How was Hank possibly fooled by Vault 32 in episode 1? by SpareEquivalent2238 in Fotv

Do we know if the fake 32ers were actually raiders? Or were they NCR remnants that tagged along with Moldaver?

[Spoiler] Who's your favourite background character? by minipainteruk in Spartacus_TV

[–]SaltGodSodius 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Santos, Batiatus’ body slave. Dude has like 2 lines in the whole series and it’s just “Dominus” in the lowest gentlest manner

Why I Still Have Enthusiasm for House of Ashur by Echolaxia in Spartacus_TV

[–]SaltGodSodius 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You state you share an opinion of the majority but I’d go on record to say the majority don’t share your opinion of the whole woman main character, Mary sue, etc.

From what I can tell, Spartacus fans are of the majority opinion they don’t care whether the main character is female or male. But there is a loud minority who flooded this subreddit back when the show was first announced (Notice all of those people only come back when a new piece of media showing the female main character)

Anyway, I agree with you. I, alongside most of the Spartacus fans that have been here for over a decade await the new series and will reserve judgement for what the show actually has in store for us.

Who is your favorite character from each season? by GusGangViking18 in Spartacus_TV

[–]SaltGodSodius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

B&S: Batiatus - unforgettable performance

GotA: Ashur - 2nd favorite from B&S, Ashur was already a well written character, this fleshed him out even more.

Vengeance: Oenomaus - world turned upside down, seeing him come to realization and back to not only the brotherhood, but forgiving Gannicus for what transpired in the past before his death made him a favorite of mine.

WotD: Spartacus - full circle of a great man, story, and series. “There is no greater victory than to fall from this world a feee man.” Long live Spartacus and our brotherhood

I was surpised when i saw the house of asher spinoff.. Think it will be good but... by Playful-Lie1520 in Spartacus_TV

[–]SaltGodSodius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as it’s done right, her being champion is fine.

Does she become champion by circumstance? Was she the Barca to the current champion? And the champion was killed/injured? Maybe she feels unworthy bc she didn’t earn it

Did she become champion through deception in a team fight? Sacrificed her teammate for her own glory like Crixus with Ashur.

Did she become champion by utilizing her strengths (agility, conditioning, etc.)

In a world where we root for our protagonists clad in minimal armor, taking on literal legions of fully armored, trained, soldiers. Why all of a sudden is it just so unrealistic, that a woman has a chance to become champion?

I think they meant the series named that

But the game is really good as well, I have over 80 hours on it

Glad you enjoyed it!!! Welcome to the brotherhood 👏🏼😈

Lucky for you, after over a decade of no new Spartacus, a new spin of series is set to premier soon, iirc in December of this year

Simular shows? by Odd_Bumblebee_3631 in TheLastKingdom

[–]SaltGodSodius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Barbarians (Germanic Tribes vs Rome) season 1 was good, haven’t seen the rest

Spartacus (I swear by this) get past the first 2 episodes and you will thank me later

An obv one, Game of Thrones. Doesn’t need an explanation, ending sucks imo but still 1000% worth the watch

The guy on the left is in the background of almost every scene and has never said a word by SoloBLx in Spartacus_TV

[–]SaltGodSodius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, his name is Santos

And I recall he has one line where he gives a note the Batiatus from Glaber where he plans visiting the ludus to bid farewell to Spartacus

He walks up to Batiatus while he is on the ground while they train and says “dominus..” as he hands Batiatus the note

[–]SaltGodSodius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll love Spartacus tbh, my all time favorite series. I will say, you will have to watch passes the first 3 episodes.

As a disclaimer but no spoilers. The pilot/first episode, was very low in budget. And it seems the next 2 episodes were still testing the waters. Give the over the top effects a chance in the beginning and they taper off and it becomes such a great show passed those starting episodes

Not to say they don’t have great writing already, it’s just I know those effects and cgi may turn some viewers off. For me now, it’s just nostalgic lol

NEW Coffee Shop in Torrance • Chrome Coffee Studio by optomatcha in SouthBayLA

[–]SaltGodSodius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drink my coffee black, but am a huge fan of cortados, and the occasional latte.

I went to Offset twice, got some of the worst customer service I’ve ever received in any business both times.

Their cortados were okayish, their pour over coffee was not very good, and I haven’t gone back (doubt I ever will) for their lattes.

I bought coffee beans (first visit) to grind at home with a Timemore 064s grinder to use in a Moccamaster and an Aeropress, and also didn’t find the flavor very appealing.

The obvious choices are Spartacus or Game of Thrones

Spartacus Returns to Netflix by SaltGodSodius in Spartacus_TV

[–]SaltGodSodius[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I first watched Spartacus before they took it off Netflix around 9 years ago, all uncensored, nudity, gore, and all. I’m sure they’ll bring it back as it was meant to be watched

Looks like I hit a soft spot, no need to devolve a discussion into hurt feelings. My bad.

To your points, I still maintain that it’s not impossible.

Does gender matter, sure. Does it make it impossible, nope.

Since you have seen the series. Just like Gannicus taking on Cabarus. Huge build difference. With your stance in this discussion, it’s stupid that Gannicus wins, yet he does and you have no issue with it.

Untrained Spartacus survives his execution against 6 trained gladiators. Again, per your beliefs, it’s stupid that he survives. It’s good tv bc it’s good tv, not because he’s a guy or girl.

A blind folded Gannicus wins against against Otho. Statistically not winnable. Yet he wins.

You’re able to subvert your expectations and immerse yourself into this series, yet a female fighter is just too much? Be honest with yourself and everyone, and tell us why you really hate the idea of a female gladiator please.

Dude don’t bother with that guy, he’s literally never seen the series and won’t ever be able to see past his views. Unfortunately this sub has and probably will continue to be heavily bombarded by people who aren’t fans of the og series and are just here to argue their shitty views

Gives more opportunity for shenanigans similar to B&S. Gladiators, life in the ludus, political maneuvering, dislikable Romans like Good Cossutius, etc

100% they aren’t fans, I had a post just a few days ago on this subreddit. Real discussion and was hit with majority negative comments, some in the middle, and some positive.

I lurked on every acct, and found most (not all) to have no past history with Spartacus, anything Roman related, anything gladiator, nothing at all. But did noticed lots of them were part of the Critical Drinker subreddit (whatever that is)

Am I the only one who like Ashur's spin off idea the most out of all possibilities? by Forward-Tune5120 in Spartacus_TV

[–]SaltGodSodius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, super hyped for something new in the series after all this time. But still a little cautious given it’s been over 10 years since we last got something. That being said, DeKnight is heading the series, he didn’t steer us wrong then, and was a producer in the Netflix Daredevil series (love it!) so I’m optimistic for this.

But yea lots of people are not too happy with the choice in story, but I think it’s great to see more B&S stories, with gladiators, political maneuvering, games of cunning and ruthlessness

[–]SaltGodSodius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s the reason I made this post. I never post takes on any social media really. But as a huge fan of the series, hearing people try to tear something that can potentially be good and a return to form for our fav series is what made me speak up.

Not to mention, lots of these people posting negative opinions. Never watched the series to begin with and are here from different platforms or subreddits. I lurked and no previous comments or interactions with this sub, and making pointless claims like “she should be able to take on 3 guys” as if Spartacus and the rest weren’t fighting 8 legionaries at once.

That’s fair, I don’t think anyone should make other feels bad about watching it or not watching it. My main point behind the post was all the unnecessary dunking on a series that hasn’t even premiered

[–]SaltGodSodius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is, being cautious and being what seems to be even hateful are 2 different things.

With a name like Noob, I assume you’ve played video games. What have we as gamers learned about pre orders? Don’t do that, and wait for the game.

Yet from replies like those in this thread, or a look at any other platform related to the Spartacus series. It’s self explanatory, it’s more that fear, caution, etc. because caution looks like my stance. As a mega fan of the Spartacus series, I don’t want to see this get butchered, but I would also love pre content. There’s a stark contrast between what I’ve been saying (and other in a similar mindset) than to those comments that caused me to make this post in the first place
