The second Dynasty were mostly of Nubian descent (and thus would have shifted the demographics some what with their followers and descendants.

That’s a tried and true way to make a group “good” to American audiences. See 300 for another example (the Persians didn’t have slaves at the time as a culture where as Sparta had a very brutally treated slave population).

Please go away and troll elsewhere. You're acting like herpes.

Most successful civilizations are diverse and it's the reaction to that diversity that brings it down.

When SJWs can figure out how to not whitewash the American movie going public, let me know.

I remember when I was in high school, my history teacher (Ancient Civ.) told us that ancient Egypt was part of the Mediterranean world. She went on to describe how Egypt had more in common with Rome and Greece than sub-Saharan Africa. I tuned out at that point. The attempt to erase the African from any historical…

Not going to defend them at all and this movie looks like it will be awful, but there is one black guy. Chadwick Boseman is playing Thoth. And his characters poster is this. Are they trying to make it seem more diverse by just adding in more pictures of him?

I saw a preview that had a woman who looked like she could be Middle Eastern. It also looked like she was the villain. See, they can cast people with a darker complexion as long as they play the bad guy.

Only when it invalidates you. Only then.

it’s fucking maddening that such a person would have a job in the first place.

I don’t know what that was but I didn’t like it.

Bet it was the same person who thought they could get a franchise out of the Clash of the Titans remake.

“From the long-term prognostication team that brought you the Green Lantern trilogy!”

Bad news for historical epics. I’m beginning to lose hope I can get funding for my upcoming Shaka Zulu biopic . And that’s with Miles Teller already attached for the lead.

They didn’t greenlight this film with the thought of having one film. They greenlit it hoping to get three films out of this.
