why is Hollywood out of ideas recently? is it because everything has to be pozzed and they can't come with something creative and original other than "the thing everyone loved in the past but black"
He was a cool character, but he was a Nubian slave. I think if they wanted to have Numidian cavalry or Kushite archers as auxiliary troops or mercenaries, it'd be fine, but not as regular legionaries. Kush was not an actual province.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE BLACK GUYS IN ANCIENT ROME
Mauretania WAS a province at this time. This is from Historia Augusta.
>"After inspecting the wall near the rampart in Britain… just as he [Severus] was wondering what omen would present itself, an Ethiopian from a military unit, who was famous among buffoons and always a notable joker, met him with a garland of cypress. And when Severus in a rage ordered that the man be removed from his sight, troubled as he was by the man's ominous colour and the ominous nature of the garland, [the Ethiopian] by way of jest cried, it is said, “You have been all things, you have conquered all things, now, O conqueror, be a god.”
the Historia Augusta isn't exactly a creditable source. it's full of inaccuracies. Academics usually only reference it with caution when other sources have corroborated its claims.
Cassius Dio and archeological evidence say Severus' father Geta was of Italian and Punic origin from Lepidus Magna and his mother was of the gens Fulvia, a prominent family since the republic era. there is no way on earth Severus was sub Saharan African, like zero percent chance.

Man, that's a jest? I guess you had to be there
>Gladiator 2 but it's an Isekai where some business guy gets transferred into the old movie that he loved and knows the shit that is gonna happen and saves everyone
>During this time, Nick Cave was commissioned to write a new draft of the script. It was later revealed to be written under the working title of "Christ Killer". Cave described the plot as a "deities vs. deity vs. humanity" story. The premise involved Maximus in purgatory, who is resurrected as an immortal eternal warrior for the Roman gods. In the draft, Maximus is sent to Earth and tasked with stopping the momentum of Christianity by killing Jesus Christ and His disciples, as their movement was gradually siphoning off the power and vitality of the ancient Pagan gods. During his tasked mission, Maximus is tricked into murdering his own son. Cursed to live forever, Cave's script included Maximus fighting amongst the Crusades, WWII, and the Vietnam War; with the ending revealing that in the modern-day time period, the character now works at The Pentagon. The script was ultimately rejected and scrapped.[6][7][8][9]

there were already a black guy in the first gladiator
Digimon is an honorary white so he doesn’t count.
Well this one's got Denzel and you can put him in the same category
he wasn't a soldier. He clearly came off as a foreigner.
Blame zoomers for being creatively braindead thanks to internet porn.
Boomers made all the best kino. Not even they can deny that.
its greedy boomer suits that refuse to greenlight anything thats not an established property
>recently
>recently?
It's been like this for at least 40 years.

>Ethiopian
*Aethiopian*
Do you even know what that word means in that context?
black headed people
"Burnt face" in Greek. It meant people who were really dark, usually black Africans. But the land of Aethiopia was a semi-mythical place at that time.

I never fricking said he was? He sees an Aethiopian at Hadrian's Wall and thinks his dark skin is a bad omen.

They better not cast achievement stealing whites
Romans were mediterenean
all of these are from coffins found in Alexandria. It would be insane to think people from Egypt/Syria and Britain looked the same
Romans did not have an shared identity until 10th/11th century
