In fact, I have written a similar type of article in one day, that is, when I saw the second season, I always felt very awkward, and many of the content of the first and second seasons were inconsistent, especially the relationship between the black coach and Gannix, how it was messy.
But after reading the prequel, it is immediately clear that Gunnix actually has a crush on the wife of the black coach, and at the behest of the master, Gannix and his best friend's wife have done something disgraceful.
But that was the case in that era, when the slave was an artifact in the eyes of his master, and he could do whatever he wanted, and if he refused, he might be in danger of being beheaded.
It was this incident that gave Gannix a little bit of an affair with Melita, the wife of black coach Onomammes. This private affair also led to the tragedy that followed.
Melita thought that Ganix would be sold, and actually took the poisonous wine that Ludia gave Titus to Ganix to practice, but without knowing it, she drank a drink first, resulting in poisoning and death.
If you watch the prequel, you will understand why there is a mustard between Onomammus and Ganix in the second season, after all, such brotherhood, and the love between husband and wife are not clear in one or two sentences.
When the first season was filmed, there was no Ganix scene, but when the first season was on fire, STARZ was ready to shoot the second season. Andy Whitefield, the actor who starred in "Blood and Sand", suffered from cancer, and the film crew hoped that he would recover and continue the next shooting.
In order to wait for the uncertain male protagonist, STARZ decided to shoot the prequel first, so Ganix joined, with "God of the Arena", so that the story is more abundant.
So the correct order for everyone to watch the movie is to watch the first season of "Blood and Sand", then watch the prequel "God of the Arena", and then watch the second and third seasons.
The first season is relatively closely related to the story of the prequel and the second season, and it is Spartacus who constantly improves, then preserves his strength and continues to develop upwards.
By the third season, with the appearance of Caesar and Crassus, the situation was reversed. Crassus, Caesar and Pompey, known as the Three Giants of Rome, came to deal with Spartacus twice, and this screenwriter really gave Spartacus enough face.
Of course, the real history cannot be traced, after all, Spartacus, as the party of the suppression, certainly has not many words that can be handed down.
The war scenes in the third season are well filmed, especially in the last few episodes, Spartacus used many ways to fight with Crassus in order to reverse the tide of the war. But in the end, because the disparity between the enemy and us was too great, Gannix was crucified and Spartacus was pierced through the chest with a spear.
The cruelty of war is filmed very clearly, not only by blood plasma to show the effect, but also by the design of the big scenes. Spartacus's tactical application was successful, and the defeat was not a tactical failure, but a numerical failure, and the historical environment did not allow the unorganized Spartacus to rule the world.
As an insurgent, Spartacus had actually performed many miracles, successfully avenged his wife, killed the slave owner Batitas, burned the Capua Arena, killed the Roman deputy general Grebo, and competed with the richest commander at the time, Crassus, for a long time. These are all remarkable achievements, and although the defeat of YuRong is not an exaggeration to describe Spartacus.
The wheel of history is such a giant of history, leading ordinary people who are willing to forge ahead for the dreams he depicts.
Well, this is a simple summary of it, recently watched too many American dramas, I heard that the old cadre Jin Dong has a new work, I quickly look for it, maybe there are surprises.
That's it, thanks for reading.
