Another example

History: The purpose of the crusaders is to recapture territories that had formerly been Christian.

Folklore: The purpose of the crusaders is to hunt down the blood-thirsty vampires, as seen in the movie, Priest.

Nairaland need to make people go through IQ test before they create an account.

Owopariola001:
Lol.

Are you dumb?

The Great Wall movie setting was after the construction of Great Wall.

Hence, the Great Wall of China period is not a folklore period. Because it has a historical date and event clearly documented, which is around1368-1644. During this period, Europeans have been trading with the Asians.
Even Marco Polo one of the foremost European adventurer to Asia traveled there around 1271– 1295.

Folklore period are usually termed "Pre-historical" period.

But are blacks been mixing with Europeans during the period/settings used for HoTD or TRoP?

You need to be sincere with yourself and learn.

Folklore and history are not the same thing, I can see you're truly lost, so I'll try to help you.

History_Real : The Great Wall of China was built as a military defensive line to defend the invasions from some northern nomadic nations.


Folklore_Movie: The Great Wall of China was built as a military defensive line to defend the invasion of an ancient reptilian alien race.

Can you spot the difference?

Frostyzone:
Damn bro, you dumb asf.

Worst part he doesn't realize it, I wish I can slap him.

Owopariola001:
You need to cure your low self-esteem.

Your race doesn't need to be in white folklore to feel good.

You don't see European characters in Chinese folklore movies.

Stop making a fool of yourself.

The Great wall with European characters.

What's with the low quality of humans we have on this thread.

First a liar, now someone that can not comprehend simple english.

Anybody who quotes me again, I won't respond.

Owopariola001:
Lol. You're suffering from low esteem. What role will a white man play in your folklore? A slaver or a slave? Be realistic bro.

Folklore is different from normal fiction.

Are you mad, don't you see mythology in the synonyms, you don't know what mythology is, see, leave me alone oh.

RayMcBlue is a liar and a liar and a liar, show me the comment where I said "blacks have no place in The Rings of Power".

Liar.

RayMcBlue:
Dude, pick a side and stop jumping on the bandwagon.

Last night, you were arguing on the side of "blacks have no place in The Rings of Power".

Today, you're have jumped ship to "nothing is stopping a folklore in having white or black characters".

Jeez, dude, are you dumb or what??

Mynd44 this liar just lied against me and called me dumb, Nairaland will never stand for such injustice.

Owopariola001:
Lol.

Are you okay at all?

In your tribal folklore, is there any White there?

If I want to put a white man in my tribal folklore I can do it.

It's folklore, not history I can see your brain dead, avoid me, don't quote me.

You're a mad pig, quote my comment where I said "blacks have no place in The Rings of Power".

Lying animal, you're a liar, you can't counter my argument so you start lying and like your comment with alternate account. Shame on you.

hatbricker:
This is true.

It's call folklore not history.

It seems like people on this thread don't know the difference between fiction, history and historic fiction.

Owopariola001:
Be calming down bro. African folklore doesn't include white, why will white folklore include blacks? Most especially black aristocrats with white hair.
Face reality, this is not an issue of racism. Except you have low self-esteem of your race.

Please have sense nah, nothing is stopping a folklore in have white or black.

Synonyms for folklore are mythology, myth, fabels.

Kaycee7:
It's kinda funny how it's easier for some folks to accept the fücking dragons than a black dude in a fantasy series.

I no no say you get sense like this.

Owopariola001:
It was even better than House of Dragon which used a "very black" man with white hair. I mean, though it may be possible like blacks in the Solomon Islands, that's not a usual thing among blacks. Plus a black noble in a prehistory period married a white princess? Nah.

It's a fantasy series with dragons, and you're questioning the possibility of a black man with white hair.

Please let's be thinking before talking, please.

crackhaus:
Oga go sleep, or read my initial post again to gain complete understanding.

A show which is based off a written material, and you're here claiming the writers can do whatever they want.

How did Tolkien describe Elves in his works? That's what matters...

Don't be silly.

Ignore that guy, he doesn't even watch Nigerian films, yet they are filled with black actors.

NobleStag007:
Anyone seen raised by wolves seasonal movie?

Trash.

Frostyzone:
Rid yourself of the inferiority complex dogging your path and influencing your mental equilibrium and be proud of your skin color. Be proud that the black race is getting a deserve representation in a great show.

Cheers.

Shame on you for thinking the color of your skin on a tv screen determines your self worth.

Baddestguyp:
huh?

Both parts of Stone Ocean are on animepahe

Arigato.

To think, I've been searching for it, yet it was right in front of me.

crackhaus:
On The Rings of Power, who else thinks they're doing too much with casting people of colour in the show?

Before anyone comes for me and accuses me of being a self-hating black man, try to pause for a minute and understand.

I totally get how casting black actors can be a noble idea considering how racially sensitive the world has become, but when it becomes too much, too unnecessary in some circumstances, and above all TOO obvious, then it starts to look forced & deliberate.

I will try not to make comparisons, but HOTD has done a better job at colour-casting than TROP has done, and it's for this one very obvious reason — HOTD did it without making it look forced.

TROP has us looking at black Elves (really? I thought Elves are known to have pale-skin with distinct colour of eyes), then there are black Dwarves (perhaps this could be overlooked), black Harfoots (not quite sure the purpose of having actors of colour included here).

Even with those characters they called Travellers/Hunters who had less than 2mins of screen time, they still managed to make one of them black.

Indeed it feels too deliberate, too forced... and honestly, once I start seeing that, then the novelty of it wears off and it starts to look patronizing.

Other than that, a good show overall... I am enjoying/will enjoy both HOTD and TROP to the fullest.

That's because TROP tries to be mainstream, HOTD doesn't give a fuçk.

brainhack:
Part 2 - Stone Ocean

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is the most unique and most creative Anime ever. I can hardly predict what would happen next.

It's not available on animepahe, help with link.

Hope2014:
Is episode 3 of house of Dragon out

Till 2 AM early in the morning, crab pirates in trouble.

Ilekokonit:
Na wa o. So, we were brainwashed and scammed to be responsible husbands when all na wash and a scam to make men carry too much responsibility on their shoulders in a one man one wife charade that only favors the woman and her children because for where I dey live, na women get pikin and the man na just sperm donor and financial provider to be milked dry if he doesn't come to his senses quickly and Japa from that trap called marriage.

That's why I have maximum respect for Jamo men. First they have children with multiple baby mamma's at the same time and NEVER live with any of them and the women dare not turn the kids against their Dad. Jamaican kids will NOT even listen to their mum if she advises them against their absent Dad.

But we for Naija, den don use religion condition us to do 1 man 1 wife when at the end of the day our women are no longer that loyal and they are in fact more hardened than hired killers.

You've said everything.

SeyiFargo:
Your husband died and you came to Nigeria to live with him ..
Well am not surprised Nigeria is the afterlife...

Bros I don laugh, my neck don dey pain me.

Please drop your account I want to send you money.

Ilekokonit:
The above statement is deep. Would you like to elaborate more as I want to learn.

Marriage is legalize prostitution, that's why it's called "marriage" derived from the word "mirage" which means illusion, something that isn't real.

And this explains why most marriage fail when there is no money.

nonireel:
On the contrary, house of the dragon waddles in monotony with the amateur, predictable storyline; lacking in good content. Only being saved by Rhaenyra.

Ring of power doesn't have a "wow factor".

I wanted to spoil the show to vex some people, but there's nothing to spoil, nothing to look forward to, it's that bad.

Look at House of the Dragon, look at how everyone is upset for the stupid decision the King is making, I sometimes forget I'm watching a TV Show and want flog the edíot on his neck with Tecno USB cord

nonireel:
After seeing the 2 episodes of each, I'd say The Rings of Power trumps House of the Dragon in various departments including dialogue, thrill, talking points, and ingenuity.

Ring of power is monotonous, with everyone having a facial expressions of a cement.

abduleez1:
Lol, quit tripping bruh. The 25 million viewers for RoP is for global in over 240 countries worldwide. That's a stark contrast indeed! For House of The Dragon that had 10mn viewers in 24hrs for each episodes in the US alone.

Get that straight bruh. Worldwide is different from US and Canada only stats.

Modified: I just remembered HBO/HBOMax isn't available in Canada. So we just dealing with ONE COUNTRY'S stats versus 240 COUNTRIES worldwide.

Tell me about greatness!!

Nigeria population is over 200 million, and I assure we plenty way watch am.

Nova15:

Kaycee7 will not like this.

Dotng:
I beg to differ. This is not confidence. This is a mark of respect for the quality of Rings of Power. They will not put the whole episode on YouTube so soon if they are sure that there audience is intact and will not be distracted. It is a recognition of a formidable opponent. When two equals are in contention, someone may have to do something different to gain an upper hand.

Your call that watery shít formidable opponent.lol

Mufakirnaqdiun:
Yes oo,sign of a slave,they keep following blindly without questions.
Ogbeni shift abeg.

When they can't attack your argument they start attacking you, because it's easier.

GRIMMJOE:
Am I the only one not hyped for the new lord of the rings.

After watching Game of thrones every other fantasy looks like play play.

Lord of the Rings is for children, Game of Thrones is for Men.

Just saw 2 episode of lord of the rings, and this comment is still valid.
