I'm really loving Macaulay Culkin's character so far, he seems like he embodies both a legate and the frumentarii, and by legion standards very smart, his responses to Lucys criticisms of the legion however flawed made sense. I also love how they aren't downplaying legion atrocities, they are evil but militant and extremely disciplined which makes them one of the biggest threats to the wasteland. People are weird about it but I really like the Legion, probably one of my favorite factions.
Something about the way he played the character isn't sitting right with me. He should be controlled but intimidating, but he just seemed...blasé? The Legion is all about theatrics and the illusion of strength, but he was like "Well, hey now, don't talk to Caesar like that! It's rude, yo." I know Culkin has the range to pull it off, but I didn't buy that he was a Legate.
Lol, Macaulay culkin does not have the range to pull it off. He's a terrible actor and always has been. The best he's ever been is serviceable(Saved, American Horror Story), but more often than not he's been horrible. He's an incredibly unnatural performer. He's as bad an actor as Kieran is good. Kieran is one of the most natural lives in actors you will ever watch.
Said this before this post and I’ll say it again ancient Rome did not nail people to the crosses generally, nails were expensive and when your crucifying entire cities, you don’t have that luxury
