Maybe I’m weird, but Apollo as Lester reminds me of a hairless cat in a blue jumper. A hairless cat that hates the blue jumper and walks around stiffly, with those dull, angry cat eyes.
I feel like post-TOA!Apollo is the kind of parent that would defend his children even when he doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. He sees his children being dissed and he immediately jumps to the defend. That’s like. A reflex or st.
I just can't hate Commodus as much as I hate Nero and Caligula. Not because Commodus is laughable and dumb, or because he's not as cruel (oh, he's just as cruel), but because Apollo knew him so personally. They have such an interesting dynamic together, what with Apollo having betrayed and killed him, and I just have to love it.
Nero and Caligula are Roman to the core. But Commodus is rash, loves the attention, the entertainment. He reminds me of the Greek gods and their ridiculous mangled and interwoven history. He's chaotic and bloodthirsty, but he appreciates when someone surprises him because he delights in a show. He'll destroy you right after, but he truly relishes doing it.
