And yet a country that is smack dab in the middle of Africa worshiping an Egyptian Cat God is all fine and dandy? Honestly, this seems like such a stretch. This is 100% a writer taking interesting concepts and adapting them to fit a story, its not appropriation in anyway.

Having the guy behind Dexter’s worst seasons and Inhumans behind it didn’t help.
