How Accurate Is Gladiator II? | Extreme Things Done in the Colosseum

[@memyself3510]

As someone who has visited it, I will tell you you can’t comprehend how big it is til you’re standing inside of it in person. It’s literally jaw dropping. Easily rivals our biggest modern stadiums, built thousands of years ago

[@charlesleger8628]

"Extremely morally flexible" sounds like a term we should use more these days. Lately, so many people fall in this category sadly.

[@aarongraham3327]

Same as it always has been since the beginning and until the end it will remain.

[@chiquita683]

I couldnt imagine a Roman Gladiator being defeated by TDS but here we are

[@Hannah-v8o]

Could you explore the history of singers and entertainers? Who were the earliest performers, and how did singing evolve over time? How far back does the tradition of singing go?

[@Born2Fuck92]

That’s gay

[@17th_Prime]

I love how each Gladiator film depicts the moral insanity of the Caesars.

[@Commander.Starfleet]

Wonder why it took so long before someone said that maybe one person having that much power, regardless of who it is, shouldn't exist.

[@Truckngirl]

Tom Blank is a national treasure. Long live the King of Narration!

[@emayaii]

Poor guy, sounds like he needs some cold medicine or something lol

[@giraffesinc.2193]

All Hail Tom Blank!!

[@Ninewave1]

Gladiator 2 had sharks in the flooded coliseum battle but the water that filled the stadium is from freshwater aqueducts. Come on Ridley Scott!

[@michaelmayhem350]

Dude is like 90 give him a break. Dementia makes things hard

[@chiquita683]

He probably wrote the whole thing with ChatGPT. Once the check cleared they couldnt do nothing

[@MrexcitementSamurai]

Sharks can go in Fresh Water for awhile.

[@demonpriest-5666]

Bull sharks are the largest fresh water sharks and can live in different salinity levels

[@YaePublishing]

Bull/Zambezi sharks can live in both fresh & saltwater.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

The narrator makes this channel. Thanks, WH!!

[@AceKite00]

I find myself always being reminded that the Colosseum was made after Nero's time. I can only imagine the spectacles he wouldve put on.

[@Friendship1nmillion]

Think of what Julius Caesar would have instructed . 🙋 ♑✍️🇳🇴🇦🇺

[@landonglenn9214]

Seeing a new video from yall is always a plus to my day

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Very educational. Thanks for posting.

[@truongtholam8318]

One question: Which Roman emperor had the most extravagant lifestyle in Roman Empire?

[@DorktimeBwuds]

It’s as historically accurate as Ridley Scott’s other movies, I’m sure.

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

That the Coliseum was once owned by the Frenchbread family is critical.

[@mirthenary]

You guys may have done it already, but I'd like to see a video on Göbekli Tepe, if you haven't. 😁

[@cherryblossoms85]

I read on the internet that there was plans to re-open the Colosseum. Wonder if it has happened yet. It'd bee cool.

[@colincolin5696]

How accurate is gladiator II… Gladiator II: Black emperor… 😅

[@kellychuang8373]

Really can highly doubt that's possible too.

[@hanson467]

Lucius Septimius Severus (145-211) is sometimes referred to as the African Emperor because he was born in Leptis Magna, which is now in Libya. It’s not thought that he was actually black or not.

[@adnanomer9089]

If you watched the movie you'll know that he isn't the emperor

[@hanson467]

@@adnanomer9089 I’ll agree with you because I’ve not seen it yet.

[@kellychuang8373]

@@adnanomer9089 Yeah that explains it though never was into the Gladiator movies and this sequel really isn't for me either.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks for this! ⚔

[@classicbandgeek]

Your narrator already has a great voice and doesn't need those clown-ass imitations of people. I would hope to think the audience is smart enough to know when he's citing a quote. I don't remember WH always being this way.

[@davemelton3659]

Boo-hoo

[@FoxyJhai]

Did he call Pedro Pascal, Paul Pascal?!

[@FirebirdKnight]

Paul Mescal, according to the subtitles, however, it does sound close to Pascal.

[@rylanrobinson8487]

There is only one Gladiator movie. Staring Russell Crowe

[@wrecktitudemedia6514]

Yes and that movie knew how to blend cgi and practical effects much more better in the og.

[@negativeindustrial]

And we do not concern ourselves with historical accuracy while watching it.

I’m yet to see the second Gladiator 2 Please I need spoilers How good is it?

personally i really enjoyed it…

[@ScottSummers-m5l]

Get ready to be disappointed.

That place really had a wild history that's for sure even when the Romans left too.

[@Emily-dg6rc]

[@DeusRegum]

The female gladiators segment made the video worthwhile.

[@kidtheexplorer5736]

When and why did the Romans ever abandon the Colosseum!?

[@adyninja66]

It didn't! It is us now, they just adapted

[@adyninja66]

The powers behind all the entertainment battles just got a lot bigger.

[@hanson467]

One of the main reasons why the Colosseum was abandoned was because of a fall of Roman Empire and christianity..

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

I would really like to see how those Romans conducted the naval battle in the colosseum

[@Henry-kz4gn]

Lets dissect the minute details and pretend the elephant of inaccuracy in the room isnt there.

[@Commander.Starfleet]

Pope SIXtus the 5th... Fail 🤣 Supposed to be even, but he's actually odd.

[@skyedog24]

They found a large coin in Britain, it's the oldest largest coin ever. Adorning the coin is the Colosseum!

[@LocoJunius]

It’s disappointing if anyone was windering

[@YaePublishing]

Paul Pascal?

[@lenlen1273]

Get well soon❤. Your voice feel you have cold 🥶

[@FailingArtist]

Woah! How were we never taught the colloseum was used for other purposes!

[@NASCARFAN93100]

THIS.... IS.... SPARTAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[@Rick8191-tv8pg]

First they tried to claim that Cleopatra wasn't of white Greece heritage and now a African Roman ,lmao. Jennifer Aniston would make more sense playing Cleo in a future movie over any bs person they place in it. Hollywood is afraid of looking racist making a movie about a African Kingdom, so they gotta steel European history. The same thing with the poc Disney princesses , last time I've checked there wasn't any poc princesses in mid evil Europe. But u can't have cloths and castles for a tribal princess movie.

[@chiquita683]

Whats even weirder are there are tons of African kings and queens they could make stories about but for some reason they prefer to uplift by race changing other cultures as if true minority cultures arent worth talking about. Kids from the 80s remember things like Aesop's fables. Its like black culture is being erased by Liberals

[@hanson467]

Lucius Septimius Severus (145-211) is sometimes referred to as the African Emperor because he was born in Leptis Magna, which is now in Libya:

wasnt there a band in like the 60s or 70s that held a rock concert at the Colosseum?

[@dezmondw7927]

There was already such a hit with the Russell crowe version. Why go skin a cat again? 😢

[@FRAME5RS]

There are no new ideas anymore. Just remakes and sequels.

[@bakerfx4968]

It’s not that there aren’t new ideas. New ideas don’t generate as much profit. If they’re going to spend millions to make a movie they want to make it all back and more so they go with known IPs that will get people in the theatre

I liked the movie but the cgi was terrible

[@marsukarhu9477]

Yeah, there were no cougars aka pumas in ancient Rome.

[@sethmaki1333]

Nah, the stadium's original name is far superior to the waste of breath that the Catholic Church changed it to.

[@c.johnson1691]

Does CE = AD? Why not say it? Too much funny without serious history.

[@elitealice]

Loved the film. Denzel put in arguably his best performance ever and Paul Mescal was great too. Think the ideological struggle between the two was way more interesting than Commodus crashing out because of his daddy issues.

[@yourannoyingness]

The made-up voices are sending me. 😅

[@CartoonChris1]

the irrelevant b-roll is so distracting, detracting from an otherwise entertaining edit.

[@shellyrobinett9971]

Must we take Jesus out of everything? I (and many others) still & will always use AD. Next you will probably refer to Christmas as Xmas, or something completely devoid of Christ. How sad. No wonder the world is the way it is.

[@ScottSummers-m5l]

I always say: "you mean BC/AD? Why go through the mental gymnastics and such, just to look foolish and be corrected by everyone that knows the truth?" They usually have no answer or expose theirderangements immediately. Its so sad, but here we are.

[@hanson467]

⁠we don’t use BC or AD anymore because there are many people who don’t celebrate Jesus’ birth as a central point of the timeline.
