It's a docu.

zoroby:
Can't wait...

Baddestguyp:
The Penguin teaser trailer

I'm honestly not sure who asked for this...
They could have as well just made a crime series with any other Character...

I'll predict it here
They're just banking on the Batman name and they'll probably save a pointless Batman short appearance for fan service at the end of the season

Yea... Aegon's Conquest shoulda been the first.... The story is too top tier to ignore. I don't really mind if they do it before or after. My own is they must adapt that show. I also have this burning itch to see Valyria during their peak before their destruction.

Illusioneffect:

Have you read the book?

abduleez1:


Why don't you watch the docu series first before rambling about its theories you saw in a trailer.
That's why it's a docu for a reason.

Going with the antecedents of how documentaries work and basing off what it'll be when historical accounts such as this is well known to have different school of thought. Basing off how a docu is by a trailer seem redundant especially when it's coming from a single commentator. It's a touchy subject and hotly debated topic. In the league with the "Jesus was Black" talk. Theories like this also has some solid backing to support it. At times facts are updated based on newfound evidences from historical events and fossils.

Who knows whether they have new info we don't have yet. 🤨🙄 We learn new things everyday.

LordAdam16:


Queen Cleopatra was Greek. A bona fide Caucasian Greek to be exact.

The evidence is conclusive.

There has been nothing in mainstream Egyptology to remotely suggest that Cleopatra was black. Nothing new to that effect has emerged in recent years either.

It is premium BS to suggest that this is "touchy" or "hotly debated" or in anyway related to the wacko "Jesus was Black" theories.

In fact, Ptolemaic Egypt is described in history circles as a Greek civilization. For more in-depth information, look up the "Hellenistic Period".

The truly astonishing part is that this is being billed as a documentary. Not a fictional story loosely based on an historical account. An actual effing documentary. I find it insulting.

If a filmmaker tried to make a documentary about Lady Slessor and depicts her as a Black African woman, what would be your response? Would you describe it as "touchy" or "hotly debated"? What about Lady Khama?

If skin color is so important, there are other Egyptian Queens that fit the bill. Queen Nefertiti and Pharaoh Hatshepsut come to mind. Pharaoh Hatshepsut dressed like a man with fake beards according to some accounts. That could fit their trans ideology or whatever. But they had to go pick an unmistakable Greek icon to make a mockery of black excellence.

Attack on Titan

ab221:

Still waiting for the English dubbed version.

Baddestguyp:
This is still probably the best directed TV episode of all time

Mr Robot S04E07

A masterpiece

I watched this episode and stood up to clap for the director...

Baddestguyp:
I honestly don't know who makes these decisions at Netflix...
Maybe they needed the attention from the controversy...
Like Velma, they might want people to hate-watch

pu7pl3:


I've not seen the series.
What made this episode stand out that much?

LordAdam16:


About the bolded, you may be on to something.

The African Queens docuseries is supposed to comprise four parts.

The first, Njinga, has already aired to virtually zero fanfare. Angolan Queen played by a black actress.

Then they switched things up with Cleopatra. Deliberately adopt an historically inaccurate casting choice. And voila, it goes viral.

I'm not even their target audience. Yet, I'm like "wElL aCtUaLlY"...

for the latest episode?

I think it should be out in a few weeks...
It only took this long cos it's a 1 hour episode...
Normally it comes out a month after

ab221:


Yeah the latest one. Will wait then, even though i watched the one in Japanese at release but can't seem to enjoy if its not dubbed.

Davidganna10:
What I don't get about this woke series, are the doing this to win award? is it a layed out rule for the entrainment?industry especially in America, or it is a personal stuff?.

Using succession as a case study, I don't think I have seen any LGBTV stuff from season 1 to the current season ( I stand to be corrected). Secondly, all the major casts are white. Even with this they always gulp the awards at the Emmys.

Is there something I am omitting because I don't understand.
