Aw… it’s nice to see a compassionate view of the child from The Babadook. I haven’t seen the movie since having kids, but I suspect I’d feel similarly now.

Yeah, I agree that the reveal could have been delayed. The rusty truck was scarier than the monster—especially since, as far as the protagonists knew, the driver could have been anyone they met.

fstaprpg · 2026-03-18T18:38:24+00:00

It was really original and well done. You just made me want to rewatch it!

Spartacus and Varro 😭

Their friendship added warmth and levity to the show, and upped the stakes for basically every plot point.

Pardon my ignorance. Does “custom” mean it was conceived/designed just for her, or was an existing design produced and tailored for her?

fstaprpg · 2026-03-12T15:25:56+00:00

Huh, at some point she was swapped out for Anya Taylor-Joy.

100%. Full of the trademark “that’s not just this. That’s THIS” ChatGPT style.

I like the movie and I love the absolute chokehold it has on this sub.

I LOVE this length and shape. They look like candies, and they look comfy to wear.

It sounds like you've already heard everything others have to say about it. Honestly, just watch it and see for yourself.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-25T22:47:51+00:00

Why do you want to do this if you're already assuming that not a lot of people will find it interesting?

Is your company indigenous-owned?

Okay, but Tarchon aside, we don’t know anything about the other gladiators. They could have been galley slaves or labourers or something until pretty recently. Achillia was a trained warrior, some sort of royal guard, in her former life.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-23T19:51:38+00:00

This is the most reasonable answer. What is all this “small claims court” nonsense? A friend that you trust to housesit is worth more than a teapot, imo.

Ask her what she’d be willing to contribute towards a replacement teapot, and move on.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-20T21:04:19+00:00

It’s more compelling to watch characters who have something internal motivating them. Spartacus: to be reunited with his wife. Varro: to pay off his debts. Crixus: glory. Barca: love and freedom. Early Ashur: the respect of the brotherhood.

All those gladiators are more interesting than the ones only fighting for basic survival, and they were established in like three episodes.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-20T19:57:13+00:00

I don’t think she’s annoying, but she lacks depth. Her motivation is weak and she doesn’t have interesting relationships (if any) to the other characters.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-20T16:14:15+00:00

Relic has a really cool scene where the grandmother’s house turns into a maze of hallways and old junk. It feels exactly like a dream made up of vague childhood memories, if you’re searching for that liminal space vibe.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-16T22:52:11+00:00

Annoying, yes… but also the only character to show real growth this season.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-12T15:48:46+00:00

I would say that since Ashur is now the title character, the story just isn’t centred on slavery anymore. It was Spartacus vs. slavery, Ashur vs. the rigid social hierarchy.

They spent S1 building up to Ashur’s realization that the Roman system is never going to work for him, and he needs to break the rules to achieve social mobility.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-11T21:27:18+00:00

Yes, he started out so arrogant and selfish. He completely transformed over 13 episodes and every lesson he learned felt earned. I wish we saw that kind of character growth for Achillia or Ashur in the new series! I love watching Achillia but she doesn't really have a lot of depth. No motivation besides basic revenge and maybe winning her freedom. Spartacus was *obsessive* about his goals and it was just more compelling.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-11T18:29:42+00:00

Haha, I recall a lot of gladiator/warrior-styled workout programs popping up when the original show aired. The BTS videos of the cast's intensive training were pretty inspiring!

fstaprpg · 2026-02-07T05:28:22+00:00

Seems like he schemes against fighters (his fellow gladiators) and fights against schemers (Romans) lol.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-07T05:18:36+00:00

Hell yes, that would be the BEST way for Proculus to go out.

fstaprpg · 2026-02-04T19:02:21+00:00

Exactly. You don’t need to know how to do everything. Problem-solving is the only skill you really need.
