At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

Gladiator 2 sorta rant so spoilers ahead

For a legacy sequel, it's fine. I think it's not 100% necessary but I still had fun watching it. I don't have any major complaints bc I could give less of a flying fuck about the "historical accuracy" of an action blockbuster. Here's a few things I noticed:

The pacing was so off at times. Jumping from scene to scene A LOT. There's probably like an hour worth of deleted scenes too.

I liked the twin emperors the least. No offense to Fred and Joe, but they were almost comically evil. It kept throwing me out of the moment.

Marcinus was the luckiest then unluckiest schemer in Rome. Like he didn't have a fleshed out plan at all, shit just always happened to go his way until it didn't. They say he's this brilliant strategist yet don't really show it.

A lot of rehashing and flashbacks to the original film. I feel like it's trying hard to be both a recap for ppl who didn't watch the first and a new story for original fans.

Anyway, I still enjoyed it. The set design and costuming were really great. (Pedro in the white & gold ✨️) The cast worked well together and it is what it is tbh. I'd like to see the deleted scenes or a director's cut someday.

Also where tf is this statue??? They cut it out yet it looks so amazing. Marketing team should've sold miniature versions 👀

This woman always feeds a squirrel, and that squirrel returned the favour by leaving a cookie for her.

Folks with this whole "you're old once you hit 25" mentality are just buying into a repackaged "you need to have your life figured out by 18 and if you're not successful by 22 you're a failure" load of shit. Like....bruh, life doesn't end at 25. Idk how to tell you that the time limit you're silently imposing on yourself and your peers is largely responsible for your dissatisfaction with your life. Stop living your life like happiness has an expiration date. It doesn't.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

every night owl I know (myself included) is as careful as possible and as quiet as a mouse so not to wake up or disturb people who are asleep while they’re awake but from the moment a morning person wakes up they will make as much noise as possible as if their god given purpose is the be the loudest most inconsiderate person alive
