  • Why is Liu Bei the hero in Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

    Why is Liu Bei the hero in Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
    Dec 13 2025

    Why is Liu Bei the hero? He's not exactly a "good guy" compared to the other main players. Don't get me wrong. He's not a bad guy either, and ultimately that is why I think he gets the nod. He doesn't do the actual worst things, so by default, he's kind of the best.It's a form of logic, and good enough for framing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel the way it i's framed. Feel free to agree/disagree and tell me why!

  • 5 Key Differences Between Gladiator II Lucilla and the real Lucilla.

    5 Key Differences Between Gladiator II Lucilla and the real Lucilla.
    Dec 11 2025

    Gladiator II's Lucilla may have been fit the plot better, but the real Lucilla is so much more interesting...and at the risk of being obvious, is more realistic. She's rather flawless in the movies but the actual person from history is imperfect like the rest of us.

  • How historically accurate was Lucius Verus from Gladiator I+II? The answer will (not) shock you.

    How historically accurate was Lucius Verus from Gladiator I+II? The answer will (not) shock you.
    Dec 10 2025

    Lucius Verus was a real person. Lucius Verus from the movie is a fiction. That's not surprising. Movies are made for entertainment, not education. But just how much of his life in the movies was made up?Well, pretty much all of it.#history #historyfacts #gladiator #gladiator2 #romanhistory #historicalfigures #historyshorts
