"da vinci's demons" follows in the footsteps of "the tudors" and "the borgias" by depicting this period of history as laced by high adventure, heightened characters and lots and lots and lots of sex. history vs. fiction -- this is a historical drama, but that doesn't mean we're dealing with non- fiction. while david goyer insisted that at least 85-90 percent of their story comes from history, "da vinci's demons" has more than a little embellishment. as goyer pointed out, "one of the themes of this show is 'history is a lie.'" what bits are fictionalized? well, there does seem to be a whole lot of sorcery- related stuff, which -- even if based on fact -- probably got exaggerated for tv. also, the show brings da vinci together with contemporaries that he probably didn't meet. and the best possibly fictional meeting? that would be with the romanian prince, vlad dracul. you might know the man better as dracula. that's right -- leonardo da vinci meets freakin' count dracula! da vinci's sexuality -- as any student of popular history knows, there has been a lot of speculation over the years as to the specific orientation of leonardo's sexuality. does the tv version follow along that speculation? kind of. while the trailer starz aired showed da vinci sharing intimacy with (several) women, the panelists assured reporters that other orientation options were a definite possibility. leonardo da vinci, superhero -- many reporters quickly noted that leonardo, in the starz version, is something of a renaissance superhero. it's not an accident. while we shouldn't expect superman or anything, comparisons to batman are definitely there. da vinci's parentage was mysterious and possibly violent, both men had a transformative experience in a cave, and -- as goyer pointed out -- batman's original cape design was based on da vinci's sketch of a glider. the big difference would be that da vinci builds war machines, attends parties and rides a horse. that's not batman's type of thing. sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/da_vinci%27s_demons http://www.tvrage.com/shows/id-32724 starz.com/originals/davincisdemons blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/01/da-vincis-demons-sex-history-adventure-and-more-sex- come-to-starz.html show information page: http://eztv.it/shows/815/da-vincis-demons/ show description, air dates, show resources, and torrent links. updated: march 21, 2013 |

ya right, there may be gay superheroes but the concept is not appealing enough to make a show about them when more of the demographic is straight or otherwise do not celebrate their sexuality as a cultural center. the exception to all of that may be lesbian superheroes since women are allegedly more genetically biased towards bisexuality and male audience can usually sympathize with a protagonist that has good taste in women. the only show that gay/bisexual superhero it is close to work for a male protagonist is sherlock who may be bisexual but it is not explicitly demonstrated or stated and cumberbatch plays him well as a psychopathic ocd anti-hero who doesn't care too much for sex anyways. for the rest it sounds like just another fictional history which between borgias, spartacus and vikings isn't all that exciting. |

i read something about this a few weeks...maybe a month ago my first thought when seeing the title was probably like many other people this is a take off of the movies and will probably suck! in what i read it is not, it is just a play on words for attention. i will watch a few episodes some of it does sound interesting but i fear my interest will wain in those few episodes. |

this is getting bad, really stupid they attempt to make this guy out as some conflicted genius but there is not reason for him to be other than the characters own childish stupidity, bullshit, he is an idiot that does stupid things that make no sense to anyone with common sense. |
