>And here it is, the first trailer for upcoming fantasy epic Gods of Egypt, and wow is it white as hell. Directed by I, Robot director Alex Proyas, the film loosely follows the mythic conflict between Set and Horus, two gods vying for the throne of Egypt. Starring Games of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and P.S. I Love You's Gerard Butler, the film promises to be an orgy of terrible acting and awful CGI.
>But did I mention that this movie is exceedingly white? Because it is. For a movie taking place in Egypt, whose ancient people were, scholars agree, by no means close to our modern idea of whiteness, you'd be forgiven for thinking this took place somewhere on the playa during Burning Man. To quote our own Casey Newton, "There are episodes of The Brady Bunch that aren’t this white." That fact manages to be both hilarious and infuriating. I thought we learned this lesson from Exodus: Gods and Kings.
>And the worst part? Why is the one black man in this trailer literally cowering? This movie's principal cast is largely white and the one dude they save for the trailer looks like he pissed himself? How is this acceptable?

It's called a studio blacklist, you should have one.

People thought Jurassic World was going to be shit and look what happened.

>the film promises to be an orgy of terrible acting and awful CGI.
Then why do you even care?
>P.S. I Love You's Gerard Butler
Seriously? You don't know him from any other movie?
Tells you the intended audience.
>Why is the one black man in this trailer literally cowering?
What are they trying to imply?
> whose ancient people were, scholars agree, by no means close to our modern idea of whiteness
They were no means close to blackness either.
Ahistorical people ought to be executed. They don't even WANT to comprehend the truth.
>>62810540
Why are you like this? This is not a good kind of person to be.
>>62809456
>Terrible acting and awful CGI
Bet neither the acting or the CGI would be a problem if niggers replaced Nikolaj or Gerard.
Give me a fucking break. Talk to me when Heimdal is White.
this is gonna bomb so bad, the cgi is 3/10 and the acting the same
>>62810660
You mean space alien Marvel Heimdal? Why does he have to be white?
>>62810766
what's the point of playing dumb anon? you ain't fooling anyone

Because the comic book character was.

>implying egyptians are white
>w-who cares they weren't black! so ha!
>>62810917
I'm mad that they don't stay true to the comic. Nick Fury should've stayed white too.
>>62810943
But Fury is black in the comics
>>62810941
Truth of the matter is, egyptians were sand niggers, brown.

Getting butthurt over a movie is still less lame than making a big deal out of some literal whos getting butthurt over a movie.
>>62811009
Nubians were slaves though.
>>62809456
Yeah, just like tumblrites started shit when Rami Malek was playing a pharaoh. Too white for an egyptian they said
>>62810418
It was?
>>62809456
I thought it didn't matter when you change a character's race? After all you'd have to be some sort of manbaby to cry about a fictional character getting his race changed right?

DO YOU FUCKING REMEMBER EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS
