Thing you might not have known, but yes, gladiators actually were made to promote/advertise objects in the arena when coming out. Seriously...they were celebrities in their era and product placement ads (live time) were a real fucking thing.

It's also why, contrary to the "popular take" of the thumbs down killing of gladiators, that was SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER and I Mean SUPER rare.
These were THE PEAK of entertainment back then. They were housed, fed, trained, paid sums, they were given whores, a lot of money went into them.
It'd be like taking your race track sponsored exoticar with legit major brand sponsors/deals and then going, DAMN, I LOST THAT RACE, FUCK IT, TOTAL MY CAR.
What?
Yeah, no. 9/10 gladiators survived their matches.
They also didn't fight all the time. We're taking 3-5 times a year. This overlaps a bit with pro boxer fights in a year 2-4.
This isn't even taking into account the myth of thumbs up/thumbs down. But...yeah.

Some random guy online: Hey, wouldn't it be funny if I was a girl? Wouldn't it be hilarious? Like, as a joke. I would wear a dress and be pretty and people would think I'm beautiful. Haha, doesn't that crack you up?
Trans women: You say stuff like this all the time, maybe you're a woman? You could transition.
Dipshits, every time: HOLY FUCK can you people NOT? HE can pick HIS gender and clearly HE is comfortable as a MAN. He's joking anyway, he said so. Let people do what they want and don't pressure them!!!
Same random person: I'm a girl now. I realized all those jokes I made were covering up my actual feelings.
Trans women: ...
Dipshots: Wow! That really came out of left field. Of COURSE we support you, king. Haha, I mean queen.

Imagine telling somebody in 1995 that one day, Snoop Dog and Flavor Flav would both be beloved American icons highly associated with the Olympic Games. With Snoop acting as an official NBC commentator and carrying the actual Olympic torch in his 50s.
They would look at you like you were absolutely insane. What an incredible world we live in

ohhh antony is carrying the show on his back 😭 https://x.com/screenrant/status/1805265919741989352?s=46
i don't want to discredit the work that writers do, especially in laying the groundwork for a character like homelander and crafting a compelling arc for him with every new season. and i'm sure they were very involved in the making of ep 4 as well, despite kripke generously giving credit where it's due here. however...

it is nice to know that antony starr has not only elevated the character with a superb performance but also made some pretty valuable contributions to the script :) obviously i'm biased but i think he is the standout of every episode. i'm throwing emmys at him

thinking about bisexual erasure and how being bi is having to constantly remind people bisexuality exists, even to other queer people. i have a friend at work who is gay and knows i'm bi and sometimes a guy will come in and will talk about his wife when the guy leaves my friend is like "mhm, sure, wife." and i'm always like well... he could be fruity AND have a wife and it's gen like... he forgets that's a thing until i mention it? the other day a guy came in and said he used to date someone and used they/them pronouns and THEN talked abt his wife and my friend was like "aw he went straight." and i'm just like HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN? and it's shit like this from within our own community that makes bisexuals the silent majority. because it's exhausting and i just need people to remember we exist without having to remind them. i want people to see bisexuality as an option, not an after thought.

Yo all y'all new twitter and reddit refugees.
if an account has the word 'official' in it this does NOT mean it's really official. You can call yourself anything on here. There is no verification.
So like, remember to take things they say with as much salt as you can manage.

Do you think there were any celebrities that got in the voice recording booth when they were doing their Guess Who episodes and read the script like 'I would not fucking say that'
