It's not like there weren't other inaccuracies in the movie. Commit to your premise, writers! Make something interesting! Dare to dream bigger things! Be like Ursula!

The whole point of the ending was romans coming together to create a better society, so let's have some togetherness leading up to it, hm? Because what the movie set up was another line of dictators instead of a more egalitarian society. It set up "but this king is a good one". How about no kings?

The sudden about turn in his relationship with his mother and also Acacius because of someone he met once, knew as a gladiator, and whose name he heard once in the Coloseum, that is all kinds of stupidity. Set it up, please! There needs to be more.

Ravi was great, loved him, more of that kind of thing, please. That whole "sole great man of history" is such utter bullshit that I cannot even. His dream of Rome should have started manifesting in the Coloseum as part of his healing journey.

Play up the feeling of having been abandoned while his mother lives in luxury in Rome. Like seriously, he was young enough to have hoped and had that hope turn into anger and hate. Play up the found family of other gladiators, the way they worked together outside of the arena.

Ok, it's over, here's how I would have fixed Gladiator 2: Remove the wife entirely. I hated that she was so blatantly created as a plot point. The loss of his land and his king should be more than enough when coupled with the abandonement.

Well at least Red Sonja is coming to fridge men for a change.

If you’re looking for something specific, please ask, my brain is kind of fried right now, so I don’t even know. 😅

In the atmosphere and the one downstairs serves a pretty good lunch. Green Hippo is lovely for vegetarian food that won’t leave anyone dissatisfied.

Worth a stop even just to see the meringues the size of your head.
If you want Asian, Lie Mi is good. Also Hoku and Oppa Korean BBQ.
I would also recommend stopping by either of the cafes in the main library Oodi, if only for taking the time to hang out there. The one upstairs is good for taking

Harju 8 for really delicious Finnish-French bistro fusion food. Especially recommend their perunarieska with herb butter (it’s a starter/side dish but it’s just really delicious. You can get korvapuusti, which is the local version of cinnamon buns, but my favorite is Cafe Esplanad, which is
