE you fight seriously in a fight to the death?
>>220683614All modern tv shows are made for women
>>220693666For a 1 to 2 season miniseries it can work>Ashur gets punished in the afterlife by showing him what happens if he had succeeded>still gets no respect>most Roman's are cunts to him at every turn>he wins over a big tiddy beautiful blonde but in the end she'll inevitably turn against him when she finds out what Ashur did to her father causing her dickbutt uncle to ruin her and her mother's life>ultimately causes Rome to fall because he took Caesar to suplex city>in the end everything's burning, everyone loyal to him have been killed or themselves turned against himAll so Lucretia can attempt to break him in death>inb4 ending swerve and Ashur outplays her in the end
>>220683765NIGGUH I CAN'T AFFORD GAS
>>220684098>Ash vs Evil DeadI saw one episode and didn't like brown people and strong women.
>>220683614>the show doesn't have enough strong women and niggers>gets cancelledIt's a bit ironic that all these retards think the solution to inequality is to simply swap the scales instead of balancing them.
>>220693579It is.
>>220696378They should realized it wouldn't stick, I mean how people liked naevia.
>>220693418The Pan’s labyrinth girl showed her tits for the show cancelled after one season.
>>220684748That's fine. It's an obviously trans show for a trans and trans fetishist audience. Spartacus getting hijacked by feminism is not the same thing. Be better, child.
>>220690281Based
None of the characters were charismaticEven garbage like the boys had Homelander and Soldier boy
>>220687952Lol.
>>220683614>underrepresented audiencesjesus fucking christ
>ceaser being a rival of some uppity ex-slave
clown world
>>220683614while it was worse than the og show, it was still better than anything running now. A shame.
>>220683614Why does he look and why is he dresses like a skinnier version of pirkkaukkohttps://i.ylilauta.org/2a/8c/2a8c6b5146069ff5.mp4 https://i.ylilauta.org/bd/4a/bd4a9479ba94892e.mp4
>>220697424>Is she not allowed to have any sort of character progression at all?Um, no? She's a woman. And I'm not saying that just to be edgy or whatever. The only progression arc for a woman trying to be a gladiator is>woman tries to be gladiator>woman diesThat's it. Having her get beat to a pulp every episode honestly made it even more woke and ridiculous. The fact that she didn't just die at any point and ended up winning fights anyway. So fucking dumb. And no I'm not buying the "it's fantasy, none of it is realistic" excuse. If it actually was fantasy, then why not cast an 80 pound hot white girl and have her win every fight? No see, they tried to be "realistic" by casting a "tough" looking ugly girl so im just following their own logic. Bottom line is, nobody likes watching girlboss slop. They want exactly what the first show was. Badass dudes killing each other surrounded by titties. Minus the last season where they did in fact start with the women fighting bullshit. But at least one of them was hot.
>>220701490Cringe.
>>220698176>liked naevia
>>220701724People loved Naevia 1.
>>220701908>lovedNo one loved her as her character was irrelevant, she was just attractive.
>>220693953you are blind homie
>>220702486No, I'm not, I've just seen her in things for a long time. She looks the same other than the tits.
>>220702544bro, you need to be able to discern shitty plastic surgery. Her face is butchered.
>>220702602>it just IS ok, stop questioning me!
>>220702602And yet she looks exactly the same.
>>220702687You're right man. Enjoy yourself.
>>220702544how the fuck can you not see how bogged she is
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>220702701Why do you keep defaulting to the most vague, generic shit? Why can't you claim anything specific?
>>220702701no point arguing with him, he's lost in the sauce.
>>220702722doesn't matter how specific people are with you, you'll just. "nuh-uh" until we're blue in the face.
>>220702693>>220702726>can't back up anything he saysPredictable.
>>220702744>doesn't matter how specificBro you haven't been ANY bit specific.
>>220691797lol they barely can move
>>220702726at least he can see the tits are fake, that's something. i've seen fags who'll deny even that when it comes to their waifu
>>220702744that's awfully convenient for you
>>220685939When you put it that way, it sounds even MORE woke.
>>220702759her surgeries are pretty obvious if you know what you're looking for. You're saying she looks the same, so I can't help you. If you want to keep believing that's she's natural, despite her being willing to have really shitty bolt ons, I'm not going to stop you. Enjoy yourself. Have a good day.
>>220702759does caesar's wife also seem natural to you?
>>220702803>her surgeries are pretty obvious if you know what you're looking for.This is yet another nonspecific vague nothing answer. Again.
>>220702803>>220702744dudemake a claim or shut the fuck upyou're just dancing around saying fuck all
>>220702825and I already told you why, again.
>>220702838No, you gave bullshit excuses. Because you can't give specifics, cos you don't actually know what you're talking about.
>>220702833alright, watch:it looks like she's had a nose job, but I'm not sure about it because it could just be she aged. She very clearly has paralyzed her face as she has a hard time emoting, so she's botoxed out. Her duck mouth makes it very obvious she's had lip filler. The way her body looks, I suspect she does lipo as well. Now lets proceed with the "nuh-uhs"
>>220683614What the fuck does Starz even have that makes them act this pompous??Absolute retarded nigger company. I will NEVER not be bitter over Ash vs Evil Dead being cancelled. Anybody remember the Stars bunnies?https://vimeo.com/248094225
>>220702869>Her duck mouthShe's had big lips the entire time. When is a supposed before when she had thin lips?I'm sure you'll ignore this and just claim it's nuh-uh but it should not be remotely difficult to back it up.
No fucking way they actually said they cancelled because the audience is white menNo fucking way
>>220702929people with big lips aren't immune to thinking they need lip filler. Lip filler isn't even about making lips look bigger anymore, it's about having "that look" and she has it. She probably had nice tits before her surgery too, that didn't stop her.
>>220683614>Additionally, the makeup of the followup's audience did not quite align with Starz's focus on women and underrepresented audiences, sources said. The sword-and-sandal genre is inherently male-skewing and popular with white viewers.this is some disney level retardedness >we thought the people who didn't like it before would like it now! but only the same people who made it popular then watched it!
>>220702969the biggest lie women tell each other:>OMG it looks so natural!!!
>>220686852what was their angle with the black chick. The show runners were clearly aware of the political climate and still went with that
>>220702969You didn't answer the question. Where's the before and after? There are real actual telltale signs with lip filler, the same as tits, and she doesn't show the former. Filler isn't magic just going up a size like a video game slider, like fake tits they make a fundamental change to the shape of the mouth. You can look at someone like Dove Cameron and there's a very clear before and after where her mouth completely changed.
>>220683614>sword-and-sandal genre is inherently male-skewingDuh. Making a show like this should be an easy “w”.“Okay, so, let’s give the main character a wealthy nemesis to overcome, a man with status that wrongs him personally, belittling him based on their perceived differences, maybe rich guy sold off main characters sister into slavery, and killed his father, and every henchmen the bad guy has should be a cool, or scary, masculine guy, that looks like he would be a tough bastard. We also should have other guys on the show that learn to respect the main character due to bravery, competency, and honor, becoming loyal allies, and friends. Maybe have a couple die tragically defending the main character, fueling the main guys fire for taking down the evil rich guy. Let’s have some interesting choreography for the fight scenes, maybe neat weapons, and fights based on old gladiatorial games that were rare. Let’s cast a bunch of young pretty women that are barely dressed, and show off a nice rack or two every episode. The main girl for the main character will be the hottest one, and she can be the daughter or niece of the rich bad guy. We should also not have any man ass or dick on the show, because that shit’s fucking gay, and men hate gay shit.”Alright, so here’s the show they could have made. Pretty much any guy here could take this, and make a successful show. If you kept production up, and had an annual season, in the desert of good shows on at the moment, it would get crazy word of mouth, multiple seasons easy. Wow, how fucking hard is this shit? The end of the show is him killing the rich guy, and taking over his estate by marrying the hottest girl, who was a relation to the main bad guy. They have kids, one is a son he names after the most popular ally that died fighting alongside him. I bet you could even plug this concept into an AI engine, and have it write the episodes.
>>220687952kek. Rome sucks.

This thread was more positive on the show than any episode discussion.
>>220704034>>220703934A beautiful woman. I was surprised she was in her mid 30s in The Flash, I thought she was like 20.
