Happy Hump Day!

New episode next week.

In the meantime, check out my chat with Candi about the #Spartacus pilot.

We talk Crixus, Ilithyia’s messiness, and the brilliance of Andy Whitfield.

Jupiter’s c**k a sequel to Spartacus?!

I remember when the original show ended there was talk of a spinoff/sequel about Caesar and the triumvirate that never happened. I wonder what this story will be about, either way it’ll be brilliant.

Hollywood Epics 3 - Spartacus

Hollywood Epics 3 – Spartacus

As famous as Stanley Kubrick is, before seeing Spartacus, The Shining and Full Metal Jacket were the only movies of his I’ve actually watched in full. He was a visionary in the film industry, he often pushed boundaries, and he wasn’t afraid of controversy. He was also known to be a demanding perfectionist at times, and would often assume control over as much of the filmmaking process as he could.…

Why do you like Skybound? From the little I’ve seen on tumblr, it looks like it’s made Starscream into a heartless, ruthless villain with no emotions and that doesn’t sound like something a Starscream fan would enjoy.

The thing about it is that, I like it because it is Starscream. Starscream is ruthless, he is heartless and he is a villain. Especially to humans. The only thing I don’t really like about Skybound is that, for two seconds, I was terrified he was killed off early but people are saying he might be alive?

I think the interesting thing about Starscream, depending on the iteration or what version of the character you absorb, is that he can be multifaceted. I think that the two Starscream’s we have now are Earthspark and Skybound Starscream. It’s fair to say that Earthspark Starscream is handled with a lot of nuance and respect for what happened to him, which is what I absolutely love and adore. But Starscream is still, at his core, before any form or redemption can ever take place, and awful person. Even Earthspark Starscream was not a good person until the episode dropped.

Skybound Starscream to me at least, isn’t that shocking because that shows us one of the many facets of Starscream he can be. I think that, given the various iterations we’ve had of him, and the franchises lack of actually committing to a type of Starscream, it is easy to mix those versions + fandom interpretation (which imo , does tend to water him down and overly pacify him for many reasons), and in a way, think they should be canon.

But in reality, despite the iterations, Starscream is not supposed to be viewed as a good person. At least, not to begin with. Starscream has always been an extremely violent, ruthless, manipulative and abusive person. Even in Earthspark, or TFP, or Cyberverse, etc. He has always resorted to violence to get what he wants. He mistreats those around him, and those who try to help him whether it be his Trine, Knockout, etc. That’s why I don’t think that Skybound is inaccurate because that’s just who he is. I think as Starscream fans, it’s logical to want a version of Starscream that is nuance and more complex because we have gotten that in the past, even among the violence. And I mean, other characters are allowed to have that.

But I’m also okay accepting that Skybound isn’t that version, and that Skybound is also very canon, and often times forgotten version of Starscream that I think the fanbase sometimes needs to be reminded of. I’ve spoken about this before, but while I am heavily empathetic toward Starscream, especially in like TFP and Earthspark (and IDW), he is still an awful person, and he actually has to change to get sympathy points. And what Skybound is doing is in a way, reminding us of that or leaning into that side of Starscream that is either overlooked by the fandom, or a side we haven’t seen in years.

I am literally all for crazed, violent characters like Starscream, and I do like it. Because I also think that, with all the discourse surrounding his character, it is important to recognize that he isn’t this helpless person who has done no wrong. He is still, at his core until he changes, a violent person. And it is satisfying seeing him be violent but also seeing him be held accountable for it.

Skybound Starscream, like all depictions of him, is realistic. I just don’t think we get the nuance or the sympathetic nature of him, which again is okay. That’s not to say that in the future, we don’t see it. Because I believe we will.  

I am very curious to see how his relationship with Megatron is going to be, and in my mind I hope they have a good/better relationship but I hope they're good to each other, or at least can work together. I really don't want any of them to be redeemed I just want them to be terrible actually and just feed off of that.

#if i say that starscream is lucretia to megatron's batiatus and i need to see them be THAT bad in this comic #i actually dont want starscream to be a good guy at all #but in that i don't want megatron to be good either T-T #i want them both to be really evil #starscream #transformers skybound #tf skybound #energon universe

Period dramas dresses tournament: Orange dresses Round 1- Group D: Lucretia, Spartacus (gifset) vs Lucilla, Gladiator (gifset)

Propaganda for Lucilla's dress (written by a submitter):

This dress is actually modeled off of a Roman wedding dress, though it is not used as such in the film. The orange bridal veil is called a “flammeum,” and the color is supposed to suggest fire, and the goddess of marital fidelity. There’s many ways to interpret that, some brides opted for a more straightforward yellow. I loved how the metallic sheen of the fabrics here gave that all important veil extra dimension.

they’re making a Spartacus sequel and it’s a what if Ashur (who, let us be reminded, was killed in an incredibly cathartic way by Naevia, a woman he raped and helped indirectly push into sex slavery ) lived AU

#spartacus #im so disappointed tbh #and like the original show had some amazing villains who were scum of the earth but like #COULD run a show #gods of the arena was about two of the most heinous people i’ve seen on tv #it was great #and i will add i think it being a prequel was key #it was about their evolution into wholehearted evil #and the framing as a ‘batiatus reliving his life before he dies’ was so good #returning to ASHUR in a sequel series like a decade later….. clownery
