Why is Netflix so trying to convince us that the Romans were the "bad guys" here?

Every story needs an antagonist

Mostly because the Germans are seen as the under dogs fighting against an “EVIL EMPIRE”
General audiences relate more to the underdogs in movies and television.

I suppose you are American? That country always seems to think going into a country of less developed people and trying to convince them to copy you, make them slaves, execute a bunch of them, steal their land etc. is a good guy thing.
Isaac Sullivan
Because the story is being told from a Germanic perspective. And from a Germanic perspective, the Romans were the bad guys. From the Roman perspective they were following their interest. The only thing the show could do better is demonstrate that the Romans were partly there because of the Germans propensity to raid the Roman's Gaulish clients, who themselves realised it was better and easier to ask Rome for protection than bother fighting them off themselves.
Anyone with a brain realises that nations follow their interest as they best understand it, and to a large degree, bad guys and good guys on history is a matter of perspective.
The question really is, why are you asking such a facile retarded question?

>make them slaves, execute a bunch of them, steal their land etc.
Historians (except German) have something to tell you, barbarus.
Mason Richardson
Oh I get to see a retard realise that its a matter of perspective? wow I hope he puts 2 and 2 together.
Joshua Rogers
EVERY OTHER historian except German. This is not a perspective, but a common political engagement. A shameful phenomenon today.

Expansion to Germany, tellingly, was peaceful. Until Teutoburg, of course.

What a fucking disappointment this was. It looked so ambitious in the trailer but then the actual battle was literally no more than 20 Germans fighting 20 Romans. And all the Germans were fat boomers with huge guts instead of tall, sinewy mother fuckers that they actually were.
It would have been great with a show that was focused on just Arminius and his internal struggle between loyalty to his own, savage people and the civilizational force of the Roman empire. But instead we got the gay love triangle drama and muh strong woman leading all the men.

Stop. Just stop.

Because the jews hate everything that that lead mankind forward. The Romans did it in the ancient world, and since the fall of the Roman Empire the whites have lead humanity into the modern age today. Jews have just been trying to sabotage that progress all this time because they're still convinced that they're god's chosen when they're really the scum of humanity.

Seeth harder, barbarus. You even now, technically, live in Rome. The Romans created your civilization and your way of life. All that the Germans themselves came up with - was to destroy Europe from time to time.

It's called war. Every tribe, every village, every town, every people from all over the world has done this since the dawn of mankind. My neighbor has something and i want it, who is going to stop me from taking it?
