SPOILERS: Hear me out, Denzel's character should've been portrayed by someone else who wouldn't steal the light from Paul Mescal and then have the film focus entirely on the revenge plot line. Develop Lucius as a great fighter, leader, but angry son who seeks to punish Pedro and his mother. Denzel should've been like Varus or Littlefinger (GOT), on the sidelines plotting his insurrection - instead, he's made into a prominent figure that takes up time from developing Lucius. By focusing on the revenge plotline, Lucius's beliefs are slowly broken down but he's too angry to listen to reason. So...as he makes his way to Pedro Pascal, before killing him, he learns/embraces the truth and spares him - only for Denzel to push the Twins into killing Pedro. BLACKOUT. Simplifying the movie into a revenge film would've developed Paul Mescal's, Lucius, and made a more believable arc with his character by the end of this film. The 3rd installment would be him embracing his father's dream, taking back Rome, and living onward to remember his father, mother, and, most importantly, his wife.
