Official Spartacus Season 3 War of The Damned Thread

[NUPE 1911]

so whats sparty gonna do ?

go chill in the mountains on farm churning butter and herding cattle??

crassus gonna KILL THEM ALL


make your stand today with all your men or wait

Spartacus a tactician? thats why he trusted a dirty ass pirate when others warned him not to.

thats why he lost thousands of men in the winter storm and then wanted to go fighting after.

now hes down crixus, agron and the dude who looks like kratos, as well naevia and thousands other

the only gladiators from baitatous ludos left is spartacus and gannicus, everyone who rode from you from the start he on them.

Spartacus is The Rebel King. A King takes care of his people. That is what Spartacus is doing.

As for Spartacus, he is the sole reason that the rebels have survived this long and are free to begin with. LoL @ questioning Spartacus' tactics. Spartacus has bested everyone Rome has sent at him thus far. In comparison, Crixus got merked as soon as he attempted to play leader, allowing himself to be flanked and sandwiched between two massive legions of Roman's. You somehow blame Spartacus for this?

You do realize Crixus had just about every fighter with him and still got his ass smashed due to failure to properly watch his surroundings. You mad at Spartacus for refusing to purposefully send women and children to their deaths?

Spartacus knew there was no way to take Rome. Spartacus is always bout that life BUT always has a sound plan and knows where his enemy is 99% of the time. Spartacus made the decision a leader had to make.

Crixus is all brawn and emotion and rage but does not think things through. Crixus made a decision based wholly on emotion rather than common sense (like a woman)...

He started a war on slavery though. Running isn't an option. People die every day b It's freedom, a cause to die for. Crixus had the right idea. Strike the heart of the matter and show the Romans that this is what happens when you put the people in chains. Spartacus could have sent some low grade fighters to escort and disappear with the non-combatants. Then join Crixus to go all out on Rome.

Damn I hate Crixus had to go out like that. But I knew it was inevitable once him and Sparty split and he gave that big speech. I know they gonna break Naevia off something real proper like for being Crixus chick. They pretty much treated Agrons death like he was a minor character though. And I see why they aint doing a Caesar spinoff now. Who could watch a spinoff with him knowing he has got violated like that.

maybe agron isnt dead

could just be donnar'd unconcious

 

[MidniteJay]

maybe agron isnt dead

could just be donnar'd unconcious

If he isn't dead that's even worse. Crassus gonna crucify the survivors anyway.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

sparty is a bytch ass nygga

all the real gs died


@The Fukin Prophecy i see you breh drop your thoughts
2 more episodes before he goes out like a chump

You can't really blame Spartacus for refusing to march innocent women and children incapable of defending themselves into a slaughter...Trying to escape through the Alps was the only possible way Spartacus and his people could have survived...Was escape a hoe-ish path for the bringer of rain to take? Yes but it was also the smartest because he realized he didn't have an army to fight Crassus...

Following Crixus the brute absent of any strategy was equivalent to jumping off a bridge...Crixus path lead to inevitable death and his split from Spartacus achieved nothing other than securing swift victory for Crassus and Rome...Even Fagron acknowledged it was suicide hence why he told his bend over buddy to go with Spartacus...

crixus did not have the quantity of men that spartacus had when he still had his failures.

only a few men the real men not the pussified ones went and took up arms with crixus. crixus went all the way to almost the gates of FRIGGIN ROME

i blame spartacus because hes selling a bunch of lies he knows he cant run forever and will have to fight, instead of leading everyone to a glorious victory or defeat he became a friggin coward.

cant wait till hes up on that cross

Spartacus started a war because he wanted freedom. He decided NOT to attack Rome to assure that the people he freed (women and children) had a real chance at freedom rather than a 100% chance of death in a failed attempt to siege Rome. This is fairly simple and easy to understand.

Man crixus was stupid as fukk smh

thing is your gonna get crushed anyways, its like what mel gibson said in that speech in braveheart

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

spartacus is a bytch ass nikka, send the women and children with a few men to safety nd take up arms and put sword to purpose.

sparty lost his way

 

[MikelArteta]

watched it again, i dont think agron is dead.

Even donnar a guy with barely any lines and nemetes there deaths were shown graphic

they showed crixus head removed from shoulders

 

[Bud Bundy]

I don't agree but I can see the logic in what Reincar is saying. Spartacus started all of this yet is leaving it to Crixus to truly stop it. Crixus is right, Crassus isn't going to just let them live out the rest of their days chilling on a farm and churning butter. If I was Spartacus I would have Laeta lead the slaves who couldn't fight over the mountain and have all of the best fighters form one army and head towards Rome. Spartacus was always the tactical one of the two so who knows how that battle plays out with him and another thousand able bodied warriors added to the mix.

That said, Spartacus feels responsible for all of those slaves so he wants to see them to freedom himself, I get it.

Well this is all made up history and it is working towards a conclusion we are all aware of. But with that Spartacus was thinking long term and knows the power of the Romans. They were all enslaved by Romans and not trained in war fare. Rome is about conquering people and there army were no where near there level. They got lucky and barely won against weak and untrained Legions and now they had a rich roman coming after them who was outsmarting you at every turn. You are not going to take him out head on. My only conclusion is that Crixus wanted to die on stage and Spartacus didn't. That is what different about their characters Crixus was always seeking glory of some kind while Spartacus was figuring out who he is and excelling at it. Spartacus could see that Crixus achieved what he could not. He got his woman back alive after she was taken by the Romans something Spartacus failed at but Crixus wanted more and while Spartacus achieved freedom Crixus could not. But that choice that Crixus made is what Spartacus was really fighting for

If Crixus grew he would see the best way to strike at Rome is get away thus spreading the legend around the world that Rome aint shyt. If slaves within the empire can rise up and escape Rome then this empire they keep bragging about can't be that bad. shyt if Spartacus and his lieutenants got a away each went back to there homeland and started teaching there tribes how to fight Romans history could have been different.

but history didn't go that way.

Yeah I understand all that soft shyt but do you understand how huge the Roman empire was at the time? Say they do make it by running away that's looking over your shoulder in fear for the rest of your life. Most of the slaves that was in Spartacus' company were made slaves because their homeland was already conquered by Rome. That doesn't leave much places to go my nikka.

It's not that I don't agree with you here breh, I would have rode with Crixus because to me a life on the run ain't worth living...I'd rather die a free man with purpose than a man on the run looking over his shoulder everyday...Crassus and Rome weren't going to let them escape and the barbarian hordes up north wouldn't be any kinder to them...So either way blood would still have to be spilled to ensure freedom and survival...

That said I understand why Spartacus chose the path he did...Again he didn't have an army to win this war...He wanted to live to fight another day and that is a strategy that has worked out quite a few times throughout history...Spartacus also came from the lands up north, he knows the terrain very well...

 

[Houston911]

Argon isn't dead and naevia isn't either

Have the barbarians up north been mentioned?

Could they be spartacus allies in the finale?
