Anyone else supported BASED Anthony over Octavian to the end?
Anthony got everything he had himself, he worked for it the same way Caesar did. Really his only fault is that he cucked out for pussy. Meanwhile Octavian was just an entitled kid who went on about muh rightful heir muh uncle, and he never really grew out of Caesar's shadow whereas Anthony build himself up and was a CONSUL OF ROME in his own right through his own achievements.
It's like Dany vs Stannis except both Octavian and Anthony are portrayed as flawed characters rather than one just being a perfect hero and the other one being a daughter-burning villain.

Landon Morris
You have to compare Rome to GoT because Rome was cancelled and rushed to the finish because of GoT.

I wish Purefoy had more recognition. Most underrated actor out there. He and Hinds reuniting in John Carter was great.
William Howard
Julius chose Octavian as his heir because of his merit: which proved a wise choice. Anthony sold out his nation for selfish gain, and was not as skilled a strategist. Octavian proved selfless in his marital choice, and as a resolute servant of Rome.
Anthony was a bro, though. No lie there.
William Thomas
Why do you think this?
Zachary Nguyen
>he never really grew out of Caesar's shadow whereas shouldnt have skipped history classes
Thomas Cook
>I wish Purefoy had more recognition No one wants to work with him because he's a massive prick.
Gabriel Lee
>HBO Rome is historically accurate
Holy fucking cringe.
Mason Lopez
no, real life history is historically accurate
Octavius did a lot more and a lot better for Rome than Caesar
Samuel Russell
>and he never really grew out of Caesar's shadow
Augustus was the greatest emperor Rome has ever had, he is the father of the Pax Romana. Caesar was just a good military commander.
Josiah Martin
Obviously but this is Sup Forums and not /his/.

How did you even manage to get to this board? You fucking idiot. Goddman you're stupid.

Imagine being this deluded.
Luis Bailey
i didnt expect any good comeback from an uneducated idiot and i am still disappointed lmao
Ayden Hughes
If you wanted my cumback you should have asked your mother. There's nothing to say to someone so stupid they can't understand the concept of talking about a show rather than real history. You're a deluded fool.
Gabriel Phillips
>Hedonistic loser Marc Anthony >Better than based Augustus and Agrippa
Fuck off you fucking faggot cunt.
Juan Ortiz
You fucking retard Augustus was viewed as a god after his Imperium. He exceeded Julius Caesar in his renown in Rome.
Jason Watson
>having to resort to insults ebin
Andrew Green
Augustus is based. That being said I think he owes much to Agrippa's victories.
Kayden Edwards
Yeah, if I were Agrippa I'd use my superior military skills to get revenge on Octavian for denying me my prime pussy, destroy Mark Anthony and rescue my waifu of the Julii
but they never fucked irl, so...
Chase Flores
>you're an uneducated idiot >WOW LOL YOU HAVE TO RESORTS TO INSULTS?
Eli Lopez
Honestly, what would Antonius have done for Rome in the long run? Nothing on the scale of Augustus. Antonius was the brash soldier, Augustus was the ruler.
William Sullivan
We're talking about the show ya pinhead. The show isn't a 100% copy of real history. It's based on it, sure, but it isn't the same.
Probably either sat on his ass and kept things in their status quo as Dictator until he eventually dies. I really doubt he'd have set up the Roman Empire as Augustus did. He may have gone on a conquest somewhere to rile up support for continuing his reign.
So no Anthony wouldn't have been good as Octavian, but we're discussing characters in a TV show and their personalities, not the real life people that they're based on.
Owen Garcia
Show really potrayed Octavian quite badly in both seasons.
Evan Fisher
literal autism.
Thomas Hill
Yeah, which is my original topic. Show Octavian's a petulant brat, even if he does have good moments. He's a multi-faceted character (just like Anthony) but when you scale up the two characters in the show, Anthony comes out as the gruff experienced guy that would know what the fuck to do (until Cleopatra gets into his head) in comparison to momma's boy Octavian.
Adam Davis
Octavian was a midling strategist backed up by based Agrippa. Octavian when on his own was as likely to lose, like he did against Sextus Pompey
Gavin Nelson
ofc
David Long
I feel I would've liked season 2 Octavian if the actor wasn't replaced
Oliver Campbell

Luis Kelly
>Playing Lepidus >Not playing Sextus "The Sex" Pompey and taking down the the Second Triumvirate.
For shame.
Owen Phillips
Lepidus is most comfy Roman. You join a triumvirate, fight a bit and then you bugger off to live a comfy life with the protection of Pontifex Maximus until dying of old age.
Elijah Richardson
Why would you want Chad to defeat fellow autist Augustus?
Elijah Martin
>not rooting for Chad
Benjamin Powell
>Marky >Chad He was a cuck who rised Titus' son.
Brandon Nguyen
No, Octavian was /ourguy/, an incest loving autist who almost got cucked out of his rightful position by some chad but triumphed over him in the end
