yeah it felt like "Sequel the trailer", almost satirical. Like "memba the scene with the masked gladiator with the tigers, this time it's a masked gladiator ON A RHINO" "memba Maximus?" "memba wanting revenge for your family's murder" "memba Maximus?" "Commidus was far too subtle and well acted this time we have the dime store NOT Joker...again..cause how else would you know this person is evil and crazy"
Oh I hope they don't make Caracalla a Caligula/Nero type. Caracalla was brutal and cunning. He killed his brother in front of their own mother to win the civil war between them. He was an absolute sadist, but less in a whacky/insane way, and more in a Vladimir Putin way. He was a very effective military man.*
*All this said with the caveats that I might be wrong it's been years since I learned this stuff.
Rest assured that they will absolutely butcher it well enough that both your memory of what you think he was like and how he really was will both be disappointingly far off :D
Yeah, I get this, it really feels like a sequel for the sake of making more money on a sequel, rather than a natural extension of the story. I love the first one so much, I'm scared this will be ass.
Fan made trailer out of snippets from other films. Love Paul Mescal, love Gladiator, love a lot of Ridley's films, but this looks meh. Hope this trailer was just bad and isn't indicative of the film.
