      It's so much easier to justify, and even enjoy, acts of cruelty when the victim lashes out. When the perpetrator can pretend that they are in the right for defending themselves, when they can imagine that what they fight is an evil being. When the illusion breaks down, the perpetrator's and audience's empathy is in danger of reasserting itself.

    Fun fact: George Lucas re-imagined the existential dread of seeing war elephants for the first time with the AT-AT walkers coming across the snow of hoth. That scene is a direct reference to Hannibal Barca coming down out the Alps to attack Rome. Further fun fact, the number of walkers even represents the Carthaginian attack in numbers. There are only 3 or 4 elephants left to Hannibal by the time the Alps had been crossed, but that was still enough to be psychologically effective. Empire strikes back only shows 3 to 4 walkers and their effect is very similar in the film.

    I’m a Latin student, and I have a few things to say.
    2. Emperor Commodus being the one to create the arrow designed decapitate an ostrich is very fitting, since “commodus” means convenient.
    2. “Damnatio Ad Bestiās” translates to “condemnation to the beasts” or “condemnation towards the beasts”.
    3. Also, fun fact, rich Romans would eat peacock and oysters when they had guests over. They would also eat a sauce that’s essentially dead fish that’s been left outside for an extended period of time. It was considered a delicacy. You may think that it smells disgusting, and I would have to agree, but Romans used olive oil as soap. I don’t think the smell bothered them much.

      It was the Christian belief of Manifest Destiny that caused the near extinction of various species endemic to the Americas, not to mention the natives that had lived among these creatures for millennia. Settlers came to the Americas with the hope of a Christian Utopia believing that all that lived and breathed there belonged to them by the "will of God". Thinking that one form of thought magically ends something awful is not entirely correct, the evolution of human thought is way more complicated than that and sadly human morbosity is just a species trait.
