I'm tired of seeing my ancestors being portrayed as the bad guys in media, as cruel invaders, colonizers, raiders and they portray the barbarian savages as some noble, close to the nature, good guys that want to just be left alone
jews do this, they're still butthurt about based Hadrian

Gavin Jenkins

Marble houses and jews or wooden houses and Aryans.

>For the first time in over 70 years Germans make a series about their ancestors in which they don't portray themselves as completely evil inhuman savages. >Have only to go back 2000 years to even get it made. >Stinky gypsy can't shut his disgusting whore mouth
Jason Young
do they show germanicus btfoing the germans and capturing Arminius' family and the consequent betrayal by his brethens or is it just a barbarian power trip?
No, but they did show Germans eating the corpses of dead Romans, which was a weird flex.

Season 1 ends with teutoburg forest battle. We will see how they do the follow-up if they do other seasons.
Gabriel Campbell
Revel in it. It means that we have them reduced to their lowest, basest tactics.

>cruel invaders, colonizers, raiders This is accurate tho? Romans invaded, colonized and raided a lot of lands
Brandon Martin
Wooden houses. Only the naturally subservient would choose hell.

>muh ancestors Most of your ancestors were Barbarians too, Dacian, getting fucked just like the Germanics. Up until Caracella much of the Roman Empire's economy was reliant on the thorough exploitation of their subject peoples, first through plunder and slavery, then the Peregrini system. You Dacians were fucked particularly hard by Hadrian's adopted dad Trajan who basically funded all his state expenditure by stealing Dacian gold and selling your ancestors into slavery.
Kevin Bailey
they'll make a season 2 ROMANS ARE DACIANS COPE MORE >According to Lactantius, a Christian and adviser to Constantine, Galerius affirmed his Dacian identity and avowed himself the enemy of the Roman name once made emperor, even proposing that the empire should be called, not the Roman, but the Dacian Empire, much to the horror of the patricians and senators. Lactantius further states that Galerius exhibited anti-Roman attitude as soon as he had attained the highest power, treating the Roman citizens with ruthless cruelty, like the conquerors treated the conquered, all in the name of the same treatment that the victorious Trajan had applied to the conquered Dacians, forefathers of Galerius, two centuries before.
Roman Emperor said it,

>stealing Dacian gold and selling your ancestors into slavery desu it wasn't that bad Rome paid tribute to Dacia and also sent craftsmen even military trainers Trajan wanted to put an end to this "humiliation" and attacked but they made peace a lot of Dacians weren't ok with Decebal breaking the peace, thus there was treason
plus, romanization happened: Costobocii was a tribe that wasn't conquered by the romans yet, >A Latin funerary inscription from the 2nd century AD, was dedicated to Zia the Dacian wife of Pieporus, a king of the Costoboci. The monument was set up by Zia's grandsons
This show is hilarious. It doesn't tell us why these weird Romans are even in "rightful" germanic lands (just ignore celts lived there before shh) - aka germanics initiated hostilites with Rome in the first place with the Cimbri War and later on pissed Caesar by raiding his celtic allies: >"Ariovistus refused to comply, asserting the right of conquest and the right of the conqueror to exact tribute from the conquered. Ridiculing Rome's ability to protect its friends and boasting of Germanic invincibility, Ariovistus invited Caesar to attack him if he wished." >So Caesar smacked the shit out of him, the perfidious germanics fled across the Rhine where they were thinking they were safe since, you know, big river. So Caesar built a giant fucking bridge across the river in a week, marched his legions back and forth then tore down he bridge. Germanic chimp outs ceased for decades. >So then we get to the beginning of the series: "eviiiil" Romans are so evil they are demanding a tribute. This tribute is so harsh germanics start thinking of a chimp out. What was it? Like two cows and 10 bushels of wheat. A year. So nothing. >Later on we see a Roman camp. It's a giant meme and clearly, the creators had no fucking clue how it looked. It has no walls, only two sentries at the entrance and germanic terrorists can just waltz in, set fire to the camp and leave in stolen Roman armour. Nobody questions why these dudes, supposed legionaries, with illegal beards, are walking away from the fire with a woman in tow. >Thunselda is portrayed as giga super mega warrior and a sorcerres despite her being a literal nobody >Arminius and Thunselda are shown to be in love and marrying with all that glee despite in reality Arminius kidnapping Thunselda and raping her. Shit, she was so pissed after the rebellion she went to Rome and lived there with her son. >Segestes is shown to be a jealous snake kike-tier dude despite being a upstanding guy in reality. It's kraut dindu nuffin series.
