A bit far-fetched ending

The plot is good. I like this one better than , but it is somewhat reluctant from the arrangement of the ending of the story:

1. The slave never defected to Marcus. He didn't want this slave at the beginning. He became Marcus's slave because of self-esteem and Sense of honor (the word is not very accurate), but it is more honorable than freedom and honor as a British, isn't it more honorable to kill Marcus--enduring humiliation and then cutting off the scalp of the invader is different from the southern war and the war of the gods. The worship of the gods is relatively civilized The cognition of the advanced Romans, a slave born in a single ethnic and cultural environment, automatically jumped to the level where personal dignity and honor surpassed the deep sorrow of genocide. He had so many chances to kill Marcus but never wavered. cover for Marcus I find it bizarre that he, as a native of England, is so towards his slave owners

2. Even if the slave owners gave their slaves freedom there was still a class difference between the Romans and the conquered British, Marcus said Esca When I was a free man, no one in the House of Representatives showed dissatisfaction or contempt, and they all accepted it immediately. It was the Roman management class and the conquered third-class citizens. Well, the Romans recognized the conquered Britain. Citizenship of people?

3. Finally Marcus and Esca look like good partners. From hostile nation to good friend is just based on the understanding of honor and the recognition of each other is completely unaffected by class\environment\ethnic\background. The thinking of the two is too civilized. They are modern people. Is he really the son of the

legion commander? Is he really the son of the exterminated tribe chief? He gave up the position and honor of the commander of the ninth regiment so easily. The Roman Empire has not done anything to disillusion him. Could it be that the worship of the officer's father over the years, the pride of the Roman Empire, and the ambition to build a career have been defeated by an unknown person. The trash councilor of honor and liberty? Or that he's seen enough of death. Come on, the Romans are notorious for bloodthirsty, or the indoctrination and brainwashing (again misnomer) of a gladiator from an early age unraveled Rome's Children can enter the arena with thumbs down

5. Those Roman soldiers who escaped from the dead lived well for 7 years, tired of the war, and will come back for what they discarded? And a well-equipped and Roman shield has not improved in 7 years and The development styles are all the same.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few bugs on the props

. Well, especially the close-up of Marcus's face before the reappearance of the former 9th Regiment veteran in the last battle. Don't you think the colorful dark circles under the eyes due to fatigue and dehydration are very vivid? Salute to the makeup artist
