It goes with the emperor being black

[@superkoopatrooper4879]

@@Kruziik Honestly, I'm obsessed with ancient history on a b1polar level lol so allow me to school you. Romans weren't any one color, not even close. The lines in the sand we draw today on a metaphysical level simply didnt exist back then. If you were Roman, you were Roman. It's very likely that a number of Roman rulers before or after the fall of the republic was not a short hairy Italian We wouldnt really know because they'd be documented as Roman. but it's essentially guaranteed that it was a thing. I know its hard for you to balance that with your totallynotracism but try. Rome stole all the good tech they had from Carthage and other citystates. Literally everything including running water. They did invent the aqueducts though as far as we're aware. But they had a tendency to burn cities to the ground and pour salt on the land so nothing would grow. So they probably invent that either. Lisbon is almost 3,000 years old. Still in use today. Carthage, who built the city, was way more advanced than Rome at the time of the punicwars. Double decker apartments, mass produced ships, art, trade, sudo capitalism etc. They were brown from what we now call Palestine. They lost the war. Which is why you think people like you are responsible for inventing everything when in fact, you invented the China model.

Not to mention the totallynotbraindead claim of "Rome had no art or trade!!!!" (i mean wtf?) I do particularly love your hidden little claim of "Of course WHITE PEOPLE invented genocide" which i should honestly not even have to elaborate further on to show you how dumb that is 💀 (not actually too sure if this was a point of yours, your little pseudo-essay is terribly written.) To top it off, trying to claim "his people" were the ones that somehow thought of the idea to copy better technology from others is probably the most racist thing in this entire comment section lol.

My favorite part of the movie was when the gladiator used the N word and then Denzel says “you ain’t dark enough to use that brotha!” Then they begin rap battling at the colosseum. The slave gets scared and pukes mom’s gyro before rapping about how he knows Denzel’s gonna diss him on how he’s a slave. The gladiator wins but not before Denzel says that he will get him his pretty, and his little dog too. Zzz (played by vin diesel) shows up flying down from a parachuted chariot and brings out a machine gun crossbow. he claims he is robbing Denzel. He looks at the gladiator and drops to his knees, he claims that he is family, and that he would do anything for family. He then says a meteorite will randomly hit the gladiator in the future. A rocky montage goes on where Zzz invents rocket science and builds a rocket out of wood and wine barrels. He says that he loves the gladiator, and says he wishes that he could marry a man, but the evil dictator trumpsitanus has forbidden gay marriages. They both cry and kiss each other as he slowly goes into the rocket. The gladiator reaches into his pocket and pulls out a ring and a note, the note says “marry me?” With a box to check yes or no. The gladiator in tears screams yes. Zzz cry’s and says “for family” the rocket slowly takes off as sad music plays and the gladiator gets on his knees with his arms in the air crying. Before the gladiator escapes he’s approached by a man named ethanius huntius who pulls up in his buggatious cor’vettious horse wagon and claims that Denzel is an evolved chimp from a future world of highly intelligent apes who transplanted his brain into a human in order to be a human and go back in time to meet the original “Caesar” a vine boom happens as ethanius (played by Tom cruise) stares at the camera before running into the distance screaming. The gladiator scoffs and questions reality as the earth slowly trembles behind him. He looks above and sees large ufos blocking the sun before a close up shot at the gladiator as he says “now…. I must really fight for my freedom…. Our…. Freedom) Then the title card happens. Followed by a notice that this film is based on actual historical events. Truly phenomenal movie

It’s just trailer music, doesn’t mean the movie score will follow the same trend. Remember how popular slow versions of rock songs used to be for movies and video game trailers a while back? But they were never used in the actual media Regardless I do feel like Denzel broke his back carrying this movie. But I hope it’s good. Hopefully Napoleon was so bad because he was putting all his effort into this instead

Yes, Lucius Septimius Severus, who ruled as Roman emperor from 193-211 AD, was an African man born in Leptis Magna (present-day Al-Khums, Libya). He was the first African-born Roman emperor, and some say that Black Romans were a central part of Classical culture, serving as emperors, soldiers, traders, poets, philosophers, and more.

Ridley Scott hit a magic note with 2000's 'Gladiator'. He's been trying to step in the same river twice ever since, to no avail.
