Is it true that BBC pulled its funding because Rome's Jewish showrunners wanted to set the third season in Jerusalem and portray Jesus a lunatic? I'm glad that the show got cancelled if it's true
Rome's cancellation
Bruno Heller wanted the 5th season to take place in Judea, not third. What he had planned for seasons 2-4 instead got crammed into season 2 and then they canned it
The Jewish arc starts setting up in like the last 2 or 3 episodes, there was supposed to be a whole bunch of Jewish anarchists and Jesus being like an Osama Bin Laden type character
No, it was because their multi-multi-million dollar sets all burned to a crisp.
i dropped this show in episode 4.
most of the characters were pretty good but somehow the scope of the story felt too 'small'.
like the empire consisted of a family at best.
No, they pulled it because they didn’t have the budget.
t. brainlet
Sounds like it could've either been kino or off-putting by all the jewishness
The BBC needed the money to put more interracial couples on TV
Ok.
Caesar and his era was years and years before Jesus was though. That would be a huge timeskip
Old series and we now have several daily threads about its cancellation all of a sudden.
Aside from accelerating season 2 the story was finished. Later seasons would've been about Augustus and his unopposed rule and nothing to look forward to aside from Teutoborg Forest.
We’ve always had Rome threads
the bbc pulled out because they didnt want to fund it with all of their TV LOISENSE money, they didnt think the juice was worth the squeeze. Stop this garbage conspiracy theory shit.
they had planned nearly 5+ seasons and the jewish shit was right at the end. Instead they had to condense it down in season 2 because it was cancelled between seasons due to the BBC pulling out and HBO didnt want to front the entire budget because at the time HBO wasnt comfortable with massive budgets like ROME.
>whole episode about crucifying and torturing jews
they wanted to protray jesus as a terrorist nut and the jewish elders as innocent. it was nothing to do with money or the bbc
Per the actors it was canned for budgetary reasons and to make way for GoT
By the end of the show it was already going into Augustus' reign. They could've easily transitioned into when he was older and skip a few decades since he reigned for 40+ years. They're not going to spend an entire season looking at the minute details of his rule.
this is not correct, stop spouting shit, the actors themselves realized this wasnt true. GoT wasn't even on for consideration when rome was cancelled.
Fucking newfags ruining everything. I hate you
I realized I messed up the last "threads" in that. Redid it.
The show being canceled for got is something Rome fans came up with years later just to piss on got some more.
I hate you you bitch if you spend here most of your free time and didn't notice several threads a day about the cancellation of Rome after long period of silence.
And The Terror threads but it's probably a mix of Chernobyl and that recent youtube video.
Reminder that the first two seasons of GOT were also GOAT...
This. As far as i'm aware Game of Plebs was in very early development back in '05. I think they were just starting to pitch the idea to network execs. According to the production timeline on wiki, it wasn't optioned by HBO until 2007. Even then they probably weren't banking on it by any means.
>Later seasons would've been about Augustus and his unopposed rule and nothing to look forward to aside from Teutoborg Forest.
Yeah, because Augustus' succession, or lack thereof, didn't make for compelling television with I, Claudius at all.
Just fuck off already and gargle draino you newfag redditor piece of shit.
B&R
even at its best rome wasn't that great, its a silly hercules tier buddy adventure show mixed in with some bad scheming family political crap, and it speeds through everything about caesar, pompey, and the end of republic. i dont know why everyone has to overrate it so much...

They needed money for their other projects and Rome wasn't that popular during its airtime so they canned it.
No it's just an internet rumor. Timewise it wouldn't make any sense
Wrong

>we will never get to see this kino
FUCK
>all of a sudden
Lurk moar newfriend. This is embarrassing.
Yes even the third one. It's easy to forget because of what the show turned into but at the start it was some good shit.
PULL THE PLUG
>showrunners wanted to set the third season in Jerusalem and portray Jesus a lunatic
Would've been unironic kino.
They couldn't have expected the show to become so popular after it was cancelled. In the end both BBC and HBO made a shit ton of money of the DVD box sets sales. I wonder if the BBC regrets it.
its literal lies, they said that season FIVE would focus on judea and even then thats all they said.
I, Claudius was a great book. Doesn't translate well at all to television.
Is this show good? I'm debating getting the whole series. Only ever saw one episode
its literally 2 seasons, get it, regardless of any issues with season 2, its still vastly superior to 98% of all television ever. dont watch the netfix ones though, they are missing one or two episodes, download a torrent.
>tfw you'll never get formation kino like this again
they realized it had gotten more popular after the dvd sales, but i think i read they had already broken down the sets.
>nothing to look forward to aside from Teutoborg Forest.
What is it with newfags and Roman history and the Teutoberg forest? Fucking christ you're not the only one. Go back to watching 300
only cringey neckbeards find rome interesting or inspiring. It was a decadent filthy evil empire that caused the current situation of europe by committing genocide against the native european peoples and forcing christianity upon them
>It was a decadent filthy evil empire that caused the current situation of europe
Lol no, germanic tribes migration caused current situation
Are all of you actually retarded? Even the creators said it was because of game of thrones. HBO didn't want to fund them both
Forget 300. I want an Iliad miniseries. Troy was good but it didn't follow the Iliad close enough.
Make it high budget and give me kino
>I want an Iliad miniseries
for what? more degradation of art? not necessary you consumerist fuck. go back to red dit and don't post here again
you realize that Europe developed from a paganistic tribal society into an organised, lawful and infrastructure filled society BECAUSE of rome right? are you really this illiterate?
Most kino scene ever filmed?
it would've been a service to the world if rome and every single individual of note working for it were all completely destroyed as early on as possible, perhaps all the damage rome caused the world and specifically europe could've been avoided.
also you're a fucking retard who didn't even understand my post, i was talking about the CURRENT situation in Europe, which is indirectly due to christianity
a paganistic tribal society would've stood a chance against the onslaught of foreign desert religions if it weren't for the traitors of europe; the romans, adopting christianity and then committing genocide against the rest of europe in order to spread christianity
WORDS FALL FROM MOUTH AS SHIT FROM ASS
This newfag wouldn't know. No one to oppose him, characters with finished stories or dead but he wants the show to be like those first 4 episodes of I Claudius dammit. See if it makes it to Caligula. No, better fast forward to interesting bits make it The Best of Rome.
dude it was the christian fatih that united europe against the desert religions lol unorganised moronic pagens wouldnt stand a chance. read a fucking book, roman society was transformative for all of europe.
>The Big Black Cock needed the money to put more interracial couples on TV
Makes sense
You might argue current europe is due to christianity, but that goes for shit like the industrial revolution too. Just so happens that its strengths leaves it vulnerable to exploitation, particularly the twisting of the notion of born equal in the spiritual sense under god into born equal in the earthly sense that demands inequal outcomes be interpreted as a result of evil. Remove that dogma alone and all these problems disappear immediately.
>go back to red dit
Because I want the Iliad done right? You probably thought ssoattacks was great didn't you
I did the exact same thing for the same reason. It isn't a bad show, but how did they get it so wrong?
you have absolutely no fucking clue what you're talking about, you absolutely disgusting fucking retard. christianity caused the deaths of hundreds of millions of innocent europeans due to all the wars that raged across europe for over a thousand years due to christianity, do you have any clue what the 30 years war was for example?
shut the fuck up about things you know absolutely nothing about
also, christianity never "united" Europe, it is a FOREIGN, JEWISH religion that has NO place in EUROPE
t.germanic
Those are the constraints of a drama tv series, I guess. Sounds like what you want is a documentary.
Civilization without national socialism is what led us here, and christianity is not helping, it's accelerating the degeneration of our race.
Actually Jesus was going to be a Woody Allen-style neurotic Jew.
do you get joy out of this low-effort falseflagging? this shit was dull 20 years ago. put some backbone into it.
lmao youre such a beta cuckold
MUH PAGEN MUH EUROPE REEEE
>it is a FOREIGN, JEWISH religion that has NO place in EUROPE
t. Butt hurt pagan larper still mad that boniface cut down the thunder cunt's tree
Jesus was a lunatic though.
Somehow it got way out of hand and now you have people worshiping him.
Pretty epic prank really.
>WAAAAH the 30 years war didn't happen because i say sooooo!!! WAAAAAAH
>WAAAAAH all the interreligious christian wars didn't happen because i say sooo!! WAAAAAAH
>WAAAAAH christians today aren't complete and utter cuckolds whom all advocate for the massmigration of nonwhites into europe because i say so WAAAAAH
Fuck off retard
Latinization was a necessary evil for the development of Europe. If you still think that Rome's conquest was a bad thing then look at fucking Basque.
>regions without christianity had zero wars
the funny thing is that everyone can paint a perfect image of how both of you look like out of those two posts. both are pear-shaped brown eyed brown haired 56% american mongrels who love to dress their Mordhau characters as MUH EPIC CRUSADERS with white robes and red crosses.
you are both pathethic fucking retards who have absolutely no clue about anything that has to do with the real world
any LARPing is done by jew-worshipping retards such as yourselves
Are you done LARP:ing?
Can you tell me of a single (or any number) of religious wars in Europe that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of people pre-christianity?
THIRTEEN
>brown eyed brown haired 56% american mongrels
Kek I have blonde hair, grey eyes, and am like 80% British. Your cope is sad pagan bro
What in gods name are you talking about. Season 1 was extremely consistent and the scope was focused but fair.
>blonde hair
>british
No, you're a fucking euro. True Britons have brown hair and brown eyes and beady anglo eyes.
Actually jews wanted portrait Jesus as bad as they could.
>can you name wars in europe pre-christianity that literally killed more people than lived on the continent
Oh I am mainly British user. There's some Scandinavian and French in there too. But most of its British.
Face it, whites are Christian
>hundreds of millions
>believing these meme numbers
t. Pagan
Why can no one get this right again
>LARPing with a colon
You're retarded.
nah, the anti-Christian French revolution is the cause of Europe's current situation
I doubt that, the BBC would more likely have doubled the funding and would have found some bishop in the church of england to voice support as well.
GAIUS

CAESAR
>mfw we didn't get Augustus reeeing at his commander about legions
>i was talking about the CURRENT situation in Europe, which is indirectly due to christianity
fucking no, literally Germany and Scandinavia (aka womb or g*rmanoids) responsible for current situation in Europe.
Spaniards were Christians but it didn't stop them from kicking arabs out, greeks were Christians it didn't stop them from holding arabs and turks untill IV crusade
I think you mean Greece there user.

Currently on episode 3, what am I in lads? Is the whole series about the Roman civil war or does season 2 follow a different arc?
Season 2 is all about second Triumvirate and it's end

hmm i think yes
Just watch I, Claudius. Chronologically it carries on just a few years after Rome Season 2.
And they canceled soon after. Are you retarded?
A whole thread and nobody is pointing out that BBC didnt fucking make Rome you sexless fucking pol retards
BBC co-produced it if i'm not mistaken.
Correct. Italy made Rome, though they didn't build it in a day.
Absolutely based retard
They cancelled the greatest TV show ever made to fund Game of Shit.
>Marco Polo moves into Judea as mongols plan to attack it
>gets cancelled
Coincidence?
but they did lol
>In 2002, HBO and the BBC agreed to co-produce the series, committing a US$100–110 million (£62.7 million) budget to the production of twelve 1-hour episodes, with HBO contributing $85 million, and the BBC contributing $15 million.
incorrect, it was cancelled well before they even considered GoT as a tv show
This. Fuck the multiculti Roman Empire

this is retarded, literally everything this image is trying to convey is wrong

Yea it’s called global consciousness you pathetic Reddit brainlet
What are you babbling about you sperg?
>like the empire consisted of a family at best.
Well more than anything else it's the story of Caesar, his immediate political allies/enemies, and two of his soldiers who are kind of Forrest Gumping their way through the major events of the fall of the Republic. It's not meant to be a documentary about the Roman Empire.
Find another significant event from the years that would've been covered in season 3 you newfag faggot with everyone else dead. Fucking poser you didn't even think about it just reacted because someone said something about a battle and your thoughts immediately turned to capeshit blockbusters.
newfaggots will be crucified
At least lurk the archives you pathetic newfaggot if you don't post here often there's more of these threads in the last couple days than in the past few months.
>like the empire consisted of a family at best.
What empire?
There is no empire in season 1.
We're gonna make you carry your own fucking cross then, jew.
holy shit augustus fought nonstop wars just from a military perspective alone
>What are the Cantabrian Wars
>What are the Alpine Wars
>German wars
>Nubian and Arabian expedition
>African expedition
You also have space for a lot of stories like a Praetorian subplot, a bunch of characters male and female like Augustus' seconds and heirs and family members
There is a RICH history at the middle and at the end of his reign too, the beginning is just more movie-friendly because Caesar
>Aside from accelerating season 2 the story was finished.
Accelerating season 2 was the problem though. They could have easily gotten 3 seasons out of that. Season 1 covers a period of about 5 years (Caesar crossing the Rubicon in 49BC to his assassination in 44BC). After that it's another 15 years before Augustus is "crowned" the sole ruler of Rome. Following the same pace as season 1, you could have seasons 2-3 about the rise of the Second Triumvirate and season 4 about the final showdown between Augustus and Antony.
>everyone else dead
You think a vacuum was left forever? The dead characters would be almost immediately replaced. Read a history book
>I don’t understand so it’s babble
Might as well fast forward to another big crisis with completely new cast as the main stories were pretty much finished. And they can do it any time with a title like Rome just start with the last years of Augustus and it's like it was always meant to be.
if your pagen civilizations are so superior then why did they get btfo by christians, the """inferior"" religions
hmm
don't try they're retarded
I almost feel bad for them because they're only mad out of inferiority. They're the same as the muslims as they hate, only on the opposite end
>jews ruining rome again
>Might as well fast forward to another big crisis with completely new cast as the main stories were pretty much finished.
I don't understand, do you mean fast forward after season 1 or after season 2?
>what is history
you mean the germans
name one group of people who have ruined europe more times than the germans, go ahead, I will wait.
And yet it does translate well because its a good series

>the absolute state of stormniggers
to my understanding the boss of HBO was changing and the new boss wanted to connect his name with new original stuff. Both Deadwood and Rome died for some asshat to make his name with Goth
>they dont know
>protestantism was wrong
The book is so much better. I love how Claudius dispassionately describes hundreds of pages worth of horrific behavior, murders and atrocities and then seems offended by the idea that Caligula possibly uses trick dice.
>trash europe with hundreds of years of infighting and religious wars
the former he was writing as a historian, the latter as a moralist
Did you somehow miss the recent sequel to Rome, The Young Pope?

Part of the set burned down but it was not entirely destroyed. Kaamelott, a French TV show used them in 2008/2009.

>i was talking about the CURRENT situation in Europe, which is indirectly due to christianity
You would throw away all of Rome's accomplishments and contributions to the development of European civilization just because some left-leaning Christians in modern-day Europe don't share your exact political views?
Geez I wonder why they didn't shoot a 3rd season then if it burned up after the second. HMMMM
because they had already canceled the show shortly after commissioning season 2 moron, the writer started writing season 2 and was told "btw we are cancelling it, so make this your last season"
>Why of course HBO's Rome is my favorite historical series, how did you know?
