How insane to you need to be to think the ancient Greeks didn’t know about Africa? literally all of art history comes down the the Egyptians and Greeks teaching, learning, and reteaching each other art skills over the course of centuries.
Black people were invented by Woke Hollywood in the year 2019 AD in order to ruin movies.
I haven’t watched the movie, but I would imagine Africans is pretty common around Greece?
Someone certainly didn’t do all that well at their history lessons. If Memnon led an ARMY from Aethiopia to the siege of Troy there might’ve just been …say, a few people of different fucking complexions mucking about in the immediate aftermath of said siege.
Not to mention all the trade going on for centuries in those parts.
…and also, yeah, a Cyclops is just fine because it happens to be the right color, right?
But this is otherwise a complete dealbreaker, is it? What the fuck? (I mean, I know it’s just a racist piece of shit spewing idiocy, but still, what the everliving fuck?)
Americans are so weirdly racist. Both Europe and Africa are along the Mediterranean. From the southern most point in Greece to the North most point of Africa is less than 400km. The whole region of North Africa and Southern Europe is an ethnic melting pot dating back 1000s of years.
But regardless of that, it’s Mythology - not a documentary. I’m not looking to be “immersed” in American racism. I have zero issues with the cast representing the world I live in now, because it was made in the world I live in now, and features the people I live with now.
Americans are so weirdly racist.
As are Europeans. Look at the Danes for example and thier protect our couture immigration polices, whites only under another name. Germans just now having another nazi moment, Italy and the fall and current rise of Mussolini like politics. Then lets not talk of Poland and Hungary etal
Apparently the justification is “North Africans look white.”
These people geniuenly think melanin is binary and the blackest person from Tunis still looks Irish-American.Don’t tell the Americans that Romans were Latin, they’ll invent a time machine to bring ICE to ancient rome
It would be funny as fuck watching ice getting eaten by lions and bears in the arena.
My immersion of Ghost of Tsushima was ruined when I saw female lords being treated as equals to male lords.
I thought, “were they really equals back in Feudal Japan? This ruins my immersion.”
Then our brave, rugged, honorable lead Samurai who we respect, jumps on to his knees and prostrates himself at every opportunity in front of his uncle/lord, saying unironically how unworthy he is to exist in the presence of such a divine being…
…and I was like, “oh yeah. In those moments where he is actually true to his period, I lose all respect for him.”
Fair play game, fair play.
Yes, and because, as everybody knows, black people didn’t exist until modern times. 😒
They were officially invented in 1612 when the politically correct baron Du le penii of asswipe got high and said white girls have no ass, so he invented black people!
This is a joke but honestly not that far off
Interesting, sad, and no surprise. From the linked article:
"Role in the History of Racist Ideas
In the 21st century, the work of Zurara has been re-examined for its foundational role in the development of modern racist ideology. Historian Ibram X. Kendi, in his 2016 book Stamped from the Beginning, argues that Zurara was the world’s first racist because his chronicle was the first to articulate a comprehensive defense of the African slave trade based on the concept of Black inferiority.[12] Kendi posits that Zurara’s writing was not the cause of the Portuguese slave trade but rather a product of it; Prince Henry’s economic and political self-interest in the trade of enslaved Africans came first. Zurara was then tasked with creating a narrative to justify these policies.[13] According to this view, Zurara’s chronicle established a powerful and enduring justification for racism by portraying enslaved Africans as savages who were being civilized and saved through their enslavement, thereby creating racist ideas to rationalize pre-existing racist policies.[14]"
I have nothing to say.
What about all the Gauls/Celts they cast as Greeks? Complete immersion break. :P
Don’t they know the ancient Greeks didn’t have film technology! How can I watch this?
Uh yeah, a white giant cyclops, duh
It is widely known that black people did not exist back in ancient greece, duh
Don’t tell that to checks notes… Americans
What language were the actors speaking in?
Africans in the Mediterranean is only immersion-breaking if you’re the kind of stupid cunt that cares about shit like this
He means the immersion of his nazi fantasy land. The one where he is superior and only good white people exist. No jews, no other ethnic group other than Germanic, Nordic, Slavic or - dare I say - Saxon, Anglo even. Anything that breaks this delusion sends him off into a spiral of rage.
Then he posts about it online.
None off which are particularly Hellenic
That’s funny, bc too many racist ppl ruin my immersion in life
I know, right?! I’m used to when people see Nazis they get shot. They tell me now it’s unrealistic expectations from playing all those WWII games where you shoot them.
They ruin my fantasy that most people aren’t hateful and cruel.
What’s most immersion breaking is that they put pants on the Greek soldiers.
And the Viking ship
Pants on a Viking ship…?
I’d kinda like to see that.
Like this?
Or like this?
A riddle more intriguing and mesmerizing than Theseus’ ship
The jeans wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned from Crete had thirty rivets, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old denim as they decayed, putting in new and strong patches in their places, insomuch that this jean became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the jeans remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same.
The true mpv of this entire thread.
The second one. The boat is meant to represent a dragon, just without the appendages, and the second one is where its back legs would be. Could also have a pair for up front, I suppose.
That begs the question if pants are a “back legs only, not front legs”, or “legs only, not arms”.
Taking it to the extreme, would pants for a centipede look more like a tube with “sleeves” all along it or just like a tiny pair of normal (to us) pants?
This was under the assumption that it’s a 4 legged dragon. If the theoretical front appendages are arms, no pants up front. Although thinking about it again, with no junk to protect, front pants are kinda useless, so maybe don’t bother with them at all.
I’d say for any animal with multiple legs that are very close together, no pants at all would be best. At that point they’d be more of a hindrance than a help!
i say the dragon wears 'em like a bib, because the dragon is cool like that
Pretty sure nobody wore pants in ancient greece. The real greeks still don’t wear pants.
