>we're sorry for not making it more diverse
The fuck? Shouldn't the cast be all egyptian? How would that be diverse? I thought diversity meant there would be people of many different races?

KINGGGZZZ

>wahhh why does this white movie have niggers in it????
>Ancient Egyptian gods being played by Scotts and Danes? They did nothing wrong :^)))
I hate you faggots. I really do
White-washing is the least of what this movie should apologize for.
>even if the movie wasn't whitewashed it'll still bomb
Not even Ra himself can save this shit show

Go home Jamal
Who should be casted then?
Ancient Egyptians weren't black. They weren't Arab either. They most closely resemble modern Copts, but good luck finding Coptic actors in any abundance.
Of course, the true irony is that western libs can't even tell the difference between difference ethnicities and think all middle easterners look the same.
the "diarrhea of cgi monsters" genre needs to die. the movies always flop
>FF4 flops

>works of fiction
>should look exactly like the people who invented them
No. They did nothing wrong. I am not that guy. The studio pussied out because they didn't want it to bomb like Exodus. Which people will tell you bombed because of backlash from having an all white cast, but really bombed because it looked generic and boring.

Is it possible to make a good modern fantasy movie?

>>63103179
It really does, but unfortunately there is an audience for them who happily consume them every time they're released and call them superb movies.
>>63103209
Fantastic 4 flopped because it was dogshit.
>>63103211
>>should look exactly like the people who invented them
I'm not one to care about racewashing in movies, but this particular instance bothered me because it makes no sense for the egyptian gods to be white. A lot of 4chan faggots play the
>it makes no sense for a black man to exist in medieval times!
and then pay no mind to shit like this.

>Apologizing for a movie nobody is going to see anyway.
Is this one of those movies that was made for no other reason than to be a tax write off?
>>63103216
B8 or Shit taste
>>63103459
Well, they still aren't supposed to be black.
>>63103459
egyptians looked more white than they did black.
while hollywood, which resides in a white culture, continues to be the dominant producer of cinema, and white americans are still the dominant consumers of hollywood films, then i see no reason why films should not be whitewashed. make your own fucking films if you don't like it.
>>63103274
Just say Chinese people. For some reason they love an abundance of crappy cgi. Look at any wuxia show.
>>63103055
Just wondering have you ever met an Egyptian?
>>63103266
Damn. SJWs aside, thats pretty shitty..
Boy I sure can't wait until it's mandatory for all schools to teach that ancient Egyptians were black.
>>63103579
Is it bad I love wuxia because of the Rad ass costumes and hot girls?
>>63103651
How about we don't white-wash or black-wash? Let ancient Egyptians be played by Egyptians.
Black man here,
This is just stupid.
Singing off,

That's a fucking blog not an article. Doesn't anyone need to approve shit like this?
