Everyone keeps talking about Denzel on Gladiator but can we discuss Caracalla and Geta?

!historychads !kino

This was Caracalla (bust and reconstruction)

And this was Geta (bust and reconstruction)

The Severans were from Carthage and likely had a North African look not different from modern day Tunisians, on the reconstruction Geta is too dark skinned but Caracalla is about right. Caracalla did wear a blonde wig while on his campaigns on Germania but it probably looked very uncanny on him.

Meanwhile on Ridley Scott slop

The trailer is hilarious! Rap music, Kang merchant Denzel working to destroy the Roman Empire, two ginger gay twinks as villains. I was half-expecting the Rock showing up with Vin Diesel !nooticers

@Aevann can this get a pin please :capyexcited: Hollywood seems keen on erasing North Africans and replace them with either pasty Bongs or Kangz.

The real question is If three accurately portrayed actors were shown over lyre music, would it have been any better? It would still be a Ridley Slop production with the same Assistant Director, Cinematographer, Executive Producers too Key Grip.

No because the casting is a symptom of Scott's inability to produce a good film like he could in the past.

Pizzashill and ShreddedManlet enter the arena while carp watches over them as Vivaldi's ancestors blast flute and lyre music. The crowd chants for blood. ShreddedManlet is baying for blood but pizza keeps him at bay with his BO while delivering fiery speeches about the downsides of a gladiatorial system.

Slowly the crowd starts listening to him. A lady (poj) draped in white jumps over the fences & femcels to kiss him. She's dragged away to be banished forever to the Britannica islands. The crowd is now chanting PIZZA! PIZZA! (that's how Italy invented Pizza btw). Someone (@kaamrev or @sneedman , hotly debated among historians) picks up a book and hurls it at the fish emperor and all heck breaks loose. Chaos everywhere. The Praetorian guards captures the two saffer troublemakers and slays them on the spot (that's why south africa is called praetoria btw) but this enrages the crowd more. They climb over and drag the king down.

Down with the Emperor! Long live Pizza!!

Pizza still hasn't finished delivering his opening sentence when he's being crowned.

True story. :#truestorybro: The great chronicler @nuclearshill was there to record it all in one of the finest literary works of ancient Rome: The Seasoning of Pizza. (Which became the inspiration for another Italian legend almost a millennia later when Vivaldi composed his Seasons)
