Gladiator 2 is just a lazy rehash of the first that manages to retcon loads of stuff for literally no reason, only redeeming aspect is some of the action scenes are cool but still pale in comparison to the og
There’s nothing lazy about it. Learn the definition of the terms you use. They didn’t retcon anything. This isn’t a different version of the original gladiator but Lucius’ story which would obviously be completely different from the previous. If you wanted to watch the org, you should just do so.
Literally the main plot point of Lucius being Maximus's son is a huge retcon when there was literally no kind of indication in the original and it makes no sense whatsoever, and it isn't "completely different from the previous" they effectively retooled the exact same character arc but made it worse
