I'm talking about plot and storyline not world influence but even so GoT was birthed and has tons of material inspired by historical events breh :troll:

I'm a fan of Spartacus but I'm not a blind stan, it's a simple series compared to other historical pieces like Rome.

In defense of Sparatcus it is a pretty complex show with comments on slavery and by extension domination of people. Also they show homosexuality in a way that is not campy at all. It is just that they use alot of soap opera elements to keep people interested and the casual watcher at least on this site is more interested in t*ts and violence then the deeper issues that are presented.

if you like watching GOT over Spartacus you grew up with no male in your household.

I watch GOT as well but If both would come on at the same time I would DVR the hell out of GOT.

:ahh:
I prefer GOT as a show and love the books but can anyone seriously say that the huge battle in Blackwater wasn't disappointing. Spartacus handled the huge battles much better.

Spartacus is True Blood and Walking Dead status. Fun to watch but ain't shyt that's gonna resonate with you. Game of Thrones is Breaking Bad, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire, etc. status. shyt you have to actually pay attention to and decipher. If I don't want to think and just enjoy some fighting, blood, and titties Spartacus has that on lock. If I want to think, be intrigued, and see some fighting, blood and titties then Game of Thrones it is. :steviej:

That makes no sense as one of the best things about Spartacus are the betrayals and political intrigue.

Which are usually easy as hell to see coming. I have never been :ohhh: from a Spartacus plot twist. The "betrayals and political intrigue" are nothing but cliche misdirection. The "politics" in the show are basically a scene here or there of some Romans talking loudly and a dude with a shrewd look at the end. Game of Thrones is political. It's not just action/reaction. Motives are explored. There's no such thing as good guys and bad guys.

I love both shows, but they're on two completely different levels.

Didn't say they're on the same level. But Spartacus is great at what it does. :yeshrug:

C/s this powerful thread...

:smh: @ spending an entire season hyping up a war that ends up being one big ass explosion and 10 vs 10 scrimmage...Cersei had more screen time in that final episode than the battle...

And anyone of Crixus speeches in his final episode >>>>>>>>>>>> that corny uninspiring speech the midget Lanister dropped
