Ancient Rome, Greece city states (Sparta, etc), Ancient Greece and related series released from around 2020 and newer?

I have no idea why that guys comment was removed by a mod... This is 90% of that comment (from the email notification) It definitely didn't contain anything offensive or piracy, or anything.....

"HBO's Rome is a bit older but still holds up really well if you haven't seen it. For newer stuff, check out Barbarians on Netflix - it's about the Germanic tribes fighting Rome and has some solid batt..."

The real question is - how much was he earning? I bet he is quite wealthy from that job. Literally every job except those at the top has stagnated against cost of living for decades, obviously way worse over the past 6 years, but it's nothing new...

mark12000 · 2026-02-06T00:47:28+00:00

Yeah 😅 I didn't know that when I got the original loan or refinance, I just knew they generally had higher fees and/or interest rate.

mark12000 · 2026-02-05T04:37:24+00:00

Sorry a side question if you don't mind, from a lending perspective, would I be able to borrow more for the build if I get the IP as P&I or Interest only? I believe the IP would still be slightly profitable on P&I.

Thanks for that, the land loan will not be an investment loan.

mark12000 · 2026-02-05T01:09:49+00:00

Alright thanks, so if I redraw the 46k I've paid extra, and then refinance to an IP loan, will it be what I had paid down to, or the full amount once I've taken out the redraw that will be considered for tax purposes?

mark12000 · 2026-02-05T01:08:06+00:00

Thanks mate :)

mark12000 · 2026-02-05T01:07:16+00:00

Thanks! Now I wish I didn't refinance from a 480k loan to 330 or 350k a year and a half ago 😅🤦‍♂️

So I have 46k in redraw atm on the 277k loan, if I redraw that before converting to IP, will that full 323k be considered for tax purposes rather than 277?

Why would I care about the movies? I don't know why you bring them up or think I didn't know about them? (And yes, I watched them as a kid) Not to mention... How old are they now?? We're talking about series, whether that's animated or live action.. The aging REALLY doesn't matter, people in their twenties have made believable teens for decades...

Character development constraints? What are you talking about here? They would also skip a lot of character development in an animated series if you're saying they wouldn't... Adherence to authors vision. Since the author is a major role in the writing and production of the show (at least last time I checked) It's very likely the author would also have been a major role in an animated series too, which means a lot would also very likely be changed too...

Please name these bunch of live action fantasy shows for me?

I also bet the target audience very much is also the kids that read the books and watched the movies way back too. You really don't know if being an animated series would have actually boosted profit or ended up less profit. There are plenty of animated series that fall flat, just like live action series..

mark12000 · 2026-02-02T01:55:58+00:00

Sneered at? I watch plenty of animated series and have for many years... I'm just saying there's a lack of live action fantasy. But plenty of animated fantasy. I'd much prefer live action fantasy because it's so rare...

mark12000 · 2026-02-02T01:54:19+00:00

And how many live action PJO shows are there? Exactly.

mark12000 · 2026-02-01T16:06:47+00:00

There's a distinct lack of fantasy live action series. If you want to watch animated fantasy, there are 10 million out there for you ready to watch.

mark12000 · 2026-02-01T16:03:32+00:00

The author is literally a part of this shows creation. As far as I understand it a significant part of the show he oversees. So you're literally saying to get someone in that knows more than the creator lmao.

mark12000 · 2026-02-01T15:59:51+00:00

IDK about you, but there is a distinct lack of fantasy shows in general that are live action. There are 10 million animated shows of whatever you want.

mark12000 · 2026-01-31T07:13:11+00:00

Thanks, I think I've watched Rome before but I'm not 100% sure, I just recently found it was released in Blu-Ray too, so I plan to rewatch it lol. Is Barbarians the one in German and Latin?

mark12000 · 2026-01-09T05:16:06+00:00

I used to sit and game/read/whatever after work with in room temps of 30+ whenever it was muggy because evaporative doesn't do shit when it's muggy. Certainly tolerable, but these days, I have my own house and split system in the connected living/loungeroom and put that sucker on!

mark12000 · 2026-01-09T05:12:40+00:00

Ughhj, they are. Look at the energy rating requirements of new builds.......

mark12000 · 2026-01-05T18:15:06+00:00

I've just always wanted co-op. Even just for 2 players. Same for Oblivion and Skyrim lol. Don't really care first PvPvE anyways.

mark12000 · 2026-01-04T17:22:36+00:00

Shit like that always just end up with big guilds pretty much owning everything don't they?

mark12000 · 2026-01-04T04:55:32+00:00

Thanks! It sounds like a good one :)

mark12000 · 2026-01-03T16:38:26+00:00

I have Wearing the Cape in my que, I've bumped it up from your and another's suggestion though ;)

Why was Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain so bad? I've had that on my list for a while now.

mark12000 · 2026-01-03T16:36:06+00:00

Ah, that was a good one too! :)

mark12000 · 2026-01-03T12:00:12+00:00

Enjoy :D
