He was a little cringe, a little based. There’s too much nuance to this little life. I think the collared shirt under the metal breastplate is badass.

On one hand I respect the 'fine I'll do it myself' attitude but I don't like what he did to the Irish on the other.
I think the tank named after him is pretty cool though.

Not true btw, literally just a myth. Everyone seems to forget that Charles II and even more so William of Orange are more responsible for that.

but killing the royals, getting rid of the monarchy and fucking up the uk was based as fuck

I admire the Irish for rebelling but you can't blame Cromwell for being a capable leader. Plenty of other monarchs failed at conquering Ireland, but Cromwell knew what it took and achieved it.

Oliver Cromwell was great, but history may have turned out better had he accepted the crown when he was offered it. It is also possible he should have done a better job preparing his son, but parents aren't always to blame for their children's failure.

He has that specific inhuman anglo look that tries to monopolize the word "white" for itself and its abjacents, only for the result to end up with the word white considered an insult and a word signifying inferiority.

Utterly superb film; practically perfect acting from Cromwell. I loved whenever he got all puritanical, and especially when he(anachronisticly) strongly refuses the crown. Wish we had more historical English dramas like this vs just girl ballroom crap.
