Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] - The score is by [[Hans Zimmer]] and [[Lisa Gerrard]]. Do the math.
* [[Complete Monster]] - By the end, there's little doubt that Commodus is one. [[Joaquin Phoenix]], who played Commodus, did a superb job of transitioning from the traditional pompous son of the emperor into a genuinely frightening and insane villain.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: For some strange reason, some fans ignore that Commodus is a parricidal, selfish, incestuous creep who likes rubbing into people's faces that he's had their [[Stuffed Into the Fridge|wives raped and children crucified]].
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Since The Pirates of the Caribbean came out the epic soundtrack of Gladiator brings to mind the quirky antics of Jack Sparrow more than the epic deeds of Maximus.
* [[Historical Hero Upgrade]]: Lucilla. The real life Lucilla was involved in a conspiracy to assassinate Commodus and ''[[The Starscream|replace]]'' him with herself and her husband. She failed and was executed.
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Win the Crowd]]: The [[Trope Namer]], and the first battle likely did just that for the audience.
