[TV] Spartacus Vengeance - Page 36

Mira - She was my favorite character this season T_T. I was soooo sad when she took that ax to the tit (((((((. She is pretty much my ideal type of woman, and Spartacus couldn't even appreciate her fully due to rage... not much else to say here except D: I was all choked up when she died. Mira realized her and Sparty weren't going to work out, and she got her closure. Watching her interviews I actually really like her as a person too. Gonna check out some of her other shows. 6/5 for Mira!
Now the German girl is the new hot chick... I think it's funny how they portray her so much differently in the final episode after Mira's passing.. much more somber (surely due to the situation), whereas before she was all barbaric.

Naevia - lots of people complaining about the new actor. Sure, I thought the old Naevia was hotter and played the "loving helpless woman" better, but could you really see that actor playing the new role as well as the new girl did? She had a REALLY tough role in this season, starting as a frail and depressed spirit who had her brains mixed up by rape, torture, and slavery, who then had to literally and mentally battle to regain her spirit. Sure, someone could have done a better job than her, but not the old Naevia IMO.
Also, lots of people seem upset that she claimed Ashur's life... but I can't think of any other way. If I think back on all the nasty things Ashur has done throughout the 3 seasons, I actually completely see where he's coming from, and a lot of people deserved the will of Ashur being pushed on them (hi Lucretia), BUT Naevia was not one of them. On the flip side of that coin, Crixus treated Ashur like shit and Ashur owed Crixus that payment (which surely would be repaid in kind). Thus, nobody had greater claim on his life than she did, and I completely agree with the writers choice to have them fight, and was shedding tears of joy as she hacked his fucking head off. Naevia got her vengeance.
This is also cool because it was like Naevia's "right-of-passage" as a warrior, so next season I'm sure she'll be one of the bad-asses

Ashur - he had it coming! Yea, he was the best protagonist probably EVER, but once Lucretia found Seppius' bracelet (which fell out of his treasure chest as he began to forcefully fuck her) it was game over for him. Even though Seppia's attempt on his life failed, it was inevitable that Ashur taking the bracelet would be revealed to Glabber, and thus cementing his death. I was actually starting to root for Ashur the last couple episodes in hopes that he would take over the ludus and train some badasses, BUT he had to die eventually. I also liked the fact that he was inducing torture on Lucretia, when she had been dishing it out all along up until now she finally gets to know what it feels like. One of the best parts of Ashur being on the opposing team is that he stood as brothers with Spartacus n crew and was able to provide insight into their plans where the romans failed (uncovering their plans to get Naevia from the mines, then seeing the mark of a slave as they were almost tricked into leaving). The Starz crew will be hard pressed to find some villains next season to replace him AND Glabber. 5/5 for Ashur

Glabber - Such awesome character progression with him this season! In Blood and Sands he just kind of seems like a pawn trying to make his way up the political ranks. The beginning of Vengeance he looked like a push-over and a pussy, but then reveals his inner beastly monster. That fuckin wicked smile and look of destruction in his eyes is so goddamn captivating and creepy at the same time. He did a fucking outstanding job! 5/5. Oh God in the final episode when his troops meet face to face with Sparty/Crixus/Gannicus/Agron, and Glabber screams "KILL THEM!!!" I got such chills

Crixus - A lot of people are also upset with Crixus being a pussy this season. Let me remind you that he used to fight for glory in the arena, now he fights for love. Anyone who has a problem with his character change probably hasn't ever felt love ripped from your arms, then to think it is hopeless, and then to gain her back again. Also, people forget that in Blood and Sands, Crixus was a fucking antagonist to Spartacus, arguably the MAIN ONE (maybe Batiatus). A lot of things change... why wouldn't their character? I think he did a fantastic job as an actor

Spartacus - It's weird... I don't like him, but I don't dislike him. He played his role, but.... Goddamnit RIP Andy. On the flip side, Andy's role as Sparty was always more reclusive, whereas the new one is a leader demanding respect. I have a feeling Andy would have been so much more badass as leader of a rebel army, but in a much different way and feel than the new main actor did. *sigh*

Oenomaus - What a badass!
In the beginning of Veangence, goes to the pits to keep fighting until he dies. Ashur saves him right before death.
Then, he is put in prison, tortured, and starved
Then, he must fight against Gannacus in the arena, but the arena falls on him giving him more serious wounds.
He has some time to heal from that ordeal, but not fully, and then he gets stabbed the the eye by the Egyptian
FINALLY after all that he falls in battle.

Gannacus - One of the cool things about Oenomaus and Gannacus is that they both EARNED THEIR FREEDOM (by Roman law). They could both be free men right now, but chose not to. Gannacus always laughing, smiling, drinking booze, fucking bitches, and single-handedly slaying big packs of Roman soldiers, what's not to love?

Lucretia - Lucy Lawless... Just WOW

Illithya - I thought it interesting she was kept around... peering into the next season and noticing Markus Crassus will be involved is interesting since Illithya killed his cousin. I wonder if she still has the hand that Batiatus gave to Glaber as a gift? lol

Out of the gladiators, there's only Spartacus, Crixus, Gannacus, Agron, and the guy with the ax now, right?

ok I'm done typing. Can't wait for season 3

Hmmm, a lot of people died. Are they going to introduce a bunch of new characters as villains?
