This time, Adam actually made something better and more kid friendly instead of darker and more murderous.
The reason why we remember Colosseum as one big Arena filled with Blood is because that is how Christians described it in 500s
Why the dislike ? Gladiators back then were just WWE fighters nowadays. Contracted fighters with no union that worked them like slaves. It's Hollywood that romsntacized them.
Another fun fact. The reason why the arena was ever called a colisseum was only because there was a statue of Colussus built next to it. The arena's true name is the Flavian Amphitheater.
"alright, I want you to float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, and avoid damage like a uninsured rental car!"

Hey, is that Jerry from rick and morty?
Gladiators killed actually, a lot, but not other gladiators. Before the gladiatorial matches were the executions, when prisoners were executed in fights, or by animals, so anyone with strong stomach and desire for blood could satisfy their need.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same." Here in a thousand years or more, people may romanticize UFC matches as to-the-death cage arenas, or football having no less than 30 broken bones per game.
