I saw Gladiator II yesterday. I sent some very unhinged voice notes afterwards (hi, @mescalpascal).

I am saying NOTHING except this…

…Pedro’s character does not seem to actually be called Marcus Acacius. In the Colosseum (attending games for his triumph) he’s introduced as General Justus Acacius, twice. And on the credits it’s just General Acacius. Most people just call him Acacius (which, as I pointed out in a previous post, is appropriate regardless of his other name).

I will say one other thing: I love you, Justus Acacius, you beautiful, heroic man. And I hope the rest of you love him too.

To those of you who are tagging your Gladiator 2 spoilers:

Thank you, you are the real MVP.

Fair warning to everyone else, I’m blocking anyone who doesn’t tag their spoilers. I had TUWOMT spoiled for me a week before the movie released and I do not wish to repeat the experience.

Two new looks at Marcus Acacius from this week

I’m exhausted at this point.

Can't wait for the new Gladiator movie!

honestly incredibly fucked up that you’re going to look at these men and tell me they’re the same person

Joel and Acacius have the same scar on their right cheek, just in case anyone needed to be even more emotionally distraught before this movie even premieres.

Look at this Drama King complaining nonstop about being beaten up by Paul! 🤣🤣
