Itt: Historical TV thread

This was an underlying subtext of the book. Despite all the superficial claiming of muh honor and benevolence, in the end, Liu Bei was just using the lives of ordinary people and destroying the peace and unity of China for his own selfish ends.
At least that's how I learned it in Taiwan. Maybe my literature teacher was based.

Show didn't exploit and depict this well, what a waste.

Really? I thought it was pretty clear cut
Liu Bei was a fucking asshole by the end, his only heir was useless and a lot of good people got killed as a result of his idiotic principles

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wtf spoilers maybe/???

I loved how
>I would rather betray the world than have the world betray me
made every chink in chinkland completely shit their pants

Cao Cao is OG nihilist

He was, and it was clear, all I know about all this story is from the show. What I mean is that it could have been done better, too much retarded drama around him, and his brothers where stupid caricatures. Liu Bei and everything surrounding him (except for Zhuge Liang who bas based, but got all shitty in the end with the non-stop crying) was the worst part of the show, but it didn't have to be like that.

> based on a novel
> which is itself based in history
> ...spoilers

It is like spoiling Rome

I made it a point not to read any history about the 3 Kingdoms period when I was watching the series and I'm pretty happy about it because who actually founded the next imperial dynasty was a god tier twist

more so because of how it unfolds, and how unexpected it is being that the show doesn't use much surprise or twists during the whole plot

Also he's a faggot who never even played Dynasty warriors

Being Chen Gong is pure suffering. Damn.

Sounds like social score is going down to 0 if China finds out about your heresy.

Deadwood has been great so far in both adapting the historical characters and the feel of the setting.

HAO

Is this show actually good? Was thinking of trying it out

Yes.

"Rome" is just an inferior prequel to "I, Claudius" anyway.

Where do I download/watch this?

Is it good all the way through? 95 episodes seems like quite a time investment.

The nihilists would consider his talk of honor "spooked."

It's good in streaks. A few episodes and sections slow way down but that's how history is. It's great overall if you find the story interesting.

Yep, I came to the exact same conclusion in the book. Liu Bei was an opportunist just like every warlord in the era and for a supposed man of honor he betrayed every single one of his benefactors. He also didn't hesitate to discard and/or kill those who did not benefit him.

Fuck the Wusses

It's a shame that he was so good at losing and so bad at dying, otherwise Cao Cao could have taken everything in like 20-30 years.

Immigrants
>In order to alleviate the shortages of labor caused by the Three Kingdoms wars, the Jin allowed millions of non-Chinese, Yi people to reside in Jin territory. Many officials opposed this decision in the name of the Hua–Yi distinction, claiming that if the barbarians did not identify with the Huaxia, they would conspire to destroy the empire.
Chinese thought they could import third worlders and teach them to be Chinese.

It’s on YouTube.

China's been utterly defeated time after time by forces with deficits over 10:1 when compared to theirs. Their military history beggars belief.

Reading their history feels like taking crazy pills.

>"The greatest traitor has always resembled an honest man, and the greatest falsehood comes across as truth. Righteousness and evil cannot be discerned by their appearances. Perhaps in the past you decided wrongly about me, and perhaps today you misjudged me too. However, I remain myself. I have never cared about others misjudging me."
typical of the national villain Cao Cao

I'm around episode 70, is there an episode missing? Playlist has 94 episodes but the list for the show has 95.
Things get pretty hard to watch from here don't they?

>Playlist has 94 episodes but the list for the show has 95
I'm not sure. I think there's another upload, I'll check that when I get back home

the playlist doesn't have episode 6 or 7 if I remember well

Thought I was in /twg/

Yeah episode 6 gets blocked for copyright but it's still on the list so I'm wondering if a different one is missing completely. I found 6 on daily motion though.

Actually, I very much liked how it was done. It's not clear cut on whether Liu Bei is an ambitious warlord that just uses the Han as a pretext to gain power or truly a selfless Han scion that wants to save the dynasty via his noble and just attitude. The dialogue that indicates the former is always very subtle, very nuanced. It's way better than just spelling it out for the audience.

the 1994 series looks pretty dope

Your teacher was a Maoist. It wasn't until Mao that Cao Cao was given respect as a philosopher king and Liu Bei an upstart.
In the end it's all bias bug shit, but Cao Cao in this show is based.

The Qing dynasty fucked up the Han chinese badly and made them into servile bugmen. The Communists finished the job by eliminating all vestiges of civilization and replaced it with Qing style tyranny coupled with forced collectivisation, making them into the soulless insects we see today.

They'll get there again soon.

not sure just started downloading myself but considering a few episodes are jewstruck on yt its the best i could find

only stuff that would qualify would be documentaries/docudramas, best I'd say would be David Starkey's Monarchy/PBS Empires stuff, especially Napoleon

How the fuck is this even possible? I don't get how can someone even claim copyrights on that? I'd understand if it was one of the shows/movies Netflix bought the rights for

and yeah, it's the same thing as on YT

I Claudius if you like the roman period, Rome if you somehow haven't watched it(also quite accurate for a tv show). Hornblower series if you like napoleonic navy era stuff, Sharpe is similar but focused on land, idk theres a lot of decent historical Yea Forums series/miniseries

"From the Earth to the Moon", if you're able to enjoy historical fiction about the moon landing hoax, is pretty kino.

For me, it’s MtG Cao Cao

Reminder that Lu Meng started out as a poor illiterate nobody and eventually became one of Wu's top generals/commanders.
Reminder that Lu Meng seized almost all of Jing province without spilling a single drop of blood.
Reminder that Guan Yu treated his subordinates like crap and that's why they handed over his territories to Wu
Reminder that Guan Yu and his """oath brothers""" were basically mercenaries who raped and plundered wherever they went
Reminder that the three of them often slept in the same bed
Reminder that Guan Yu couldn't even govern his lands properly and much of Jing province was starving because he couldn't or wouldn't even distribute food from the supply depots

Not really, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms its based on is not particularly accurate, it's considered more of a fictional saga than a true account of the period. I think it's more or less pretty faithful to the source material though

Meant for
